World is Not Enough, The (1999)


The third Pierce Brosnan Bond film is highly entertaining but silly from beginning to end, providing ridiculous action scene after ridiculous action scene. To tip you off as to how ridiculous this film is, it starts off with not one, but two opening scenes in a row before the title credits. The writing is atrocious with groaners left and right. The plot is an uninspiried buzzword spy plot involving Russians, nuclear weapons, and oil. Here we have the best and the worst of Bond girls--Sophie Marceau as Elektra King and Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones, respectively. Denise Richards is unbelievable as a nuclear physicist and no matter how attractive people think she is, she is a terrible actress. A solid Bond, but certainly not one of the best.

6/10
