"The most thrilling, lavishly designed and imaginative Bond picture in years" | ||||
"Maybe I've seen too many James Bond movies by now, or maybe the trouble with this 20th installment is that the filmmakers are trying too hard to top the excesses of the predecessors." | ||||
"Aside from a jarringly fake computer-generated avalanche scene that momentarily challenges the necessary suspension of disbelief, the big-bang set pieces are superbly crafted." | ||||
"'Die Another Day' is still as professionally mediocre as its predecessors. | ||||
"Dead-on as entertaining eye candy, a bona fide guilty pleasure -- for the first hour. But the movie loses steam and the sequences that dazzled in the beginning get overshadowed by the excesses of later scenes." | ||||
"The savviest and most exciting Bond adventure in years, and that's because there's actually something at stake in it." | ||||
"The result is the niftiest Bond movie in years -- fresh, funny, and jammed to the rafters with demented stunts, Boys'-Own gadgetry and brazen promiscuity." | ||||
"'Die Another Day' is the most thrilling, lavishly designed and imaginative Bond picture in years. It is also the most preposterous." | ||||
"Brosnan, in his fourth time up at the Bond bat, hits this one out of the park." | ||||
"The new movie lacks something, a special something. It's a quality that has characterized some of the best of the first 19 Bond movies: extravagant ludicrousness." | ||||
"Die Another Day is still utterly absurd from one end to the other, of course, but in a slightly more understated way. And so it goes, Bond after Bond, as the most durable series in movie history heads for the half-century." | ||||
"Amped to the max, with firepower and fisticuffs flying, this is Bond as we have come to know him in the post-Roger Moore years: bigger, badder, better." |
