The World is Not Enough
"The World Is Not Enough" is a great action-adventure movie with
exciting stunt scenes, exotic locations, beautiful women and traditional
Bond one-liners. Pierce Brosnan carries on the role of the world’s
most famous secret agent, James Bond in which was established by Sean
Connery in 1962’s "Doctor No". Since it is also the 19th installment
to the longest running film series in history, comparing this one to the
older movies is like comparing one athlete to another. But hey, I guess
that’s the fun of it all.
To get more in depth of the film, let’s see if the traditional Bond
trademarks live up to their roles.
1. Bond…James Bond. Pierce Brosnan, in his third appearance as agent
007, has become comfortable in his role and plays it with confidence.
He’s now more understanding and has added a more sensitive side, but
also a harder side to the role that Sean Connery had as Bond and what
Timothy Dalton attempted to achieve. For example, in the scene between
Bond and "M", "M" tells Bond the story behind the kidnapping of King’s
daughter, Elektra and the reasons for why MI6 was involved. The example
of the harder side is near the end when Bond confronts Elektra for the
last time and orders her to call off Renard from carrying out his plans.
She doesn’t do so; therefore, Bond shoots her in the chest and killing
her. Some may argue that this is something that James Bond shouldn’t
do since Elektra was unarmed, but I beg to differ because that is part
of the mission. In 1971’s "Diamonds Are Forever" Connery’s Bond
slapped Tiffany Case (played by Jill St. John) across the face to get
her to tell him information.
2. Who would ever thought that "Q", the inventor of all of James
Bond’s gadgets is retiring. Desmond Llewelyn has played the character
in all the Bond films for the exception of "Doctor No" in 1962 and "Live
and Let Die" in 1973. After demonstrating his lasted invention to 007,
Llewelyn drops out of sight by a sinking platform. I guess that was his
way of saying goodbye.
3. Well, who could replace "Q"? John Cleese makes his debut to the
series as "R", the replacement for "Q". Although "R" is very precise, he
doesn’t use the correct terms for his inventions like "Q" did.
4. Judi Dench is also back as Bond’s boss and head of the British
Secret Service "M". She plays the role with grace and with authority,
creating an intelligence chief who actually seems focused and serious,
even in the uproar of the plot.
5. Only 2 of them? It seems that Brosnan’s Bond has become a Jenny
Craig follower when it comes to the number of women that are involved in
his life. There seems like a shortage in women in this film compared to
the earlier films. French actress Sophie Marceau plays Elektra King, who
is the daughter of a tycoon who wants to link his pipeline from the
former Soviet controlled areas to Europe. Marceau does an incredible job
of playing her role as Elektra. Especially during the intimate scenes
with Bond and with her so-called captor, Renard. Denise Richards is the
other Bond girl in this adventure. She plays a nuclear scientist named
Dr. Christmas Jones. Her performance in the film is ok, but could be
better. For the most part, her part doesn’t fit into the film as much
as Marceau’s character. Basically, she just in the film to kill time
and isn’t all that helpful to Bond. She’s just eye candy for the
film and I think that producers just added her in the film to bring more
people to the theaters.
6. The earlier James Bond films went by the format of having the lead
villain and a henchman as the bad guys. In this film, two people,
Elektra King (spoiler) and Renard share the role of lead villain.
Scottish actor Robert Carlyle plays the character Renard, who was shot
in the head by 009. Since the bullet is stuck in his head, he cannot
feel any pain at all nor can he taste, feel or smell; therefore, making
him limp and can push himself longer and harder than any normal man.
Renard is not the traditional Bond villain like Auric Goldfinger or
Ernest Stavro Blofeld, but more of a thug type of person that would be
seen on an episode of "Cops" or something. I thought that Carlyle did an
exceptional job playing the role. His intimate scene with Elektra was
excellent. It gave the audience a sense of why they were together and
the feelings they had for each other.
7. The locations in the film were great. From the Millennium Dome on the
banks of Thames to the adventurous oil fields of Azerbaijan, exotic
backgrounds and locations are the backbone of a James Bond film and "The
World Is Not Enough" lives up to the die-hard 007 fan.
For the most part, I enjoyed watching "The World Is Not Enough" so much
that I’ve seen it four times. Michael Apted directed this thiller and
does a pretty good job. Neal Purvis and Bruce Feirstein are the writers
for this Bond film that I felt should have left some of the script from
the earlier drafts onto the final draft. I read part of the script six
months prior to the film release and noticed right away that there were
some things that were left out that would have made the film much
better. Also, I felt that the switching of locations was used too much
for a Bond film and felt the director could have done a little more to
make the story run more smoothly. The film had some "old school"
elements that were missing in "GoldenEye" and "Tomorrow Never Dies". I
enjoyed watching the stunts that were in the film. The boat scene during
the opening sequence was fantastic and reminding James Bond fans of the
boat scenes of in "From Russia with Love", "Live and Let Die" and
"Moonraker". The ski chase reminded me of "On Her Majesty’s Secret
Service" when James Bond and Traci Draco were skiing for their lives
down the Swiss Mountains. I liked the way the writers added the title of
the movie into the script. When Elektra tells Bond that she could have
given him the world, Bond responds, "The world is not enough" then he
says that it’s a "family motto". Bond was referring to his family coat
of arms that was translated to him in the 1969 movie "On Her Majesty’s
Secret Service". And finally the music scores. David Arnold, who was the
composer for "Tomorrow Never Dies" comes back again with an excellent
sounds and adding a techno or a retro theme to James Bond.
"The World Is Not Enough" is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action
violence, some sexuality, sexual innuendo and old school elements for
true James Bond fans. Running time 128 minutes.
