it in high style with an invigorating cast of co-stars. It's only appropriate that a Bond film from 1997 would find Agent 007 pitted against a media mogul (Jonathan Pryce) who's going to start a global war--beginning with stolen nuclear missiles aimed at China--to create attention-grabbing headlines for his latest multimedia news channel. It's the information age run amok and Bond must team up with a lovely and lethal agent from the Chinese External Security Force (played by Hong Kong action star Michelle Yeoh) to foil the madman's plot of global domination. Luckily for Bond, the villain's wife (Teri Hatcher) is one of his former lovers and, at the behest of his superior M (Judi Dench), 007 finds ample opportunity to exploit the connection. Although it bears some nagging similarities to many formulaic action films from the '90s, Tomorrow Never Dies (with a title song performed by Sheryl Crow) boasts enough grand-scale action and sufficiently intelligent plotting to suggest the Bond series has plenty of potential to survive into the next millennium. Armed with the usual array of gadgets (including a remote-controlled BMW), Brosnan settles into his role with acceptable flair and the dynamic Yeoh provides a perfect balance to the sexism that once threatened to turn Bond into a politically incorrect anachronism. He's still Bond, to be sure, but he's saving the world with a bit more sophisticated finesse. --Jeff Shannon

...second appearance of Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies. The version I am reviewing is the two-disc Ultimate Edition.
As you can imagine, this was only the second Bond film to be released since Licence to Kill back in 1989 and the hype around the film was justifiably huge. Brosnan had cemented his role as 007 and audiences welcomed him back to the role with a great hunger for another film to be released. The film was release in the UK on December 12th ... ...days previously. A film had to be released in 1997 as that year was the 35th anniversary of Dr No.
---The Plot---
Two years after the massively successful GoldenEye, Brosnan returned for a second time as James Bond. This time things were different to the previous production, the story revolved around a media baron who wants to start World War III between Great Britain and China so he can get exclusive broadcasting rights of coverage on his new ...
