    Hmmm, not too bad but it will never be a classic eh!

    Pierce Brosnan's sophomore outing as James Bond finds 007 up against a megalomaniac media owner (Jonathan Pryce) who wants to bring the world to the brink of World War III for ratings.

    Brosnan continues his dominance in the James Bond role and Michelle Yeoh plays one of those Bo...( read more)nd girls that's different from other Bond girls that we've been hearing about for thirty years. Terri Hatcher's role as the media mogul's wife is practically a cameo- she makes no difference to the film other than to give Bond as little sentimental time. Jonathan Pryce gives a good portrayal of the villain Elliot Carver at the beginning, but turns into a lampoon of himself by the end of the film.

    Tomorrow Never Dies is an average action film which makes it a below average Bond movie. It just sort of presents its self and says "Here I am". The action sequences are OK, but beyond that it gets a little dicey character wise. A lackluster Bond film.

    "The Man. The Number. The License...are all back."

    James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) learns billionaire media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) is manipulating world events via an exclusive flow of information through his satellite system reaching all corners of the planet. ...( read more)With a stealth battleship sinking a British naval vessel, Carver sees that the Chinese are blamed. Crashing Carver's party in Hamburg, Bond meets "journalist" Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), later revealed as a Chinese agent. In a brief tryst, Bond renews his past relationship with Carver's wife Paris (Teri Hatcher). Carver dispatches Stamper (Gotz Otto) and other goons to cancel Bond, who eludes attackers with some of his new gadgets. In Southeast Asia, after Bond and Wai Lin scuba dive into the sunken British ship, they are captured by Stamper, handcuffed, and taken to Saigon where they make a motorcycle escape. To thwart Carver's plans for WWIII, the two agents head for Carver's stealth ship where a cruise missile is aimed at Beijing.

    Not bad for a Bond, though I thought that Brosnan did a better job in GoldenEye. Problem with this film is that there's no time for any groundwork. Once you are in the rollercoaster, there's no exploring or talking, you just sit back 'till the ride is over. The writers touch upon the fact that being a secret agent is a lonely job, but they've could have give it more thought and work it out a bit more. But nonetheless, not bad.

    Boring as hell bond film. Such a waste of Michelle Yeoh.
  • February 8, 2010
    Like the movie before this(Goldeneye) the fun continues.The vilain (Jonathan Pryce) is bad, psychotic and funny.In this re-watch i'm liking the Brosnan era of 007.Give it a try.

  • January 3, 2010
    Cool James Bond, probably the best intro sequence of all the James Bond films at the arms bazaar in Russia.
  • December 20, 2009
    Only the performance of Michelle Yeoh lit up this movie. Aside from that it's largely forgetable with an awful villain.
  • December 19, 2009
    Less than average Bond film.
