The World Is Not Enough Reviews
Bond Done Right
Since I sort of panned 'Die Another Day', I'll sort of praise this movie because relativity is everything. In the critics comments are frequently heard, 'Denise Richards can't act'. I say , 'So What'! She's quite the 'glimmer' to steal a line from the movie and she does not try to impose herself on the movie. Her future competition is Halle Berrie who does a whole lot more but also further dilutes an already too cluttered movie with her pointless attempts at nuance. Personally I'll take the womanly woman over the manly woman any day of the week ! Female assasins on the 'good team' are just plain wrong,('Jinx shoots a Cuban surgeon in cold blood in 'Die Another Day') It may be current reality,(I hope not) but please keep it out of my fantasies ! Okay, the other complaint is Bond's womanizing. Now that I don't understand. The James Bond movies have always been heterosexual male fantasies. It is a heterosexual male fantasy to have beautiful (young) women romantically interested in you at every turn. The producers made more money with 'Die Another Day' so perhaps the future of the franchise is more in that direction. I hope not ! For me these movies have to grab you early and this one did with the incredible boat chase and hot air ballon explosion sequence. There were notable performances from Robert Carlyle who was a fantastic villian, Sophie Marceaux who simply tore it up as the ultimate rich girl behaving badly, Brosnan who was his usual witty self and the portly Russian sidekick who added alot of character to a 'European' style of Bond Movie. That's one reason I liked it so much. There are no obvious attempts to pander to an American audience other than the inclusion of Denise Richards who does nothing to hurt the movie. This movie has great action sequences but they don't overshadow the characters. At the end I felt like I watched a well written, focused Bond movie. 'Die Another Day' needed much more of what Michael Apted brought to this movie.
Great Movie!
This is a pretty exciting movie. I have to say Pierce Bronsan makes the best James Bond, even better than Sean Connery in older James Bond movies. Some of the top action scenes include the Boat Chase, James Bond and Electra King(a very beautiful woman) getting chased while skiing and the helicopter scene. The basic story is that James Bond is sent to protect an oil heiress, whom unknown forces are trying to kill.
Bond thinks it is because they don't want competition from her Oil pipeline. However, the story takes a surprise twist that most won't see coming. For that reason I give this movie 5 stars; for this unusual twist that is not there in other Bond movies.
