The Film That Almost Ruined James Bond? - 007 Die Another Day - Movie Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- We are taking a look at 007 Die Another Day. This James Bond movie is often completely hated and looked at very unfavorably. Being the final Pierce Brosnan James Bond film, this movie had a lot to live up to. It was meant to be a sort of James Bond anniversary celebration movie, but instead turned into a film with inconsistent writing, direction and reception. #jamesbond #007 #moviereview

007 Everything or nothing, which I know is a game, but it feels like a movie sequel to this. The movies that I like from pierce are golden eye, tomorrow never dies and world is not enough.
Michael Apted probably couldn't have completely saved it but having him back could have made film more grounded. Tamahori went too above and beyond imo. He kept trying to make every scene feel massive when most things should have been more down to earth.
Yeah, I think that with the same script it would not have saved the movie from the criticism received, but I do think that it might’ve helped it have a more grounded feeling in reality after the changes that 9/11 made to the entertainment industry and peoples understanding of governments and military, etc. I’m not sure what you would do about the Icarus space laser, though. No matter what that’s kind of out there for the time.
Ummm The World Is Not Enough was pretty out there
Die Another Day is bad but a huge guilty pleasure of mine. Most of the first hour or so is great but it goes off the rails once we arrive at Iceland (minus the car chase).
Brosnans first 3 films are excellent, though!
Same! It's a shame Brosnan gets a bad rap just because of 1 movie. People act like the rest of them were bad because of this one. I've heard people even say GoldenEye is his only good film. I just don't get it!
@@hughmunguss5338Do people discount Tomorrow Never Dies too? I always found TND to be almost up there with Goldeneye. TWINE is still pretty good but is definitely the lesser of the first three movies.
@@DonGEX A lot of people dog on TND still. They say it's just such a step down from GoldenEye. It gets the sort of treatment that Spectre gets after Skyfall. You follow up such an amazing movie and people are way more critical of it.
i know the bond fans are gonna laugh at me but i dont care we all different right? out of all the bond movies i seen tomorrow never dies is my #1 bond movies of all time and yes i seen them all and pierce is my #1 bond of all time as well and i know the sean connery fans are gonna bash me but hey i didnt get into bond untill i play goldeneye for the nintendo 64 and i got sooo hook. so heres my rank of bond men. #1 pierce brosnan. #2 timothy dalton. #3 daniel craig. #4 sean connery. #5 roger moore. i didnt care for that george guy. but yeah love 007.
Tomorrow never dies is one of the best out there I think. I actually thought it was on the same level as GoldenEye. It made me happy Jay liked it so much. People shouldn’t laugh at other fans for having preferences anyways.
@@connieliquorson4368 Yeah its so weird to me people throw the other Brosnan Bonds out the window because they don't like Die Another Day.
People shouldn’t be making fun of an opinion like that anyway. I think that all of Brosnan‘s movies are really fun.
@@DegenerateJay agree.
Hell yes to Tomorrow Never Dies!
Such a great time and yet so underrapreciated....
Also it doesn't feel like almost 22 years since this movie released to me. I remember having it on my shelf (DVDs weren't new but were way more popular) but now things have changed so much.
Yeah time really flies. Feels like it was maybe 10 years ago to me.
Dude I love when you do the movie reviews. You very clearly work really hard on them. I wish RUclips would show them to more people cause I think they're some of your best videos.
Same I don't get notifications for them even.
I appreciate that! Hopefully more people will check it out!
Brosnon is def not the issue with this film lol. yeah the story sucked but just everything felt off from set pieces to just how it was shot. at the start when bond surfs in it looks off
That’s true. I thought the surfing idea was cool/fun but then once he comes onto the land, it looks like he’s standing in front of a green screen instead of actually in a environment. And there’s a lot of places like that in the movie which I would argue the previous three films did not really have that problem. I think that when making this movie they were way too enamored with CGI and the ability to mess with effects.
love these vids when you and your wife shoot the shit on films etc@@DegenerateJay
I love Die Another Day. It came out after Vin Diesel's XxX and the Bourne Identity, and just showed why James Bond is the king of action films. I have no idea why anyone thinks it might have killed Bond. The Daniel Craig films all suck ass compared to this. They take themselves far too seriously for films based on pulp novels. I blame Batman Begins for this. Die Another Day is the best Bond film in every conceivable respect and the final melting ice castle scene and car battle was just so fucking epic. You are vastly overanalyzing this film when literally all the same criticisms can be applied to just about any film, especially Bond films. The audience revenue proves this was the Bond film we wanted and needed. The critics are all just trying to get attention by hating on the best film in the series, they did the same thing to On Her Magesty's Secret Service which was also excellent.
I knew _Die Another Day_ was going to be crap the day I learned John Cleese was going to be Q, but nothing could have prepared me for the train wreck that occurred.
I remember when 007 Nightfire came out around the time this movie did. Good times. I still have my copy on Gamecube.
The golden age of James Bond video games right there. We had Agent Under Fire, Nightfire and even Everything or Nothing. Really miss that.
@@connieliquorson4368 I miss those days. Me and my cousins played the crap out of Nightfire's multiplayer, especially the skyrail map.
@@micpere1991 I am getting hit with a wave of nostalgia just talking about it. I remember I used to practice on one of those games with bots and I thought it was so cool that you could play the multiplayer even if you didn’t have anyone over.
@@connieliquorson4368 the bot ai customization was robust for it's time, especially since it was a console game.
Playing local multiplayer back in those days were a treat. Oddjob will forever be banned from play in Goldeneye
To me this is the most underrated bond movie ! I LOVE this one so much !!!!!!!!!!! I enjoy every single bond movie.
There's a lot of things I do like. I think it's a shame that, regardless of peoples opinions, Pierce Brosnan was treated so poorly after this movie and people act like his other films weren't fun or good because of their opinions on this one. That's something I'll never understand.
@@DegenerateJay thats ok for me it was pierce that got me in 007 thanks to his video game for the N64. without him i would not got into the bond franchise.
Despite the reception it received was mostly on the negative side i actually really like this one for basically all the reasons most seem to not too and i just love how over the top and campy fun it is I think its kinda underated
I also think a lot of people forget that it was super profitable. It got a bad reaction but it made tons of money. People act like this movie was going to get James Bond canceled but I really don’t agree with that sentiment. Also, it was not the first bond movie to disappoint a lot of people. For some reason Pierce just gets Completely lambasted for being tied to this movie when he showed up, did his job, well, and a lot of people found the movie fun.
Greatness of amazing awesome movie review die a another day die a another day one my favorite guilty pleasure James Bond movie adventure die a another day entertaining campy fun action pack excited Bond movie yes die a another day have it flaws b but I'm going to be honest with you die a another day is fun excited fun ride type bond movies die another day did not kill the franchise that is stupid die a another day fun bond movies die a another day have exciting action exciting humor appreciated pay homage to franchise put the 40th anniversary I love this movie is one of my nostalgia favorites my favorite James Bond ever Pierce brosnan James Bond movie era die another Day should not get this much hate die another Day is a fun movie spectacle fantasticular fun type bond movies
good to see you here :)
Die another day is such a bad James Bond movie but damn it it’s a guilty of pressure of mine growing up because I remember watching this movie in theaters.
I remember having the DVD with the really cheesy cover on it of jinx and bond, standing, pointing a gun at the person holding the case lol. But yeah, I really enjoy the movie still.
@@DegenerateJay i can agree with that and same here as well I remember that too.
Great review jay and Jill even though they are a lot of things I don’t like about this movie and it one of my least favorite bond movies this is still a movie i can have fun with but I still wish Bronsnan got a better final bond movie
The move to make North Korea the new enemy instead of Russia was a smart move, and had they stuck a little closer to the Colonel Sun influence and not gone so extreme the movie could have been great. But I’ll still watch this film and have a blast, so it’s a huge step up from films like Man with the Golden Gun, Spectre, or Diamonds are Forever.
Keep the movie reviews coming 👍
DAD(2002) is an acceptable watchable Bond movie. For the most part. At least this movie is a pure fun! * Of course, 3/3 is pretty bad, especially when Bond and Jinx board the Antonov 225 plane. Beyond that moment, the movie is just crap...
Thanks very much for doing this and I agree with you at 33:27
There those of us out there that feel that there was another reason why they let go of Pierce that neither Michael G Wilson and Barbera Brocoli or Pierce are saying yet. It always felt weird and out of the blue to let him go.
Saying all that and despite Die another Day, it didnt fail at the boxoffice and no fan wanted Pierce gone and would have gladly love to see him come back for a 5th movie.
Cheers, all the best :)
This movie just got super goofy with the surfing at the end 💀
I like the madonna song as its own separate thing but in the movie doesn't hit.
This movie was a mess. The sad thing is that it starts out really well with Bond getting captured by Colonel Moon's dad and then being tortured during the credits sequence. I was looking for a mano a mano confrontation between Bond and the agent that betrayed him (which I thought was going to be the Damian Falco character played by Michael Madsen) , as the climax to the film. Once we find out that it is Miranda Frost, we know that is not going to happen, and we are left with a smoldering mess of melting ice, Bond para gliding, people getting face lifts to look completely different and a final battle between Bond battling Graves in a Robo cop like outfit. Terrible.
I think the best post credits sequence is the sword fight between Bond and Graves at Blades. I also did enjoy the battle between Bond's car and Zhou's car...but this was too little to save this film.
Interesting how the World Trade Center incident probably helped the Jason Bourne film to become a better film than was originally written, and a worse film than DoD could have been.
This isn't even the worst Bond film, or the most tonally dissonant, and sadly the actors seem to always take the brunt of a bad Bond film, but people fail to remember that EON is the one greenlighting all these screenplays, the actors just do the best with what they're given. Can you imagine what Brosnan's Bond could have been with good writing? But then you could say that about Dalton and Moore to some extent as well.
If anything can said to have ruined and maybe ended the James Bond franchise, it's going to be No Time To Die.
I’ll take this over the boring Spectre and No Time To Die any day. At least they didn’t kill Bond for their woke agenda. Besides Die Another Day is fun, unlike the last two.
It's cheesy and silly but also pretty fun and looks much better than lifless and sterile Spectre and No Time to Die.
I agree pierce brosnan w as s a great bond i remrmber him from remington s teele i thought that he would be perfect as bond way back then turns out i was right.
This was interesting I never watched a James Bond movie so this got my interested in the franchise
Yeah I don’t think this movie is as bad as people say either. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Daniel Craig movies since he’s my favorite Bond.
I would gladly take this film over the wretched Quantum of Solace.
Die Another Day isn't Brosnan's best - that's Goldeneye - but it's still streets ahead of Quantum of Solace, Spectre and the truly abysmal No Time to Die.
@@sethdavis459 After Skyfall, arguably earlier, I think the franchise really lost its way and forgot what Bond movies were supposed to be about: enjoyable escapism with a near-unflappable hero.
I dislike what might be described as the 'character development' Bond underwent during the Craig years; and the films themselves became far too sentimental. Killing him off was the final straw.
I now consider Die Another Day to be the final Bond film. The producers would find it hard to convince me to part with my money to see a new 'Bond' film at the cinema in the way that I did for every film from Goldeneye to No Time to Die.
@@sethdavis459 Yes, it's a matter of opinion, of course. I do think it's pretty abysmal. Yes, I certainly hope so, though I've certainly lost confidence in them.
To the invisible boat mobile!
I don’t consider this move „bad”… Hell, it’s actually one of my fav Bond movies! It it wasnt for Goldeneye it would be definitely my fav Brosnan movie. It has great action, awesome boss battle with Zao on the ice, beautiful girls and mémorable sabre duel… actually I am going to watch it once more right now!
I can feel the love for the franchise in your guys' voices. Great stuff🎉
Thank you so much! I grew up watching a few of these, but it was so fun to introduce my wife Jill to them. I was really hoping that she would like them as much as me and it’s been a very surprisingly happy bonding experience. Bonding experience pun intended. Thank you for watching!
Good video. As always i can't wait for the io interactive game.
Same! I’m really hoping we see more of that in the near future when it’s further along!
@DegenerateJay nice. Also as a request can you start putting the background music you use in the description please.
Being just an honest Russian, I appreciated that Russia was for once not the villain.
You escaped this time
In my opinion, Martin Campbell should have finished Brosnan's run as Bond by directing Die Another Day. After all, he kickstarted it again with Goldeneye. The same applies to Daniel Craig's tenure. Both Die Another Day & No Time to Die would have fared much better critically if Campbell had been at the helm...I'm sure of that. Not that No Time to Die did badly. It just could have been better, in my opinion.
True. They could have been better
if Martin Campbell had made them .
Daniel Craig does it better
Do you have playlist of James bound reviews
I have the movie review playlist and then I have a James Bond videos playlist. I appreciate you checking the video out! Thanks!
Almost ruined Bond! What are you smoking.
Uh oh… somebody didn’t watch the video and just reacted to the title 😂
There are only 20 Bond movies. Craig's politically correct woke era doesn't count.
I would personally love more movie reviews especially for the other Bond movies
We definitely want to do more! We put our all into them so they take a while, but next up for Bond films to review is Casino Royale! Thanks so much for supporting our videos! Genuinely really appreciate it!
Okay first off
I really like the idea of two couples reviewing things (movies and video games) it’s cute!
Also MAN did this movie with through some development hell!
The only good thing I like about it is the actress that plays jinx
(She’s very pretty!)
I remember she appeared in this flinstones movie and the moment I saw her character it was (surprising)
IMO, all Brosnan Bond films (despite their flaws) are the best of the franchise. To the contrary I see the Craig Bond films as the worse of the franchise. Basically Craig Bond is a Jason Bourne rip off; and I don't like the "grounded" Bond, I much prefer the outlandish campy Bond with all the sci-fi gadgets. That is the "real" Bond.
I feel like too many of the Bond films have similar names -- Tommorow Never Dies, Live and Let Die, Die Another Day, No Time to Die, Goldfinger, Goldeneye, The Man with the Golden Gun, A View to a Kill, License to Kill, etc... its hard to remember one from the other, especially the Brosnan films that all meld together. I always felt he was in the Roger Moore category, and their films get about the same level of popcorn ratings. I feel like Daniel Craig is closer to the Connery model and their films all seem to get a slightly higher popcorn rating than Moore/Brosnan. The other guy was in his own little category.
This movie is special to me. I can't defend it's weaker points. But I loved it! And the game "nightfire" was & is still my jam to this day. And I do look at it as all past 007 entries merging into a worthy final bond entry in the overall series. All my love. But yes the CGI para-surf scene at the near end was visually horrible lol. 🤷♂️
I don’t think Die another Day could have killed the franchise. It was simply a Diamond are forever remake (the remake of a bad Bond movie, to summarize) I understand why they returned to a more grounded tone (which was very welcome), but we shouldn’t forget that the Bond franchise had the habitude of changing tone on a regular basis (remember For your eyes only after the over the top Moonraker, or the gritty spies flicks of the Dalton era, after the campy Moore years) But, to me, if something has killed the franchise (and I’m very scared by that), it’s the way Craig left in no time to die.
One of my favorite 007 movies its just so much fun!
I've got the ultimate James Bond title: "GoldenKill Dies"! Its got "gold" "kill" and "die" all in it!!
I was so bored by TWINE that Die Another Day and its crazy sci-fi elements and megalomaniacal villain were just pure fun. At least it’s an actual Bond movie and not some fake alternate reality were 007 DIES at the end like the entire Craig run (two exceptional movies notwithstanding).
It may be over the top but I always enjoyed Die Another Day, it’s the last of its kind that fits in with the older campier bond films
The film really should be called Diamonds are for another day since it's basically a soft remake of Diamonds are forever
I have to admit it is an empty guilty pleasure of mine, not perfect but still miles better than the world is not enough
The film was so bad I turned it off 30 minutes and accepted the fact that the franchise was over. Then fortunately Casino Royale happened and the franchise was saved
The start of the movie is so good, shame it all goes downhill once the movie leaves North Korea. Should have had the entire movie set in North Korea with Bond trying to escape from the North, invading the NK army and a group of elite spy killers of the North Korean army. Just have it being a survival movie with Bond on his own trying to get across to border to South Korea.
"Die Another Day" is my favorite Bond movie with Brosnan. Yes it was over the top, but that's what Bond movies are all about.
If nothing else it's fun
Brosnan is great as always and didn't deserve the way he was treated wasn't his fault the movie was slated when it came out
He had another film in him
At least anyway i enjoy the film it's a guilty pleasure of mine
Good review both of you 👍
Im really enjoying your content
No it was after casino royale where All bond films ruined the franchise. Daniel Craig was boring. Stop bashing the great Pierce Bronson. I loved die another day especially the beginning action scene 😅
It’s not really brosnan’s fault the movie came out how it is. He just so happened to not do his best performance and had a horrible director and writing.
I always thought the film would have been better if the Korean characters just stayed Korean. The whole idea they want to be white guys to hide and use the diamonds was ridiculous.
Man Stuart Baird dodged a bullet by not ruining the Bond franchise… only to ruin the Star Trek franchise
That’s actually pretty funny, and I know this is going to be a super unpopular take, but I actually really enjoyed Star Trek nemesis lol. And I was a huge fan of the TNG generation, so I wasn’t like a casual fan or anything, I think I was just in the minority. I do know it has a lot of problems though. I think it would’ve probably been better if Jonathan Frakes had directed it, even if it had a similar story, I think he could’ve given it more heart.
@@DegenerateJayimo I wish both Brosnan and the Enterprise E crew had one more movie in their franchise
@@DegenerateJayalso I do really enjoy this fan my only nit pick about it is there’s no real interaction between Bond and Moneypenny they only see each other in VR
I literally walked out of this movie during the surfing 🏄🏻♂️ scene.
❤❤
Die another day is an updated remake of diamonds are forever. The diamond laser, decoy is now dna altering and so on.
I hated Judy stench as M 👎 in all the movies. Grandma Amanda Waller ish
When I was a teen watching this, I thought Die Another Day was a pretty bad movie. I rewatched it about a month ago for a Bond-son marathon with a few friends and I will say... Die Another Day is a fantastic movie to shoot the breeze with pals.
That’s the thing - even with its problems, I personally think it’s still really fun and enjoyable. It kind of feels like watching an action video game at times. And there’s a lot of really cool scenes in it, and I think even people who don’t like the movie appreciate a lot of the good scenes.
You can’t call a series trope a gimmick
The night is darkest before the dawn...
my problem with the invisible car is the cloak is too perfect for a 1st attempt technology. It some how masks the tyres and wheels, hides the shadow the car casts has no real distortion if you look across the surface or look at the surface directly and has 100% the same effect regardless if it is being emitted from metal or glass. Its just too sci fi over the top.
Top gear proved it would work can't remb if it was quite the same as this but I recall being shocked such thing was actually possible
You sound like metal Jesus rocks lol
Nice video!
I love Die Another Day.
Compared to whats happened since
- the real ACTUAL death of James Bond on film - and the nothing that is happening right now ...
I'll happily take another Die Another Day style movie ANYTIME now.
And i bet millions of other Bond fans feel the same way.
And i would also DEFINITELY choose to watch that film over No Time To Die any day.
It used to get alot of hate years back,
but i think in the years since and with all the serious depressing Bond material we've seen come out in recent years,
I think people now look back at this era and even at this movie itself with a great deal of fondness and nostalgia
The sense of over the top silly fun and adventure in Die Another Day is something that we had always gotten with the Bond films and something i think Audiences actually have grown to miss in the series.
And i bet they would be very happy to see the return of this style - even with all of its bad dialogue and larger than life impossible to believe gadgets and stunts!
But maybe we could leave out the tidal wave surfing....
Miranda was University with Moon. If you like he "turned" her to his way if thinking, made her a fanatic As a result when she competed in Fencing she then got noticed by MI6 which was her In on Moon's behalf.
As a huge film connoisseur, and definitely not the real Hideo Kojima, I was very impressed by the ice chase.
There's so much media that was changed due to 9/11 that there's an entire Wikipedia article about it, which is understandable since people did not want to be reminded of the tragedy.
I'd love to see you review older Bond movies too like Dr. No.
Haven't thought about this movie for at least a good decade. Great review, got me wanting to re-watch it alongside the other Brosnan Bond films.
From memory this film felt like the so-bad-its-good Brosnan flick being genuinely good until Jinx showed up who like Jill said, felt like they were portraying her like she wanted to be the next Bond but having her mess up enough that it felt like you weren't meant to root for her.
Then the waves scene and Gustav Graves' armour, Graves' whole DNA modification and even invisible car at the time adds to the so-bad-its-good nature. Maybe I'd appreciate the latter on rewatch.
Yeah I think I enjoyed it way more than I did when I was younger, but it's definitely a mixed bag. It's a shame Jinx was ramrodded into the story because that definitely just added to the issues of the movie :/
You and Jill make an awesome team, Keep it up!!
Thanks so much! We really do appreciate that!
Sorry, but as bad as some of the more contentious bits in DAD were, IMO this film stands head and shoulders above any Daniel Craig Bond film (with the exception of Casino Royale), and I will always rate Brosnan as a better Bond over Craig, any day of the week.
@@sethdavis459 nope! The whole set up of the Bond girl being Moneypenny at the end was ridiculous. Bond spent so long with her out in the field and yet he didn’t know her full name till she told him at the end of the film? Seriously? Would have much rather had John Cleese return as Q (or R) than what we got - a stereotypical portrayal of a young geeky computer nerd who looks about 12 years old! I thought Bardem with his highlighted blonde hair was a ridiculous villain and his motive to get revenge on M, years later after what she did to him, seemed too long a gap to be believable.
The ending was, as others have noted, reminiscent of Home Alone and since when did Bond inherit a stately home? This film (and CR) mentioned he was an orphan, so why couldn’t the script writers have had Skyfall be the children’s home he spent his years at, after the death of his parents? That would have been much more believable. I also don’t get why they killed M off. Silva killing her (via the attack on Skyfall) means that he ends up getting what he initially set out to do (even if he didn’t live to see her die) and Bond ends up failing in his mission to protect her! It would have been better for M to have survived Skyfall and simply retire at the end of the film, paving the way for Mallory to take over.
I also didn’t think the action sequences were anything new or special. The only thing I really liked (and it was a good nod back to Fleming) was the villain’s deformity (something which I could see Fleming coming up with had he lived to write more Bond books.) I will say that Skyfall is 2nd best to Casino Royale, followed by SPECTRE and then NTTD, with QoS bringing up the rear, but the last three are so much of a muchness for me, that what I think it’s shown is that without the blueprint of a Fleming novel to go by (or taking elements from different Fleming novels), the script writers and the producers cannot come up with enough essence of Fleming to do the Bond character justice.
CR was superb in its updated adaption and I would have loved had they followed it up with more updated versions of Fleming’s novels, beginning with LALD, but that would have needed each film to have been released every two years, and Craig’s age would have been against him completing the full 11 novels. Had the producers gone with Campbell’s choice of Henry Cavill as Bond, aged 23 at the time, he could have achieved that feat had he been up for it, but everything is in hindsight, isn’t it? Still, I have CR to watch again and again, and whilst I thought Craig did a good job in that film, he’ll never be Bond to me, and I feel Henry Cavill was a major missed opportunity.
Nothing wrong with the director, the script was horrible, the action , CGI , the over the top gadgets . It’s a fun entertaining movie , it you leave your brain at home or if you don’t use your brain
Half of this movie and half of golden eye movie was remade into skyfall with Daniel Craig
Very great review. I was excited for this one to come out.
Thanks for watching!
