Bond's 40th Anniversary!

Advantages: Classic Bond moments in first half of the film.
Disadvantages: Gadgets ruin the film, as does John Cleese as Q.

...The plot of Die Another Day revolves Bond being captured whilst on an undercover mission in Korea, he is held by the Koreans for a total of 14 months. Eventually he gets traded by the British Government for Zao. A terrorist who originally blew Bond's cover which in turn meant 007 was captured. Being held by the British Government as a traitor, Bond escapes and goes on the search for Zao, to discover exactly who betrayed him to the Koreans. What he ...
...it. The word Die has been used far too much in the films as well, and that's down to the writers, Robert Wade and Neil Purvis have really given it their all and totally gone for the ultimate Bond adventure. What is delivered is a highly entertaining film but so far over the top in the last hour that when watched again for a second or third time(usually on ITV2) the film starts to look more like the Matt Helm films starring Dean Martin from the 1960's ...

Watch Another Day

Advantages: Halle Berry
Disadvantages: Franchise needs to be shaken up, not stirred around

...was the 2002 release of Die Another Day, the last of the films to feature Pierce Brosnan as the infamous womanising secret agent. How does Brosnan bow out of the role of a character that he has indentified himself with for four fully fledged movies? As you would expect, the film begins with a bang as Bond, James Bond, as he tries to outsmart the North Koreans and assassinate Zao (Rick Yune). Of course this leads to a semi-entertaining action sequence, ...
...looking respectable once again. Interesting Die Another Day was not just well slated for its storyline, but also the amount of heavy product placement, and this is just further proven by the example of Bond using a different brand of shaver in the US version of the film to the UK version. I'm not a big James Bond buff in the slightest, in fact this was the first film I'd seen of the series for a very long time, but I do like to find out my trivia ...

Nearly the Death of Bond

Advantages: ....good intro sequence
Disadvantages: Bad plot, bad acting, bad effects, bad direction....bad bad bad

...I went along to Die Another Day in the hope that it would raise the bar back up on the Bond film. How very very wrong I was!!! The now traditional precredits action sequence started very well, and with Bond getting caught, just great. Then came the credits sequence, which despite the dire theme song, was very good, showing Bond being tortured and suffering. This really was showing great promise. Even the first few minutes after the credits were ...
...However, within a few minutes everything had gone to terribly wrong. The storyline was a mess and some of the acting truely terrible!!! The set pieces were fairly spectacular but much to over the top and not really in keeping with what James Bond should be. As the film went on it just got worse and worse, and by the time the end came about, there were two thoughts in my head. 1) Had the director ever ever seen a James Bond film?? It didn't seem ...
