Summary: Shocking. Positively shocking.
Review: I have seen this film twice. One in the cinema and once on DVD. The second time was to see if it was as bad as I thought it was....

Nope, it was worse. I'm a big Bond fan, of Sean Connery and Roger Moore, but this was a complete joke. It made A View To A Kill look like a classic.

AN INVISIBLE CAR???? SWAP YOUR DNA FOR AN HOUR'S SLEEP???? A GLOBAL WARMING CAUSING (Diamonds Are Forever-another bad Bond film-ripoff) SATELLITE???? Bond can't tell his gun has been unloaded? Give me a break. Also the 'CGI' (I use the term loosely) look as if they've been made with a PS2. Also the jumpy editing did my head in.

Brosnan looked bored, and the writers didn't seem interested either. I think that mostly the blame should go on the director, because at the end of the day he has to make it and could have changed it if he wanted to. The only jump cut I want to see is his face when he gets fired. Save your money and watch Goldfinger or The Spy Who Loved Me instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perhaps the Best Pierce 007 Yet
Review: Die Another Day was the best Pierce Brosnan 007 movie. With Halle Berry playing a tough chick who takes no help from men, this movie is also pleasing to women. The new little bullet effect at the beginning of the movie was probably the winner, though.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE WORST, brosnan is downright AWFUL
Review: DIE another day is STUPID. It starts with Bond killing a general's son in a hovercraft battle. They then torture him for a year and a half before trading him for Zao,the villian that Bond detonates diamonds by and his face is covered in diamonds(STUPID). The general's son somehow turns into Gusta Graves, an adrenaline junkie diamond collector who NEVER SLEEPS. Bond is sent to Graves palace of ice(STUPID SETTING) to investigate ICARUS, a satellite capable of zapping things(THAT"S ORIGINAL FOR A BOND FILM). Halle Berry is JINX, a character that has no impact on the movie itself. Tanya Roberts and Jill St.John were even better Bond girls than her.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: POSSIBLY THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE
Review: I really can not believe how they destroyed the James Bond franchise with this movie. Way too over the top CGI effects, horrible story, and terrible acting. This movie started out bad from the first minute and just got simply worse. I don't know why anybody who is a long time Bond fan would even find anything good about this movie.

Lets just hope they never make another Bond movie again if this is the direction the franchise is going.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The weakest of the Brosnan Bond films.
Review: I had hi hopes that "Die Another Day" would be a great Bond film (at least better then "The World is Not Enough"), but I guess not every film in this franchise can be a winner.

"Die Another Day" is so over the top with gadgets (a car that can cloak?), pointless characters, less then believable effects, and horrible sexual innuendo jokes (its what you expect from a Bond film, but this one really over did it), that you wonder if the franchise has any hope at all of continuing (quality wise).

The character of Jinx (played by Halle Berry) is useless in this movie. The press and studio hyped her as being the female equivalent of James Bond. In reality, Jinx stands around most of the time looking hot. She fires a hand gun about five times, jumps off a computer generated cliff, spends the next hour a damsel in distress, and then has a less then average sword fight at the end. I don't think Halle Berry is a bad actress, but she has to work with some terrible dialog. She comes off sounding like a cheerleader who recently got recruited into the NSA and then spouts embarrassing jokes about Bond's private parts. If you want to see a real Jane Bond, check out Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin in "Tomorrow Never Dies". She does more in five minutes what Jinx does in the two hour span of "Die Another Day".

The other problems would be the fact that the technology is excessively hi tech. The Aston Martin that can turn invisible, the ridicules body armor that Toby Stephens dons at the end of the movie, the giant laser, and a mess of other props just come off as excessive. The Bond movies are know for the sexual banter, but "Die Another Day" has every other sentence be about sex (who has ever said "I got the thrust of it"?) Because of this, the dialog is flat out corny and lame.

Some of the better parts of the movie are the action sequences. The stand out is the trick-car VS trick-car scene. It's fantastic to see two luxury automobiles armed with rockets and machine guns go at one another. The action scenes are great if you avoid everything else in between (which is a lot).

If you want to see a great Bond film, go out and get ether "Goldfinger", "For Your Eyes Only", "License to Kill", and "Tomorrow Never Dies". See Bond at his best, instead of one of his worst outings.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Definitely the worst Bond flick since Moonraker
Review: Possibly even worst than Moonraker. I have all of the Bond films and am a big fan, but this film is a sell out to hype and marketing and has very few redeaming qualities.

It is just plain poor.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Too HI-TECH
Review: Well what can I say

*Halle Berry is funny, so is Bond and R and so on
*We see the vunerable Bond( good/bad your choice)
*Madonna sucks
*The Vanish(oh please)
*Long snow fights-boring
*You'll be a genius if you get the plot

In conclusion

*Worth watching five minutes but please....
DON'T WASTE GOOD MONEY

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Suspend your intelligence...
Review: This movie has some incredible special effects, great fight scenes, interesting plot and great villains. However, the special gadgets this time around are just a little too far outside the realm of possibility. An invisible car...give me a break. A resort constructed of ice...yeah, when h*ll freezes over.

Of course with any Bond film, you're asked to suspend some degree of reality -- usually the fight scenes, but in this one you definitely have to ignore your sense of science. While I don't mind cooperating, this one asks a little much of its audience.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just another Day
Review: While Pierce Brosnan taking on the role of James Bond inarguably reinvigorated the franchise, in his latest outing as 007 he looks tired, and the film certainly feels like the creative staff agree.

There are some high points -- the use of North Korea, Bond in captivity, adventures in Cuba -- but the moment the film shifts to the wintery setting for its last half, it's as though we're watching Roger Moore circa "Moonraker." The film becomes cliche, camping and outright silly, and even the ice palace -- clearly meant to be impressive -- just looks like a leftover from a cheap 1970s science fiction movie.

While I hope Bond is never fully retired, it feels like it's time to put the franchise on the shelf again for a decade or so, and let a new generation of creators find a way to make him the hero he's meant to be, and so often has been in the past.

Recommended only as a rental.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst Bond Since Moonraker
Review: Worst Bond movie since Moonraker. I'm a die-hard fan of the series and this has to be the worst overall Bond movie in years. The plot was awful and any viewer could see the surprises' coming. Halle Berry is not fit for the series and a sequel with her character will bomb. Bronsan better come back to another one and redeem himself from this terrible movie.
