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.

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.
