Opening Remarks: This was only the second Bond film that I ever
enjoyed. The first being Goldeneye. I only watched Goldeneye
because of the game, though. Anyways, I had pretty high
expectations for this film and it delivered.

Movie Quality: Tomorrow Never Dies is my favorite Bond film. I've
only seen 3, though. The plot goes like this, Jonathan Pryce
plays a media mogul who decides to start World War 3. He makes
the British think that the Chinese have attacked them. But he was
behind the whole attack himself. It's up to James Bond and
Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin to get to the bottom of this whole mess.
This movie is an excellent thrill ride. It's not the most
sophisticated movie ever, but it is fun to watch. Brosnan &
Yeoh are an excellent pair and they should team up again for a
future Bond film. The action sequences are really cool. This
movie is a cool thrill ride.

Video Quality: This disc looks amazing. This disc has both the
Widescreen & the Fullscreen versions on the same side of the
disc. You pick which version you would like to watch on the menu
screens. The video itself looks amazing. The colors are some of
the most vivid that I have seen.

*****************************************************************************
Sound Quality: This is one of those demonstration disc. What I
mean by that is that this is a disc to show off your DVD player
to friends. It sounds that good. The music is awesome and the
surround fx are extremely well done.

*****************************************************************************
Extras: This disc is basically the movie only. You do get the
Original Theatrical Trailer, but that's all.

Improve: More extras.(For more extras check out Tomorrow Never
Dies:Special Edition)
RIYL: Other Bond films(Each film will be redone in Special
Edition DVDs)

Overall Opinion: This disc is awesome, but you might want to
spend the extra change and get the Special Edition. It's $10-15
more, but you might find that you wish that you would have bought
it. I bought mine about 3 or 4 weeks before the SE hit stores and
I wish that I would have waited.
