The 20th James Bond adventure, Die Another Day succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to Austin Powers by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy and worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan's got style and staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to Ian Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's paired with American agent Jinx (Berry) in chasing a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything. John Cleese and Judi Dench reprise their recurring roles (as "Q" and "M," respectively); they're accompanied by weapons-laden sports cars, a hokey cameo by Madonna (who sings the techno-pulsed theme song), and enough double-entendres to keep Bond-philes adequately shaken and stirred. With clever nods to 007's cinematic legacy, Die Another Day makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond will return. --Jeff Shannon

Bond fan since DR No. I enjoyed this, mostly. Bond being tortured/rough handled made for a fuller story arc. The many references to earlier Bond films was fun. Exciting sword fight. I personally volunteer to thaw out the frigid Miranda Frost. Halle Berry was a full character, part of the story, not just a side dish. I enjoyed Bond entering the lobby of the fancy hotel, dripping wet wearing only pajama-bottoms, initially dismissed, ultimately.

 For people curious about the BLURAY version October 22, 2008

First off I had to do a firmware upgrade just to play the movie.
Two stars given because the movie is so good.
I would give it one for the bluray disc.
There isnt one scene minus the opening titles that stands out clearity.
I had high hopes for this bluray.
MGM usually has a fantastic bluray disc. Just look at "FROM HELL".
This IS NOT a crystal clear picture.
This looks as good as any other dvd copy.
There is black static throughout. You can notice it in the background. Its the actual copy of the film. This wasnt remastered for bluray.
I am a huge supporter of blu but when a movie comes out and its a waste of your money I will review, I.E. The Italian Job remake. HORRIBLE.
Like I said. No need to spend money on this double dip. It is not a crystal clear version.

A real treat for James Bond Fans. Pierce Brosnan portrays a very
believeable international santioned assain whose top secret mission
is sabatoged and he is stripped of his 00 status. The story line unfolds
with typical Flemming plot line; a must see film.

I try and be as positive and optomistic as I can, so I start on to the good news, and then on to the bad.
THE GOOD: I loved the Christ/Resurrection sub-themes of "D.A.D." intensely. The title itself hints at this broadly. In the prisoner exchange, and for the next 15-odd minutes, Bond's "second life" is quite revealing: the long hair and beard; his tortured body, looking as if he'd been scourged--quite literally, too; the Christ-like dignity of Bond's bearing--heading for even greater sacrifices for the Free World's sins; resurrection/back to life, after a meditation-induced heart attack; and occasionally Pierce holding his body in cruciform poses.
And the spy-bosses acting in (false) judgement, just like Grand Rabbi/Priest Caiaphas and Procurator Pilate. Those would be "M", Falco, and old General Moon.
There are even (Anti-)Christ resurrections amongst the bad guys. Zao and young Moon possibly died, albeit temporarily and then their bodies gutted by DNA therapy, to come back (resurrect), in new identities.
And even a Judas, too, in Ms. Frost.
These sub-theme elements, and other sub-theme elements of increasing sophistication--most notably from Brosnan onwards--is precisely what injects new life into The Bond Franchise, just when I'd thought that the franchise, HAD "died another day"!!
THE BAD: I know it's not my DVD players, but the Comprehensive Audio Track for my particlar (early?) edition was poorly mastered. Dialogue drop-offs; Music Track obscuring dialogue and Sound FX Track at times; Music Track dropping off for Dialogue; Sound FX Track going quiet for the Music Track; and the great bark of Bond's new souped-up Walther sounding more like a 0.22 or pellet pistol! This reason alone, is why I only rate this Three Stars. The Sound Mastering on all the other 19 Bond Title DVD's is perfect, as far as I know. I trust that the Comprehensive Audio Track has been comprehensively Remastered for subsequent DVD and Blu-Ray Editions of "D.A.D.".
