Despite some criticism surrounding it, I consider this film to be among my favorites and, without question, the strongest Pierce Brosnan Bond outing. The movie begins with a fairly uninspired sequence—at least when compared to other 007 introductions—but that’s quickly followed by Sheryl Crow's theme song, which was exceptionally well-done. "Tomorrow Never Dies" evoked the feel of a Connery-era Bond soundtrack; it felt like the finest Bond theme since “The Spy Who Loved Me.” Brosnan portrays a more ruthless character in this installment, and you can see hints of the 007 embodied by Connery, Dalton, or Fleming. He doesn’t hesitate to carry out executions while delivering a clever line. However, it's Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin who truly elevates the film, making it superior to other Bond films from the Dalton period. She proves to be Bond’s equal—something he has done previously, but this time she comes across as genuinely comparable to him in skill and capability. That was a real pleasure to witness. The storyline involving media manipulation seems especially pertinent now, more so than when it was released in 1997. It feels completely plausible, like the Spanish-American War brought to life—a situation that has occurred before but this time carries the potential for nuclear escalation. Overall, I believe it ranks among the very best James Bond films ever produced.
