The
20th official James Bond film, Die Another Day, marked the 40th
anniversary of 007 on the big screen with its cinematic release, and now
marks the 50th anniversary of Ian Fleming's original Bond novel, Casino
Royale, with its release on DVD and VHS.
Die Another Day
again stars Pierce Brosnan as our hero, with supporting roles provided
by Dame Judy Dench as M, John Cleese as Q and with Halle Berry and Rosamund
Pike as the Bond girls, Die Another Day is full of what you expect
from a Bond movie and full of what you don't. The Madonna song lets down
the otherwise excellent title sequence and the volume seems to be a little
to pumped up at times, but the movie sees a welcome return to Bond driving
an Aston Martin, although rather than just sporting an ejector seat, it
features an invisibility mode that stretches improbability just a little
too far.
With a great first
half and some good locations, this is Brosnan's best Bond outing to date.
You can order Die Another Day from Amazon.co.uk.
