The World is Not Enough The James Bond movies are sometimes described as formulaic, but that's not quite right. A formula is more exact, more scientific.
Bond movies are a lot more like recipes.
Here, in The World is Not Enough, most of the ingredients are there for a successful Bond movie. We've got Brosnan as the best Bond of the decade, the redoubtable Dame Judith Dench as M, the new Iron Lady of the United Kingdom, and the winsome Samantha Bond as Moneypenny in the front office. The sultry Sophie Marceau, whose only fault is that she is not Elizabeth Hurley, steams up the screen quite nicely as the Bond Girl. The chase scenes are here, too, but they're nothing special. An imaginative race inside an oil pipeline is the best of them.
