Brosnan Excels as Hard-Edged 007
Added 8/31/2009
A flat pre-credit sequence and by-the-numbers climax prevent "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997) from matching the overall excellence of "GoldenEye." What remains is mostly splendid - with Pierce Brosnan as an elegant yet refreshingly hard-edged James Bond. Jonathan Pryce's multimedia villainy and Michelle Yeoh's energetic presence help tremendously. However, the 007 producers made a big mistake replacing k.d. lang's dynamic theme song with Sheryl Crow's weak "official" version in the opening credits.

Brosnan's best at 007!
Added 6/7/2009
What more can I say but I liked the chase scene with the helicopter and the motorcycle through the crowded city streets! Brosnan did a superb job in this James Bond episode plus Jonathan (Miss Saigon) Pryce as the man who wants to start World War III. Good story line throughout the picture!

It's not as good as Goldeneye, but its still a exiting movie. Goldeneye showed how great Brosnan was and Tomorrow Never Dies continues the fun! The thing I like most about this movie was its explosive beginning. The shootouts were average, but had cool music. Overall, go rent this movie!

A bit tedious
Added 12/3/2008
The final half hour is an overwrought shoot out aboard a stealth craft that is too long by 25 minutes. Nothing happens except a lot of fake bullets fly endlessly. Otherwise, the plot, thinly disguised as a spoof on Rupert Murdoch, involves the usual megalomaniac -in this case, a media mogul - bent on creating world havoc for his own gain. Brosnan is cool in the early going, and the opener, involving an arms bazaar and a nuclear bomb carrying jet fighter is great, as usual with Bond films. The story line overall is just so-so. The title track by Sheryl Crowe is one of the better Bonds.
