Pierce Brosnan in all the glory of a secret agent breaks into the political games of three countries. Russia, China and the UK are getting involved in the dangerous plans of His Sparrow newspaper magnate Jonathan Price. The picture is full of action, classic 007 techniques, chase, fights and spy gadgets. Stealing missiles from submarines by villains looks silly in some places, but it is not yet clear how and why such an operation is necessary.
The villain’s plans are revealed immediately, the threat to world powers is also contiguous, and the genius, billionaire, playboy and non-Tony Stark, gathers the news and makes thunderous headlines. The first half of the film takes a long time. Kew introduces new spyware, supplies the agent with a new car (this time BMW) to demonstrate remote control.
Pierce Brosnan puts a certain framework for his hero - this is a superhero, on which no one can get even at close range, his gadgets have fantastic capabilities, and if the hero is captured, he is not killed immediately, but takes time for the agent to find a way to escape. This is the entertaining message of Bond.
To stop the villain - you need to at least meet with him, which gives the viewer the usual detective actions, seduce the women needed for the case and pull information. The thriller in all its glory demonstrates the bloody massacres, countless deaths and the constant attempts of Bond to catch the villain red-handed.
The second part of the timekeeping moves 007 agent to China, where a new woman, intelligence assistant, Chinese agent Michelle Yeoh demonstrates Chinese spying, which causes some interest and easy competition. Eighteenth Bond gives beautiful scenes of driving a car remotely (from the back seat), diving to the depth of the sea waters of Vietnam, dark and dangerous search for evidence and dynamic chases with shootings.
It's an action movie of its genre. This is a more modern approach to complex missions. It’s not Sean Connery’s classic calmness or Roger Moore’s rhythmic action – it’s Pierce Brosnan – James Bond of his time, when the prestige of a film was measured in beautiful explosions and powerful action scenes. But Brosnan's second film in a British agent costume gives us a one-day story. One villain - one plan to capture (destruction, submission, deception) the world - one outcome of such a plan.
Beautiful, powerful, impressive, versatile (in the air, on the ground, and under water), but not so large-scale and very stereotyped. There is no end-to-end villain like Blofeld and the SPECTRE organization as a whole, no shared mission for Agent Brosnan, which looms like a typical action movie. Good, but typical. You need either a confusing plot, or a hidden villain, or an open finale for the sequel.
The success of “Golden Eye” managed to prove that the viewer did not forget James Bond after a 6-year break and is ready to watch another adventure with him again. So with the creation of the next part of the bond did not particularly pull, and after 2 years came the film, which, in my opinion, became the best in the era of Pier Brosnan (and one of the best in the entire franchise) - "Tomorrow will never die".
Leaving Russia and the “Russian mafia” alone, the creators of Bond turned their attention to another topic, which made “Tomorrow Will Never Die” an action movie that remains relevant to this day. This topic was the influence of the media on people’s minds. Yes, if a film with a similar script were shot in the 2000s, or in our time, then of course there would be a bet on the Internet and Internet media. But even without this, the scale of manipulation of people’s minds by antagonists through newspapers, television and radio is impressive. And while the eccentric media mogul Eliot Carver (Jonathan Price) arranges provocations, pitting the UK against China, unleashing an information war in the media, the legendary 007 agent makes every effort not to start a real war between the countries. In the course will go ingenuity, agility and luck of Bond, as well as gadgets from the old Q (Desmond Llewelyn), including a miracle car controlled by a phone (yes, today it is unlikely to surprise, but in those years about it can only dream).
Contrary to the practice of fruitful cooperation between the studio and the same director, a new part of Bond was shot by a new director. It turned out to be Roger Spottiswood, who had previously staged Air America and Stop! Or my mother will shoot. In general, the film benefited from the directing experience of Spottiswood in action scenes. Because the action in the picture was in bulk.
If the previous time Brosnan was still looking at how to play Bond, then in his second picture he honed the skills of his agent 007 so much that he has already firmly established himself in the mind of the viewer, like Bond: an elegant, charming, slightly narcissistic agent of British intelligence, who is both serious and humorous.
It so happened that taking a course to create another part of the franchise once every 2 years, Broccoli and Wilson released another anniversary film (this time to the 35th anniversary of Bond). In addition, one of the founding fathers of on-screen Bond Albert Broccoli died shortly before the start of filming, and therefore Tomorrow Never Dies was officially dedicated to his memory. So we had to try not to spoil this picture - there was too much responsibility. And this time, the creators were pleasantly surprised, as if taking all the best from the previous films (not forgetting to fill the 18th part with references to the previous ones). Here is the second appearance (albeit in the episode) of CIA agent Jack Wade performed by John Don Baker (Golden Eye), and a strong blonde assistant to the antagonist (From Russia with Love, Sparks from the Eyes), and an Asian girl for Bond (You Only Live Twice), and a miracle machine in the service of 007 (Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me). Well, the villain himself with his theatrical antics is somewhat similar to Blofield and Max Zorin (“View to kill”), although inferior to them in charisma.
Partners of Pierce Brosnan, this time were Terry Hatcher (Paris Carver) and Michel Yeo (agent Wei Lin) - in my opinion, not the most successful passions for 007. But I pay tribute to Michelle Yeoh for moving and fighting well (it is no secret that this film was the first major Western film project in the filmography of the actress, who previously became famous for her work in Hong Kong cinema).
In the chair of the composer, David Arnold sat for the first time. And so fortunately that somehow immediately became the second permanent composer of Bond (after John Barry, of course). Capturing the breath of time, Arnold found a “middle ground” between the modern sound and the usual classical theme of Bond music. In addition, a separate praise deserves the song of Arnold, sung by Cheryl Crow (but to another with the same name from Catherine Don Lang I was more restrained). It's a pity that despite the Golden Globe and Grammy nominations, David Arnold never got anything back then. But for his debut in the franchise, the start was very good.
In general, the film turned out to be a worthy continuation of the saga about 007, which feels the spirit of the 90s with their abundance of shootings and explosions. If success is to be consolidated, it is only with such continuations as “Tomorrow will never die.”
10 out of 10
With the appearance of Pierce Brosnan as Agent 007, the franchise regained the kind of sexuality and gentlemanhood that James Bond had been played by Timothy Dalton, as well as Roger Moore in his latest films as an agent of Her British Majesty. Like Sir Sean Connery at the time and Roger Moore at the dawn of his Bond, Brosnan was perhaps the perfect candidate for the role.
Sharing his thoughts on previous films, he repeatedly noted that each new film in the James Bond series corresponds to the political mood and political situation in the world. “Tomorrow will never die” is no exception. At least this is clearly indicated by the beginning of the film, when the Russians and the British are conducting a joint operation to eliminate terrorists somewhere on the Russian border. It is not necessary to remind that in the 90s Russia was shaken by the war in Chechnya and on this topic, albeit somewhere casually, did not speak only lazy or dead. Yes, the same "Peacemaker" with Baluev, Kidman and Clooney remember!
At the same time, Tomorrow Never Dies is a very revealing film in terms of the development of new models of political games. We are talking about the information war, which Jonathan Price, the main antagonist of the film, tried so hard to foment. His character – media mogul Elliot Carver like no other knows what he wants and most importantly, what reserves to use. With a media empire at his disposal, he is trying to foment a world war through... newspapers. Yeah, yeah, newspapers. While terrorists are buying nuclear warheads and arming themselves to the teeth, he is methodically and faithfully pursuing the task. Artfully masquerading as the owner of “factories and steamships”, he turns out to be the main enemy of the unkillable and always stunning for the girls of James Bond.
Along with the new trends of world politics, Tomorrow Never Dies has a fresh look at the production of a number of scenes, mostly related to the showdown. As before, the main but invisible assistant of the bond is Agent Q, who supplies Agent 007 with a mass of spy lotions, always appearing in place. And in many ways, the development of action scenes depends on the announced elements from the arsenal of James Bond. However, in the case of “Tomorrow Never Dies,” one can also note the cool work of stuntmen in combination with stunt directors. What is the only helicopter hovering over people's heads, dissecting fruits and vegetables in the trays with blades, a motorcycle chase, during which Michel Yeo like a snake, writhing around the hero Brosnan, demonstrates not only his physical training, but also saturates the chase scene with even greater drive and entertainment. When her movement on a motorcycle from behind Bond in his arms takes place in motion, this episode gets even more dynamics, as well as riding a motorcycle on roofs and collapsing balconies.
It just so happens that at least two films from Bond in a row are dedicated to those without whom the franchise is difficult to imagine. In the case of “Tomorrow Never Dies” is the producer of 16 Bond films Albert Broccoli, and the next film – “The World Is Not Enough” was the last for the permanent agent Q played by Desmond Llewellin, who tragically died in a car accident in 1999. With the departure of these two people, the franchise has become somewhat orphaned, because both did a lot to ensure that, firstly, the series of James Bond films enjoyed such wide popularity, and secondly, remained extremely popular, even despite the year of the release of the very first films.
But look at you. I do not impose my opinion on anyone.
When rapid changes began to take place in world geopolitics, which provoked the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, to the surprise of millions of viewers around the planet, the invincible British special agent James Bond remained out of business, letting his colleagues in the workshop ahead and taking an unplanned but long and disturbing pause. The producers of Bond, previously with amazing stability released one film in several years, were unprepared for the rapid flow of events cutting into parts of the border, and the very controversial artistic and box office figures of films with Timothy Dalton, who replaced 007 agent Roger Moore, rejected the possibility of an early release of the next film of the series, whose concept for a long time could not be formed. However, in some cases, this or that franchise is in favor of respite, allowing the creators to put their nerves in order and indicate a further vector of development. Albert Broccoli had to spend six years on reasoning, negotiating and understanding the current situation, but thanks to his thorough judgment and the decision made, Bond still rose from oblivion, appearing before us even more brisk, energetic and cheerful under the guidance of director Martin Campbell, who showed the world the spectacular Golden Eye, in which Pierce Brosnan tried on the role of 007 agent. Realizing that it was no longer possible to test the paranoia of the Cold War, Campbell, writers and producers directly contributed to the plot of the fall of the Soviet Union, which ensured the opening of borders and the possibility of filming “Golden Eye” on the territory of the now Russian Federation. And although the picture did not avoid borrowing caricature images and logical stupidity, stretching from the time of “Doctor No”, “Golden Eye” showed the viewers a villain of a completely different formation, and James Bond finally saw that not only cartoon maniacs and universal criminals are ready to block his path. The world is changing, and in place with it and the shadow side, adjusting realities to their requirements. Campbell's revelations, reinforced by Pierce Brosnan's almost perfect play, delighted the public, which in turn meant that Broccoli's company necessarily continued work on the next picture, entitled "Tomorrow Never Dies."
So, after his unforgettable run through St. Petersburg, James Bond (Brosnan) continues to explore the borders of the federation and helps the now allied state to pulverize insolent terrorists who have taken possession of an entire military base. But the real problems for Bond, his home organization and the whole of England begin not in the snowy Russian mountains, but in the sea waters near China, where very tragic and frightening events are taking place. Having become a victim of a purposeful obsession, the British warship lost its way and found itself in the latitudes controlled by the Celestial Empire. The ship’s command refuses to admit its wrongness, since according to the instrument readings they are in neutral waters, but a cleverly played intrigue leads to a blow, as a result of which the ship goes to the bottom, and exclusive information about the incident instantly appears on the front pages of newspapers owned by media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Price). Incident. Barely putting the planet at risk of World War III, the British government has seriously stirred up, which in turn instructs MI6 to look into what is happening before another catastrophe with even greater consequences occurs. And of course, the prescient and uncompromising M (Judy Dench) sends James Bond on a mission, to whom the vacation is directly contraindicated. And since all the leads lead directly to Elliot Carver, the agent must get close to him and understand why a man with huge money and influence would organize a conflict that could take hundreds of thousands, if not millions of innocent lives.
The grand success of the Golden Eye allowed Albert Broccoli to regain his former power and without any problems spend fabulous sums on filming and invite exceptionally worthy directors to the director's chair. At the same time, the choice of producer fell on Roger Spottiswood, confidently advancing through the Hollywood career of the director, who, despite the ambiguously accepted action comedy Stop! Or my mother will shoot" remained a skilled master, exactly knowing. What is a competent story and a factory dynamic spectacle? Naturally, Spottiswood did not refuse the tempting offer and tried to surpass the achievements of his predecessor, although it was very difficult to do. Having received a really intriguing and promising scenario, the director focused on a careful staging of scenes of action, moving to a completely different level of development, and also carried out painstaking work on the formation of the cast, which was obliged to play along with Spottiswood and show that the world has become even more multifaceted than was shown in the same Golden Eye. And it can be safely noted that Spottiswood did not make a single serious mistake, presenting us to the court honed to the smallest spectacle, captivating and not allowing to exhale right before the end of a tense viewing.
The director was not joking when he promised us chases, shootouts and hand-to-hand fights, easily bypassing other achievements of Bond. What was only worth the scene of motorcycle racing and underwater shooting, during which the heart of the viewer freezes by itself. The visual and technical parts of “Tomorrow Never Dies” fully justify the extensive financial costs of Albert Broccoli, but it is still necessary to recognize that the tape of Spottiswood also has other equally impressive advantages led by Pierce Brosnan in the image of James Bond. Having shown himself in all dramatic glory already on the set of Martin Campbell, Brosnan strengthened his status and showed that in this time period, an elegant tuxedo and a neatly hidden gun go to him much better than other competitors who lost the fight for a role in a fair fight. But if Brosnan did not cause any doubts about his participation, then the main villain and girls diluting the highest levels of testosterone were a pleasant surprise for us. Confident and knowledgeable Jonathan Price, who conquered many theatrical scenes, appeared before us may not be the most impressive, but a smart and calculating villain who thinks a few steps ahead and does not strive for stereotypical world domination. Its goals are more prosaic and fit perfectly into capitalist realities, devoid of a significant socialist threat that collapsed in 1991. His place in the picture rightfully took the beauty Teri Hatcher, seduced men with her chic forms, demonstrated on camera from an alluring angle. And yet even such a sultry woman had to make room next to the combat Wai Lin performed by Michelle Yeo, who managed to become a worthy partner for James Bond and a lady who is surprisingly in no hurry to go with 007 agent on a pastel adventure.
“Tomorrow Never Dies” is one of the best Bond films of the era of Pierce Brosnan and simply a fascinating spectacle for all time.

“Tomorrow Never Dies” (United Kingdom, 1997) Newspapers, headlines, a poignant media mogul's pen, Brosnan's second attack, Q's combat set, adventures in Asia, dizzying stunts and a powerful song...
"Honey, you won, "
It's not funny.
"Martini", girls, gun -
It's death for our love.
You're putting your life on the line.
Every night,
Racing for the morning light away.
You are not the only spy in the world.
A powerful song... Desperate, hopeless, mysterious lady of Mr. Bond (let it be the singer who performed it – Cheryl Crow), who wants her beloved spy to return in the morning alive. She has no right to dream more than that. That's her share... Yep.
Good morning!
Sweet. Alex Sweett. Pineapple juice, in a transparent glass, without ice and without vodka (for the first time). But with a thick straw. Thank you...
Continuing my unusual project about the 100 best films of all time, I got to the official Bond, and now select 3-5 films in my list. Knowing all these tapes for decades (except for the last, of course), it was not difficult to choose the best. Uh, so I thought. Without waiting for a trick from proven stories, I began to face what is called “not passed over the loss of trust and time.” Like, years go by, we change, taste changes, and the past can not be returned. It happened here. It was a bit hurtful and surprising, but you won't be violently nice. And a proud ship called the Bondiana changed its course slightly. Thank goodness I didn’t go down...
“Tomorrow Never Dies” was never on my best list. And I never wrote about it. But! I always gave him a solid 8 (all the years I watched him). They say that it does not reach a higher level, but not bad. But a few hours ago, after the last viewing, could not resist, put the highest score, recorded 3-5 Bond tapes in his list and sat down at the table to print a review, still under a very strong impression.
Top score! Think of it! And this is after it is clearly clear that this is no longer a film about spies, but an action movie. Militant of the mid-90s!.
Fighter? Yeah, action. But what! Stylish, well-coordinated, powerful and crazy!! Maybe that’s what I needed right now!
I do not remember that when watching previous tapes, during a fight with the main henchman of the villain, I wanted to shout: “Give him!” Hit him! And then shouted (the assistant, by the way, is stupid and inexperienced, but charismatic, actor: Goetz Otto). Also, I was calm about many of the villains of the series (Bondian can be called a series), and the current media mogul Elliot Carver (actor Jonathan Price) could not take his eyes off. I listened to him very carefully.
“The difference between madness and genius is measured only by success.”
I think it's all the fault of a field close to me, journalism. Although I have an amateur, in the past I was a little involved with city professional publishers, free social circles and wall newspapers at school to say that. And despite the fact that since 2012, I have only written on five topics: cinema, sports, music, foreign languages, travel, I was able to assess the power of the pen, the scale and pitch with which the media mogul administered his own justice, to please himself, the rating and the frenzied popularity of his newspapers, the main of which was “Tomorrow”.
Tomorrow newspaper. By the way, having a direct relation to the title of the film, emphasizing the main theme of the 18th story about James Bond. A story that can no longer be counted among the novels of the English writer, journalist and naval intelligence officer Ian Fleming, since this is already a pure script by guest Bruce Verstein. Script... But what! (Bravo, Bruce) Great job! . . .
The director of the film, Canadian Roger Stotttiswood - we know from several medium-sized films of the 90s (Air America, Turner and Hooch and a number of others). And since this name was not listed among the great masters of cinema, I dare assume that Tomorrow Never Dies is his most successful film. Suppose ...
Chief composer David Arnold liked the fact that the main musical theme of the whole Bond, now acquired speed, dynamism, passion and excitement. And this is a good move in improving the old tune of John Barry.
The ladies in this series were nothing. I felt sorry for one of them. Namely: the wife of media mogul Carver - Paris Carver (actress: Teri Hatcher). She brought to the film a touch of drama, genuine passion and even, as I thought, perfectly fits the title song “Tomorrow never dies”, saying the main phrase that, they say, the work of a secret agent is harmful to real relationships.
About the Malaysian actress Michelle Yeo (in the film she is Wei Lin) to speak. The audience could see her repeatedly in the films of Jackie Chan, Jet Lee and historical films. He fights big. I used to dream of becoming a prima ballerina. But a spinal injury overturned her dream, making her a model, actress, and Asian action star. As the main lady of Bond - not bad. With character and fire in his eyes. Not my type, but I understand James.
And by the way, about him! The most important factor that allowed me to give the film the highest score is the brilliant performance of Pierce Brosnan!!! He was fast, cool, agile, insanely charismatic, beautiful and irresistible! I used words! Not in the eyebrow, but in the eye!
“Mr. Bond, we will cause you the greatest pain by delaying the moment of death.”
Watching your broadcasts is the worst of torture.
And the media mogul was hurt. After all, as a professional in his field, he could not fail to appreciate the wit of the enemy.
“Print all sorts of filth here,” said Bond, throwing the enemy from a height on the tape of the printing press, noticing how he tore the newspapers, thereby disrupting the work of the conveyor.
And tricks? His behavior in captivity? No, there's still a Bond to look for. Brosnan is really cool!!
About high-tech things Kew (actor: Desmond Llewellin) will say more the film itself.
Ask Bond how his car opens. We can't open it!
And they smacked and snatched at him. And gunshots. And the car, at least...
Yeah, that's chic... I haven’t experienced this in a long time.
Well, comparing all the facts (all, even the minuses!), I could not put less and not include this film in my list of 3-5 Bond films. Especially since I haven’t written about it yet.

And:
"It's so murderous, my dear, "
The power that keeps you close to me
Until that day,
When the world collapses,
Before you tell me there will be no more goodbyes,
I'll see in your eyes.
That tomorrow will never die!!!
The next part of the never-ending Bond movie is primarily entertaining, and it is with this that Tomorrow will never die that there are certain problems. The authors clearly focused on special effects and action scenes, but unfortunately they are the ones that become obsolete the fastest. Because of this, most of the moments that amazed the imagination of the audience at the time of the release on the screens now simply does not work.
The plot traditionally makes no sense for the franchise, and in principle does not differ much from the story told in half of the Bond films. The villain, in keeping with the spirit of the nineties, is a media mogul who certainly wanted to start a war. Why the war is between the UK and China, the film will not explain, probably, the larger the countries involved in the conflict, the higher his status as a villain.
Pierce Brosnan in my opinion here looks much more convincing in his image. Jonathan Price has an interesting villain, and even very charismatic. But Michelle Yeoh who played another combat girlfriend Bond was absolutely unconvincing in her image.
I thought the film was kind of gray and ordinary, it seems that everything is good, but memorable moments are completely absent.

" The difference between madness and genius can only be measured by success.
After six years of obstinate silence, when everyone already considered James Bond a relic of the past, agent 007 with a noise returned to the screen, grossing in the world box office more than 360 million dollars! Realizing that Golden Eye’s commercial performance was not accidental, Albert Broccoli’s successful “reboot” franchise heirs realized that Bondiana had experienced a revival and could be continued. True, the legendary producer of the film adaptations of the book series Ian Flaming died, in fact having no relation to the new "Bond" (his name as a "consultant" was indicated in the credits as a respect, and in the next picture they honored his bright memory with a direct dedication) - his daughter Barbara Broccoli was in charge of production affairs. Who is the producer of “Bondiana” to this day, and is currently negotiating the next “restart” of the cult franchise. Then come on, in 1995 – the return of James Bond was a big event, especially for the Russian audience – as the lion’s part of the plot of the new blockbuster unfolded in St. Petersburg! Consolidating the success of the “rebut” with income from the sale of the film on video, the film studios “United Artists” and “Metro – Goldwin – Mayer” financed the creation of the next Bond film, which received a beautiful romantic title – “Tomorrow Never Dies”.
The plot revolved around the aggravated Chinese-British relations, which could easily escalate into a full-scale, nuclear war. The thing is that the American newspaper magnate Elliot Carver, handing billions of dollars, prefers the news not to recognize, but to create. It was he who organized a complex operation to sabotage British-Chinese relations, when he staged the alleged flooding of the British military battleship by Chinese fighters, confusing both with the help of a space satellite and high computer technologies. The Chinese Air Force border guards were convinced that the British warship had crossed territorial waters, and the sailors on the ship thought they were following the right course. In addition, Carver's mercenaries blew up Chinese planes, and the surviving English sailors were ruthlessly shot with Chinese weapons. Provided him by the local General Cheng - paid by the newspaper magnate, who promised after the outbreak of hostilities between the two powers, the General the place of the Supreme commander, who once in power will end the war and even receive the Nobel Peace Prize. British intelligence has found itself in a difficult position, as the military is pressing the government to send an armada of the navy to the Chinese border. Agent 007, sent on a secret mission, as usual, has a set of high-tech gadgets, a license to kill and only two days to prevent a global catastrophe. In the course of the combat mission, James Bond comes face to face with a slippery tycoon, who recently plans to launch a space satellite that provides him with round-the-clock broadcasts around the globe. And the beginning of the Sino-British war, he intends to use for advertising purposes, attracting the attention of viewers hungry for details of this conflict. Help to a secret agent - a loner unexpectedly comes in the face of a very brisk operative from China - Wei Lin, as well as from Carver's wife - Terry, with whom Bond once had a fleeting affair.
So rich in action and rapid in terms of successive events, the plot was invented by the screenwriter of the previous film of the series - Bruce Ferstein. Who dispenses with the excessive seriousness so noticeable in modern paintings with Daniel Craig, was able to find a middle ground between a dramatic narrative, interspersed with spectacular and exciting action and the necessary humor of such a film. The threat of the outbreak of the Third World War is a serious danger, preventing which Her Majesty’s agent exhibits extraordinary survivability, confirming more than once or twice his future phrase that his hobby is to resurrect. The fact that he deftly walks away from the chase, aptly shoots and charms the girls is just an acceptable and even with irony expected by the audience “admission”. Which ultimately ensures all the interest in "Bondiana", which would not have lasted more than half a century if it was a true drama about the life and work of residents behind enemy lines.
The film was directed by the famous director of action films Roger Spottiswood, who always managed fascinating action - pictures not devoid of humor ("Under the Fire", "Turner and Hooch", "Stop! That is not what my mother will shoot! Here, too, his abilities came in handy, turning a cool original script (Fleming’s books had already run out) into a cool and fascinating blockbuster. The operator was hired by Robert Elsweet ("Rocking Cradle Hand", "Wild River", "Dangerous Woman", etc.) - previously had experience in the shooting of a large-scale Hollywood movie and able to competently present the viewer with a difficult - staged action. With which the 18th Bond adventure film will surprise and delight even the most sophisticated moviegoers! Recall at least a scene in which Bond and Lin are followed by a combat helicopter racing on a motorcycle, and those who perform a complex cascade of tricks - at one moment even fly over the screws of the "rotor", safely landing on the roof of a neighboring building! And the tape opens with no less spectacular stir at a Russian military base, when James Bond tries to hijack a fighter with nuclear warheads, so that they do not detonate at the moment of explosion, which should occur any minute.
On the traditional credits in the prologue of the picture, a specially written song “Tomorrow Never Dies” sounds (later became a hit and even nominated for the Golden Globe) performed by Cheryl Crow, and the composer was David Arnold. Bond played liked by the viewer in the “Golden Eye” blue-eyed handsome – brunette Pierce Brosnan – has finally settled in the legendary image. Among other performers in the film starred: Michelle Yeoh (Wei Lin), Jonathan Price (Elliot Carver), Desmond Lewellyn (Qu), Judy Dench (M), Terry Hattcher (Carver's wife - Paris), Goetz Otto (Carver's bodyguard - Stamper) and Joe Don Baker (CIA agent Jack). Summing up, we can say that from the “star” of Hong Kong militants Michelle Yo came out an excellent “James Bond girl”, able to stand up for herself, having no less spectacular set of all sorts of gadgets and besides quite sexy. And as always exuding charm, Jonathan Price played an intelligent and seemingly soft villain, who expressed in the course of the case the basic principle according to which the world media exists without conscience: “Good news is bad news.” Released in the summer of 1997, "Tomorrow Never Dies" grossed more than $370 million - not only covering a huge $110 million budget for production and advertising, but also bringing a solid profit.
For many Bond fans, the first movie seen in the series will be a kind of “starting point”, a benchmark against which he will compare all the other films as he watches, worse or better than that cherished first film. And, of course, everyone has their favorite actor who plays James Bond.
At least I did. Out of all 24 British Spy films, I’ve seen 16, rated all the leading actors, but now, once again reviewing Tomorrow Never Dies, I’m convinced again – this is definitely my favorite Bond movie!
Especially because it was the first one I saw. It was almost 20 years ago when this movie was just released, even though it was only available to me on cassette. How many times have I reviewed it I will not even count.
How do you describe the James Bond movie? Perhaps every picture has a certain set of things that need to be illuminated. Let me start with the credits, which from film to film do not cease to amaze. The names and positions of all those responsible for creating people flash before your eyes to the magnificent song of Cheryl Crow. In general, in terms of the soundtrack, Bondian cannot be reproached, no film. Yes, somewhere there are weaker songs, somewhere stronger, and there are masterpieces. Tomorrow never dies refers to the latter, along with "The whole world is not enough", as well as "Skyfol".
Bond gadgets are generally a separate topic. It’s an impressive but at the same time the weakest part of the film. At the beginning of each mission, 007 is given a set of different technical tricks that are designed to help the host fight evil. But it is so funny that the agent gets into situations where he needs just such a set of gadgets. It was like the script was written for them. But it’s an integral part of the franchise, so it’s worth treating it with understanding and irony, because that’s why we love 007, and that’s what sets him apart from Jason Bourne. The car on the radio is just a decoration of the movie!
Bond girls. It so happens that as a rule, one of the women who meets the agent disappears by the middle of the film, or becomes one of the antagonists, and the second goes to the very end. In "Tomorrow Never Dies" with Bond, Teri Hatcher and Meshel Yeo appeared on the same screen. In general, I want to say that this film is in my opinion the most lyrical and romantic of all I saw. The drama of Bond and the wife of the main villain, the most beautiful final scene under water, the magnificent music of David Arnold are the decoration of every viewing of this film. That's where it really comes from!
Bond enemy. With whom only 007 has not fought in its entire history. And here the villain was a media mogul, unleashing a war for airtime. It was brilliantly played by Jonathan Price. I’ve seen him in several films, but I think the role of Eliott Carver is the best. And I also consider the dessonage the best villain of Bond.
Well, Bond himself, or rather Pierce Brosnan. As I said at the beginning, the first movie you see is a benchmark, and so is the actor. Pearce's predecessors were very peculiar, but, for the most part, they brought a smile. And the franchise itself at some point was more comedic in nature. With the arrival of Daniel Craig, movies became more brutal and brutal, even too much. But Pierce Brosnan was moderately serious and moderately cheerful, which in my opinion on the screen looks more natural than the eternal smile of Sean Connery and the eternally frowning eyebrows of Craig. So again, Pierce Brosnan is the best Bond for me.
Probably the franchise about James Bond will be on the screen for a very long time, because interest in it is only growing. Actors, directors, songs, gadgets will change, but the character itself is eternal, so the title of the film “Tomorrow Never Dies” perfectly describes the entire Bond universe.
I highly recommend this film to fans of the franchise and ordinary viewers too. If you want to get acquainted with the franchise, or at least watch one or two films, just to understand what it is, then Tomorrow Never Dies is the best choice!
Good news, James Bond will return!

About how James Bond crossed his axe with the pen of Elliot Carver.
Number eighteen was assigned to James Bond in 1997. His target was Elliot Carver, a media mogul who writes his history of the world through the press. The psychopath conceived a war between England and China for the sake of "War between England and China" in his newspaper "Tomorrow". Only the British side can prevent this, with the help of one person.
Roger Spottiswood, who replaced Martin Campbell as director, has a sharp taste for action. The opening scene with the flight of fighters looks great, Bond on a radio-controlled BMW, racing from a helicopter on a motorcycle, and the final is very worthy. Excellent special effects and camera work make the visual range one of the best in Bond. The story itself with the crazy newsmaker is quite non-trivial, although in general, this film is a little short of the Golden Eye.
In the time of the freshly formed team Brosnan-Dench-Bond and Q (well, almost freshly built), Jonathan Price plays magnificently. His Elliot Carver is a global disinformant and one of Bond’s most disgusting geniuses. As for the women’s team, this can not be said. Michelle Yeoh and Teri Hatcher received not very interesting and attractive heroines. The Danish teacher from the beginning of the tape with their roles coped much better, within a couple of minutes.
Cheryl Crow performed a rather beautiful song “Tomorrow never dies”, sounding against the background of the most beautiful screensaver of Bond. An interesting idea with translucent guns and female microchips.
“Tomorrow will never die” as a sequel, slightly inferior to the “Golden Eye” in terms of art, surpassing it in terms of technical. Among the distinguishing advantages are high-quality action scenes and an interesting villain.
There is a potential conflict between the two superpowers. A British Navy vessel sinks mysteriously and its crew is found dead with Chinese-made bullets. James Bond will face the almost impossible - to stop another attempt to organize the 3rd world war by distributing the yellow press.
In the eighteenth film, the creators once again move away from “cranberry”, and return to the old favorite theme – brewing a new world war. How many times have we seen this in Bond? Probably 5 times exactly, and in all cases the villains tried to achieve this in different ways (but the best of all, of course, was the method of Blofeld), and therefore the question arises: did the creators run out of ideas? Can't they invent a new motive for the villains? Could you do what Goldfinger did, destroy everything but your stockpile, and get rich with it? Much better than watching the generals bite their nails and threaten other countries in retaliation.
However, this time the writers took a more interesting approach to this through newspaper headlines. The idea is good, quite sustained, and the villain at the same time looks like a real fanatic of his business. And for our time, this is a very popular topic: are we being lied to by the media or not? We will never know the answer.
Otherwise, the film deservedly falls into the category of “typical Bond”: a cool, invincible hero who always gets out of the traps of villains through his “devices”, incredible chases, pathos, explosion. In general, the structure is the same Bond, which has both pros and cons in this field.
Of the disadvantages, I would note the originality of the creators. For example, we've seen a motorcycle race through the streets of Vietnam, and even though it's shown, it still feels like we've seen it before. Villains who always push pathetic speech before Bond can kill everyone, and whenever the villain finds Bond (or rather, he is brought to him), he always pushes the speech, and always Bond is saved. Does the evil man not learn from his own mistakes, and therefore he constantly steps on the same rake?
And yet there's more to it. The main plus: Chasing Bond through an underground car park by controlling the car with a mobile phone. It looks very exciting and unusual, except that in such a situation very sorry car. Other moments also look great, quite interesting. The shootout is a bit small compared to the first film, but otherwise it hasn’t changed. Bond also shoots accurately at enemies, they only fall into the floor. Explosions and other things remained in place.
Brosnan is still good in the role of an elusive British agent who manages to spy and pretend to be Rambo, too. He didn’t forget to joke, but in the last film his jokes were funnier. And, by the way, in this part, Bond has a new gun - Walter P99, a great replacement for the beloved viewer of PPK. Michelle Yeoh looked very good as another Bond friend.
"Tomorrow will never die" - Bond, which nothing original, except the ideas of the chase, can provide nothing. But, nevertheless, this movie is still interesting to watch, especially if you do not think about the actions taking place on the screen. Why else would you want to watch Bondiana?

A year before the release of the second film with the participation of Pierce Brosnan in the image of 007 agent James Bond died Albert R. Broccoli. It is with him that the emergence and development of the famous “bondiana”, which has become one of the most recognizable film franchises in the history of cinema, is associated. The reins of management and this heavy burden was taken over by the daughter of producer Barbara Broccoli, who hitherto performed the functions of an associate producer, but starting with the Golden Eye and the invitation of Pierce Brosnan, her era began.
And already in the series “Tomorrow Will Never Die” all the expectations of a new generation of Bond fans were confirmed: the paintings became a real spectacle, entertaining, technically equipped, visually bright, with many colorful action moments. Yes, they were before that, but now they have become much more spectacular, heated by computer equipment. Now the definition of "blockbuster" invariably accompanies each new episode of the spy epic, and "Tomorrow Never Dies" became the film event of the year, pre-announced and subsequently confirmed hit. If you need to make a spectacle, the costs increased in “Tomorrow will never die” Barbara Broccoli’s colleagues invested a whopping $110 million at the time, paying off more than three times in the world box office. Maybe they expected more, but the profit is not bad, you agree.
Jonathan Price was chosen for the role of James Bond’s new rival. This favorite of Terry Gilliam, which is Price, not the first time played a scoundrel, but in "Tomorrow Will Never Die" he played him so inspired that overnight he stood on the same pedestal with the best enemies of the best spy of all time and peoples, making there to make room for Gert Froebe (" Goldfinger, his hero just Auric Goldfinger), Richard Keele ("The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moon Rider", squered by the nickname of Christopher, murder). Price's character is a very rich media mogul. In the dark corners of his brain, a brilliant but sinister plan was born to enslave humanity and establish world domination led by his beloved. It seems to be nothing new - James Bond has already famously coped with such opponents with a dozen times, but Jonathan Price was able to surprise, was able to create a strong, memorable image of the antagonist, which always adds points to a positive piggy bank for cinema.
Interestingly, the new director was Roger Spottiswood, who was more remembered by the viewer for his comedy action films (" Turner and Hooch (1989), Air America (1990), Stop! Or My Mother Will Shoot (1992) All the humour in the Bondiana cycle of the Brosnanian period lies in his brief but capacious phrases, there is no place where Spottiswood can swing around doing what he knows how to do best. But Spottiswood under some preliminary doubts coped with the work to high praise. The picture has a proper aura, action scenes with all computer bells and whistles visually take a balanced approach: there are no strong fluctuations in the direction of computer graphics, everything is quite balanced. Otherwise, turning into a “popcorn-movie” would not take long to wait and the loss of some part of the audience as well. One small nuance - for all the entertainment of the film, the plot falls out somewhat, but there is Pierce Brosnan, which makes any dialogue elegant, streamlined, sweet, especially for a woman's ear. In principle, this is one of the mandatory features for James Bond.
And yet, if you compare the first two films with Pierce Brosnan in the title role – “Golden Eye” and “Tomorrow Will Never Die” – then, taking the Bond girls, “Golden Eye” wins. But wins in the external data of the girls, because Michelle Yeo looked more like an employee of the special services, and not the future passion of Bond. Superspy's lovers always looked like 90-60-90 models, and here's a strong woman. She's sexy, yes, but her sexuality was expressed in dynamic pieces of action, like, say, a motorcycle fire in handcuffs. Well, these ladies should have been caught in the way of James Bond. But did not leave the sexuality of the series only on Yeo, Teri Hatcher successfully fit into the openwork appearance of the film, giving pleasure to fans of elegant and passionate ladies.
"Tomorrow Will Never Die" is a worthy film of the entire period of "Bondiana"; there is an action movie, there is a detective, there is even drama, and most importantly, the charisma has not gone anywhere, but only played with new colors from the main character, for which it is worth thanking Pierce Brosnan. And a separate plus for the title of the picture - philosophical and catchy, as well as the following: "And the whole world is not enough" and "Die, but not now."

"Tomorrow Never Dies" is another film about the famous 007 agent James Bond. This movie turned out to be an interesting, rich story with decent shooting, great actors and an impressive ending. Even those who don’t like movies might like it. After all, this action film is large and beautiful.
We see another story in which Bond deals with the bad guys, and in this part we see the reunion of two super agents from Britain and China. We see their dangerous task with many fights, chases, chic shootings and unexpected secrets. Pierce Brosnan was perfect for the role of Bond, and this is undoubtedly one of his best roles. In this part he played decently, and I think the female half of the audience will be delighted with some scenes with this actor. Michelle Yeoh is a talented, Chinese actress, and I noticed her a long time ago. She's always a clear fit for roles where you have to fight and do it impressively. The duet of these actors was interesting. In small roles, it was nice to see Judy Dench and Terry Hatcher. This film is a good and high-quality action movie for fans of the adventures of 007. Watch "Tomorrow Never Dies" and you get into the incredible life of James Bond, in which every day is a new assignment, new travel, countries, acquaintances, weapons, women and British intelligence.
Among the films about 007, this tape is one of my favorites, it is perhaps the best film with Pierce Brosnan, and one of the best in the entire film cycle. And despite the fact that the film refers to the later James Bond films, it absorbed all the best that was in the old Bond, which gives the impression that Cubby Broccoli himself put his hand to the tape, who has already died and the tape is dedicated to him. There is nothing superfluous, it is both modern and old-fashioned, and even now it looks relevant and fresh. And there is something to see, there is an interesting plot, and a bunch of dizzying tricks, great humor and jokes, and high-quality action. Even the abundance of gadgets does not look stupid overkill, there are many of them, but they are all in the subject.
The whole cast is good, especially the brilliant and believable villain media mogul Eliott Carver, in addition, his henchmen Stamper and Dr. Kaufman are good, not to mention the female and sexy Bond Paris, and the Chinese agent Wei Lin, who is even cooler than 007 in something. Pierce Brosnan is also great, he has finally got used to the image, he has perfectly worked out his style, and in fact it was in this film that he found the right approach to his interpretation of James Bond. The director Roger Spottiswood also did a great job, who managed to shoot this film and limited himself to a small timekeeping by the standards of Bond, correctly distributing all the ingredients of the film, that he looks in one breath from beginning to end.
In the film, there were many innovations, firstly, 007 himself changed his style, he now wears a suit from Briony, he has a new model of Omega watches, and it is in this tape that Bond will appear with Walter P99, instead of the usual PPK, he drives the good old Aston Martin DBS, and on the task he gets a BMW 750iL, a chase scene on which one of the best auto scenes in the series, although in the film itself she will have to compete with a lot of no less inventive and spectacular action scenes.
In short, everyone should watch this movie. For me personally, this tape is one hundred percent Cinema with a capital letter.
We can safely say that the relaunch of Bondina in a new format of a large-scale spectacle and a huge budget really fell to the viewer’s taste. Since after the resounding success of the Golden Eye, the relay in terms of directing was effectively intercepted by Roger Spottiswood.
Despite the fact that for all his career, Roger Spottiswood managed to work with a huge number of talented actors, he did not become a really famous director with high-profile projects, and especially this film became the last worthy work of the director, who has long been called the “dark horse” by many. Hollywood.
If you do not know that after “Golden Eye” another director took over the direction, you might think that both films were shot by one director. Since the previous film, this tape, both performed on almost the same level and represent on the screen a classic spectacle in the best traditions of the Bond series.
The whole film is woven of numerous chases, fights, shootings, destruction and explosions with a spectacle of a different kind that looks very exciting. Especially magnificent chase of the main characters on a motorcycle from the ubiquitous helicopter. All this is simply stunning and represents something much more than just a spectacular action movie.
Perhaps the film is devoid of any sharpness, which was so liked in the previous tape, but certainly inherent in the series color and gloss film did not lose. Thus, creating an image of a truly fascinating spectacle throughout the tape.
Naturally, largely due to the magnificent game of Pier Brosnan, which once again proved the feasibility of the title of “the best Bond since Sean Connery, and maybe even better than himself.” Jonathan Pry played absolutely not a typical villain for Bondina, but played him brightly and charismatically. Michelle Yeoh became not only the perfect Bond girl, but also literally embodied the ideal image of his combat girlfriend on the screen. Terie Hatcher Although not for long, but still shone with her charming and fatal beauty on the screen.
Just as Pierce Brosnan was perfect for James Bond, the newfound composer David Arnold became perhaps the most ideal composer for the subsequent Bond parts. It was here that he proved this to the fullest and created a truly dynamic spy music that not only breathed new life into the previously created John Barry cult musical theme of the series, but also perfectly complemented the events taking place on the screen with decent music.

Tomorrow will never die – this is a worthy continuation of Bondiana. Spectacular, exciting, dynamic, light and high enough to willingly watch it again and again.
Bondiana is long-lived. And this can be explained by several sad examples: during its creation, several key figures involved in its creation have already managed to leave the world, while the series did not even think to bend. And now, after Bernard Lee and Maurice Binder, Bondiana lost one of her most significant creators - producer Albert "Cubby" Broccoli. His memory is dedicated to this film.
He talks about the evil deeds of the media mogul Elliot Carver, who intends to provoke a war between Great Britain and China, thereby gaining exclusive broadcasting rights in the latter for 50 years ahead. Well, Bond... Why else would you want Bond? Of course, in order to stop him. It will help him in this scout DPRK Wei Lin.
I must say that in terms of new faces, the series did not particularly please me. Carver, created clearly under the influence of the theme of the omnipotence of the media, well played by Jonathan Price and personifies the power of words rather than physical (meaning opponents of Bond with bombs, warheads, etc.), however, and blow up no fool, but nevertheless this type did not seem interesting to me. Not bad, nothing more. Much more attracted my attention were his assistants Stamper, played by Goetz Otto, and Dr. Kaufman, played by Vincent Schiavelli. Michelle Yeo as Wei Lin is a good boy bab, but a little out of my taste.
But the old guard is just that. Self-confident and firm Brosnan once again earns his fee with dignity and carries the banner of James Bond with honor. Well, no doubt about it. Good old Desmond Lewelyn and Joe Don Baker in the roles, respectively, Q and Jack Wade are the keepers of a healthy dose of humor. Judy Dench is good again, but not the level Bernard Lee had. After all. But a little remembered Samantha Bond as Moneypenny. For some time, and all because she was given a little more attention.
Special effects and sound design at the level. There are a lot of spectacular scenes, but some of them really hit the realism. Narimer, a BMW 750 Bond, which, in addition to the already pretty arsenal, is equipped with - think only - a cutter of strained cables, hidden in a badge on the hood. How did the designers know that this is what Bond would need during the next task? But the opening scene at the airfield, hand-to-hand and a trip on a BMW motorcycle (somehow imperceptibly the creators of Bond moved from the British car industry to the German one), well, to the heap plus the final showdown on the Carver ship - these moments are good. With flaws, but still.
Composer David Arnold worked well, but mainly due to the already popular melody of Norman, served in different versions. There are also reworkings of the title song performed by Cheryl Crow, but the composition of this I do not remember at all (minus the transition of Bond in the nineties - unforgettable such songs, although it can be a matter of taste, because I am a fan of the music of the seventies and eighties). But the opening credits of Daniel Kleinman with X-rays and metal girls once again confirm that the design of the credits was given in the right hands.
"Tomorrow Never Dies" is a good movie, and it's a shame. Because I wanted something really epic, and I had to settle for just "not bad." A strong roll of realism and not very memorable vicissitudes, coupled with an outstanding villain, make this series of Bonds a worthy, but purely one-time entertainment. But still the picture is fascinating and easy to look, and this is good.

Satellites, newspapers, television, the Internet are all sources of information or misinformation. This is what the creators of the eighteenth Bond picture give thought to. The current idea that is being developed in this tape cannot but interest. Bond tries in every possible way to prevent a military conflict, not forgetting to drink the famous cocktail and put in bed different beauties.
The gunman, chained to the screen so that nothing more and do not need for two hours Roger Spotiswood and failed to create. Bond humor seems to be and action is present, but somehow everything is dull. Not exciting.
Pierce Brosnan tried his best, but he did not save the film from not being called a passing one.
What about the Bond girls? Michelle Yeoh and Terry Hatcher didn't even pull on "furniture."
The special effects shown in the tape pleased more. You can't argue, but there were no scenes that just made you feel empathy. So, food for the eyes.
Remember how Bond stormed a mountain monastery in “For Your Eyes Only”, where there are minimal effects, but not come off. It's really sad here. There is an action and at the same time there is no action.
Soundtrack. David Arnold, then copies Eric Siera, inserting synthesizers, then tries to imitate the work of John Barry in the first tapes.
Summing up, I would add that it turned out to be an ordinary pass action movie, which, if it were not part of Bond, would hardly deserve what I put him. A scene from the series: "I looked and forgot"

You know all the jokes about Batman having gadgets for every occasion? In The Simpsons, he had a moderator for carousels. Now, there was a saw in a BMW Bond that you couldn't cut a person or anything that would require a car to divide, but it was set exactly at the height at which the bad guys stretched the metal rope in that car park fight. And if we talk about that parking lot - why did the sledgehammer, which hit the bad guy on the glass bounced off like it was rubber, why did the glass resistant to automatic queues become fragile again when Bond unmasked the car, why did the bandits even try to search the 007 agent, and immediately confidently stated that the red box in the car, and why does Bond control the machine gadget that became the prototype for the modern Sony Ericsson Play? Although the last question is rather an expression of my surprise, because the filmmakers predicted the release of not only a gaming smartphone, but also tires that inflate again after their puncture.
Speaking of punctures. I probably came across a defective version of the film, but the sound of the blow and the blow itself sometimes did not depend on each other, although the fights are still staged as if the actors being beaten are made of very fragile material, and therefore the fist must go very far from the goal. But what I got the soundtrack is not to blame, is that once the gun, ignoring the silencer put on it, when fired, emitted its usual sound.
What did I mean by the previous two paragraphs? The fact that this film is under the microscope is speculation on the glorious name of the series. There's a lot of plots, thanks to Ian Fleming, there's a lot of fans who scoop up anything. So it turns out that you can create a medium thrashing action films, but at the same time between fights and shootouts insert beautiful women, scenes of equipping with new gadgets, signature music and Bond. James Bond. At the same time, you do not need to worry about bringing the plot to the divine appearance, about making special effects worthy (by 97, Die Hard: With A Vengeance and many more films in which people died from being hit by a bullet, and not from the fact that several firecrackers exploded on the grille behind which they were hiding), about making the characters appear less confused.
How much I loved this movie as a child! Brosnan is really the best Bond, if you don’t take into account the actors who played this role in classic films. The hypocrites here came to fame, especially a media mogul similar to Steve Jobs, but their works turned to dust thanks to the efforts of the writer and director.
In addition to the performers of the main roles, the pluses include a magnificent screensaver, does not drop the initial credits of "Watchman" from the first place, but still. The fantasy of stunt directors in some places pleases with its irrepressibility, for example, He and She, handcuffed, on the same motorcycle. But!
The owner of “factories, newspapers, parahods” decided to start World War III in order to obtain exclusive rights to broadcast to China for a period until the end of which he himself is unlikely to live, by unleashing enmity between countries with the help of a stealth ship. Say it out loud. Watch Goldfinger. Is Tomorrow Never Dies a good movie? As you know, but as for me, so

P.S. Wasn't the love between Bond and a Chinese spy too spontaneous? They did not even really meet, I did not notice the sparkling.
James Bond, a gifted agent of British intelligence MI6, faces a large and almost inaccessible enemy. His opponent is Eliot Carver, one of the richest and most influential people in the world. For his own sake, this rich man is going to start another world war – he wants to provoke an unprecedented military conflict between two developed and well-armed countries. Britain's illustrious spy will have to thwart the new villain's plans.
Canadian director Roger Spottiswood was able to create another memorable film in the Bondian series. His coolly made creation is able to carry all the numerous qualities of the very first adaptations of the 60s - everything is very energetic, interesting and famous. His film changes throughout the viewing - he is either elegant or daring; beautiful or scary. It looks like a kaleidoscope. This picture amazes with its capabilities and the huge scope of the production - a tense atmosphere, chilling shootings and hand-to-hand combats pleasing to the eye. All the components of this creation are fascinating, do not give rest. Until the end - until the final credits, we sit and look at the denouement of the whole subtle game, which is conceived by intelligent people.
In fact, I can firmly say that we are facing an equally important work. Although the film is ordinary in terms of the storyline (for dissenting people), it is beautiful in its design. Colorful, I don't argue. I was happy with everyone.
And acting too. Pierce Brosnan has earned me respect for a long time — since my childhood — since I became a fan of Bond movies. In the same creation, he perfectly played his famous hero. He's second only to Sean Connery. Other artists: Jonathan Price, Michel Yeoh, Colin Salmon did not fail.
(For reference): Ian Lancaster Fleming (May 28, 1908, London – August 12, 1964, Canterbury) was an English writer, author of the novels about the superspy James Bond. It is based on his novels, stories and characters that 22 films about Agent 007 were shot.
The film "Tomorrow Never Dies" is the eighteenth project about a world-famous agent, a talented scout and a charming seducer of women's hearts. This picture is another vivid memory from childhood - a favorite time of screen heroes and cult paintings. This movie again filled my soul with a familiar sense of nostalgia and the spirit of a past era. The century of the continuation of the spy genre and all sorts of innovations in it (the birth of previously unprecedented gadgets or coolly sophisticated machines).
In the end, I will note. “Tomorrow Never Dies” is a colorful movie. You have to watch. Rating:
