Editorial Review:
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 tomorrowÃ"â??s headlines. Someone is pitting the worldÃ"â??s superpowers against each other Ã"â?" 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 Ã"â?" until 007 zeros in on the true criminal mastermind. BondÃ"â??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 CarverÃ"â??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 CarverÃ"â??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 Ã"â??that roars from start to finish with the throttle wide open (Gene Shalit, NBC-TV)!
Tomorrow Never Dies Reviews:
One of the Best Bond Movies 
2009-09-13 - Tomorrow Never Dies is one of the best Bond movies. Though I've enjoyed the later Bond movies starring Daniel Craig, I still think Pierce Brosnan was the better Bond, James Bond. Craig never seems like he's having any fun. Brosnan has the ability to show Bond enjoying himself, while still bringing a more realistic performance to a very non-realistic film genre. When Bond crashes down onto the Millennium Dome, Brosnan makes you feel Bond's pain (even if it is much less pain than a normal person would feel.) Bond teams up with Michelle Yeoh, as a Chinese secret agent, and provides an equal match for our hero. I would have loved to have seen more with that team. Jonathan Pryce is also entertaining as the main villain. His secret power is the ability to type with one hand. That's one ability I'd like to have!
Ein gut film
2009-05-02 - The first time I watched Tomorrow Never Dies I didn't care for it much. It seemed very "slapped together" and not well thought out. That opinion changed dramatically the second time around, due in part because I hadn't yet seen the first 15 minutes or so.
I'll be effectively brief: Brosnan's four takes at Bond began on a high note and then declined, with TWINE and DAD coming in tied at third. Regardless of Bond's six year cinematic absence, GoldenEye was superb. The acting, directing, and production all syncronized beautifully and delivered a quality product. Tomorrow Never Dies picked up where GoldenEye left off very capably with a flavor all it's own. TWINE and DAD have their good points, but just fall short of the two preceeding films.
Several highlights include a scene with Bond's former flame, Paris. I thought it was a nice touch that added another dimension to an otherwise action-packed movie. The locations are also protrayed and mixed well, featuring parts of Southeastern Asia and a depiction of Germany that was long overdo after the incredibly weak one given in Octopussy. Finally, Brosnan's follow-up performance is excellent. He emulates the hard-edged confidence of Connery, the witty humor of Moore, and the detatched brutality of Dalton: resulting in a unique protrayal matched by his distinctive face and voice.
Yes!!!!
2009-04-11 - This is one of my favorite Bonds. Between Peirce Brosnans acting ant the storyline it is great. Some have said that it is a remake of You Only Liv Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me, but it is also different and quite memorable. The may have the same overarching plot, but the specifics are very different and every one of them is memorable for different reasons. I like the change from a villain who tries to blow up the world with a Nuke or whatever. This is a new kind of villain that is more for the 21st century. This is my favorite Brosnan Bond and is up there in my favorites of all time.
Espionage and Adventure
2009-04-07 - The James Bond character brings another 007 thriller to the screen. You know he is going to win; but, getting there is half the fun. A ruthless tycon wants to disestablish the world's economy to bring the opposing superpowers to their knees so that he can make money. James Bond steps in to prevent WW III from breaking out. Of course, you have to have the beautiful women populating the film too; they add to the great color and variety of the background.
Tomorrow Never Dies 
2008-08-31 - I have never been disappointed with a James Bond movie and this one is no different. I think Pierce Brosnan is great as James Bond and I loved this movie. One of the parts that I really thought was cool was his BMW. The car chase in the parking garage was awesome!! This is one of my favorite Bond movies.
