O ovom filmu

When his top-secret mission is sabotaged, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) finds himself captured by the enemy, abandoned by MI6 and stripped of his 00-license. Determined to get revenge, Bond goes head-to-head with a sultry spy (Oscar® winner* Halle Berry), a frosty agent (Rosamund Pike) and a shadowy billionaire (Toby Stephens) whose business is diamonds but whose secret is a diabolical weapon that could bring the world to its knees! Bristling with excitement and bursting with explosive special effects, Die Another Day is an adrenaline-pumping thrill-ride with "stunts and non-stop action [that] will astonish you" (Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV)! *2001: actress, Monster's Ball

I've convinced myself that the Peirce Brosnan Bond dies while being tortured shortly after the beginning, and the entire movie after is just a delusion of a broken Bond in his final days of life. Imagining MI6 trading him back for the criminal he was caught pursuing, and eventually getting the perp back. Everything was just way too overdone, and not believable by any means. Brosnan himself even mentioned in an interview that he found parachute snowboarding on breaking ice a tad ludicrous.

The story is pretty good, but it drowns in the over-the-top special effects and Brosnan was starting to get too old for James Bond. I still like it more than Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace though. It may be the weakest link in the James Bond series, but don't let that discourage you from watching it. It's still quite an enjoyable James Bond film.

As a Diehard fan of the Bond franchise, I can be honest when facing up to the scathing criticism this movie received upon it's release. However, I don't find it to be nearly as unwatchable as either of the Dalton films and I must admit, I have a soft spot for Brosnan's 007. If you dont take it too seriously, Die Another Day can be a fun and exciting "popcorn" film. 4 out of 5 stars!
