Movie Reviews of Die Another Day [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Diamonds Are Forever
Summary: 4 Stars

I think this movie is basically a remake of the original
Sean Connery movie, Diamonds Are Forever, which is
difficult to find now. In this movie, as in that one, an
evil genius wants to collect a lot of diamonds with which
to make a laser weapon.

That said, this movie is far more watchable than the
original Sean Connery movie, which after the first
few minutes,...and then the rest is forgettable. The
scene that made that one famous was the interrogation
of a woman. He strangles her with her own brassiere
(or bathing suit top) until she agrees to tell him the
secret location of Blofeld's hideout. Once there, he
sees a double of himself; a plot involving cloning (or
disguising) is hinted at. He is found. And then this
guy reaches into Bond's pocket for a gun, but he finds
a deadly mouse trap instead. He screams in pain. Bond
pushes him away, and using surgical tools as weapons,
disables the others. Then he takes Blofeld and throws
him into what seems to be a hot lava pit, and says,
"Welcome to hell, Blofeld". And that was all in the first
few minutes. But the rest of that movie, I could not
recall. The movie was on television again, recently,
and it really is awful, boring. Die Another Day, may be
the only Bond movie that does not put me to sleep.

Now, when you watch this movie, Die Another Day, the
plot of the original, will seem all too familiar, but at the
same time, fresh, new, and better. In this one, he laces
up a woman from behind, until she tells him who he is
looking for. It is quite an improvement from the original.

Also, in the first few minutes of Die Another Day, he is
captured, and then subjected to torture by it seems a
beautiful woman, who seems to also be in charge of other
soldiers who beat him up, seemingly at her command.
Is she a voyeur, or is it concern for his well-being that
she is expressing? Anyway, a middle-aged male General
shows up and informs Bond that he does not approve of
"what they do there". Bond looks at him, and says, "I
suggest you take it up with the Concierge", referring to the
woman behind him, his torturer. He refuses to break, and
use abusive language towards a woman. They have not
conquered him, those sodomites. And that all happens
before the movie truly begins. This then, is the best Bond
ever.

Also, as the movie progresses, this evil doctor uses
awful language, giving vivid descriptions of surgical
procedures, and orphans, which makes you think, If
a doctor will not treat (cure) people for free, then he
cannot be trusted. She kills him, and you feel better,
because he has stopped talking.

Summary of Die Another Day [Blu-ray]

When his top-secret mission is sabotaged, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) finds himself captured by theenemy, abandoned by MI6 and stripped of his 00-license. Determined to get revenge, Bond goes head-to-head with a sultry spy (Oscar?(r) winner* Halle Berry), a frosty agent (Rosamund Pike) anda shadowy billionaire (Toby Stephens) whose business is diamonds but whose secret is a diabolical weapon that could bring the world to its knees! Bristling with excitement and bursting with explosivespecial effects, Die Another Day is an adrenaline-pumping thrill-ride with "stunts and non-stop action [that] will astonish you" (Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV)! *2001: Actress, Monster'sBall
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
