I thought Christmas only comes once a year.

The World is Not Enough

Okay I know this isn't a children's movie. I KNOW. However, this is the first James Bond movie I saw in the theaters back in 1999. I was a kid…and I saw it…so I'm going to do it.

I know many Bond fans have mixed feelings about Pierce Brosnan. You either love his Bond or you hate it. I'm in the camp of liking his Bond. He's just so dreamy…erm, yes he's very to look at…oh wait, he's just fun okay. I think he's trying to be an English Bond, but good lord his Irish accent comes out a lot.

The World is Not Enough is the third Brosnan Bond movie. It's long at two hours and eight minutes. It also feels quite long as well. How the hell did I sit through this thing? As an adult, it still feels quite long. At least the cast is quite good---Robbie Coltrane, Robert Carlyle, Sophie Marceau, and of course Dame Judi Dench.

But then there's Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist…yikes.

Plot in a Nutshell: Okay so I'm going to try to figure this out. James Bond drives a boat after M16 is bombed, killing an oil magnate. The oil magnate's daughter is really hot, and Bond bangs her after hanging out with Russian Robbie Coltrane. But there's her former kidnapper who loves her and they're together? And they kill her dad the oil magnate? And steal a nuclear bomb? For reasons? M is also captured and is a badass. But then the good guys win, and Bond bangs Nuclear Scientist Denise Richards.

WTF: See above. Also, there's a character called Dr. Molly Warmflash. Come on.

Fun Facts are Fun: This was the last movie for Desmond Llewelyn, who played Q. He died in a car accident soon after the movie's premiere. Serena Scott Thomas, the aforementioned Dr. Warmflash, did her love scene herself with no doubles.

The Verdict: Eh not the best Bond outing, but if you want to see some good actors blow shit up, then be my guest.

I'm not even following a schedule anymore, so who knows what I'll do?!?!?
