The World is Not Enough

Ok, I lied. I promised I wouldn't return to another James Bond movie after the last offering, Tomorrow Never Dies. I went in the hope of a turnaround and I almost got it.

In The World is Not Enough, a madman is hell-bent on holding the world hostage with a nuclear weapon. Or is it a crazy oil heiress attempting to sabotage her competition? Or is it both? Or none? The plot does get a little twisted. There are the standard chase scenes and the requisite eye candy, but unfortunately Pierce Brosnan has yet to slip into a likeable James Bond version in the midst of all this. This movie is standard action fare and little more. It was better than the last which felt like you were sitting through a 90 minute commercial.
