There may be some of you that love Bond films, well I love them to, yet only the original few. Since then the series has just gone into a somewhat chip pan state, where every few turns at a Bond film will make an ok one. Nothing special.

Not to many spoilers, you can read ahead, just an opinion.

I find it impossible to enjoy a bad film, even if it is a Bond film that is what some people would call 'SUPPOSED TO BE BAD'. Fact is, Bond films haven't always had the bad scripts, a few of them have been very good and worth the two hours of life to sit through. Its true, Bond effects have never been the best and added gadgets and 'never done before' stunts are introduced. THE ONLY REASON nobody had done the stunt/s before is because its a crappy one second stunt.

Oh oh! Lemme ask a question! Who here has seen the Aston Martin flip over on the ice. Well... don't bother going to watch the film. Thats about the main stunt. At least the effects could have stood up to date and stayed with the other films that are around. Especially as its trying to be an action film of some sort.

Simple fact, no matter what any of you lot will shout back. Die Another Day is a bad film. A waste of budget and your money. If you enjoy it, its still a bad bad film, and nothing I will ever look to want to make.


Its as bad as XXX. And thats saying something. Terrible, crap, bad films.

Urgh.

Realistically, Bond would have fallen out with his seat, smashed his head open on the ice, be shot by the strange faced guy, who would die as well, and then all of the film's characters, cast and crew would die a horrible death. Except for Michael Madsen, I see a Reservoir Dogs 2 coming...

Yeah, the funny thing is, that the way he flips the car over wouldnt work. Iam assuming it is the ejector seat thats supposed to do it. But as the seat would have no purchase on the car when it hit the ice, it would strike the ice and then fly to the back of the car, and thats just not cricket.

You idiots, he's not saying Bond should die, it's German!

It actually says, 'The Bond, The'.

The second surfing bit was so, like, annoying, like. Goldeneye was good, but this had the dialogue of a porn film without porn.

It would have been good if Halle Berry walked around all the time in that swimming costume and that Frost woman walked around in that cheeky little costume she had on at the end.

That would make good watching.

Just seen it, it ain't bad but it ain't good. I wouldn't say it was complete crap, I mean it's an old theme still running, they're probably just trying to do something different to your generic Bond film.

Although they did balls a few things up. Where's my original, recognisable Bond theme, tut tut.

Start was great, lots of explosions, another nice bit was chase on the Ice track and smashing up the Ice Hotel Place. Storyline went a bit pap half way through mind. Still not too Shabby, long live Goldeneye.

I liked it. But I liked Waterworld, so my opinion is crap.

If you don't like it within halve an hour you can get refund.

Sad thing is, the grit and beginning was actually quite good.

Then it went so downhill it was like trying to eat air.
