    Died on its arse. The worst Bond film to date!
  • December 17, 2008
    James Bond movies are supposed to be over the top fare with gadgets and such that are unbelievable. Die Another Day makes the cardinal mistake of throwing too much into itself. The plot involves Bond (Pierce Brosnan) going after a diamond miner/publicity hunter who may have ties ...( read more)to the North Korean military.

    By this film it seems as though Brosnan has tired of the role. It's paint by numbers time it seems as he goes through the motions of another 007 caper. Halle Berry looks even more bored than Brosnan in the film offering what at first seems like a large role, but turns out to be more of a nuisance.

    Invisible cars, DNA transplants, Bond stopping his heart, and a weapon borrowed straight out of Goldeneye make this a very dull film indeed. And Madonna probably has the worst cameo in film history.

    Theme song wasn't that bad. Overall it was pretty good other than the whole ice thing and invisable car.

    You know some Bond fans are crazy when they prefer this abomination over Casino Royale.

    "Events don't get any bigger than..."

    Pierce Brosnan makes his fourth appearance as suave super-spy James Bond in this espionage thriller, the 20th film in the official Bond series. While on assignment in North Korea, Bond is captured by government agents, where he's impr...( read more)isoned and tortured for over a year. When Bond finally wins his freedom, not everyone is certain 007 is still capable of doing the job, but after Zao (Rick Yune), the North Korean operative who snared Bond, is discovered to be in cahoots with unscrupulous entrepreneur Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens), Bond is back on the case, and he finds the two men have sinister plans which could decide the fate of the world. As Bond hops from England to Cuba to Korea to Iceland in pursuit of his quarry, he (as usual) makes the acquaintance of two beautiful and mysterious women, Jinx (Halle Berry) and Miranda Frost (Rosamund Pike).

    Review
    I liked that Die Another Day was like a love letter to Bond films: it has silly action and a "golden gun" like from the Roger Moore days, solid punches, potential laser dismemberment, and an Aston Martin from Connery, many interesting elements...but ultimately not very interesting. And why doesn't Bond remember events from past films like when he smelled Klebbs' shoe like he didn't know why it was dangerous (poison?) It's like there's a vat of Bonds being grown somewhere and each one is given just enough info to continue as the next Bond. Die Another Day packs much into it, but was spread a little too thin.

    Great Bond film, and Brosnan's final one as Bond.
  • November 4, 2009
    This does not count as a Bond movie.
  • October 31, 2009
    Excellent movie to watch.

Critic Reviews

David Edelstein, Slate

That this Bond will be smarter is clear from its title sequence, which leaves you both shaken and stirred. full review

November 22, 2002
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The film is so fraught with explosions and chases that the action eventually feels numbing. full review

November 22, 2002
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Die Another Day never quite finds real excitement or genuine wit. full review

November 22, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This movie has the usual impossible stunts ... But it has just as many scenes that are lean and tough enough to fit in any modern action movie. full review

November 21, 2002
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

It's flawed, but it's the best 007 flick in 20 years. full review

November 21, 2002
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

The most satisfying Bond movie since The Spy Who Loved Me. full review

November 20, 2002
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Brosnan, in his fourth time up at the Bond bat, hits this one out of the park. full review
