The World Is Not Enough
The World Is Not Enough - 2.0
Our movie options at this B&B in the Australian rain forest weren't exactly comprehensive so we ended up choosing The World Is Not Enough over Titanic, the other Brosnan Bond movies, and some movie called I'll See You in My Dreams. I was actually relatively excited by the choice since this is the only recent Bond movie I hadn't seen. Well, pretty quickly that excitement turned to disappointment because this movie sucked. I admit I wasn't giving it my full attention so I really didn't follow the plot much; from what I gathered it was something about some evil Eastern Europeans, presumably Russians, acquiring a nuclear sub and proceeding to wreak havoc - pretty standard Bond stuff. However, the plot never grabbed my attention whatsoever. I did start paying a little more attention when Denise Richards (as a rocket scientist named Christmas!!) came into the movie, and then it became even more abundantly clear that this movie sucked. I know Bond girls aren't supposed to act a whole lot but just the way Richards delivered her dialogue made me cringe. What a godawful actress she is. Anyways, my hopes were lifted for a minute when Judi Dench was imprisoned by said evil Eastern Europeans and there seemed to be a chance to see Dame Judi become the badass we all know she can and should be, but unfortunately, nothing ever materialized on this front. Oh well, why should it? This movie sucked.

Hey Ben,
You're right about "The World is Not Enough." It's definitely a weak Bond movie. Have you seen "Casino Royale," though? I thought it was really good.

Casion Royale was awesome, especially the opening chase scene. Daniel Craig was good as Bond too. I liked the way they "rebooted" the series so it was fresh again kind of like Batman Begins did with the Batman series. I look forward to the next one...
