Summary: more action than goldeneye, lil' too far. . .
Review: Well, to be honest, this has to be the most action-packed bond film of them all. . . but I think it was about the time, when you see the icebergs rising, or the invisible car, that's when you notice they've taken these Bond films to a whole new level. Which is always happening time and time again, but what I'm wondering is how are they going to top that, in the next bond film. How are they gonna make it better, you see they pushed it too much, too fast. I mean Lee Tamahori's got an amazing imagination, but they've gotta keep it steady. The plot was great, and the beginning as Bond is being captured and tortured for the first time, over in North Korea was alright. Though they pushed the envelope too far. I mean, I know they had to do something great and special for the 40th anniversary, but I think they've went just a little bit too far.
I bought the dvd day it came out, it was long expected for me. Great special features, I see no reason why it shouldn't be made into a video game. I mean, the movie was almost like one! Anyway, a 2-disc special edition dvd was great, I'm a really great fan of Bond dvds, and I believe this was the first 2-disc. Other than that, it was a great film, I really liked it and I recommend this dvd to any James Bond Fan.

Summary: Pierce is great
Review: Die Another Day is a great Bond movie. It's Brosnan's best behind Goldeneye. The story is almost a remake of Diamond are Forever but is much better. Halle Berry is in it and is great. She is so hot and played her character Jinx so well she is going to get a spin off. My favorite part of the movie was Bonds' car. His Aston Martin Vanquish is spectacular. The car fight between it and the Jaguar was so cool and really the first of it's kind. For all Bond fans this is a must own. For causal Bond fans you still should get it. It's easily one of the top 10 bond movies made. I liked it and I think you will too.

Summary: Depressing....
Review: This film lost the sense of "fun" and joi d'vie that the classic Bond films had. If you like tense, depressing and cynical then this is your film. If you like some bubbles in your drinks... pass on it.

Summary: Die Another Day- So you'll live to die another day.
Review: Die Another Day, the 20th Bond installment is for the most part entertaining. The best Bond film yet, well I'm not sure. Featuring a great cast including Halle Berry, Rick Yune, Toby Stephens, Rosamund Pike, Judi Dench and John Cleese as well as Diretor Lee Tamahori (Along Came A Spider, The Edge).
Pierce Brosnan reprises his role as the secret agent James Bond 007, which he still aces. Bond is trouble when he learns he's been betrayed, soon he embarks on a craz North Korean (Rick Yune) who has an accomplice, our villan Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens). Graves has a sophisticated weapon, a laser satellite and wants complete dominance over the world. The movie's plot isn't totally original or intelligent but it still works. Bond is on the trail with an assitant, our new, gorgeous Bond girl Halle Berry playing an NSA agent named Jinx. The film features a few remarkable sets and locations including a set consisting of ice. The gadgets aren't too amazing, mainly the car, the Aston Martin Vanquish with a unique invisibility mechanism. Gadget guru John Cleese and Judi Dench as "M" sparkle.
Die Another Day is rated PG-13 for Action Violence and Sexuality. The film is abundant in terms of violence, including gunplay, swordplay, a hovercraft and car chase and fistfights. There is also a decent amount of sexual innuendo, and non-explicit sexual situations but rather steamy and erotic. Worth seeing, I saw it in theatres and was glad I did and now own it on DVD. DVD has a lot of features and is a two-disc set. Purchase or atleast rent.

Summary: Gotta Love James Bond
Review: Pierce Brosnan pulls it off yet again in his latest portrayal of Bond, James Bond.
"Die Another Day" is full of action (it's James Bond, what did you expect?), but at points the storyline becomes a little dry. Halle Berry plays "Jinx," one of James', err, "friends" in the movie. She does an excellent job as the latest "Bond Girl" and is a HUGE asset to the film itself.
The story itself in general is actually quite a good one, one of the best in my opinion. However, particular scenes seem to drag on for much longer than they should, leaving the audience checking their watches every now and then. Overall, however, the latest Bond flick is a good one and fits in perfectly to any avid James Bond fan's collection. (And if for some reason you don't like Halle Berry, don't worry...there is an incredible blonde in the film also =).
The 2 DVD set comes w/ hours upon hours of extra footage and things along those lines. It's a good choice for any action lover or James Bond fanatic.

Summary: Where's Stephanie Zimbalist When You Need Her...?
Review: ...Halle Berry fans are gonna hate me for saying this, but this movie was like "Halle Berry has a cameo in a James Bond film? Ke-ull!" Period. Yeah, she looked great. But what James bond movie doesn't hame good looking ladies in it I askya? And to her credit, she kicked a lil butt, too. But like many of today's action films the emphasis is on *action* not chemistry between the majors, not character development. The banter between Halle and Brosnan was too corny for even James Bond standards. And the chemistry? They had as much chemistry with each other as two lovers the morning after a one night stand and the daylight is showing a bit more than needed. (Hey, wait a minute. Lemme rethink this analogy.) (Forget it.) Anyhoo, we know she can do the witty repartee thing 'cause we saw it in Boomerang and later on in The Flintstones. And Pierce? Banter was his middle name on the television series Remington Steele. We want to see that Je ne sais Qua between our majors. What happened here? Well, for one thing, there was over sixty minutes of non-stop action...groovy ice capades, fun and games in Korea, clowning and cloning and makeovers in Cuba and sparring with two ladies called M. Plus, I daresay Pierce would prefer to be seen nowadays as a Serious Auct-torah as he moves into the Sean Connery graduation stage of his career. Maybe next he'll do a remake of Zardoz, who knows? But for non-stop fun where the hero kills all the bad guys, destroys the massive headquarters of the villians, again saves the world form certain annihilation and then has time to bury the female lead with loads of jewels in a love nest, you cannot beat this...

Summary: Best Bond in a while
Review: The ante for just about everything has been upped for Die Another Day; the 20th film in the James Bond film franchise. Pierce Brosnan once again reprises his role as the suave secret agent as we find him imprisoned and tortured in a Korean prison camp for 14 months (which begins with a slam bang action sequence). Later on, Bond is out for revenge against his betrayers, and soon runs into the mysterious Jynx (Halle Berry) who herself is a spy with an agenda. Brosnan is at his usual best as 007, while Berry provides ample eye candy, but her acting talents aren't necessarily put to use. The rest of the cast includes the returning Judi Dench and John Cleese as M and Q respectively, and also Toby Stephens, Rosamund Pike, Rick Yune, Michael Madsen, and Colin Salmon. Director Lee Tamahori manages to keep the film packed with enough momentum even without action on the screen, and even as the action scenes and situations borderline on the ridiculous, you can't help but keep yourself glued to the screen. Die Another Day is far from being the best Bond film, but compared to the previously disappointing The World is Not Enough, this is far superior. MGM has assembled a fantastic DVD package here; Disc 2 is packed with loads of special features while the film itself looks and sounds fantastic.

Summary: The first Bond of the twenty-first century
Review: How does the twentieth Bond flick hold up? If you're wondering, this is more closer to 3.8 stars than four.
Once again, the monotone, robotic Pierce Bronsan is cast as James Bond. Though his performance in "Goldeneye" was his best, Bronsan tries hard with this one and it shows, and that's not a good thing.
When watching "Die Another Day", you may get the feeling you have watched it before. No......not all Bond flicks were the same. It's because "Die Another Day" has completly NO orignial plot! Believe it or not, much of the plot is from previous Bond flicks. After the amazing pre-credits sequence and an akward theme song, Bond quits the MI6 and becomes a rouge. This was borrowed from the far superior "Licence to Kill", Obviously, "Licence to Kill" writers were a heck of a lot smarter than those of "Die Another Day". Then there was the diamond smuggling, which also came from a so-called "flawed" Bond flick, "Diamonds are Forever". The icy car chase came from yet another far superior Bond flick "The Living Daylights", although "The Living Daylights" did it much better. Finally the final plane fight was so totally a "Goldfinger" rip-off. Again, they turned to "The Living Daylights" for part of the plane fight.
I don't see the fuss about Halle Berry being a Bond girl. She's kinda like all the others. She's hot & super sexy, she can fight, she screams, she gets captured. In a way, she's a contrived Pussy Galore/ Holly Goodhead.
The villians were so preditible and were not threating at all. They were downright laughible. They were too un-realistic to keep you awake at night the way Carl Stromberg, Franz Sanchez, Dr. No, Auric Goldfinger, and Oddjob did well.
If you can get past all the flaws, there is a smeary gem in this film. It certainly is watch-able. The Bond movies really started to go downhill after "Goldneye", and I don't think Bronsan can save it anymore. Perhaps they should re-hire Timothy Dalton.
