Two years after Pierce Brosnan's first Bond film "Goldeneye", he returns for his second Bond outing in "Tomorrow Never Dies". Though not as sharp as Goldeneye, this Bond film is still strong and probably Brosnan's second best Bond film.
The story behind Tomorrow Never Dies actually felt somewhat original. Stories seemed to become a rehash lately of previous Bond films, all focusing too much on world domination and Russia always somehow being involved. An insane maniac known as Elliot Carter wishes for that similar world domination, but in a unique style. In successful attempts at pitting China against Britain in hopes of starting a third world war, Carter's secret attacks from his stealth ship enable him to write tomorrow's news today - and broadcast world wide along all forms of media. The clever and twisted results would give Carter fame and glory, as well as richness beyond belief, while watching the world tear itself apart around him. Technology has made a proufound impact in this Bond movie, between Carter's media and his stealth ship. The technology made this Bond film quite up to date, and felt fitting.
Tomorrow Never Dies has a decent list of charcaters. Brosnan seems like the same Bond since Goldeneye - not a tremendous performance, but complete none the less. Carter is an original villain with his clever ways, but still can't compare to some of the more famous classic Bond villains. Carter's henchman is a fine choice, having the look of another ex-KGB brute, and like past KGB villains, giving Bond an excellent final fight. The Bond girl - Michelle Yeoh - is actually my favorite Bond girl. She does just about as much as James to get the mission accomplished. And the best part is - she knows martial arts. If you are familiar with Michelle Yeoh, you may have seen her in Crouching Tiger or Jackie Chan's Supercop. She is no stranger to excellent martial arts, and gets a couple of great fights here.
The best part of this movie is a tremendous action scene that I love. It involves a motorcycle chase down the streets of Saigon. Both Bond and Wei (Yeoh) are handcuffed together on the bike, outrunning cars and a helicopter. They drive everywhere - on tops of building and through them. The best part of the chase is when the helicopter turns vertical, using its blades to tear up everything down the street. People are running while the chopper chases down the bike in the crowd. Its quite amazing to see a chopper in that position.
Overall, this is a great Bond film. Not the best, but one of the better. It won't go down with the classics, but it has some fun characters, an original story, and some great action to keep it very entertaining.
