Brosnan's worst
This movie had a lot of potential. It started off well enough. It looked as if Bond had finally left the old Soviet Cold War era and entered the 21 century fighting new enemies like North Korea. I loved the idea of having a crazy North Korea Colonel as a villain. Unfortunately, the plot quickly changed a half an hour into the movie and the villain magically became a British man who decided to create a satellite out of diamonds that shot heat rays at things.

The dialogue is horrible in this movie. There are so many puns that its almost hard to listen the movie at some points. I do not blame Brosnan or Berry though. Its not their fault that the lines in the movie were so poorly written. Even good actors can look bad when they are working with horrible dialogue. Its sad that this ended up being Brosnan's last Bond movie because it did not do him justice.

BEST ACTION MOVIE OF THE YEAR!-Fox Radio

ONE OF THE BEST BOND FILMS EVER-Chicago Sun-Times

IMAGE:
The 2.40:1 anamorphic image transfer is a wonder to behold. The overall aesthetic is pristine, appearing smooth and lifelike throughout. The opeining sequence boasts an intentoinally cold and subdued color palette, consising of cooll,bluish tones that are nicely contrasted by the warm, vibrant hue evident later in the film. The picture conveys a commendable level of detail with a soothing touch of film grain that adds significantly to the film-like appearance. The only distraction is a noticeable amount of edge enhancement. While easily detectable,its presence is never bothersome enough to detrack from the sheer splendor of this winning transfer.

SOUND:
Attention audio fanatics:prepare to be dazzled. The outstanding Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks both feature 6.1 matrix processing,allowing those with rear surround capability the option to become completely immersed in audio nirvana. Being able to apply this technology, I was amazed by the robust energy generated from the rear soundfield. I did feel,however,that the format is underplayed a bit. While the rear speaker certainly helps tighten the sense of 360-degree imaging,I felt as if the sound designers were somewhat reserved in fully utilizing the back surround speaker. Nevertheless,this is an insignificant gripe for what is otherwise a supreme soundtrack. Whil the Dolby Digital EX track is excellent, the DTS-ES reigns superior with a more neutral high end,warmer mid-range and tighter,deeper bass. Both tracks feature aggressive split surrounds during the many action sequences,enceloping the viewer with the surrounds of speeding vehicles and crackling gunfire. Perhaps the most impressive element of the soundtrack is the natural tonal quality of the dialogue,particularly on the DTS track. Spoken words possess an incredibly warm characterustuc,sounding so clear and natural that I could close my eyes and believe that the actors and I were in the same room. Delivering a brilliant display of the 6.1 matrix format and featuring perhaps the finest fidelity I have heard thus far on DVD,the Die Another Day DTS-ES soundtrack is unquestionably my new demo matrial.

Brosnan at his best.
I find Pierce Brosan as the best Bond and this film is anouther great Bond movie. Die Anouther Day has a new bond girl (Jinx) which Hallie Berry plays. She finds herself in a lot of trouble which Bond has to always protects. Bonds villians are Gustav Graves and Zao.
