Die Another Day

Albert R. Boccoli's Eon Production

Starring: Pierce Brosnan Halle Barry Toby Stephens Rick Yune and John Cleese

Written by: Neal Purvis & Robert Wade

Directed by: Lee Tamahori

Plot: James Bond is back for the 20th time. Now he is trying to stop a of course a rich crazy man named Gustav Graves from blowing the 82nd parallel. Oh yeah and Halle Barry comes in and kicks ass a couple times.

Acting: Well its a Bond movie. So I'm not really looking for like great performances to make me like think about life or anything. Brosnan is kick ass there is no debating it. He is the 2nd best Bond and I hope he makes at least three more movies to break Roger Moore's record of seven Bond films. The guys playing the bad guys were good. Stephens was very nasty and stood out as Gustav Graves. It was Rick Yune though who stands out as Zao a guy with diamonds in his face which he got from James Bond. The woman were okay, I personally did not like Barry's character Jinx I think it was put in because some ass hole was like "Bond girls don't do anything we haft to have her kick as much ass as Bond"... Shut up her character got annoying real fast. Rosamund Pike played Maranda Frost and she was too cool.... Haha get it?

Writing/Directing: Pretty good stuff. I like that they have Bond get captured in this movie and he gets beat up a lot which makes him a little more human. The plot was very good it actually surprised me in how good it was. I haft to comment on the intro of the movie. I think I like died they start the movie off with surfing and a hovercraft fight I was going insane. So this movie had a lot of stuff exploding and that made me a happy camper. My only problems with the movie were mainly one scene and the fact that they used slow motion at random times. One scene where the bad guy Zao is walking and they have him go into slow motion I got really confused. The one scene I hated more than anything was just amazingly bad. Okay Bond gets into a super sonic car or some crap and the bad guys shoot at him with a sun beam(pretty cool stuff)but then Bond drives the thing off the cliff of a glacier and uses a parachute and a board and start to parasail over the water. Sounds good right? WRONG the graphics were so bad I was laughing out of control I mean god did no one notice this when they were making the movie? I hope they cut that scene out of the film on the dvd. Now I know I got off topic of writing and directing and I usually do. So altogether good Bond film could have used more gun fights.

Overall: I am a big big big James Bond fan and this was a pretty good one. In the future though stick to live real action the graphics all over this movie were bad. This one was very cute in places I haft to admit I mean... He has an invisible car!!! The old Bond would have somehow driven it into a girls locker room somehow but oh well. One last thing I am very happy they are not trying to cut down on Bond, I mean he still drinks and he smokes cigars and has sex and kills people if that ever changes in the future films I don't think the industry will survive.
