Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Pierce Brosnan returns for his second stint as James Bond (after GoldenEye) and he's doing it in high style with an invigorating cast of co-stars. It's only appropriate that a Bond film from 1997 would find Agent 007 pitted against a media mogul (Jonathan Pryce) who's going to start a global war--beginning with stolen nuclear missiles aimed at China--to create attention-grabbing headlines for his latest multimedia news channel. It's the information age run amok and Bond must team up with a lovely and lethal agent from the Chinese External Security Force (played by Hong Kong action star Michelle Yeoh) to foil the madman's plot of global domination. Luckily for Bond, the villain's wife (Teri Hatcher) is one of his former lovers and, at the behest of his superior M (Judi Dench), 007 finds ample opportunity to exploit the connection. Although it bears some nagging similarities to many formulaic action films from the '90s, Tomorrow Never Dies (with a title song performed by Sheryl Crow) boasts enough grand-scale action and sufficiently intelligent plotting to suggest the Bond series has plenty of potential to survive into the next millennium. Armed with the usual array of gadgets (including a remote-controlled BMW), Brosnan settles into his role with acceptable flair and the dynamic Yeoh provides a perfect balance to the sexism that once threatened to turn Bond into a politically incorrect anachronism. He's still Bond, to be sure, but he's saving the world with a bit more sophisticated finesse. --Jeff Shannon

On the DVD: Somewhat disappointingly there is no specific "making-of" documentary for Tomorrow Never Dies: instead we get a generic "Secrets of 007" made-for-US-television feature, a promotional piece that does however include footage from the set of TND. There is also a very brief special effects reel, which highlights the novel (for a Bond movie) use of CGI, as well as a breakdown of key sequences with their storyboards. Elsewhere, composer David Arnold enthuses about writing Bond music from a fan's perspective and Sheryl Crow's music video is included as are theatrical trailers and a text piece on some of the gadgets. There are two commentaries: the first from producer Michael Wilson and stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong; the second has director Roger Spottiswoode in conversation with "friend and colleague" Dan Petrie Jr. Only die-hard fans would have wanted both, the rest may find themselves switching between the two. The film, of course, looks and sounds stunning. --Mark Walker




Rating: - this bad one is dreadful
After the brilliant re-start which was Goldeneye, Brosnan and the team at EON, managed something of a first for the genre with TND. Fans would never again be able to defend the low points of the series with the truism that 'even the bad ones are good', because this film (which wouldn't be lonely for long)was not just a bad James Bond film, it was was a hands down, bona fide turkey.The only thing it now has going for it is the fact that, following the release of Die Another Day, it is redeemed as ...

Rating: - HUGELY ENJOYABLE BOND ADVENTURE
I happen to be one of the biggest fans of Pierce Brosnan's Bond films so it is a foregone conclusion as to my opinion of this film. It was the first Bond film I watched on the big screen and I love it, is is enjoyable, has many a great action sequence and Pierce Brosnan, in his second role as 007, shows a confidence in getting into the role. Like all of his Bond films (GoldenEye, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day), the writers here develop a more character development trait within the film's ... Read More

Rating: - Tomorrow will never dies
James Bond, everybody knows him, but why is he so special? I understand people like the action and thrills, but after seeing 1 James Bond film you already know what will happens.

James Bond is a perfect gentlemen, who knows how to manipulated people. in his suite and nice car he protects the world from dangerous criminals. after seeing this film, I was already disappointed. I tell you why; there is a criminal, who wants to do bad things to the world and James Bond will take the criminal down. ... Read More

Rating: - Media mogul threatens Bond...??
The second outing for Pierce Brosnan as Bond is not as re-defining as his debut was, but taken as an action picture, or as the 18th movie in the Bond series, and it is still a top movie.

The opening pre-credit sequence sets the tone for the whole film. Explosions...lots of them. And some incredibly cool action moments, plus a brilliant introduction to our leading spy hero.

Jonathon Pryce plays villain duty this time - a media mogul threatening war so he can have the headlines. Although ... Read More

Rating: - Bond takes on a media giant and wins!
Pierce Brosnan's second outing contains all the usual bangs, explosions and gadgets, but there is something wrong.

This movie is famous for containing the "worst bond baddie ever". Jonathan Pryce plays Carver, a man who is desperate to control the world's media, this man isn't interested in blowing up countries or killing inocent people, he just wants more people to watch his TV and buy his papers. That said he is trying to start a world war buy making everyone is firing on everyone else, but its not ... Read More
