really less than realistic

What got me was the handling of weapons grade plutonium with bare hands.
Mostly you have to have a clean room with something like leaded glass
and a waldo to handle this kind of radiation hazard.
If they did what the film showed, they would be dead very quickly.
Other than that it is an ordinary bond film.
But this kind of mistake in technical things makes
me wonder how much other stuff is totally fake as well?
Somebody is may believe they can handle weapons grade stuff like this and die?
Don't try these stunts at home type of thing...Only after the
cold war is over could anyone believe this?

The best Brosnan Bond movie.
Added 9/16/2009
Goldeneye was bad, TND was horrible but The World Is Not Enough was okay! It is not one of the best Bond films but still, it's almost nearly as good as some of the old Bonds! Robert Carlyle was pretty good, Sophie Marceau was surprising, Denise Richards was not a very convincing nuclear technician(but she had other qualities...) and, most important, Pierce Brosnan finally had a chance to be a real James Bond, not is usual Rambo style "secret agent". Garbage did a good job with the theme song(as did Sheryl Crow). Its an okay Bond, and a huge leap away from the last 3 movies.

More than Enough
Added 9/14/2009
For me, this is one of the great Bond films. The action is great as well as the performances.

Love Brosnan as Bond
Added 9/13/2009
Though I've enjoyed the later Bond movies starring Daniel Craig, I still think Pierce Brosnan was the better Bond, James Bond. Craig never seems like he's having any fun. Brosnan has the ability to show Bond enjoying himself, while still bringing a more realistic performance to a very non-realistic film genre. When Bond is getting choked to death in some Byzantine torture mechanism, Brosnan makes you feel Bond's pain (even if it is much less pain than a normal person would feel.) This movie is blessed and cursed with one of the best of the "Bond girls" and one of the worst. The beautiful Sophie Marceau plays Bond's love interest in the movie, gorgeous and mysterious. The beautiful Denise Richards plays Dr. Christmas Jones, a nuclear scientist, but the actress just is not up to the job. The World is Not Enough wasn't the best Bond outing with Brosnan, but still one of the better of the series, and one I enjoy rewatching.

The funniest part - Denise Richards trying to act
Added 7/20/2009
Were it not for the inclusion of Denise Richards in this movie, I would have enjoyed it a [bit] more. One can usually forgive all the characters that are thrown in a Bond film. But I cannot stress enough the unbearable scenes in which Denise Richards opens her pie-hole; as if reading straight from the script with no feeling. She wrecked the entire film.
Not one of the best Pierce Brosnan Bond movies. Especially with the goofy story line of the wacko Renard, who doesn't feel pain. And M, getting involved too closely in the operation, leading to her kidnapping.
