Tomorrow Never Dies, like the commercial marketing assault the Bond cast has been involved in, is a hollow experience that's egregiously trumped up by its high energy glitz and gimmickry. Somewhere, in their rush to amaze and thrill, the filmmakers forgot about Bond, the man.

San Francisco Examiner by Barbara Shulgasser
What's pleasing about this movie is its enduring adherence to the Bondian ideal.
The movie is efficient but scores zero in suspense, wit or class.
ReelViews by James Berardinelli
Tomorrow Never Dies is a better film than Goldeneye. In fact, it's the best Bond film in many years.
The New York Times by Janet Maslin
Despite Mr. Brosnan's best efforts to be lethally debonair, the Bond franchise has sacrificed most of what made this character unique in the first place, turning the world's suavest spy into one more pitchman and fashion plate. This latest film is such a generic action event that it could be any old summer blockbuster, except that its hero is chronically overdressed.
Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
Veteran director Roger Spottiswoode has tried to pep the old warhorse up, but the combined inertia of all those pictures over 35 years proves hard to budge.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
There's a high gloss and some nice payoffs, but not quite as much humor as usual; Bond seems to be straying from his tongue-in-cheek origins into the realm of conventional techno-thrillers.
Austin Chronicle by Russell Smith
It's far from unenjoyable, but the dank shroud of the overfamiliar lies heavy over all, kind of like watching an Elvis concert circa 1976.
San Francisco Chronicle by Ruthe Stein
If the formula seems a little tired, it still has more sophistication and pizzazz than most action films.
