Summary: The differences between the three versions of the DVD
Review: There are two-and-a-half versions of this DVD, and it's important to know the difference when buying.There's the regular version and two versions of the Special Edition. All three offer an excellent print of the film itself with amazing sound. All give you the choice of letterbox or TV ratios. All have multiple language tracks and multiple language closed captioning. All give you the trailer in addition to the movie. But the Special Editions are clearly the preferred form. There's no difference between the two Special Editions save packaging: get whichever is a) available and b) cheaper. As with all in the Bond Special Editions, the _TND_ SE has double audio commentaries, TV advertisements, production notes, and a 45-minute documentary. Unlike other Bond Special Editions to date, however, _TND_ adds the music video of the theme song, includes an innovative *third* audio track (consisting of only the musical score and the composer's commentary), and does a really wild thing by letting you compare actual shots to the storyboard. These last two features are innovative even for non-Bond films. I've never seen a DVD with a music-only track, and only a handful of DVDs currently have any sort of storyboarding element amongst their extra features. With all this additional stuff, and the modest difference in price between the regular and special editions, your purchase choice is a no-brainer. Buy whichever version of _Tomorrow Never Dies_ Special Edition you can get your hands on.

Summary: A exotic retro bond for the 90's styleish.
Review: In this bond Peirce Brosnan reprises his role as elite super agent James Bond.It seems in this movie he gets entagled with a media mogul Elliot Carver who seemingly gets off on misfortunes and accidents from around the world and fabicates them for the simple fact to create publicty for creating another world war.It's up to only one man to stop this madman.With beautiful women and a fully armed BMW 750 ai to infiltration of a stelth ship to a helicopter chase through the streets and an one man excersion on a wepons bazzar with the beautiful Teri Hatcher and , beautiful stuntwoman Michele Yheo. Peirce Brosnan has fun with Bond this time around , this is no Goldeneye or The World Is Not Enough but it is an exotic and action packed movie it a fun movie to watch and thats all you get a fun movie to watch.So if you want a more classic Bond film your best bet is Goldeneye or The World Is Not Enough but if you want a bond film just for fun then this is one to get. The specal edition DVD gives all the info on this film and info on James Bond himself Specal effects reels and trailers.This movie is worth buying 007 is still the one for action.

Summary: Not Your Best Adventure, 007
Review: Tomorrow Never Dies is a Bond movie too tragically caught by the 90's. The script was excellent on Bruce Fierstein's part, it's just that the storyline was slightly off par. Being a die hard James Bond fan, who is currently writing a book on him, I must say this movie was not one of the better ones. The vilain, superbly played by Jonathan Pryce was a contemporary of the 90's. Although his way of doing it was unexpected, his plan was not at all original. The best part of the film was the opening sequence, which was Bruce Fierstein's brainchild. It displayed a classic element of Bond as well as adding an ultramodern twist. A good movie, just not one of the better Bond films. To get a truly "Bondian" feel, read the novel by my good friend Raymond Benson.

Summary: Not a bad action flick, but a sub-par Bond film
Review: Call the Bond films what you like..."repetitive" and "formulaic" are some adjectives that non-Bond fans (and even Bond fans) often bring up in discussing the series. And as a Bond fanatic, I fully recognize that these films are formulaic...and, frankly, wouldn't want them to be any other way. I believe that much of the series' enduring charm stems from the predictability and familiarity of certain elements. Sadly, these elements are not up to snuff in Tomorrow Never Dies. The acting is simply weak throughout, something symptomatic of a poor script. How else can you explain the waste of the talents of Jonathan Pryce? Roger Ebert once said that a Bond film is only as good as its villain - something made abundantly clear by this entry in the Bond canon. Pryce's character - Elliot Carver, a sort of Rupert Murdochesque media baron - is simply not over the top or megalomaniacal enough. He's just like...well, Rupert Murdoch. Carver's henchman, Herr Stamper (who looks eerily like Dolph Lundgren's Drago in Rocky IV) is a cartoonish bad guy with cartoonish dialogue. The Bond girl (Michelle Yeoh) doesn't ever coo a proper "Oh, James." Even Teri Hatcher's presence is squandered. And why? Quite simply, a bad script (which reportedly had to be re-written at the last minute...and it shows). Also, the directing is shoddy. There are some slow-motion action shots interspersed throughout the movie that have no place in a Bond film, but rather the latest Seagal or Van Damme film (not that there's anything wrong with Seagal or Van Damme flicks, of course...). Strangely enough, I could foresee all of this coming when I first saw the film: if you look at the end of the opening credits, Roger Spottiswoode's name stays up on the screen for a good ten seconds, even after the titles fade out...something never before done; a hubris unbecoming of a Bond director. There are some missing shots throughout, and the picture itself isn't as good-looking as its predecessor. All is not lost, however. The action (especially in the opening scene and in the Hamburg car park) is still fun to watch. Plus, Desmond Llewelyn pops by with the usual gadgets and reassuring presence (which we'll sadly miss come the next Bond film). This isn't a bad film, and is actually a half-decent action film. But as a Bond film, it is sub-par -- something that would be made up for in abundance by the next Bond film ("The World is Not Enough", soon to be released on video, which, along with "Goldeneye", is much more highly recommended for new[er] Bond fans).

Summary: Tomorrow Never Dies
Review: Pierce Brosnan's second appearance as OO7 is very good.The villains are megalomaniac Elliot Carver and his henchman Stamper.Carver has orchestrated a plot to get world domination by a war between the superpowers and also get exclusive broadcating rights in China for the next century.Michelle Yeoh is a very good Bond girl and Brosnan does well also.Jonathan Pryce is excellent as Elliot Carver. Sheryl Crow's title song was one of the better one s and David Arnold'smusical score was marvelous.But incredible action sequences take first chair here.There are two extremely exciting car chases in this movie, one is a demilition derby type one through the streets of Saigon were Bond and Yeoh ride on a motorcycle trying to evade Carver's men.It is similar to the chase in The Man with the Golden Gun through the streets of Bangkok where there is an awesome corkscrew flip through the air.The other chase is in a multi-level parking structure where Bond dispatches Carver's men with the help of Q's gadget-ladden BMW.Some of the gadgets are rockets, machine guns, bulletproof windows, and tires that refill after they've been punctured, and tacks.Yet the most impressive gadget is probably the remote control for his car.It is a cell phone, a fingerprint scanner, a tazer boy, and best of all, OO7 can control the car from it.Two other great action scenes are a fight in a building where they run printing presses and a spectacular fight on Carver's stealth sub.Though it might be a level below GoldenEye and The World is Not Enough Tomorrow Never Dies is still a classic OO7 movie.

Summary: Missing Cubby
Review: As a Bond devotee who skipped out on the last few releases in the theaters, this was a real disappointment. Brosnan showed he has the stuff in Goldeneye, but Broccoli's direction is *sorely* missed in this DieHard/Seagall-ish shoot-em-up. Not too many years ago Roger Moore was even concerned about kicking the villain's car over a cliff. Now Bond spews bullets like Rambo.... The plot is clever, very much up to standards, but the new direction/production staff needs to find its *direction* to make Bond work in the 21st. We're all pulling for 'em!

Summary: What is going on?
Review: This is Pierce Brosnan's best Bond movie. It is also one of the best Bond movies, period. I can't believe all of you people like Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough better than this. This is the most action-packed 007 film after On Her Majesty's Secret Service and has one of the best bad guy's ever. Jonathan Pryce is the perfect megalomaniac. It has the best car chase after The Spy Who Loved Me. I know lots of people just turned away from it after Austin Powers, but maybe they should go back and see it again. It is a great action movie.

Summary: What are some of you reviewers thinking?
Review: Like most James Bond movies, Tomorrow Never Dies is great! Pierce Brosnan in his second Bond movie, does a great job! He is the best Bond, besides Sean Connery. George Lazenby only did 1, Timothy Dalton was not right for the character, and Roger Moore was blonde and WAY too emotional! For all you people who are criticizing Pierce Brosnan and his Bond movies: get a life! He does a great job, in GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, AND Tomorrow Never Dies!

Summary: Very clever plot idea smothered in action...
Review: This is definitely your 007-k Bond film. Brosnan has come back with his smooth style that has just enough razor blade edge to it (as he displays in "The World is Not Enough" and years ago as a KGB agent in "The Fourth Protocol")to foreshadow his playing the role in adventures that are "thrillers" as well as spectacles. Jonathan Pryce has the same sophisticated psychotic air of menace that Max Von Sydow brought to "Never Say Never Again" as SPECTRE chief Blofeld. Except that in this outing Pryce's maniac media mogul, Elliot Carver, manipulates world events to provoke W.W.III for the sake of ratings and exclusive control of Red China's soon-to-boom cable TV market. Isn't this the most nefarious and original threat since Bond faced down Blofeld in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" with its scheme of germ/genetic warfare? TOMORROW NEVER DIES could have been a superbly cynical 007-twist on "Wag the Dog" that might have made it a classic in its own right. Instead the fan/viewer has to settle for great action sequences, exotic locales and the spectacle that the 007 franchise inevitably delivers. Carping about a Bond movie is like complaining about the cost of a free meal. And I'm not; I simply repeat that this could have been a gourmet piece de resistance instead of the usual shaken-not-stirred Aston-Martini-buffet Bond smothered in action.......
