Review of Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) by Theo S — 23 Aug 2012

+ Good idea.

+ A bit more "agentic" compared to GoldenEye.

+ Yeoh brings some fresh change for the Bond girls.

+ Götz Otto acts very well.

+ Bond's car.

+ The music, including the theme song and the background music.

+ It's going in the right direction.

+ Pierce Brosnan has found himself.

- The good idea is executed badly.

- The villain is uninteresting and totally bad.

- Very dry Bond girls overall.

- The chemistry between Yeoh and Brosnan is missing.

- Stamper is a boring character.

- Too much moving around.

- The fight at the end is anti-climactic.

- Editing stumbles here and there.

- Character of Wade irritating.

- Still not the perfect Bond.

Pierce Brosnan is taking 007 in the right direction, but boring characters and just a bad direction makes this movie very dull.
