Like most Bond outings in recent years, some of the stunts are so outlandish that they border on being cartoonlike. A heavy reliance on CGI technology is beginning to creep into the series.

Reviews for Die Another Day
Make it half an hour shorter, and it's the perfect Bond flick.
11/21/02
You leave feeling like you've endured a long workout without your pulse ever racing.

Top CriticDoesn't fully recapture the magic of the Connery films, but avoids the torpor which has afflicted most of the later ones...there's a pulse in the old boy yet.
11/21/02
Regaining his bearings after that “look how angry I can be” turn in The World Is Not Enough, Brosnan finally plays Bond as if he no longer has anything to prove.
11/21/02
More sexual innuendos than the last ten Bond pictures combined.
11/21/02
Visually stylish.

I can hear the collective sighs of little boys and little boys-at-heart across the world: “Whoooaaaaaa. Cooooool.”

A thunderous ride at first, quiet cadences of pure finesse are few and far between; their shortage dilutes the potency of otherwise respectable action. Still, this flick is fun, and host to some truly excellent sequences.

Disappointing ... [it] just lumbers along until periodically someone calls for the stunt men and women.
11/21/02
After a summer of tired spoofs and lame imitations, it's nice to sit back and enjoy a movie that's Bond, pure Bond.
11/21/02
This is a train wreck of an action film -- a stupefying attempt by the filmmakers to force-feed James Bond into the mindless XXX mold and throw 40 years of cinematic history down the toilet in favor of bright flashes and loud bangs.
11/21/02
Top CriticThe first Bond movie in ages that isn't fake fun.
11/21/02
Top Critic“Die Another Day” is a worthy entry in the pantheon of James Bond movies.
11/21/02
License to kill? Bond has a license to offer barely adequate entertainment.
11/21/02
Berry's saucy, full-bodied performance gives this aging series a much needed kick, making "Die Another Day" one of the most entertaining Bonds in years
11/20/02
Neal Purvis and Robert Wade mix a relevant story with clever tributes to franchise films. Their robust throwback obviously ensures Bond will survive on screen way beyond “Another Day.”
11/20/02
Brosnan, in his fourth time up at the Bond bat, hits this one out of the park.
11/20/02
Top CriticWhile 'Die' is hardly in a class with the best Bond blockbusters, it's a substantial improvement on the thoroughly mediocre 1999 installment 'The World is Not Enough'...
11/20/02
Oh, James! Your 20th outing shows off a lot of stamina and vitality, and get this, Madonna’s cameo doesn’t suck!
