Die Another Day
 
Went to a 5pm show of 007 in Die Another Day earlier today with a friend.

Overall the movie does what it's supposed to: Entertain the audience. There are the classic Bond one-liners (sexual innuendos included), more action than you've EVER seen in a James Bond flick, subtle (but effective) humor, and plenty of scenes that are borderline 'cheesy' but work nontheless. Oh, and the girls in this one can act (unlike Denise Richards of 'The World is Not Enough'). Some notable scenes include the opening (as usual), the fencing match, and what I like to call 'Aston Martin vs. Jaguar ON ICE'.

You should definately go see this movie...it's fun. It has just enough realism and credibility to take it seriously, and enough corny one liners and subtle humor to have a few laughs. It's definately a modernized Bond, and yet it stays very true to its roots. Memorable scenes and believable acting performances make this one of the better 007 films, and arguably (and in my opinion, as much as I liked Goldeneye) Brosnan's best.

4/5, or

Yep, it's a Bond film. It's suprising how they can keep their style up. :D

Let's hope Brosnan decides to stay; I always found him as a great Bond.

I'm probably going to see it soon.

Bond 11-22-2002 10:15 PM

Welp, I'm going to go see it this weekend. :)

i'm not that much of a bond fan to pay to watch it, i'll just wait for it to come out to PPV in like a mont or 2 then watch it.

GameMaster 11-23-2002 12:04 AM

I'm gonna see it this week sometime.

DeathsHand 11-23-2002 01:09 AM

I saw it too! Only I saw the 1 o clock show before most of you were even out of school SO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA god I'm such a loser...

but it's a good movie!

Even Pierce Brosnan said he thinks this is the best one he's done... Although he probably said that about each one ;)

But yes go see it or I'll like glare at you or something...

It won't be out here until Januari 3! :lol:
They think they have too much competition in Holland with LotR, HP and perhaps some Dutch movies.. I dunno.

*begins singing the corny die another day theme song*

*po chika die.....another day....*

...

I will probably see it eventually...dunno when really...*shrugs* Im in no hurry...Ive never really liked the Bond movies, some were Alright I guess, but nothing great.

I really wanted to see this last night, but we saw Friday After Next, instead (free tickets, choice wasn't up to me). I really want to see Die Another Day..... But the only thing that I hate about it allready is the song.... It is horrible.


Why can't they bring MCartney back to sing a song? That would rock.

Saw it today. Best bond since goldeneye (that's not saying very much.) I thought it was pretty cool, but meh overall. Way to many cheesy one liners (most if not all of haley barry's are vomit inducing.) It reminded me a bit of moonraker in so much that it had a heavy SciFi tone to it.

Overall, not bad, but not very good either.

Joeiss 11-24-2002 09:15 AM

I heard that there was a lot of product placement in this movie... So like, were there lots of advertising for products in the movie?

Joeiss 11-24-2002 11:57 AM

Oh, I heard differently.

:p
