Summary: she won an Oscar?
Review: I am a die hard 007 fan. That out of the way, understand that I have been waiting for this film ever since walking out of the theatre after the World is Not Enough three years ago. Honestly I thought that Die Another Day would be a nice take back to the golden days of Connery as the Martini sipping, cigarette puffing snob of a secret agent. Ok, so I expected too much. Bond has to compete with xXx and other blow 'em up movies these days, I will give him that. But I am sorry to announce that I was very disappointed in Halle Berry's performance. Sure she's easy on the eyes, but entirely inconvincable as a CIA agent. In one of her scenes she tries to catch a helicopter on foot with her pistol directed toward the fleeing machine. It looked to me as if she was scaired to hold the gun in front of her. Entirely too stiff in the arm and not even trying to aim. Like I said I am a die hard fan of the movie series and the original books. Perhaps I expect too much. But does "yo' mama" have any place in the realm of sophisticated, international secret agent James Bond? This viewer believes not. If you have not seen this film and think I am being too anylitical, put down your eight bucks and decide for yourself. But don't expect oscar award winning diaglogue or a beleivable leading lady...

Summary: OK for Bond aficionados
Review: "Die Another Day" is a reasonably entertaining installment in the seemingly endless James Bond series - provided you don't go into the theater expecting too much that is. This edition boasts an utterly preposterous plot (that goes almost without saying in films of this type), spectacular stunts and special effects (except for one really badly done shot of Bond boogie boarding down an ice floe), cool gizmos and gadgets, and one of the most beautiful Bond girls of all time in the person of none other than Academy Award winner Halle Berry. Ms. Berry is not the only Oscar-winning actress to lend her talents to this venture, however. Dame Judi Dench brings her own touch of class to the festivities as Bond's brittle, starchy boss, known only as M (one does get the sense, however, that the British grand dame is doing a bit of slumming appearing in a work of this caliber).

Like most Bond flicks, this one runs about a half hour longer than it should. And one does begin to feel that these films have gone so far over-the-top in their plotting and style that there really isn't a whole lot of humanity left in the series. That's where Pearce Brosnan comes in. He provides enough of a down-to-earth quality to help keep the film at least somewhat grounded in reality, which is certainly necessary considering just how cartoonish in nature many of the action scenes are in this picture. The fact that the North Koreans serve as the arch villains of the story might have lent the film a patina of social relevance were the sociopolitical issues not dealt with in so utterly absurd a way.

There is one amusing scene wherein Bond looks with wry disdain at the retinue of "high tech" spy devices from the past, including many used in the very earliest 007 pictures. That kind of bemused self-ribbing is all to the good in a film as lightweight in substance as this one.

There are plenty of better films playing out there right now that could certainly use even a smidgen of the box office proceeds that will be generated by this movie, but "Die Another Day" is must viewing for any hardcore fanatic of the Bond called James.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not for everybody
Review: What I can tell you, is that it isn't for everybody and it is different from any pervious flims. Fans of the old school style of flims will not enjoy this one to much, but for the younger fans of the flim series, they will enjoy.

Now, everybody that I talk to before I saw the movie, said that it was good and that I would like it. This is good, but I have hear this before many times before, so I took the postive news about this movie with a grain of salt. After seeing it, I have to say that I have to agree with them, is is a good moive, much better than the pervious movie "The World Isn't Enough". In fact I feel asleep during that movie, but so with this movie.

With the movie, I have to admit that the first half-hour of the movie started out slow and I thought that it was going to be a waste of my time and my money. Then the movie really starts to pick up and make the movie wroth the time and money.

I have to admit the fight scene were a lot more fluid than other fights before that movie, and it looks that where influnces from The Martix and John Woo. With two wicked sword fights that are par with sword fights that would come out an Anime movie or series.

The humor is typical for any movie from this series, some jokes will hit in the head, while others will just past you bye. Also M and Q get more screen time than before. The coolest factor is the fact that this movie has celver references from pervious flims that are enbeded throughout the movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The New Bond is Classic
Review: It's always a pleasure to watch a new James Bond movie. Nearly all of them are a blast, and Die Another Day is no slouch. In fact, the car chase on the ice is one of the most amazing action sequences I've ever seen. The plot is classic: James Bond chases his villain all over the globe, partaking in explosive skirmishes here, picking up a hot babe there, and ultimately saving the world. It's funny how that formula never gets old. I guess it's the same thing with Bond. Shouldn't he be 80-something by now? The point is that Bond will never get old. He'll always have new gadgets, he'll always have hot babes, and he'll always have awesome movies. Die Another Day is entertaining from start to finish.

Summary: 007 James Bond: Die Another Day
Review: Finally, Brosnan IS Bond!!
That's what the big fans of "James Bond 007" said when this grate movie released!
The movie contain tremendous stunts prefomed by the actor him self.
Like every James Bond movie, the sexy agent "007" sent by the secret British agency to save the world from an extremly dangerous terririst.
The main stunts of the movie are involved with cars and evenmachine guns all around the globe.
I scored this movie of 5 out of 5 becuse of his grate stunts and also grate actors like Pierce Brosnan that become elevated of his other Jame Bond movies!!

Summary: Probably the second best bond movie!
Review: Definitely the best Pierce Brosnan Bond Movie. It had lots of action and it showed how bond could adapt and get better at his job. Who would have thought James Bond could get better at what he does! The ending and the 'good' guys change and nothing is as it seems. Also, Madonna does make a cameo appearance but for about two minutes of the film. I Again I definitely would recommend this film to all Bond fans. The Best Post-Connery bond film. Of course the gadets are the best and the Halley Berry made a better sidesick then Michelle Yeon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pointless action- but hey, it's bond!
Review: This movie was fun. there are no other ways to describe it. The plot was sketchy, but this is the Brosnan era- we've come to expect that. As for John Cleese as Q- a fitting replacement. He simply shines in that role- providing the adequate humor needed to lighten the entire movie. This movie was a fun excape for a few hours, especially when bond chooses to use the broken rocket sled as a kiteboard. I actually thought that that was funnier than it was a good use of resources.
