I just recently watched Pierce Brosnan’s 秒 outing as James Bond in this 1997 movie that co-stars Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Pryce and Teri Hatcher.
"TOMORROW NEVER DIES" (1997) Review
I wish I could say that my opinion of the movie has improved over the years . . . but I would be lying. Mind you, "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" did have some highlights, but unfortunately, it possessed もっと見る negative traits than positive ones. I think it would be best if I 一覧 both the good and the bad about this movie:
Positive
*Michelle Yeoh
*Bond’s romantic scene with Danish linguist was rather sexy
*Foreign locations – Hamburg and Thailand (as Vietnam) never looked lovelier
*Bond and Wai-Lin’s escape from Caver building in Vietnam - great stunt
*Motorcycle chase – well done
*Pierce Brosnan – seemed natural . . . when he was 芝居 in scenes with Yeoh
*Vincent Shirerpelli as Dr. Hamburg – oddly enough, I had rather liked him. He was a lot もっと見る interesting than Mr. Stamper. And his death was even もっと見る interesting, as well.
*Mr. Gupta – seemed like a pretty sharp and cool guy.
Negative
*Pierce Brosnan – his angsty scenes with Teri Hatcher seemed stiff and unnatural. And his voice tend to sound odd, when he's giving the impression of suppressing his emotions. Why did the director, Roger Spottiswode, have him shooting machine 銃 two at a time during the final confrontation on Carver’s boat? He looked like a walking action movie cliché.
*Jonathan Pryce – one of the most overbearing and annoying villains in the Bond franchise. Only Sophie Marceau in the latter half of THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH surpassed him.
*Plot – Is it just me または is the plot of this Bond movie seemed like an extended rip-off of a LOIS AND CLARK episode from its first season? Perhaps learning of Teri Hatcher’s casting must have 与えられた the screenwriters the idea.
*Moneypenny’s Little Sexual Joke – why is it that nearly every sentence directed によって Moneypenny to Bond sounded like some kind of sly sexual joke? It got very annoying.
*Bond and Q’s Meeting in Hamburg – All Q was doing was handing over a car to Bond, and the director turned it into a hammy production number. What a bore and a waste of time!
*Mr. Stamper – a second-rate version of Red Grant. Where are Robert Shaw または Andreas Wisnewski when あなた need them?
*Car Chase Inside Hamburg Parking Structure - Bond uses a remote control . . . ah, never mind! The whole scene was a bore. Even worse, it happened after the marvelous Bond/Kaufman scene. What a waste of my time.
*Final Confrontation on Carver’s ボート – Despite all of the gunfire exchanged and the other action, I found it to be too long . . . and boring.
*Wade – I did not need to see him again. Joe Don Baker was wasted in this film.
*Bond’s Cover as a Banker – I am beginning to suspect that Bond makes a lousy undercover agent. によって opening his mouth and hinting at Carver’s boat, he ended up exposing himself. What an idiot!
*Teri Hatcher – She was wasted in this film. And she and Brosnan do not do emotional angst together, very well.
Also, "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" did managed to produce a few お気に入り lines of mine:
Favorite Lines
“Believe me, Mr. Bond. I can shoot あなた from Stugartt and still create the proper effect.” – Dr. Kaufman to Bond
BOND: “You were pretty good with that hook.”
WAI-LIN: “That’s from growing up in a rough neighborhood. あなた were pretty good on the bike.”
BOND: “Well, that comes from not growing up at all.”
“No もっと見る absurd than starting a war for ratings.” – Bond to Carver
KAUFMAN: "Wait! I am just a professional doing a job!"
BOND: "So am I." (Then kills Kaufman)
Despite some of its virtues, "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" is not a お気に入り movie of mine. In fact, it is my least お気に入り Brosnan movie. It is もっと見る または less a generic burdened によって an unoriginal plot and one of the hammiest villains in the franchise's history.
