Pierce Brosnan leaps into action as Agent 007 in this spectacular thrill ride of death-defying stunts and amazing high-tech gadgets. In the most electrifying Bond film yet, the unstoppable action hero must prevent a tremendous disaster ripped from tomorrow's headlines. Someone is pitting the world's superpowers against each other ? and only James Bond can stop it. When a British warship is mysteriously destroyed in Chinese waters, the world teeters on the brink of WWIII ? until 007 zeros in on the true criminal mastermind. Bond's do-or-die mission takes him to Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce), a powerful industrialist who manipulates world events as easily as he changes headlines from his global media empire. After soliciting help from Carver's sexy wife, Paris (Teri Hatcher), Bond joins forces with a stunning yet lethal Chinese agent, Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), in a series of explosive chases, brutal confrontations and breathtaking escapes as they race to stop the presses on Carver's next planned news story: global pandemonium! With powerhouse action sequences, including a wild motorcycle pursuit through (and over!) Saigon, Tomorrow Never Dies is a thrilling action-adventure "that roars from start to finish with the throttle wide open (Gene Shalit, NBC-TV)!

Summary: Send In The What?
Comment: I love all of the Bond movies, but in order to enjoy this one you have to suspend belief to a greater degree than usual. Why? Quite simply because we are supposed to believe that a media mogul will risk starting World War III just to grab a few headlines.
Even more ludicrous than that is the statement made at the beginning of the film when it appears that the Chinese have sunk a British warship, and a bright spark exclaims, "Send in the Navy!" Send in the what? I consider myself to be a fiercely patriotic, flag-waving Brit, but Britain now has more Admirals than ships, and the mere suggestion that Britain would single-handedly take on the might of China is laughable.
Still, Bond is Bond. Suspend your belief system and enjoy the action - three stars for the action, and the loss of two stars for the ridiculous plot.

Summary: Tomorrow Never Dies (Special Edition) dies dull death
Comment: As much as Pierce Brosnan is a favorite actor, pairing him with Terri Hatcher was not a great choice. Watch it for Jonathon Pryce, who is brilliant as the villian, and Dame Judy Dench as the perfect M.

Summary: Classic Bond
Comment: Traumatised by my ghasty experience of watching 'Casino Roayle', I decided to cheer myself up by watching a really good Bond movie. I never really cared that much for Pierce Brosnan by comparison with my favourite Bond, Roger Moore, but compared with the dreary nonentity in 'Casino Royale' Brosnan is a prince among men.
This film has everything you want in a Bond movie. Among the many pleasures of this film is an outstanding performance by Jonathan Pryce, clearly enjoying himself hugely playing the mad villain, media mogul Elliot Carver (who bears a striking resemblance to Rupert Murdoch, quite coincidental I am sure). There is lots of humour, plenty of amazing gadgets, a most satisfyingly tough heroine who can do amazing karate kicks, and the most thrilling chase ever in a Bond movie, with Bond and the fesity heroine handcuffed together on a motor bike, tearing through crowded city streets, over rooftops etc, fantastic.
They don't, alas, make Bond movies like this any more.

Summary: Best Bond Film Ever Made!
Comment: Ok, so I love a lot of Bond films, but this one is at the very top of my list with "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "The World is Not Enough." The acting is great, the action is better than most any Bond film, (excluding Casino Royale, which blew my mind with it's high impact chases and fights,) and the score by David Arnold is an instant classic.
This is Bond, James Bond at his absolute best. BUY IT!!
