Still waiting for you nitwits to figure out the Casino Royale is a great chase and a solid action scene glued together with a lot of shite including zero chemistry between Craig and Green in their horribly written intro scene (and all scenes b/t them thereafter). Everything to do with poker in it is crap. Nothing else works. It's truly painful.

Despite all of its faults Like Bad Effects, terrible Dialogue, a plot that kinda sucked, Gustav Graves was the weakest and most forgettable bond villain, and the worst song performed by Madonna called die another day (that includes her pointless cameo), it all kinda plays it safe, but I find this movie just some harmless guilty pleasure of Dumb Fun.

@FilmSpeak
@FilmSpeak 2 года назад
That’s kinda the exception, not necessarily the rule tbf. They clearly had a direction they wanted to take the character in his final film, Craig wanted to go in a certain direction (he’s a producer), and I guess Boyle and EON couldn’t come to a compromise. I think it’s okay to acknowledge that a studio and a filmmaker aren’t on the same page. AND it wasn’t EON who ended the partnership, Boyle decided he wasn’t the right fit. That was his decision.

@@FilmSpeak tbf idk the specific details around his departure. When I hear someone’s left a project, generally I assume its due to the filmmaker getting fed up of being told what to do from producers/studio but unclear to what extent that was the case here. Do you know much about what Boyles version would’ve looked like? I really liked NTTD (Much more than I was expecting to) but i cant help but be curious as to what Boyle’s version would have been.

I am personally very much so convinced that Brosnan's best performance is in TWINE, but he's also great in TND and even in DAD, as you mention in the video. I agree with almost everything you say here (though I think the visuals in TWINE are underrated) and I never thought about how Jinx sleeping with more characters here could have been a good move, script wise. That makes so much sense that I wonder why I never came up with it!

The films have definitely had more sillier locations when compared to the Ice Palace. Just look at Stromberg's base, it's literally an underwater lair with a massive globe sitting in the middle of it. If that's less ridiculous than an Ice Palace, I think people need to get their eyes checked.

For me, Goldeneye and TWINE hit the tonal sweet spot of bond. Classically nuts 90s action and escapism but knew not to cross over into moore era camp. Tomorrow never dies (With hammy villain Elliott carver) and die another day were what you get when you didn't completely avoid doing that lol. DAD is so cheese lol, but a fun time killer. The craig era went grounded and dark which was cool, but i eventually needed a palate cleanser. Interesting to see where they go with the next bond

Great to see you return to Bond, Griff. Excellent review as always. It really is a movie of two halves, but there's no doubt it's fantastically, stupidly entertaining. You're bang on with the tsunami scene - Tamahori has admitted it was a mistake but says the VFX team insisted to him that they could pull it off with existing tech, and only realised far too late in production that they really couldn't, but by then they were stuck with it.

I think the issue for me with this movie, it's that it actually showed some promise at the very beginning with Bond not escaping as usual and actually becoming a prisoner in NK for an extended period of time (or at least as long as the credits with that Madonna song lasted). What that time did to him and its repercussions on him and MI6 could have made for an interesting premise. That's why it was so maddening to see the film basically throw that away once he gets to Hong Kong.
@alekesam

Okay: before I push play, just have to say: DAD was Brosnan at his BEST in the role. He was at his most relaxed and comfortable, a far cry from the more stilted learning his way in the role that he was in GoldenEye. So while the movie itself may fall short, Pierce was great in it. OTT as DAD was, Tamahori admirably directed the hell out of the action scenes, gave Bond a capable adversary/peer, henchman and mole to push him. With that out of the way, let's go! 👍🏽

My dude filmspeak, you are an amazing critic. You never troll movies or try to be funny, and never agree with the narrative. I love how defended the matrix 4 as well as pointing out flaws with the new Spiderman. You're kinda starting to be like a modern day Roger Ebert where your reviews may not line up with the majority but hearing you explain them is fun and provides better insight to the film and helps us look at it from a different perspective. FILM IS SUBJECTIVE, just like food. I know ppl who like McDonalds more than dining out. It's all based on how it hits us. And thank you for showing love to this bond film. I love it. It's cheesy and it knows it and reminds me of the action packed early 2000s movies

I gotta admit....I absolutely LOVE Die another Day - my 2nd favourite Bond film after OHMSS. Yes,there's some silly moments & the dialogue at times is cringeworthy but there's also some fantastic action scenes. The PTS, the car chase (one of the best ever),Zao.....all superb. Even as a fan of Madonna, I love the theme song too. It's a celebration of 40 years of Bond so was nice to go a bit OTT. Most Bond films have their far-fetched scenes. Brilliant PS Skyfall's villain appeared exactly halfway through the movie.

I never understood why my dad loved this movie until I myself gained an appreciation for it. No Time To Die’s ending crushed me as a major Bond fanboy- and Die Another Day let me celebrate 007’s most cartoonish excesses as a coping mechanism. It’s Bond parodying itself, a poorly written but well-intentioned love letter to itself.

Ok, I will say one thing in defense of this movie. The line "Sigmund Freud" makes sense in the song, since it's followed by the line "analyze this". So it's not as dumb as most people think. And in a world where "Never Say Never Again" exists (not EON, I know), "Die Another Day" can't be the worst Bond movie. So that was 2 things. Now I have to go and disinfect my brain...

@xexasperon 2 года назад
interesting reappraisal yet still so much could be added! it feels like 2 different movies, the 1st half a Bond film with the darkest pre-title sequence of the franchise to date, investigating themes of changing geopolitical powers with a mature Bond compartmentalizing his issues from being held captive (with the 1st Bond torture scene and 1st sex scene ever); the 2nd half is a post-9/11 escapist romp after a year of collective societal grief (which only people in theatres at the time could grasp) failing to follow through on story beats/character arcs from the 1st half. its similar to Spectre`s structure as both films derail once Bond reaches the isolated villain lair in the middle of the desert/ice; DAD going all Moonraker and Spectre going full Austin Powers. Skyfalls` Silva is curiously Bond`s story at the beginning of DAD, the only difference being one took their cyanide pill while the other didnt. the Vanish gets needless hate cause it gets associated w the bad cgi in the movie but on its own it works (stealth ships/cars are in endless movies, Mercedes/Google actually experimented w this tech 10+yrs ago, but my favorite is that its not OP, cause it malfunctions twice which is realistic for cutting edge tech). there`s a milisecond of hesitation from Bond when Frost undresses but the scene is so chopped up you`d never notice; the betrayal i guess was meant to play as Bond losing his touch, struggling w the effects of korea but they dont give us enough time alone w Bond to let his ptsd be noticeable. he has scars on his torso from korea but any mention of them aloud was cut; he`s overly arrogant when flirting w Jinx and overcompensating suptly throughout but the editing is too in your face to let any of that breathe. the scene w M in the infirmary is the only unmistakable scene where Bond shows uneasiness (tapping his chest, blinking nervously questioning if he broke). the script draft Brosnan describes in the press conference before filming started sounds like a different better version of the frustrating film we got. there`s a good movie trapped in there somewhere even if only just re-edited (strip out the mtv music video editing, the matrix slow motion, the fast&furious speed ramping and the kite surfing scene that has no bearing on the plot)

Ummm I can see where you're coming from. I think the Moore films were actually more purposefully campy than this was? There's definitely a sense of self awareness for sure, but there comes a point where it stops being silly and just dips a bit too far into stupid. Like I sort of talk about in the video, even something as silly as Moonraker, still knew when to dial it back and isn't nearly as over the top as Die Another Day gets. Die Another Day almost unintentionally falls into parody.

I'm making my own narrative here but imagine if the villain's actor Toby Stephens was used for flashbacks of the villain and in the present the bond villain is Clint Eastwood having Clint as villain would've been so dope for a bond movie, (since I've watched "Space Cowboys" Toby gained more love since he played so good a young Clint for the intro of the film and would've loved for another film to repeat that duo) but yeah it wouldn't made sense on this film to have an old villain so just erase the bad and use to it's full potential the good ideas from Die another day and create another script where we could use Clint as villain and Toby for the flashbacks Overall to me they're not unwatchable I enjoy even the "bad" Bond movies i see and imagine their potential and don't ask much from them, the only one that it's really hard to do that is Diamonds are forever

@@tashrif46 But the Bond that Dalton portrayed wasn't popular in 1989 never mind the 60s It's the difference between Cinematic Bond and Bond from the novels and it really comes down to which you prefer but because every guy wanted to be Sean Connery that's Cinematic Bond If I watch a Jason Bourne movie for example I want to see an ultra driven serious character doing all he can to put all the pieces together from his past, I DON'T want to see women, charisma, 1 liners, cool, suave, panache, sophistication, Armani etc If I watch a Bond movie (the ultra cool Iconic gentleman spy) I want to see everything that MADE him Iconic, lots of women, outrageous villains, charisma, charm, panache, suave sophistication, 1 liners, fun and ESCAPISM, getting the girls and saving the world Connery set the scene, Moore and Brosnan continued that character and it's the only reason why Bond lasted all the way back from 1962 in world of serious action movies The Bond of the novels (Dalton /Craig) are good action movies ultra serious and grounded but they're no different to any other action movie because Bond isn't outlandishly cool suave charismatic charming full of fun and escapism, ultra serious Bond is only good if you want that type of James Bond Cinematic Bond is the only cool suave guy of this kind ever on tv and he's only here once every 3 years, we can all watch and enjoy serious dark action movies to our hearts content because there's 100s of great movies like that, if we take away this unique character then all we're left with is generic serious only.....

I remember when I watched it for the first time I thought that the beginning was great. It sort of felt like it was trying to go more in the route Casino Royale did with its grit (for the time it came out) while setting up consequences for the life Bond has lived like Skyfall. And then just threw it away back to the status quo with the line "thanks for the kiss of life."

I unapologetically love the Aston Martin Vanquish, and the chase it partakes in is my favourite in the entire series. I even did the Madonna song, and I kinda like the tsunami surfing scene thanks to the epic score.

You can’t blame Brosnan for the stupidity and absurdity of the movie. Blame it on the writers. He was contractually obligated to do 4 Bond films, so he couldn’t back down even if he wanted to. If the writers had decided he’d do that ridiculous ocean wave riding scene in a panda suit, he’d have no choice but to agree to it. The way he was fired unceremoniously by the producers by phone call was pathetic. Brosnan gave good performances as Bond. If you watched the making-of featurettes of each of his movies, you could tell he had fun doing them. Unlike Craig. He deserved a better send off.

Howard Weber says > If you take out the silly Bond CGI scene , Die Another Day is a good Bond movie. Not a great Bond movie but still a good Bond movie. In fact, I like it better than everything Craig did after Casino Royale. I also think Brosnan is still a better Bond than Craig. What`s not to like about Die Another Day. It has a terrific pre-credit sequence. Halle Berry is one of the better Bond girls and I thought Zao was a great henchman. The car chase on the frozen lake was exciting. I know a lot of people thought the invisible car was over the top but it didn`t bother me. The only thing I didn`t like was Madonna`s song. ( check out my comments on - The Spy Who Loved Me is the greatest Bond movie )

Die Another Day is dumb but it doesn’t take the title of dumbest Bond movie.

I do think you're right that if you had a Snyder style re-edit of this film with updated effects it would be viewed way more kindly. They were really out in front of their skis. The dialogue in spots is still clunky, as you said, and Halle just doesn't hit the mark for me, but having recently re-watched the four Brosnan Bond movies, this movie was A LOT better than I remembered and it's definitely entertaining. I think the gap between the four films is a lot smaller than the perception. Though I will say that having watched decades of SyFy shows, my tolerance for and ability to look past bad CGI is a lot higher than most people's

GoldenEye is the last great Cold War Bond thriller, the film oozes the legacy of the Cold War. Tomorrow Never Dies has aged like fine wine with it's plot about a media mogul creating "fake news" to manipulate geopolitical events for his purposes by trying to start a war. The World is Not Enough, this might be Pierce Brosnan at his coldest, most ruthless Bond with a very underrated Bond Villain who's also one of the Bond Girls. Die Another Day, you know, on paper, there's ideas that could have worked for a Bond plot about Bond being betrayed on a mission in North Korea and now has to find who betrayed him....and he's not sure if his own government set him up.

Mostly agree with a very large portion of the stuff you mentioned. However No Time to Die is an absolutely garbage film, dialogue wise at times, character wise at times, plot time at most times, and so on. Does it have some really neat ideas and one or two pieces I absolutely love? Yes, I love Bond having a daughter with his eyes, I love the connection between him and Madeline being deepened (although I still think in Spectre they should have brought Eva Green back in the form of a video tape of her witnessing James interrogation form Casino Royale and screaming at Mr. White about it and how she bargains for his life, so that Madeline would fully understand who Vesper was to him and why it hirt him so badly) I also think that Madeline if they could have made it happen, should have been played by Rachel Weisz because by being Daniel Craig’s real life wife she would have amazing chemistry on screen with him in replacement for that of which we had for Eve Green previously as Vesper. No hate to the original actress though just a minor change I would have made. Overall those are the things that to me would have made Spectre a better ending overall for Craigs Bond, but also if he then decided to come back for the 5th one the connection again between him and Madeline would have ultimately had more weight. But No Time To Die just really doesn’t have a properly constructed base story wise, it goes all over sometimes and that’s why I mostly call it garbage as it doesn’t hold up well when compared to Spectre (as is, or as I imagined it could have been).

I don’t care - I love it lol! And no matter what - it will never be at the bottom of any Bond film ranking again because of one critical thing….. They do not blow him up at the end!!
