Critics Consensus

Its action may be bit too over-the-top for some, but Die Another Day is lavishly crafted and succeeds in evoking classic Bond themes from the franchise's earlier installments.

It's definitely [Pierce] Brosnan's worst Bond film.

The film is a frantic roller-coaster ride from which you emerge exhausted, with a massive blur in the head.

It's the same old Bond.

The over-reliance on epic CGI effects results in a few chinks in the spectacle (the tidal wave looks like a video game effect), but the thrill-topping succession of death-defying disasters and unbelievable battles... just don’t stop coming.

Producing this milestone film is an unenviable task of immense responsibility. Unfortunately, the result is a clumsy homage –an attempt to concoct a grand confection with ingredients of varied quality and a baker that wasn’t up to the task.

It really doesn't matter how Lee Tamahori directed the film or what Neal Purvis and Robert Wade did with their script because Die Another Day was screwed from the moment that The Bourne Identity opened in theaters.

Rated: 2.5/5

Die Another Day was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the James Bond franchise but unfortunately it damaged the series' reputation despite being a huge hit at the box-office, with a weak story, lazy writing, painfully cheap CGI effects, atrocious editing, unnecessary sex jokes and to add the cherry on top the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is invisible not to mention none of the cast (with the exception of Rosamund Pike & John Cleese) barely even tried with their performances, not even Pierce Brosnan could save this movie cause you can tell his popularity with the franchise had taken a nosedive after "Goldeneye" and Madonna's song Die Another Day is obnoxious despite her harmless cameo, while this movie tries to be cool & hype with the young audiences bun instead it just makes itself look dated.

Honesty, this is a classic, you have got to give kudos for the way the action scenes were orchestrated. Especially the Ice chase. This film here gave the best closing chapter for Boseman role 007.

After reading these reviews I've come to the conclusion that you just don't understand. A bond film is a bond film. Almost all bond movies are great besides the one Sean Connery film where he came back with another studio making it and the two Timothy Dalton movies. Every other bond film does what a bond film does best. Die another day is a 2000s pierce Brosnan finale with HALLE BERRY as the Bond girl. The romance, the action, the story. One of my favorite bond movies out of the whole.

Die another day is one of the weakest in the bond franchise for a number of reasons. First off it has a weird start with bond being tortured and a catchy dance number playing in the background. It has used CGI in most of its action scenes and it doesn't age well. Overall, the film appears to be a little cartoonish and for the most part bland.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
