Meanwhile, Bond begins romancing NSA agent Jinx (Halle Berry) as he uncovers a scheme concocted by Zao and British millionaire Graves (Toby Stephens), involving a highly destructive laser.

Critics Consensus

Its action may be bit too over-the-top for some, but Die Another Day is lavishly crafted and succeeds in evoking classic Bond themes from the franchise's earlier installments.

It's definitely [Pierce] Brosnan's worst Bond film.

The film is a frantic roller-coaster ride from which you emerge exhausted, with a massive blur in the head.

It's the same old Bond.

The over-reliance on epic CGI effects results in a few chinks in the spectacle (the tidal wave looks like a video game effect), but the thrill-topping succession of death-defying disasters and unbelievable battles... just don’t stop coming.

Producing this milestone film is an unenviable task of immense responsibility. Unfortunately, the result is a clumsy homage –an attempt to concoct a grand confection with ingredients of varied quality and a baker that wasn’t up to the task.

It really doesn't matter how Lee Tamahori directed the film or what Neal Purvis and Robert Wade did with their script because Die Another Day was screwed from the moment that The Bourne Identity opened in theaters.

Non solo il peggior Bond di Brosnan ma il peggior Bond di tutta l'intera ed infinita saga. Un film terribile sotto tutti i punti di vista; la trama sconclusionata, improbabile e totalmente idiota; la CGI riporta immediatamente agli anni '70 o peggio ancora, con una sequenza di surf in Islanda semplicemente agghiacciante; gli attori che offrono performance scadenti con un Brosnan che sembra già sapere che dirà addio al film ed infine una serie di villain senza fascino e con scopi insensati. Il tutto condito da sequenze di azione altrettanto pessime e da dialoghi squallidi; veramente nulla da salvare.

LOVE that they had Berry in it, I would pay 20 bucks to watch her in a movie wearing a potato sack. Another Great Bond flick.

If you hate this movie it’s because you don’t like action, drama, and twists. I can understand that it’s a bit corny and the CGI wasn’t great back then, but this is engaging the entire time. I can only imagine how great it must have been in theaters

All over the place (Bond gets tortured for over a year AND there's a space laser harnessing the sun's power called Icarus, M tosses Bond out as a liability AND "An ice palace can be such a treacherous place.") without any sense of balance. Strong candidate for the worst Bond movie and the worst Bond song too. I guess they had to go this far to realize they needed to pull back.

Sure it's a little overstuffed and the climax drags on. But it is clever and witty, with cool action sequences and intriguing plot.
