Review of The World Is Not Enough (1999) by Vidyabum — 21 Oct 2021

I watched all 25 from Dr.No to Spectre, I would place The World is Not Enough at 20/25.

I would say Tomorrow Never Dies is actually worse, but in that one, I find an odd fascination with how much I can hate it. Getting drunk and hating on a terrible movie is a form of enjoyment to find.

In here, there is nothing. The plot is uninteresting. The villains are VERY uninteresting, and are probably the worst part of the movie. The scenes are uninteresting. The action, which was at least bombastic in Tomorrow, is now just hashed out and extremely synthetic.

This movie has the odd distinction, in a franchise full of crazy ideas, poor taste, and nonsensical plots, that still get to be forgiven and enjoyed, to be the one that doesn't have anything "really" bad. Instead, it is that low in my list because it just has nothing good. Actors, plot, emotion, action, there is nothing. Just an utterly skippable and pointless movie. The only thing to see is Sophie Marceau, which is still a sight to see, but everything else should be skipped.
