Tomorrow Never Dies

Pros: Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Yeoh make one of the best teams around.
Cons: One extremely ludicrous action sequence that's laughable. Rampant product placement.

This was the first Bond film in the franchise not to bear a title from one of author Ian Fleming's novels or stories. And with the casting of Pierce Brosnan, the franchise took a leap in the modern 90's and tried to become a touch more politically...

Pros: Excellent pre-credit sequence; performances by Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Pryce, and Vincent Schiavelli
Cons: Inane action for action's sake; weak henchmen; too little love interest; one-dimensional Brosnan outing

If your three top reasons for watching Bond films are action, action, and action, you might like this lame nineteenth entry (counting Never Say Never Again but not counting the highly atypical Casino Royale (1967)) in the longest running ...

Pros: Exciting scenes and gadgets more than you can count.
Cons: I think this needs a different rating more than PG-13.

Pierce Brosnan playing James Bond, who would've thought. This movie takes place after the Cold War, where Bond is chasing a psycho media mogul Elliot Carver, (played by Jonathan Pryce). This movie starts out with all the action right away, he stirred ...

Pros: Fun, thrilling action; many funny moments; lighthearted tone.
Cons: It's cliche and somewhat predictable; it's ain't exactly Shakespeare.

If there's ever been an exception to the perils of excessive cliches and non-stop action, the James Bond films are it. And if there's ever been a James Bond film that not only proves this, but does so by pushing it to the extreme, "Tomorrow Never Dies" ...

Pros: Action, Brosnan, Yeoh, Schiavelli, humour, End song
Cons: Title song, Pryce not menacing enough

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, right? They’ve finally made a media mogul into a Bond villain. It seems a perfect idea, and indeed, the character of Elliott Carver is an interesting one, but although Jonathan Pryce captures the character’s ...

Pros: funny. action. smart. typical bond.
Cons: the bad guy

Some people hated this movie.

They probably also hate roller coasters too. Let them.


If you like your governments bungling, and your Americans lame and skewered, this may be the comedic hit of the decade.


But...

Pros: Action scenes, special effects; It's James Bond!
Cons: Maybe too much action, not enough thought.

Tomorrow Never Dies was released to video shortly after I had decided to become a 007 fanatic, so my expectations were, at that point, not too unfair. I enjoyed the film, particularly the few slower-paced scenes, not to mention the bits involving...

Pros: Pierce Brosnan is great, as always
Cons: Production values suffer

I also enjoyed this Bond film, but strangely not as much as I enjoyed the other ones like A View to a Kill, or Golden Eye, or The World Is Not Enough. Somehow, Bond became a little too domesticated here, and I know his box office prowess suffers every...

Pros: Michelle Yeoh!
Cons: Loooong action sequences.

Well, it appears James Bond has finally caught up with the rest of the world. In GoldenEye we saw a female M, now we have a female sidekick/partner/whatever who can hold her own with that decadent spy from a Western country (it's from the movie). And...

Pros: It's James Bond...
Cons: ...and three million of his favorite brand names

The times may change and the actors may come and go, but James Bond is an international institution. Every time one of these movies comes out, people of all ages flock to see it and another nine-figure gross gets racked up, even if quality varies....

Pros: Action! Guns! Cars! Women!
Cons: Wily villain Pryce in a sort of dry plot

The shining, highly equipped BMW has been a trademark of the James Bond series. Loaded with missiles, locks, sparks and all kinds of cool devices, the car can provide entertainment to an audience on it’s lonesome. It is the scene in Tomorrow Never...

Pros: Brosnan Bond, Teri Hatcher, Jonathan Pryce, plot, Judi Dench, nice Q wizardry
Cons: some unbelievablity such as bond not being decapitated in the opening sequence

In a world that has grown up and grown past Ian Fleming's Secret Agent James Bonds action, suspense and comedy, I have found Tomorrow Never Dies to be one of, if the not the greatest Bond Film of the James Bond franchise.

This isn't comparing...

Pros: Pierce Brosnan, arguably one of the best Bonds...the usual great stunts and stunning beauties
Cons: The lamest plot of any Bond movie since Moonraker...A maniacal TV mogul...? Give me a break!!!

As a long-standing Bond fan (I've seen every movie in the Broccoli series and Never Say Never Again and I've read MOST of the books by both Fleming and Gardner) I tend to look forward with zeal any time a new Bond film release is announced. I won't wait...

Pros: Great action, Pierce Brosnan
Cons: Somewhat hokey.

I have to admit that I am not a long-standing Bond fan, so I'm not all that concerned about the series making it into the next millennium. I've only seen about 3 of the series and all of them were made in the '90s. However, if they keep making them like...

Pros: Great action, beautiful cars, beautiful women.
Cons: sometimes the story is not all that credible.

This movie is an action packed thriller, it has all the makings of a great action movie, beautiful women, and fast cars. James Bond, as we are already used to seeing him in past movies goes through all kinds of adventures in this heart raising,...
