Die Another Day (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

...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 ...

Review of Die Another Day (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

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 ...

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 ...
