Review of Die Another Day

8/10
Despite its less-than-stellar reputation, I really enjoyed rewatching Die Another Day

When I first watched this James Bond flick with some friends at a movie theatre 20 years ago, I remember enjoying it a lot! Now that I know that it's considered perhaps the least enjoyable among some Bond fans and that it has perhaps the most ridiculous of plots especially concerning some of the gadgets (i.e. An invisible car) and some of the CGI (i.e. The skydiving scene) are especially noticeable, well, I still highly enjoy it! I mean, Pierce Brosnan was still aces as Bond in what turned out to be his final outing as such, Halle Berry made a fine Bond Girl who more than matched him in intense action scenes, Rosamund Pike was also good as a fellow agent who...well, I don't want to reveal too much. Oh, and John Cleese, in his second Bond appearance, was also good for some laughs as the new Q, though this turned out to be his last time in the series. Director Lee Tamahori stages great action scenes almost non-stop making such an entertaining romp throughout! Oh, and I also liked Madonna's cameo before the fencing scene especially her exit line! And I also thought her title song was pretty cool especially during images of Pierce being...okay, I'll just now say that Mom and I really enjoyed Die Another Day and leave it at that! P. S. Deborah Moore, daughter of previous JB Roger, was the flight attendant serving Brosnan on a British Airways plane.
