WOW!!!
25 November 1999
I just got out of The World is Not Enough and I only had one problem with it, Denise Richards. When I first heard a year ago that they wanted to cast the two-timing babe of Starship Troopers for this role I thought, nah, never. But they did! Leaving the fact that she cannot act out of this, she is not a Bond girl! Bond girls are supposed to have charme!! Something like Sophie Marceau has, now there was a Bond girl. As for the rest of the film, it was what I call a holy cow movie (for lack of using words my mother wouldn't want to see), otherwise said, I spent the whole movie saying "Holy cow!!!", "Holy cow!!!" at all the action sequences. An avid Bond fan I can truly say that this is one of the best because only now, with current pyrotechnic technologie could these Bond action scenes be filmed. Like the explosive debut which was like it's own movie. The story was not as good as Goldeneye (006 betraying Bond because he is a Lienz-Cossack) but the action was a lot more fast paced. As for the bad guy, Renard (fox in french, which no one could pronounce right, not even Sophie Marceau who is French) was excellent but not as good as Trevelyan, someone who forcefully was better than Bond because he was at MI6 longer (006) so the perfect bad guy. Pierce Brosnan just plain did another excellent job with this movie, like Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies and though alot don't agree, he is the best Bond, being more naturally sophisticated, suave and debonaire than Sean Connery (whom I like second best). I just don't how they'll top this.
