bombersflyup Tomorrow Never Dies is one of the weakest installments of Bond. Entertaining enough, but nothing about it stands out.I don't care for the story or any of the villains. Carver was quite annoying and his muscle Stamper was as bland as can be. I think Teri Hatcher needed to be involved more and Michelle Yeoh's character was pretty uninteresting. There is so much unnecessary gunplay and kung fu. It might be the most action filled bond of the lot, trying to fill the void of the many things lacking. It's not just that though, it's quite a lot of bad action, I mean a chopper is flying behind them and they're just riding straight and the bullets are missing them. Just because you are Bond doesn't mean you can't be shot, you have to actually be better than them. The song by Sheryl Crow is also very weak and completely unmemorable. Despite a whole lot of negatives, it still isn't a bad film, just one of the worst in this particular great series.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "007: Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997)Actor Pierce Brosnan, reprising his elegantly portrayal in the role as James Bond in a much darker received "007" picture directed by Roger Spottiswoode, who together with magnificient atmospheric coverage by cinematographer Robert Elswit, deliver an future-establishing action movie for a more adult target audience.Producers Barbara Broccoli, first time presenting without her recently deceased father Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996) through the Eon Productions Ltd. banner, and Michael G. Wilson raise stakes with first Bond film providing a production budget over a hundred million U.S. dollar. The action scene are in terms of scale superior over "GoldenEye" (1995) with ranging from a Jetstream missiles shooting pre-title sequence, then Bond, in a rare commander uniform presence, before he base jumps from a in-flight gunship to dive for a sunken British destroyer and an accelerating skyscraper window-breaking escape sequence in exotic exterior Thailand locations, where "007" engages with Chinese spy Wai Lin, performed by highly physical-trained actress Michelle Yeoh. Together they must speed through Saigon city on a highlighted motorcycle chase, followed by vicious henchmen of the Carver Media Group, led by the character of Elliot Carver, playfully and outgoing portrayed by actor Jonathan Pryce, who did his homework by sharing one of the most memorable beats in "007" nemesis history in fabricating the News of the World for personal benefits.Composer David Arnold creates an epic score, which comes along with striking visuals, but then again are not given justice by an inbalanced editorial of 115 minutes that misses out in decisive beat work and leaves the audience at times completely lost, especially in the Hamburg Carver News launching occasion, within an unless initially-intriguing screenplay by Bruce Feirstein, which only partially succeeds to be full-bodied quality motion picture entertainment as to say a unique hyper-suspenseful thriller, which "Tomorrow Never Dies" could have been under a different direction by putting further focus on the relationship between the character of Paris Carver and James Bond and its World War 3 menacing consequences.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Filipe Neto Directed by Roger Spottiswoode and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, has Bruce Feirstein script and is the eighteenth film in the franchise. In this film, Pierce Brosnan plays 007 alongside Michelle Yeoh, in the role of Bond-girl Wai Lin, Teri Hatcher, on the role of Paris Carver and Jonathan Pryce, in the role of Elliot Carver. In this film, James Bond will investigate a mysterious act of war between Britain and China, allying to an agent of the Chinese secret services. Quickly, the two spies will focus their attention on a mysterious and egocentric mogul media, which doesn't look at ways to keep himself at the top of the audience.This is the second movie where Pierce Brosnan gives life to Bond and, as in the first appearance, he failed to surprise the audience. The actor is good and strives but failed to give authenticity to his Bond, even in action scenes, and convincing the public. Not to mention that, increasingly, advertising products will invade the film as if it were a plague. The plot, however, will help getting to forget such problems. In fact, the way the mass media influences the world thinking is still a concern for many people, particularly the anti-mainstream groups. Still, it's sad to see that, as happened with the previous film, this movie also has not sought a drop of inspiration in the novels of Ian Fleming. Another very positive point of this film is the excellent interpretation of Jonathan Pryce, in the villain's role. He managed to become truly relentless. The curious Q-branch gadgets back to deserve a positive note thanks to a BMW, which not only walks alone but also has a female voice. The opening theme of this film, sung by Sheryl Crow is, in my opinion, striking and worthy of being heard and appreciated.

nicholls_les Really love this film apart from the villain Elliot Carver who is just rubbish and possibly the worst Bond villain ever. That said there is a lot to like about this film. Pierce Brosnan is at his best and I personally prefer the way he portrays Bond to Daniel Craig who looks more like a builder than a Spy.007 is on a mission to avert war between china and the West that Elliot Carver is manipulating to sell more news on his global media empire. On the way Bond meets up with his former lover, played by the beautiful Teri Hatcher who is now Carver's wife. Bond joins forces with Wai Lin played by the amazing Michelle Yeoh and the Motorbike chase is better than most car chases in certain other films I can think of. the action is fantastic.Only down side is the ending which seems a bit of an anti-climax, but overall another brilliant Bond film by the amazing Mr Brosnan.
