Sum up The World Is Not Enough in 007 words or less. Feel free to add in as many 007 Words Or Less reviews as you wish. The more the better!

Examples:

Excellent villainess, boring Bond girl
Too much of the personal element
Third time is always the best
The worst. Period.

Brosnan's best, but that's not saying much.

Would be better without Denise Richards' character.

In my opinion, the best Brosnan Bond.
Killing Electra in cold blood.
Dame Judi out of the office.
Thank God for wet t-shirts!

Killing of Electra a high point of the series
Film is too stoggy
Too many characters
Dull locations
Bad dialogue
The Best titles sequence
A feeling of a missed opportunity

It's only disliked by a few outspoken people on here.

Brosnan at his best third time around

One day all will acknowledge its crumminess.

Somehow gets worse with each passing day.

Action sequences like watching paint dry.

(and, to find one positive...)

Torture chair scene belongs in a better film.

Best Brosnan Bond
Best Villainess
Better Bond gets personal storyline than LTK
One of the best Bond films ever
One of the best scenes in Bond film history: Killing Electra
Best Dialogue: I never miss

Poorly edited action scenes
PTS goes on too long
Still better than DAD
Commendable attempt at change
Great villainness (Elektra), lame villain (Renard)
Q's final appearance memorable
Tends to worsen on repeat viewings
Underrated, oft-maligned

Brosnans best Bond performance, period.
Denise Richards as a Nuclear Physisist.............wow............ :tup:
Valentine Zucofsky is now officially the man. :D
Sophie Marceau is absolutlety gorgeous in it.
Worst final line in cinima history.

Merry Christmas! (nice body, really bad acting)
And yet, another BMW...
Sophie Marceau was top class.
It was a great pre-titles sequence.

Hey everyone, longtime forum reader (and Bond fan), first time poster. Thought I'd make my first post in support of one of my favorite films.

Incredible pre-titles kick off Brosnan's best.
