Summary: The 2nd best Bond movie only because..................
Review: The ending TOTALLY rips off another very popular Bond movie. It was almost as bad as the ending of LIVE AND LET DIE.The entire movie was excellent until the ending. Do something new. Don't do something we've seen before. Even with a horrid ending, DIE ANOTHER DAY is still one of the best Bond movies in recent memory. It has everything! Two villians that are some of the best in the Bond saga, two hot women (Jinx and Miranda Pike in her sports bra thingie) swordfighting, an extremely cool invisible car, one of the coolest title sequences in all of the Bond films, a very cool car chase in Iceland, one of the best songs in the Bond series and of course MR. BLONDE (Michael Madsen from RESERVOIR DOGS) is in it! The fact that the ending ripped off another Bond movie made it my 2nd fave in the series (1st is the very underrated and unappreciated FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.) DIE ANOTHER DAY is Pierce Brosnan's best Bond. DIE ANOTHER DAY has all the key elements that made the series so popular in the 60's and 70's. Definitely don't pass this one up.

Summary: SURPRISINGLY GOOD
Review: This was the first Bond movie I hadn't seen on the big screen (since watching Roger Moore as The Spy Who Loved Me back in the 70s). I'd been disenchanted by the last two Bond outings: Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough... Pierce B was better than Tim Dalton but the scripts and direction were incredibly weak in previous films. Not to mention boring bad guys. Die Another Day is a return to form. If it's going to be Brosnan's last turn as Bond, I'll miss him. Great script, big sets, riveting action and good direction from Lee Tamahori. This is the most interesting Bond film since Goldeneye. Worth watching and I haven't even seen the extras yet...

Summary: Much Better in Full Screen
Review: The first hour of DIE ANOTHER DAY is very good and we see James Bond get involved in and out of some situations we thought we would never see on the screen. Not since ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE have we seen this amount of engaging insight into the psyche of James Bond. True to the best films in the series, Bond is not infallible but he is resourceful and loyal and will not be deterred from seeing duty and justice served. The second hour reverts to the superhero version of Bond this time aided by gadgets and computer generated effects that defy all credibility. Where I felt this part of DIE ANOTHER DAY failed in the theater and on the widescreen version, it seems to work much better in Full Screen. The film certainly took a curious turn once the story shifted to Iceland. Looking at it closer I just found the action hard to follow. This Full Screen version seemed to clear a lot of that up. I also thought Toby Stephens gave an excellent performance as Gustav Graves up until the story moved to Iceland. Stephens' character faltered once the film made that shift. Halle Berry as Jinx was adequate as a Bond girl. John Cleese as the new Quartermaster looked more at home than many of the other regulars. I suppose Cleese has some of the best lines in this film. Even though his scene is brief it does make a lasting impression. Madonna's cameo as Verity the fencing coach was a pleasant surprise. Also, her main title song went appropriately well with the film's opening. As for David Arnold's score, I'm beginning to think he can't sustain an entire film on his own compositions. He deliberately seemed to stay away from emulating John Barry's style. You have to give Arnold credit for that. Arnold does seem to demonstrate moments of brilliance especially in his love scene compositions but he should follow the rule of "less is more" when it comes to scoring the action scenes. I like the deluxe packaging and since I am a James Bond fan you can give me a DVD with two discs any day. Of all the extras I thought the segment on the location filming of Spain for Cuba was excellent, as was the overview of the digital imaging process. DIE ANOTHER DAY will remain as one of the most discussed Bond films in the series. That's always good for business.

Summary: James Bond is back!
Review: James Bond is back! This is a very cool video. This is what its about. James Bond is on a mission to defeat three people. (I forgot their names) Anyways, as if it wasnt hard for James, he gets caught, getting beaten up and was in this prison for 14 months! After all of this, he is now in this other GOOD place. M was very dissapointed in him. Then he wanted to prove that he was a spy. So he went to this city and started his real mission. As he started to meet new people, doing his mission and saving the world, he did it all and now he is gonna be back in a new movie. This is PG-13 for violence, sexularity and stuff like that. Also, on the end, dont miss out of seeing how the people made this movie. This is worth your money. A long movie but very good!

Summary: Poor story and lots of silly gadget gimmicks
Review: I'm as big a Bond fan as anyone of these other reviewers, but it's difficult
for me to give this film a great score. There's no doubt the action is great
and non-stop, but the story gets twisted and confusing and really falls apart
midway. It starts out great until you get to Bond's invisible car. C'mon this was
a silly idea guyz. From then on the story gets stupid and the agent gadgetry
gets out of hand and ridiculous.Why can't our diamond encrusted villain get those diamond chips removed
from his face? He can get his DNA changed, but we are supposed to believe
he can't get those diamonds cut off his face? All about silly gimmicks folks.
The part about Bond skiing with a parachute really gets unreal and goofy.
For a story to be good you have to have honest motivations and verisimilitude.
This film has neither. The current trend with a lot of Hollywood's new movies, is mediocre to poor story,
and acting, but great special effects. Yes the special effects in this film
as also great, but you will be disappointed with Madonna and Haley Berry's
acting. Madonna is very poor in her one little "sword scene". She should
definitely stay in the music biz. This film wouldn't have gotten nearly the
amount of attention it did if it wasn't for Halle Berry being in it. She has
a wonderful body, but that's about it. Her acting ability is very boring and
unmemorable. Sorry fellow Bond fans, but the real fact is this film was a near flop.
It did well in sales because of Halle Berry and great special effects, certainly
not because the story was any good.

Summary: "Sex for Dinner & Death for Breakfast": Shaken & Stirred!
Review: "Die Another Day" is not only easily the best Bond outing with Pierce Brosnan as the infamous Agent 007, but it also ranks up there with the best of the Bond films, including From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, and Dr. No. Though not written by Ian Fleming, "Die Another Day" harkens back to the basic ingredients that made Bond an interesting character to begin with. Some mainstream reviewers claimed that the Bond films, in targeting a younger demographic, had sacrificed tradition in favor of a new James Bond patterned after Vin Diesel's character in "XXX". They also criticized Bond partnering up with Halle Berry, since the 007 of yore preferred to work alone, and they even fussed about Madonna's techno theme song and cameo appearance. Let's set the record straight: "Die Another Day" returns to the classic Bond, and like Buckminster Fuller director Lee Tamahori reinvents the secret agent from the inside out, retaining all the old trappings---martinis shaken not stirred, the penchant for Aston Martin sports cars (with machine guns, naturally), the effortless air in jaws of death, the voracious womanizing---but improving on the original. First off, America---and Bond movies---needs a good enemy; it keeps us on our toes and brings out the best in us. The collapse in 1989 of the Soviet Union may have been good for world peace and freedom, but it was murder on America's self-discipline and the kiss of death for the Bond movies. Suddenly James Bond, bereft of a good nasty villain (c'mon, SPECTRE had been over for nearly two decades by the time Timothy Dalton took up the Bondian Walther PPK), is sent off to wrangle with South American druglords? Please. Now, happily, the bad guys are back, in the form of goose-stepping militaristic North Koreans and a renegade Colonel Moon (played to sneering, toady-bashing perfection by Will Yun Lee), who may be a zealot for Kim Jong Il, but has been educated at Oxford and Harvard with a "master's in Western Hypocrisy" and has a taste for exotic supercars. Bond has been sent on an assassination mission, using the delivery of embargoed 'conflict diamonds' as his cover. Things quickly get out of hands, and after the thrilling opening sequence Bond is captured, disavowed by the MI5, and brutally tortured at the hands of his North Korean captors. The movie is uniformly brisk, exciting, gorgeous to behold (kudos to cinematographer David Tatersall, who worked on Phantom Menace and Con Air, and brings much of the latter to this movie), exotic, and loads of fun. It's also very much in the spirit of Ian Fleming, with everything you want from a Bond film: Bond being thrown to the wolves and tortured brutally (check out Dr. No for evidence), Bond in a vicious and bloody swordfight with the leering evil super-industrialist, plenty of Bondian bombshells to seduce and be stalked by, and cars! cars! cars!. Also blessedly welcome are the villains, who are nasty evil wicked types and deliver the goods in spades: from Lee's sadistic Colonel Moon to Toby Stephenson's sneering diamond tycoon to the facially amorphous Zao to Rosamund Pike's aptly named Miranda Frost, "Die Another Day" offers some of the best villains since the days of Goldfinger and Blofeldt. Classic Bond movies are like exotic travelogues, and this flick is no exception: "Die Another Day" races quickly and lushly from one exotic locale to the other: from the brutally mined and trapped North Korean DMZ to sultry Cuba and on to London and the arctic wastes of Iceland. Brosnan *is* James Bond, by the way, turning in a sweatless, British cool performance that ranks up there with the best of the Connery outings. And finally, Halle Berry is superb---in so many ways. For all the criticism, though, "Die Another Day" is certainly not a buddy movie, and the inclusion of Berry adds a nice touch and gives Bond a brave and stoic sparring partner. I even liked Madonna's cameo and cover song, though it would have been fun to see her and Brosnan tangle. So park the invisible Aston Martin, grab a vodka martini (shaken, not stirred), keep an eye on the blonde bombshell in the corner, and pop "Die Another Day" on the hopper for some classic Bondian goodness.

Summary: WORST BOND FLICK
Review: I used to enjoy seeing the latest Bond flick. The stunts were tremendous and the scenery was simply amazing. Die Another Day fell way short of my expectations. I guess that movies don't have to have fantastic stunts any more. Die Another Day is filled with cheap looking computer generated fake garbage. Here's a tip. Try to make the next Bond flick SUSPENSEFUL! Pierce Brosnan is a drip compared to Sean Connery and Roger Moore. Timothy Dalton did a better job. 007 used to travel to exotic locales. It looks like most of Die Another Day was filmed on a sound stage. Boring! This movie was pretty much a waste of my time. If you want see an enjoyable movie try one of the older Bond flicks with either Sean Connery or Roger Moore.
