Oliver J Critics Consensus: “Emotional, explosive, and elegantly crafted, The World Is Not Enough blends high-octane action with unexpected depth, giving Bond a mission that’s as personal as it is perilous.” Pierce Brosnan’s third turn as James Bond finds 007 in more complex territory—both emotionally and geopolitically. When a billionaire oil tycoon is assassinated, Bond is drawn into a web of deception involving the tycoon’s daughter, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), and the ruthless terrorist Renard (Robert Carlyle), a man who can’t feel pain. The result is a sleek and layered thriller that dares to give Bond a heart beneath the tuxedo. Brosnan delivers his most nuanced performance yet, balancing charm with vulnerability, while Marceau steals scenes as one of the franchise’s most fascinating femme fatales—equal parts alluring, tragic, and dangerous. Judi Dench’s expanded role as M adds gravitas, grounding the film with emotional weight rarely seen in the series. Director Michael Apted, known for his character-driven dramas, injects the film with a surprising maturity without sacrificing spectacle. The action remains top-tier—from a speedboat chase down the Thames to a daring climax inside a sinking submarine—but it’s the film’s emotional undercurrents that truly set it apart. Verdict: A bold and emotionally charged Bond adventure, The World Is Not Enough proves the franchise can evolve without losing its trademark swagger. It’s a thrilling reminder that even a legend can surprise you.

Extremely underrated when it comes to Bond movies. First, the Bond girls are great. The plot is fun. Brosnan is the best Bond and delivers here. The punny lines and writing is sensational in this movie. This is a movie that understands it is slightly tongue in cheek and entertaining. Oh, and the action scenes in this movie are so good. The boat chase is 10/10. Great movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review James P The fact that Die Another Day is only marginally worse than this monstrosity says it all.
