A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is the second James Bond film by Pierce Brosnan. It firmly plants the 007 series in the modern milieu of non-stop action for mystery, adventure, crime, and assorted other genres of film. One can hardly catch his or her breath between the fast action scenarios. This film had some 50 shooting locations. Outside of three different studies in England, scenes were shot at several sites elsewhere in the U.K. Other filming took place in Florida of the U.S., France, Germany, Mexico, and Thailand.This film was the first to introduce Michele Yeoh (as Wai Lin) to international audiences. The true-life martial arts specialist and trained ballerina had been starring in Hong Kong films for more than a decade. Her recognition spread further in 2000 with her female lad in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Although she continued to appear in many martial arts action films, she also has had some dramatic roles. Among them were "Memoirs of a Geisha" in 2005 and "The Children of Huang Shi" in 2008. She is reportedly the only actress that Jackie Chan will allow to do her own stunts in his films. This also is the second 007 film in which a real Bond has a role. Samantha Bond (her real name as well as her stage name) plays Miss Moneypenny. Here are some favorite lines from this film. Q, "Grow up, double O seven." James Bond, to Paris Carver, "I always wondered how I'd feel if I ever saw you again." After she turns and slaps him, he says, "Now I know."Paris Carver, "Tell me, James. Do you still sleep with a gun under your pillow?"Wai Lin, "Exactly what kind of banking do you specialize in, Mr. Bond?" Bond, "Hostile take-overs."Henry Gupta, "I call it Gupta's Law of Creative Anomalies. If it sounds too good to be true, it always is."Wai Lin, "It's mostly dull routine, of course, but every now and then you get to sail on a beautiful evening like this and sometimes work with a decadent agent of a corrupt Western power." James Bond, "And they say the Communists don't know how to have fun."James Bond, "We're gonna finish this together. And if I may say so, you found the right decadent, corrupt Western agent as a partner."

Movie Review: "007: Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997)Actor Pierce Brosnan, reprising his elegantly portrayal in the role as James Bond in a much darker received "007" picture directed by Roger Spottiswoode, who together with magnificient atmospheric coverage by cinematographer Robert Elswit, deliver an future-establishing action movie for a more adult target audience.Producers Barbara Broccoli, first time presenting without her recently deceased father Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996) through the Eon Productions Ltd. banner, and Michael G. Wilson raise stakes with first Bond film providing a production budget over a hundred million U.S. dollar. The action scene are in terms of scale superior over "GoldenEye" (1995) with ranging from a Jetstream missiles shooting pre-title sequence, then Bond, in a rare commander uniform presence, before he base jumps from a in-flight gunship to dive for a sunken British destroyer and an accelerating skyscraper window-breaking escape sequence in exotic exterior Thailand locations, where "007" engages with Chinese spy Wai Lin, performed by highly physical-trained actress Michelle Yeoh. Together they must speed through Saigon city on a highlighted motorcycle chase, followed by vicious henchmen of the Carver Media Group, led by the character of Elliot Carver, playfully and outgoing portrayed by actor Jonathan Pryce, who did his homework by sharing one of the most memorable beats in "007" nemesis history in fabricating the News of the World for personal benefits.Composer David Arnold creates an epic score, which comes along with striking visuals, but then again are not given justice by an inbalanced editorial of 115 minutes that misses out in decisive beat work and leaves the audience at times completely lost, especially in the Hamburg Carver News launching occasion, within an unless initially-intriguing screenplay by Bruce Feirstein, which only partially succeeds to be full-bodied quality motion picture entertainment as to say a unique hyper-suspenseful thriller, which "Tomorrow Never Dies" could have been under a different direction by putting further focus on the relationship between the character of Paris Carver and James Bond and its World War 3 menacing consequences.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

My James Bond movie experience started long enough ago that Sean Connery will always be the definitive '007'. Regardless I still enjoy all the others too because the story and the character are bigger than one actor.Here Pierce Brosnan, in his 40s, is James Bond. His nemesis in this movie is Jonathan Pryce as Elliot Carver. He has a broadcasting empire but he wants world domination and that requires that he extend into China.His approach is to start a conflict, most likely WW3, by duping the Chinese into thinking they were being attacked by the West. His plan is to use his special "stealth" ship to launch a drilling torpedo that will cut through the hull of a warship and steal a nuclear weapon. Ultimately this weapon will be launched at China. Bond must sort out the plan and stop it.One hallmark of Bond movies is the various gadgets that he is provided with, plus a car that can do lots of things ordinary cars can't. He is joined by Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin, an accomplished fighter. One of my old favorites has a role, Teri Hatcher as trophy wife Paris Carver. Unfortunately she doesn't make it all the way to the conclusion.Entertaining movie.

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.
