Tomorrow Never Dies is the second outing for Pierce Brosnan as 007.This time around Bond has to prevent a Media Mogul from starting a war between Britain and China for ratings. As always Brosnan turns in an enjoyable performance, but Pierce will always be more Remington Steele than James Bond, and will never measure up to Sean Connery.
The story is simple and less believable than most of the 007 plots and that is saying something. Yet the film is helped along by many exceptional action sequences, such as the pre-titles scene, the remote control car and the motorbike chase through Saigon.
The villains are simple and one-dimensional as opposed to the previous more complicated Bond Villains.The Bond Girls in this picture (though not unattractive) are two of the worst characters in the franchise.
I have seen every single James Bond film and this is not up to the standard of the average 007 flick. Tomorrow Never Dies is more of an action film than a James Bond film, and the script would have been better used as the next XXX film.
If you are a fan of the series, do not put your hopes on this picture, but if you are a fan of fast,expensive, explosive action sequences this will not disappoint.
