Each Bond Man has something to offer the series. There was a handsome & cool Bond - Pierce Brosnan. Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2022 Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013 Die Another Day is often unfairly maligned as derivative of past Bond movies. But that misses the point - as this was the 20th Bond film, released on the 40th anniversary of the first one (Dr. No 1962) this movie intentionally pays homage to the past, as noted in Michael Kelley's write-up. As it turned out, paying tribute to Bond's past was especially important here, as the series was "rebooted" from scratch after this one, with Daniel Craig in the lead role. So Die Another Day is both an homage to the past, as well as the end of an era - who wouldn't want to see that? As a stand-alone Bond movie (i.e. disregarding the connections with the past), this is somewhat above average in my view. But it's the connections with the past that move it significantly higher than that. The connections are too numerous to mention them all, but consider - WARNING, MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD - - At one point, Bond pretends to be an ornithologist, this is a reference to the fact that the original "James Bond" was an actual American ornithologist, who Ian Fleming respected and who's name was borrowed for his protagonist. - Halle Berry appears out of the water in a swimsuit, a la "Dr. No". - There is a diamond-studded space-ray, a la "Diamonds Are Forever". - There's a use of lasers that reminds one of the famous "Goldfinger" scene. - Many of the past technology gadgets are seen again (including at least two that I recognized from "Thunderball"), and comments are made by Q's replacement which mirror Q's from the past. - Speaking of technology/gadgets, some reviewers have derided the "invisible car". I have no problem with the car, and I give credit to it being an Aston-Martin (albeit a new one) - a nod Bond's first gadget-laden car from "Goldfinger". I believe it's the first time an A-M has been featured since "Goldfinger", probably the best-loved film of the series. - The connections to the past are endless, far more than I have revealed above (a connection with "The Spy Who Loved Me" is especially memorable). At one point I could even swear I saw one of that bad guys stroking a hand-held controller in much the way that Blofeld stroked his cat in various Bond films. A true Bond nut could probably find dozens of connections, and still miss a few of them. How great is that for the 20th film, 40-year anniversary? As far as the plot itself, making North Korean military leaders the bad guys was a great idea, something that still works today. This is also easily the most technology laden Bond film, as the reboot with Daniel Craig sought to reduce the technology role. And yet Bond is also very physical in this film, much like Connery and Dalton. This is Pierce Brosnan's best acting work as Bond; I thought he was weak in Goldeneye, but grew into the role, getting better each time. There are some lesser points of course. The ending was not particularly strong IMO, though there was another nice homage to "Goldfinger" involving the airplane. There's a ridiculous moment where Bond "para-surfs" on a wave of water; someone here suggested that was itself an homage to some of the more ridiculous moments in the Moore films, maybe so. Like it or not, it lasts less than 15 seconds; I try not to let it detract from the rest of the film. There are almost always "cartoonish" moments in these films, but that scene may be the most cartoonish one of all. At least it's memorable; memorably bad! Some people have objected to the ice hotel as unrealistic - I don't know where they've been, because there are actual ice hotels (built new every year in winter), mainly in Scandinavian countries (and this one is in Iceland, so it fits). Some people also object to the gene-therapy used to change appearances. Sure that's far fetched, but it could also be an homage to Bond's own appearance change in "You Only Live Twice". All in all, this is not to be missed, for those who have seen all the Bond films that went before it. It does not work as well though if you haven't seen the earlier ones, so don't make this the first Bond film you see. Best to view the other ones first, then this becomes the real treat that it was meant to be. Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2022 The scene develpment on this was better than any prior release and they managed to go more than 15 min into the movie without bond slaying a girl. Ms. Berry added a nice twist to the movie. I still don't understand why Bond gets caught by the bad guys so often in these movies. Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2022 I don't know how I missed this one when it was released. Perhaps it was because the whole idea of 007 was already a dead issue in 2002. Really 40 years after the first James Bond movie (Dr. No) with as many as 6 different actors playing the part over the years and almost 50 years after the first Bond book and they still want us to believe these trite lines like "Saved by the bell" are somehow funny. At this point they're beyond sophomoric. After not watching any Bond films for more than 20 years and then trying to pick up on this one, it is quite obvious to see the degredation in the storyline and in the character development. It really is the same old movie done over and over with a new set of players. But somehow what worked well in 1962 comes across as a sham in 2002. Bond just goes through the motions. When they coined the phrase; 'cookie cutter formula' they must have had the bond series in mind. Honestly, non-stop action left me bored to death and wanting something totally un-Bond. This film actually reminded me of the same type of degredation we used to get when photocopying a photocopy which had already been copied and with each generation, the quality became lesser and lesser until there just wasn't any quality left. They've copied the original Bond so many times now with so many different actors and writers that there just isn't any Bond left in the Bond movies. Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2022 The first fifty minutes or so of Die Another Day has promise: captured by the enemy in North Korea and tortured, Bond is the victim of a conspiracy; a mole in Mi6. Back among "friends," Bond turns his attention to revenge and uncovering the person responsible for blowing his cover. Once the film introduces Gustav Graves, however, the film takes on an increasingly silly tone at the same time betraying a kind creative timidity; it lacks confidence in its initial choices and descends into a kind of black ops burlesque. Brosnan is OK this last time out, but there's not enough of the traditional elements to sustain him. Halle Berry is also serviceable as Jinx, but there's no great degree of chemistry with Brosnan. Miranda Frost, played by Rosamund Pike, is the more interesting of the two "Bond girls." On the villain/plot side Die Another Day is remarkably weak, borrowing what looks like elements from 1997's flop Batman & Robin: diamonds, a power suit, and the use of a satellite for destructive purposes. There's also an ice palace, a Vanquish-Jaguar car chase, a fist fight in a room filled with lasers, surfing, and a scene in which Bond parachutes away from a tsunami; none of it is particularly engaging, and it all just adds minutes to an already overly long movie. Top reviews from other countries2.0 out of 5 stars Die Another Day is DUD Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2018 Die Another Day 5.0 out of 5 stars Rollicking Good Bond Adventure Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2018 It's probably not the best of the Bond films, but fun it is. Pierce Brosnan as Bond is sexy as hell and he is visibly enjoying himself in one of the most over the top adventures in the series - surfing a tsunami, no less. Add to that the amazing Halle Berry as Bond girl, John Cleese as Q and an invisible car, and you get a highly enjoyable action flick, albeit a rather campy one. I, for one, loved it. Great entertainment all round. 4.0 out of 5 stars Great condition Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2020 Item arrived on time and in good condition. I was concerned the tape would be damaged but it played as well as an VHS could. This also completed my Pierce Brosnan 007 collection. 5.0 out of 5 stars now thats bond Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2021 what a great james bond a truly exciting film 5.0 out of 5 stars Good action film Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2019 This was a very good bond movie that pierce brosnan made and also his last and I thought this was nearly as good as his first film which was goldeneye Which Bond was in Die Another Day?As well as marking Pierce Brosnan's fourth and final outing as 007, Die Another Day is the 20th James Bond film, released 40 years on from Dr No.
Will Daniel Craig do another Bond after No Time to Die?Daniel Craig's final movie as James Bond was last year's No Time to Die. The next installment in the James Bond film series will look nothing like the saga has ever seen before. Barbara Broccoli, one of the franchise's lead producers, recently told Deadline that the next 007 movie will be a "reinvention of Bond."
Who is going to be the next James Bond?Advertisement: The three actors that have claimed the top spots from several betting outlets are Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, and Rege-Jean Page. Henry Cavill is known for his recurring role as Superman in DC Comics movies, as well as his starring role in Netflix's “The Witcher” as Geralt, the white wolf.
How old is James Bond in Die Another Day?Over the following decade he held onto the character through three more outings, with the actor being 44 by the release of 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies, 46 by the time 1999's The World Is Not Enough came out, and a Roger Moore-worthy 49 when 2002's Die Another Day brought his time as Bond to an end.
