BOND: DIE ANOTHER DAY(2002)
Bond! James Bond!
.
This isn't as bad as I once thought! Though some of the
"special effects" are quite hokey! Still and all, this is the
last Pierce Brosnan Bond, and he still is one of the best
Bond's, ever! Halle Berry was ok in this as the "love interest",
but not the greatest. This has the last appearance of
John Cleese as Q. Toby Stevens is an adequate villain, with
Rosamund Pike as his helper doing pretty good!
Sadly, as I said earlier, this is the last of the great Bonds,
as Pierce was replaced after this with Daniel Craig! Bond
will never be the same again!
Also sadly, this also has another crummy theme song sung by
Madonna!! Again, not a fan of hers!! B+
From another reviewer at Amazon:
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
