Why The World is Not Enough

 * 1) Good acting from actors such as Pierce Brosnan, Judi Dench, Robert Carlyle, Desmond Llewelyn, Michael Kitchen, Sophie Marceau and Robbie Coltrane.
 * 2) *Speaking of Desmond, it was sadly his last film as Q before he died after it was released theatrically, and it's nice to see him as Q one last time.
 * 3) *Speaking of Pierce Brosnan, he acts very serious throughout the film in a good way.
 * 4) Some of the dialogue is awesome, funny and memorable. For example:
 * 5) *One last screw!
 * 6) *Let's skirt the situation.
 * 7) *Boss, your alive, it's so good to see you. Me too!
 * 8) *Call him off!
 * 9) *See you back at the lodge.
 * 10) *I thought Christmas only came once a year.
 * 11) *She's waiting for you!
 * 12) The soundtrack by David Arnold is awesome and well-done.
 * 13) Good direction by Michael Apted.
 * 14) Elektra King is an interesting villainess, her plan is that she wants to destroy the oil pipelines so she can be more rich.
 * 15) Good theme song by Garbage.
 * 16) *Speaking of the song, the lyrics cleverly tell what Elektra King is like.
 * 17) The locations are cool.
 * 18) Amazing cinematography for 1999.
 * 19) Good action sequences such as the opening boat chase and the final fight between Bond and Renard.
 * 20) The chair scene is scary and brutal.
 * 21) Bringing back Zukovsky was a good idea.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The pacing is a bit slow.
 * 2) Denise Richards doesn't give a good performance as Christmas Jones, and besides her name makes no sense, despite her being a likable Bond girl.
 * 3) Renard is a boring villain, he doesn't really threaten Bond or anyone else, and how can he have a bullet launched in his brain killing him but slowly keeping him alive? That can instantly kill him!
 * 4) The plot can be uninteresting at times.
 * R, whilst funny is a pointless character, he doesn't do that much. But he does become the next Q.
 * 1) Sometimes the tone can't decide whether to be serious or campy.
 * 2) *But it is at least much more consistent than the next film.

Reception
The World is Not Enough received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert said the film was a "splendid comic thriller, exciting and graceful, endlessly inventive", and gave it three-and-a-half stars out of four. On the other hand, Eleanor Ringel Gillespie of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution disliked the film, calling it "dated and confused". Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a 52% rating, the lowest of the Brosnan Bond films. The site's consensus states: "Plagued by mediocre writing, uneven acting, and a fairly by-the-numbers plot, The World Is Not Enough is partially saved by some entertaining and truly Bond-worthy action sequences. The movie also has a 6.4/10 on IMDb.
