Tomorrow Never Dies

a review by drystyx

An ordinary 007 film. Which still puts it in a better light than about ten others. Unfortunately, this one is very "formula". A mogul wants to take over the way the media of the world works, and that's a bit of a foreshadowing of today, but it also makes it perhaps the most "dated" Bond movie ever made, because the media today is a mess of hob goblins that act like chickens with their heads cut off. For the sake of the movie, though, everything is typical Bond, with evil assassins wanting to kill James Bond, only this time the stereotypical assassin is also out for revenge. The action is good. Bond is still likable and is an "okay guy" so to speak. It works. It's just a bit ordinary. I doubt there will be much you remember about this one.
