The World Is Not Enough Ratings & Reviews
- GBWestNovember 2, 2025For an action flick, I have a history of sleeping through this one. This is a fine movie, Pierce Brosnon has finally gotten into his element as MI6 James Bond 007 and it feels like he's finally made the character his own. Too bad it is his next to last film as the titular spy. However the film makers basically regurgitated the first draft script for GoldenEye. This film so relied on the GoldenEye first draft for content that it felt like a nod to Timothy Dalton's 007. That aside, I did sleep through great portions of this film...again, though it should be noted that I was running on 2.5 sleep for a 48 hour period. The action was fun, the plot twist obvious, the jokes hit their punny marks, and it is too bad that this was possibly the first and last time we see John Cleese as the new Q. The old Q going into retirement. It's a little sad, seeing as Q was more a part of the James Bond franchise than James Bond...

However after that, TWNE perfectly balances fantasy and realism. Brosnan is at his best 007, bedding and brawling as good as it gets. We get action scene after action scene with a multitude of plausible daring escapes. This Bond is giving the viewer edge of your seat suspense from the realistic danger he may not survive, but is damn near unkillable to the chagrin of the villains. Speaking of, the twist of Electra going to the dark side and a doomed villain still intent on mayhem is some of the most inventive writing outside of Fleming himself that the series has ever presented. Amazing thrills and stunts aside, the story and characterization is forefront. Hell, I even liked M in this one. This 007 has aged well, shaken, not stirred.
