With GoldenEye, Pierce Brosnan delivered one of the best films in the spy series, which has regularly graced the big screen since 1962, right at the beginning of his James Bond career. Brosnan’s subsequent adventures were clearly received more critically. This also includes The World Is Not Enough, which is on television today.
Brosnan’s third 007 mission was released in 1999 and feels more like one of the action blockbusters from the first half of the 2000s than a traditional Bond film. The action knows no limits. Brosnan throws himself from one gigantic set piece to the next, before even a nuclear submarine is unleashed at the end.
One of the most over-the-top James Bond films: The World Is Not Enough is a rollicking action-fest
In The World Is Not Enough, an oil tycoon is killed in a bomb attack. Bond feels responsible and wants to protect his daughter Elektra (Sophie Marceau). But she is in cahoots with the mean Renard (Robert Carlyle), who is only interested in one thing: nuclear weapons. Here comes the nuclear physicist Dr. Christmas Jones (Denise Richards) was called upon to save the world with 007.

The story of the film was published in the industry magazine Variety when it was released in theaters “stupid” and “overloaded” described. Basically, that’s exactly what makes the film so great: The World Is Not Enough sets off unparalleled action fireworks without being ashamed of the pure pleasure and joy of it.
The opening sequence already has more action than some Bonds have in their entire running time. Brosnan becomes one Agent superheroes that can handle any terrain, any gadget and any challenge. The James Bond series has rarely been so exuberant and in love with its own possibilities.
