1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies, which was directed by Roger Spottiswoode, was one of the most underrated of the Bond films. Perhaps not coincidentally, it also starred the most underrated Bond, Pierce Brosnan.
In this pre-credits opening scene, Brosnan shows us exactly who James Bond is meant to be. He’s the best at his job but he still knows how to enjoy himself. After the recent Daniel Craig films, it can be somewhat surprising to go back see how enjoyable James Bond was when he was angst-free.
Where does the admiral want his bombs delivered?

Pierce Brosnan is handsome, but Connery’s the only Bond for me.

I am reviewing all of the Bond films in order after rewatching them and this one popped higher on my list – I didn’t remember it as fondly but it really holds up well! https://johnrieber.com/2024/09/10/my-007-review-of-tomorrow-never-dies-pierce-brosnans-bond-is-back-with-michelle-yeoh-and-hannibal-lector/
