The World Is Not Enough (James Bond 007)
After the killing of an oil magnate in MI6, Bond was sent to protect his daughter from certain danger. Renard - who was shot in the brain by a former client - is secretly planning to destroy a large pipeline. James Bond agrees with the research scientist Dr. Christmas Jones, who witnessed the event when Bond met Renard, but Bond is completely skeptical about Electra King. In the end, James Bond's real mission with all this planning is to prevent Renard from destroying Europe entirely.

In a welcome return to the gritty glamour of such early outings as From Russia with Love, this 19th James Bond adventure effortlessly juggles a hard-hitting story with all the expected "super spy" embellishments.

So long as the Brits are sweeping obsolete institutions like the House of Lords into the dustpan of history, may we recommend the broom for James Bond?

The movie is better than you've heard, although that's not saying a lot.

We expect a rousing pre-credit sequence -- and The World Is Not Enough provides not one but two. Together they last 20 minutes and probably cost the GNP of an average Third World country.

At times it's slow and a bit too silly, but at its best, it's the worthy successor to 'GoldenEye' that Brosnan deserved.

What do the James Bond series, the Chicago Cubs, and Master P's No Limit empire have in common? All owe their considerable commercial success more to loyalty, marketing, and tradition than to quality.

Worst of all is a ride through the pipeline in some kind of vague contrivance that looks like the pneumatic tubes from old-time newsrooms when they sent remakes down to composing in the last few minutes before deadline.

What happens this time around? You know exactly what happens: Bond shoots people, has sex and saves the world. The beauty is, as with most Bond movies, it doesn't matter.

While plausibility has never been the Bond films' strong point, The World Is Not Enough takes things to the breaking point.

The action sequences are decent; they just aren't as clever as before.

And what of the actresses who have taken the one-way ticket to career palookaville as the Bond girls? Well, here is the real gem: Sophie Marceau, as glamorous oil heiress Elektra King, is terrific.

Most of all, though, I wondered how much longer people will pay to see a walking, running, driving, diving, punning, smirking, swimming, skiing, shooting, parachuting corpse.
