Product Description
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

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.

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

1.0 out of 5 stars The Worst of 007, 19 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Tomorrow Never Dies [1997] (DVD)
Until the release of 'Die Another Day'. Brosnan is the weakest Bond (Lazenby included), less of a man than Connery, Dalton and Lazenby and less funny than Moore. He tries for a combination of assets and finishes with nothing.

It's by no means all his fault, more blame must go the producers Wilson and Broccoli. Still, at least the films are making money again.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll just have to decide how much pumping is needed James, 11 Jun 2005
This review is from: Tomorrow Never Dies [1997] (DVD)
Pierce Brosnan's second outing as 007 is highly impressive. This action and gadget laden film had me hooked the moment I fist saw it at the cinema. An utterly glittering spy thriller with a spectacular beginning accompanied by the beautiful Michelle Yeoh and an unusual yet satifying story line makes this my favourite out of all the Pierce Brosnan films. An outstanding film. AN ABSOLUTE MUST BUY

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, very poor., 13 Aug 2004
This review is from: Tomorrow Never Dies [1997] (DVD)
I can't understand why some people think this film is good. They are probably blind, or deaf, or perhaps both.

1 star for the movie and here's why: a very standard plot enlivened with a few reasonable action sequences. The acting in this film is absolutely atrocious, however. The cast are simply wooden, Brosnan always did need to go back to school, but the usually effective Pryce is shocking
