Review of Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) by Stefan G — 17 Sep 2014
It's not as good as GoldenEye, but I still find this action-packed entry to be quite enjoyable in some way, even if it is a somewhat by-the-numbers entry in the franchise. The plot isn't exactly original, but it isn't so bad that it's boring.
To be completely fair, story isn't entirely important in a movie that focuses on action. The characters and acting are fairly decent, though the script sometimes has its more hackneyed moments. Thankfully, Bond himself is enough of an endearing character that his performance kind of saves the movie, or at least makes it easier to ignore some of the flawed acting and script.
The production values on this movie are decent, but they tend to be overshadowed by the film's special effects. Perhaps the best part of the movie is the action scenes, which, while not as good as in other action movies, are still quite a spectacle.
While this isn't the best Bond movie out there, at least it's not as redundant as some of the other Bond movies that came before it.
