James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is captured by North Korean agents and must serve a grueling prison sentence. He's finally released, and is convinced that someone in his own agency betrayed him. He escapes from custody and travels to Cuba, hot on the heels of Zao (Rick Yune), the agent who put Bond behind bars. Meanwhile, Bond begins romancing NSA agent Jinx (Halle Berry) as he uncovers a scheme concocted by Zao and British millionaire Graves (Toby Stephens), involving a highly destructive laser.

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.

2.5/5

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.

Possibly one of the most unintentionally hilarious blockbuster movies ever made. Such huge effort clearly went into making this and yet it's so blind to its own ridiculousness, but it just makes it so entertaining. The fact it starts off so gritty and then pulls the rug under you with DNA face replacements, one villain with diamonds embedded in his face (which he seems to not realise) and another who wears an Iron Man style suit while acting like an irritatingly cocky guy you once knew at work. The whole act in the ice palace is genuinely pretty unique, even if such a crazy idea for a Bond movie. It's a bad movie, but in the best way.

Despite some poorly aged CGI and bizarre themes, Die Another Day's use of memorable set pieces and an invisible Aston Martin makes it admittedly enjoyable.

Idc what people have to say and how stupid, silly, or ridiculous it is. It's good fun with good villains and GREAT action. Call me simple minded but I thought the movie was a real thrill! The Bond woman wasn't too bad either and had some badass moments! It's too bad that Pierce Brosnan only did 4 Bond movies, I really liked them!!
