The 20th James Bond adventure, Die Another Day succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to Austin Powers by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy and worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan's got style and staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to Ian Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's paired with American agent Jinx (Berry) in chasing a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything. John Cleese and Judi Dench reprise their recurring roles (as "Q" and "M," respectively); they're accompanied by weapons-laden sports cars, a hokey cameo by Madonna (who sings the techno-pulsed theme song), and enough double-entendres to keep Bond-philes adequately shaken and stirred. With clever nods to 007's cinematic legacy, Die Another Day makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond will return. --Jeff Shannon

Brosnan's Final Bow November 25, 2008
I decided to rewatch Pierce Brosnan's Bond swan song once again to see if it was as bad as so many seem to think it is. I had much warmer memories of it myself. Unfortunately I must conclude that it really IS that bad--at least the second half. The compelling opening sequence features a vulnerable 007 being tortured by the North Korean army and even boasts a cane-seat chair, though it's not put to such sinister use as the one Daniel Craig sat on. I happen to like Madonna's driving-techno titular theme theme song as much as I like "You Know My Name", which is bunches. Halle Berry is lovely to look at, but as Jinx receives no assistance from a script that requires her to deliver lines like "Ornithologist, huh? Now there's a mouthful" while staring at 007's crotch. The thrust-and-parry of sexual inneudo between Bond and his ladies has always been one of the hallmarks of the series, but here they overdo it in extremis. What is supposed to be sparkling repartee falls flat as a bored and weary-looking Brosnan delivers the Bond bons mots with nary a twinkle. It almost looks as though he could be thinking, "My God, I'm old enough to be her dad." Their bedroom scene does have the requisite zest, proving that Brosnan's 007 was hardly ready for pasture, but rather an unfortunate victim of timing and increasingly lousy scripts. Brosnan was a capable physical actor, but was hampered by overbloated CGI; the fight sequences here are painfully faked up, unlike the Craig era where the punches seem all too bone-crunchingly real. Quizzically, two of the crafters behind the superb "Casino Royale" script, Neil Purvis and Robert Wade, are also responsible for this turkey. Upon moving to the centerpiece Icelandic sequence, which goes on for an eternity, DAD rivals "Moonraker" for Most Cheesy Sci-Fi Moments Ever. John Cleese provides all-too-brief comic relief; having fully succeeded the late Desmond Llewellyn in the role, he is no longer 'R' but has been fully promoted to 'Q', which stands for 'Quartermaster'--duh, of course! My favorite moment is a steamy makeout session between Bond and Moneypenney that is no less scorching for being all in her head, compliments of a virtual simulator. Or should I say 'stimulator'? Brosnan may have been supplanted by a worthy successor in Daniel Craig, but silly scripts and ridiculous CGI aside, he is still capable of leaving me both shaken and stirred.
 James BOMBED... November 23, 2008

Wow. This was cinematic vomit for sure. I saw Quantum of Solace earlier tonight and it was kickarse. Since this was on TV I decided to watch it since there was nothing else... and boy, this movie SUCKED!!!!!! Worst 007 movie ever. There's so many bad things about the movie I'm not even kidding. Such as:
- The Gunbarrel opening scene- stupid bullet and the calypso version of the theme...
- That god-awful Madonna song... Techno and Bond do NOT mix!
- Halle Barry. Wasted actress. She was AWFUL as a Bond girl. Sure she was hot, but she was AWFUL.
- CG CG everywhere... I'm not lying, this is the most godawful CG-laden film I've ever seen. The plane??? The scorpions??? That car???
- The stupid vanishing car.
- LAME WRITING. I don't think I've ever met someone named "Mr. Kil"
- The lair looked like a disco with lasers everywhere
- As if Madonna's theme wasn't bad enough, her totally pointless cameo. Not only did she suck, but did Tom Jones or Shirley Bassey get a cameo???
There's more I can name, but there's WAY too many...

Bond fan since DR No. I enjoyed this, mostly. Bond being tortured/rough handled made for a fuller story arc. The many references to earlier Bond films was fun. Exciting sword fight. I personally volunteer to thaw out the frigid Miranda Frost. Halle Berry was a full character, part of the story, not just a side dish. I enjoyed Bond entering the lobby of the fancy hotel, dripping wet wearing only pajama-bottoms, initially dismissed, ultimately.

 For people curious about the BLURAY version October 22, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
First off I had to do a firmware upgrade just to play the movie.
Two stars given because the movie is so good.
I would give it one for the bluray disc.
There isnt one scene minus the opening titles that stands out clearity.
I had high hopes for this bluray.
MGM usually has a fantastic bluray disc. Just look at "FROM HELL".
This IS NOT a crystal clear picture.
This looks as good as any other dvd copy.
There is black static throughout. You can notice it in the background. Its the actual copy of the film. This wasnt remastered for bluray.
I am a huge supporter of blu but when a movie comes out and its a waste of your money I will review, I.E. The Italian Job remake. HORRIBLE.
Like I said. No need to spend money on this double dip. It is not a crystal clear version.
