Die Another Day

If this was a Roger Moore Bond it would probably be my favourite. 1987 60 year old Roger Moore, theme song by Adam Ant. Diamond face sucks. The fencing scene is great. James Bond parachuting into London while London Calling blasts was the death rattle for Bond being considered cool. Well cool’ish.

This is where the James Bond franchaise dropped from "well... it's entertaining because James Bond is still cool" to "what in the hell have I just seen?"

Starts off pretty good, then the invisible car and the ice palace show up and it turns into, fuck, I don't know? Diamonds, ice, lasers, pasty albino antagonist, futuristic car chases, harnessing the power of the sun?! Fucking James Bond & Robin?! I don't even know where to start, and there's not enough room here anyway. A master class in pure pants-crapping-crazy film insanity.

A crushing disappointment, and amazingly dull for a 007 movie.

Die Another Day was not only shitty for a Bond film but just shitty for a movie in general. The direction didn't make sense, the writing was lazy and all of the actors completely mailed it in.
