Editorial Reviews

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 costars. 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 Honk 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. In addition to theatrical trailers, this special edition DVD comes with a feature-length audio commentary by director Roger Spottiswoode, more commentary by stunt director Vic Armstrong and producer Michael G. Wilson, a storyboard overlay that compares action-sequence concepts with final footage, a 45-minute "Secrets of 007" featurette covering the evolution of the Bond character, and an isolated music-only track with an interview of composer David Arnold. Bond would be proud.--Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars This Set contains a DIFFERENT Featurette than the DVD, February 12, 2002

By	hille2000 "hille2000" (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Tomorrow Never Dies (Limited Edition Gift Pack) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This review is for the TOMORROW NEVER DIES Limited Edition Gift Pack on VHS (ASIN: 079283965X). It is a 2-tape set. It contains the video "Highly Classified: the World of 007" hosted by the late Desmond Lewelin as Q as well as TOMORROW NEVER DIES in full-frame. This video is completely different from the "Secrets of 007" found on the TOMORROW NEVER DIES DVD! As far as I know this is the only place you can get this great featurette. "Highly Classified: the World of 007" (VHS) is a good complement to "Secrets of 007" (DVD). This set comes in a metallic colored box with a raised 007 logo and also contains a copy of the script and a set of stills. No matter what you think of TOMORROW NEVER DIES this is a great set just for all the extras. I happen to like TOMORROW NEVER DIES very much. I think it is one of the best films of the series and has been maligned because it went in a completely different direction from the popular GOLDENEYE. It takes the best of the Bond formula and adds a new dimension of realism that really enhances the confrontation between Bond and the villains. Bond is not the superman or comic hero in this film. Bond is flesh and blood and very vulnerable. There is a true sense of menace and danger in this film that takes it several notches higher than many of the other films in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars How DVDs should be made, February 29, 2000

By	"winterblink" (Canada) - See all my reviews

Tomorrow Never Dies is a strong film, with a great story and equally great acting. Bond returns with a new arsenal of gadgets and girls. Brosnan is right on the mark with this movie, and the addition of Michelle Yeoh as a Bond girl gets into the action along side him is a great addition. The soundtrack by David Arnold (ID4, Stargate) is exceptional, and creates an entirely new mood for the Bond series.

The DVD version of this movie is absolutely top notch. The video and audio quality is great, with sharp pictures and incredibly intense deep bass. And if you've ever bought a DVD and felt ripped off because there's no extras on it, have no fear -- Tomorrow Never Dies is packed full of commentaries, effects reels, gadget info, and more. Not to mention the fact that it sports one of the coolest fully animated interfaces I've seen yet for a DVD.

Buying this DVD is definitely money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best recent 007 films, February 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tomorrow Never Dies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am an avid 007 fan and I really enjoyed "Tomorrow Never Dies." I liked it better than "GoldenEye." Pierce Brosnan excels as Bond and he seems much more comfortable in the role. Michelle Yeoh makes this 007 entry even more exciting and interesting. As a Bondian heroine for the 90's, she seems every bit the equal of James Bond. Jonathan Pryce makes a great megalomaniac villain and Gotz Otto's Stamper reminds us of Red Grant from "From Russian With Love." The plot of the film is similar to "The Spy Who Loved Me." The pacing of the film is great and the actions sequences are well-done. I highly recommend this movie to 007 fans!
