Just watched Die Another Day for the first time ever, my god it's an absolute aneurism inducing cluster gently caress of a film. Can certainly see why they had to throw the whole franchise out of the window and restart from scratch again.

I never realised Lee Tamahori directed Once Were Warriors, which was a great movie. His resume after that though is rather sketchy, maybe The Devil's Double will be a good one.

There are just so many problems with Die Another Day, some things in it worked well. I really liked the first half hour or so, despite the ridiculous hovercraft chase and the Madonna song (though the intro/torture sequence was pretty cool and unexpected). After that it just became incredibly schizophrenic, the plot went totally out the window and it became a series of lame callbacks to earlier Bond movies and horrible CGI action sequences.

It was just a really very stupid film, not bad but disappointingly dumb.

In fact as a film it was probably up to the standard of something like Wild Wild West.

Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint would be fun villains if they were to go digging into the past, or how about Bardem as a young Scaramanga?

I liked Quantum, it just felt like there were large chunks of plot missing in between the action sequences.

Oh I forgot that Brosnan totally runs like a girl, still at least he wasn't all awkward and stiff like the hundred year old Moore in View to a Kill.
