 "So you live to Die Another Day?" -James Bond 007 | |
| The 20th and most fantastic movie to enter the series in a long time! Packed with evil villians, sexy girls, gadgets galore and the classic one-liners from the most famous spy of all time- it doesn't get any better than that. First the villians- Gustav Graves is a snotty, arrogant and show-off to the public and is bent on world domination with his super weapon- the Icarus. He duels 007 with fencing swords and lives in style in his Ice palace in Iceland. Zao is the henchmen who is scarred with diamond shrapnel and has a personal goal to kill 007. And, finally is my favorite character in the movie- the stunning Miranda Frost! She is the athletic, cunning, mysterious, extremely sexy ice princess that gives Bond the ice treatment in her regard to her extreme hate of him. a world-class fencer, and collaborator with Gustav, she battles with Jinx aboard the Antonov plane, and ultimately meets her end. (Darn!, I really liked her, She really is hot!) The other main Bond girl is Jinx, who works as a team with Bond, and battles along with him. David Arnold gives his finest perfromance, with his best 007 soundtrack ever! Madonna gives the most different, but one of the best title songs ever also. This film has many references to the past because of the 40th anniversary of the films. Here are a few--- -look for 007 holding the book Birds Of The West Indies by James Bond. -007 steals a grape a la` Thunderball -the WWII cigarettes poster that Domino loved from Thunderball -Duke of Wellington statue in teaser a la` like the picture in Dr. No | |
 A hi-tech insult to Ian Fleming | |
| The return of James Bond is always an anticipated event. When 'Die Another Day' came out, expectations grew, knowing it was the 20th Bond movie to be released in the ever-going series. Pierce Brosnan reprises the role of 007 once again, but his age is very noticeable here. Bond seems to have immatured, somewhat returning to the campy, comic-book style ego of the Roger Moore days. What's even more disappointing is that 007 has gone way too hi-tech, it's become evident this is no longer the original Ian Fleming creation we have all come to know. The story itself is just a reworking of the plots found in 'Diamonds Are Forever' and 'GoldenEye'. The dialogue is boiled down to constant childish one-liners and James isn't the same cool, charming and intelligent spy he used to be, being heavily dependent on gadgets and guns instead of brains. Halle Berry as Jinx feels like she belongs in another movie and her presence serves no purpose to the story. You get smacked in the face with loads of special effects, and the movie is so technologically annoying. Genetically altered villians? Weapon-enhanced cars that don't dent? Also, the part where James hang-glides off the cliff and water-skis is the most laughable scene in 007 history. 'Die Another Day' also contains the worst theme song of any Bond movie, and David Arnold's score isn't quite up to par. The only thing great about this movie is the nostalgic elements they integrated from previous Bond films. If you're a big fan of action, women, cars, guns and explosions, you may enjoy 'Die Another Day'. However, seasoned 007 fans may want to wait for Bond's next outing. As the 20th installment in a long-running series, this was a disappointment. | |
