Jeff Katz(@KatzFilms):The excellent Dr. Kaufman scene alone is worth it. Also the rare case where the end credits song is way, way better than the opening title song. This also applies to LICENSE TO KILL.

I think the most underrated Bond film is 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies. Brosnan is arguably at his peak in this as Bond in terms of the charisma, action scenes, and we get more of an emotional arc with the death of his old flame. He also has great scenes with Q and with the German assassin Dr Kaufman. The villain Elliot Carver was a compelling blend of being seemingly grounded but actually maniacal. Michelle Yeoh's character Wai Lin was a great hybrid of professional rival and Bond Girl to Brosnan with strong screen chemistry. I liked the plot and the set pieces are excellent. It does lose a bit of steam on the final third for a while but finishes pretty well.
