Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Lucas t A good second Bond movie for Brosnan, it goes downhill from here. 7.6/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Kinetic, knowing, crammed with high-tech gadgetry and sophisticated in the most superficial sense of the term, I've always liked Tomorrow Never Dies even if it suffered from the carnage of a troubled shoot, it strikes the right balance of menace, thrills and humour, using a chase-movie template to ensure attention never wavers. I honestly believe if this were given a re-edit or expanded cut it would rival or even topple GoldenEye, there's so much potential in this film but it often falls just short of greatness with multiple little niggles that hold it back. The news is mostly good. And when it comes to the Bond movies, there's no news like good news. Director Roger Spottiswoode gets the job done here, sometimes excitingly and with constant style, it's hard to fault any of the film's action, it's all brillantly exciting. Pierce Brosnan's second outing as 007 is even more assured and charismatic than his impressive debut in GoldenEye, he's clearly more comfortable in the tux and genuinely loving his role. The film even made the incredible choice of gifting us Michelle Yeoh as Bond girl, Wai Lin, who is just divine throughout bringing all her acting chops and arse kicking glory to the role. Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver makes for a fantastic throwback to the old Moore villains as a megomaniacal media conglomerate who may or may not just be a not so subtle jab at Rupert Murdoch. The film's only real sorespot in its cast is the wildly miscast and utterly disinterested Teri Hatcher who is just shooting blanks. David Arnold delivers a genuinely exciting score, layering industrialised sounds over traditional orchestration, easy on the ears and marking him out as a fantastic successor to the legendary John Barry. Although I'm questioning the decision of using Sheryl Crow's awful title song over k.d. Lang's Surrender which is miles better. Despite the film's faults, I can't help but enjoy Tomorrow Never Dies, delivering a zippy 007 romp that draws as heavily from the Asian action genre as from the formula that has served the series so well for 35 years. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Rami A It doesn't deserve the hate. It's certainly a lot better than most Bond films. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Ciaran S Tomorrow Never Dies is an okay movie that can be predictable yet great at the same time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Over 25 years old this would be Pierce Brosnan's second outing as James Bond 007 in the 90's era Made $333 million and had twice the budget of Goldeneye I remember this was the first Pierce Brosnan James Bond movie I saw in theaters in the Adirondacks with my family My first introduction to Teri Hatcher, Michelle Yeoh, and Jonathan Pryce This one directed by Roger Spottiswoode takes a modern approach with its plot; the vessel called the HMS Devonshire has been sunk by unknown forces and the newspaper called Tomorrow somehow has all the information first claiming that the British sailors were murdered by Chinese Air Forces All of this is concocted by Elliot Carver of Carver Media Global Network, he's been known to topple governments with the biggest headlines but in reality he's manipulating all of it to potentially start WWIII This is where Bond comes in to find out who sent the ship off course via satellite and prevent war between England and China He also gets unexpected help from Wai Lin of Chinese Intelligence It's fascinating to watch this of a media mogul like Elliot Carver gone-mad, he could be a stand in for Rupert Murdoch Media empires have always had the power to manipulate the news and screenwriter Bruce Feirstein nails it albeit this storyline isn’t all that memorable It's a shame Teri Hatcher regretted her role since she and Pierce did not get along; he complained a few times about her showing up late on set and saying some things wishing he hadn't Maybe the writing could've done her better With Michelle Yeoh it gave more representation as far as Chinese actors in action since that was dominating Eastern cinema, the script thankfully treats Yeoh as an equal to Bond and feels closer to social sensibilities as opposed to previous outings This film puts her more in control of how to take down Carver's plan to take more broadcasting rights in China even by war Bond is more tongue-in-cheek here yet is still serviceable David Arnold adds some contemporary techno elements to the score I really like Sheryl Crow's number of the title making this one of the sexiest Bond pictures The action is absolutely spectacular particularly in Saigon on a motorcycle even if the rest of the movie is kinda shallow It was also the first Bond picture to use digital editing; it has good acting, shot well, and exciting despite being a step below Goldeneye and having a very troubled production Still one of my childhood favorites being a Bond fan Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
