In TOMORROW NEVER DIES, British super-spy James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) goes after a ruthless media baron, Elliot Carver--an amalgam of Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch, and Bill Gates--played with feisty aplomb by Jonathan Pryce. Carver's diabolical plan is to instigate World War III so that his empire can obtain exclusive coverage (a la CNN during the Gulf War). This time, 007 must endure the sorrow of love lost as he shares a nostalgic interlude with his ex-lover Paris (Teri Hatcher) who is now married to his nemesis, Carver. He also discovers a worthwhile partner in a female Chinese counterpart, Wai Lin (Hong Kong action diva Michelle Yeoh). Noteworthy for its unabashed commercial product placement, TOMORROW NEVER DIES follows the sharp direction of Roger Spottiswoode. [More]

One watches a Bond film for two hours of spy intrigue, car chases, fights, explosions, and beautiful women, and on that fairly undemanding level, it delivers the goods.

The 18th James Bond movie features the usual saturation bombardment.

Kinetic, knowing, crammed with high-tech gadgetry and sophisticated in the most superficial sense of the term: What else could you ask of a James Bond picture?

Efficient action, gleaming product placement and, in Michelle Yeoh, a convincing foil for Bond.

A solid but somewhat by-the-numbers entry in the James Bond cycle.

The film seldom reaches the pitch of Goldfinger, but it does stay on tune, thanks to performers who know how to belt out an old favorite.

The winsome pic gives the people what they want. At least, what they want from the Bond franchise.

Even the evil henchman is badly picked: Ricky Jay is a lovable magician, not a hard-nosed killer.

Michelle Yeoh is a the lone bright star as the Chinese operative who occasionally, and rewardingly, resorts to Jackie Chan styled chop socky combat.

The filmmakers appear to have started with a series of stunts...and built a script around them.

Yeoh is very effective in this film, but the rest of the cast is not.

If you like Bond movies, you'll like it; if you don't, you won't.

Pierce Brosnan's second outing as 007 is even more assured and charismatic than his impressive debut in GoldenEye.

To be sure, it's a formula. But, lo and behold, it's good fun, too.
