Best movie of this year hands down!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is more like a remake of the overused formula plot of old Bond movies where a megalomaniac steals and strikes the superpowers from a hideout to create a misunderstanding and start WWIII and become the principal bargainer in the process. It lacked intrigue, suspense, twists, not that many of Bond movies have that, but was far too straightforward, predictable and cliche. I always liked Brosnan , he is one of the better Bonds I felt, hope he had something more play to with in the opportunities he got to play this iconic character. 6/10

It was pretty much the general consensus that Pierce Brosnan's first outing as Bond ('Goldeneye') was actually a vast improvement on the brief 'Dalton era' (sorry Tim!). So, there was some speculation as to whether 'Goldeneye' was a fluke or not when it came to the next film in the franchise 'Tomorrow Never Dies.' I think I was as pleased as any Bond fan when I say that I was pleasantly surprised. I could almost say that – overall – 'Tomorrow Never Dies' is actually the highlight of the Brosnan reign.The film does its best to steer clear of the slightly more fanciful notion of a supervillain trying to take over the world, instead choosing for almost satirising one of today's real life media moguls (Rupert Murdoch anyone?) in their attempts to gain global positioning as the one and only source of news for the entire planet. And, in typical Bond style, this isn't done in the boardroom, but by starting a war between the UK and China, then filming the carnage that ensues. But, whatever carnage the villain can create, Bond does his best to match. And he does it very well. If you've seen one Bond film (especially one of the more modern ones with the higher budget) you should know what to expect. You get the fights, the chases and the exotic locations. It's all here for your enjoyment. I'm not dwelling on the details because it's all pretty standard when it comes to Bond films (please don't take that as a put-down of the film – it's actually the opposite!). This could almost be the 'perfect' Bond. That doesn't mean that it's the best of all that have ever been made. It has a formula like the rest and crosses all boxes, it just does it really well and, despite not giving anything that original, still is totally enjoyable – maybe even for people who aren't fans of the series.There are a few things that are 'extra' good about the film, such as the satirical take on the media (obviously filmed before the internet took off and you could probably take over the world or start a war via Twitter). Bond's boss, 'M,' gets more screen time (and with Judi Dench playing the role, then that's no bad thing), plus Michelle Yeoh is possibly the most capable and coolest Bond girl so far. The gadgets and Q are back, even if Desmond Llewelyn is looking more and more frail by now.I didn't see much in the way of negative points, however, if I'm going by other people's opinions of the film, I would mention that some felt than Jonathan Pryce was a little 'weak' as the villain/media mogul 'Elliot Carver.' Personally, I thought he was great, but many disagreed. I always thought that if you wanted to see a truly wooden Bond villain then try 'Moonraker' or 'The Spy Who Loved Me!' Overall, 'Tomorrow Never Dies' is a very solid Bond movie with a breath-taking chase through the streets of China between a motorbike and a helicopter. Brosnan has really hit his stride with this one – just do try not to be too upset by Bond driving a BMW!

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.

Quite annoying James Bond Movie, I think this was/are. Can't help it; It just never comes to me, how many times I ever try to absorb this movie fair and square.*Pierce Brosnan continuing his mission as James B. quite moderate, almost in a diminished way. He sometimes disappears in the exhibit of sponsor cars and cell-phones, occasionally seems to get in the more silly smiling "Moore"-way. (Sorry about that, Roger....) 5 out of 10.*To me, Jonathan Pryce might be the most annoying and demanding villain of the whole Bond Encyclopedia. As Elliot Carver, a widely rich publisher, who's thirst after breaking news gets unsound. Overacting like h*** when shouting out his devastating plans (to get total control over world media) to anyone who comes in his way. 2 out of 10.*Teri Hatcher's brief cameo does not do her talents right. Just playing the usual symbol wife to Mr. Evil, and happens to have some 007 past stories. 4 out of 10.*Chinese agent Michelle Yeoh is a partner to old Jimmy in the same political way we've seen before. One participant from both the threatened sides. (Does it quite fresh and in a nice way, by all means.) But some super hero stuff pulls the grade some downwards. 5 out of 10.*Sheryl Crow is a favorite of mine, who's musicality has given me much pleasure over the years since the arrival on the public scene in the mid 90's. Being a talented studio musician/singer for years, working with - among others- Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart and Sting, she wanted to try the wings of her own, which went out pretty well. With catchy music and good looks a woman can hypnotize the world, that's for sure.But this theme score I found kind of anemic back then, and it didn't matured over the years either. An easy forgotten tune in my ears. 4 out of 10.*SUMMARY: The one - kind of - less good 90's James Bond. ( OK, there were only three of them...)There were some slight improvement to come in two years time, before the disastrous Brosnan Good-Bye in 2002.
