I am a great Bond-fan so I was very intruiged to see the new Bond-film 'The World is not Enough.'
I went to see it and I liked it very much. The story this time is interesting,especcially the character Electra King,wonderfully played by French actress Sophie Marceau, is very well written.
But off course you are not going to see a Bond-movie for the story,you expect to see great action scenes, stunts,evil villains,beautiful locations and great humour.
And all the things I mentioned above were presented very well in this Bond-film.
The action scenes in the oil-pipes, on the mountains of Kazachstan and especially on the Thames in London were very spectacular.
Robert Carlyle is convincing as a villain who don't feel any pain.
The locations were very exotic and the scenes in Istanbul gave me a nostalgic feeling to 'From Russia with Love.'
But the most important thing in a Bond-movie is the actor who plays it.And Brosnan did it very well. He's agressive,he has got a sense of humour and he really looks like the gentleman Bond is supposed to be. But in some scenes we see Brosnan also in a more vulnerable position. So I think Brosnan is after Connery the best Bond-actor.
My conclusion is that 'The World is not Enough' is a great Bond-movie with all the elements that make this series,after almost 38 years,still one of the greatest movie experiences of the year.
