Il mondo non basta Ratings e Recensioni
- LivewireAdmin3 febbraio 2026Revisiting The World Is Not Enough really shows how uneven this late-’90s stretch of Bond could be. Pierce Brosnan, who carried such sharp urgency in GoldenEye and even kept a respectable edge in Tomorrow Never Dies, drifts into a version of the character that feels more Moore than Dalton. The quips come rapid-fire, many of them landing with a thud, and the film’s final line — “I thought Christmas only comes once a year” — might be the largest eye-roll the franchise has ever delivered as a closing note. The whole movie sits at a strange, lower tier of craftsmanship compared to what preceded it. Action-wise, there’s nothing on the level of Bond’s brutal, grounded final fight with Alec Trevelyan, and even the confrontations with Renard feel oddly weightless. He’s pitched as an unstoppable opponent because he can’t feel pain, but that never translates into anything particularly compelling in combat. Bond struggling against him doesn’t feel nearly as believable as it should. Where the film does find some spark is through Sophie Marceau. Elektra King remains one of the more interesting antagonists of the Brosnan era, and her psychological grip on Bond makes the neck-torture scene stand out in a movie that otherwise blurs together. But for every moment that works, the film stumbles somewhere else. The decision to cast Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist is baffling even by Bond’s looser standards. Nearly every line reads stiffly, and the ADR is distractingly obvious throughout the climax. The story doesn’t offer much lift either. Bond helping safeguard Elektra’s oil pipeline feels like an odd, almost mundane assignment, something lacking the urgency or scope you expect from a 007 mission. Even the locations have a muted quality — Kazakhstan and Istanbul are capable of being visually striking, but the film never makes much use of them, leaving the worldbuilding feeling thin. I didn’t dislike the movie, but it’s impossible not to feel the gap between this outing and the stronger entries that started Brosnan’s run. What’s left is a middling Bond film with scattered highlights, dragged down by weak character choices and a tone that leans too heavily into broad humor. A decent watch, but far from memorable. fun fact: - The World Is Not Enough held the record for the longest pre-titles sequence until No Time to Die
- ርልዪረ28 gennaio 2025.̸̳̔̎̎̎/̸̛̅̅͆̎͞ ̔̿̅ ̄̅̅ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ ̿ Up until Q makes his exit scene, you could have mistaken this for a lighter, ‘70’s style Roger Moore Bond movie. 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.
- GBWest2 novembre 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...
- Aladdin13 maggio 2025Best Bond series with Brosnan(my opinion)
- Zokkiie10 gennaio 2026It’s got some fun action and a pretty decent villain, but the story’s weak and all over the place. Brosnan is as smooth as ever, and Sophie Marceau actually stands out, while Denise Richards ranks as one of the worst Bond girls. A lot of the supporting cast doesn’t get much to do, and some action scenes are more silly than exciting. Overall, it’s okay to watch if you’re a fan, but nothing special
- Jakeys28 dicembre 2025There are some really great elements in this but some really bad ones too. It blends together into just pretty good. Christmas Jones was just... no. Everything about that character and Denise Richards' performance was crap. Renard was a reasonable villain, but Elektra was even better. Everyone else was as good as always, but the story was a bit up and down. I liked that they showed Bond just killing Elektra in cold blood, that was a bold choice for this era of Bond movies.
