12 Things You Learn Rewatching Tomorrow Never Dies

10. The First Act Is Pretty Dull

If you haven't seen Tomorrow Never Dies in a good while, you'd be forgiven for forgetting most of what happens in the movie's first reel.

We get a rather mediocre pre-titles sequence in which 007 breaks up a terrorist arms bazaar in explosive fashion, before villain Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) hatches his plan to broker war between China and the United Kingdom by sinking a British ship and shooting down a Chinese fighter jet.

It doesn't help that none of the action here is particularly interesting, and most of the movie's key players don't get properly introduced to the audience until act two, where things pick up significantly.

As such, the first 40-or-so minutes of the film are a bit ho-hum, to be honest.
