Fan & Critic Buzz
Some critics consider Die Another Day to be one of the worst Bond films ever made. However, others praise its moments of intrigue and action, calling it one of the top two in Pierce Brosnan's tenure as 007. The movie's theme song is widely panned.
Reviews
Most definitely the worst 'official' James Bond film I have ever seen (haven't seen 'The World Is Not Enough', 'Quantum of Solace' or 'Spectre' yet) but still has its moments, and like The Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd, even the bad stuff is better than 80% of the other stuff out…

John Chard · 5/10_**One of the top two in Brosnan's stint**_ Agent 007 (Pierce Brosnan) is sent to North Korea to investigate a colonel illegally trading weapons for African blood diamonds. The trail eventually leads from Hong Kong to Cuba where Bond meets Jinx (Halle Berry) and infiltrates a gen…
Wuchak · 8/10Without a doubt, the worst James Bond theme song ever - and it tees up quite possibly the worst James Bond film ever made too. The trail features that now iconic shot of Halle Berry coming out of the water and thereafter there is quite literally nothing at all memorable about thi…
CinemaSerf · 5/10This STANK. The Fx were horrible for a Bond movie, especially one made in 2002... and that isn't even getting to the theme song yet. Madonna set the record for the all time worst Bond song in the history of Bond songs. And she set the record for one of the all time worst Bond vil…
GenerationofSwine · 1/10The last of the "very good" 007 films. It isn't spectacular, but it works. There's intrigue, and lots of action, and the dynamics of the heroine-villainess and hero-villain are very good. The "gadgets" are a bit sillier than usual, like the visible invisible car(?) but who cares?…
drystyx · 7/10You know how I said The World Is Not Enough was silly, that doesn't mean much if I like this.
