Sum up Die Another Day in 007 words or less. Feel free to add in as many 007 Words Or Less reviews as you wish. The more the better!

Examples:

Dear...God...
Brosnan's Best By Far
Could do with better villains

Crap on Another Day ??

Purvis and Wade strike back

"I wish I could make" this "vanish".

CG so bad you want to kill yourself

Bullet in the gunbarrel-scene was meant for me <- I cheated.

Well you know me - I love all the films you hate and hate all the films you love -

Die Another Day - lazy title
Iceland stunning and sums up all that I think a Bond film should be and have - surreal; taking us to places we've never seen in another film.
Editing is par excellence.
Compromised titles.
I just love that hour in Iceland.

Underrated just like the other Brosnan films.
Brosnan ends his Bond stint with bang.
Miranda Frost is very very very pretty. :)
Maybe they stayed in Iceland too long.
"You do now."- classic line.

Promising beginning, terrible second half

Easily the worst Bond film

Brosnan phoned in his performance

The worst CGI in film history

Computers are no match for stunts, miniatures

Classic on occasion, marred by poor execution. ("Do you like like to do it yourself?" from "The 40 Year Old Virgin" seems like a lost Purvis and Wade line)

What the hell is Madonna doing here?

Moon is not menacing, Graves lacks strength.

Will become the most dated looking, quick.

OK....maybe 'Battlefield Earth','Glitter','Any Given Sunday','Gone in 60 seconds',Torque,Stealth,Shaft...and all Seagal's..etc are worse but measured against my expectations as a Bond fan it's the worst film of the 21st Centry,for me. :)

I think Tarl is really secretly watching Die Another Day right now for the 100th time, and he's just ashamed to admit it.

In all fairness, I have seen Moonraker more than once.

I've seen DAD several times, mainly because watching it was a great way to test out my new speakers for my TV. :)

Miranda Frost = Nobody Does It Better

I actually like the title song

Plot too weak

Gags went a bit overboard

Drop the Female Bond idea

The First Half is exellent, the story line isnt great but it's ok they have the bond girls down, and the weapons, and gadgets along with the awesome Aston Martin(vanish)and definitly good sound effects when your listining to it on a professional 3000watt setup.

Thoroughly useless
Makes Thunderball look classic
One of the worst movies ever?
Toby Stevens has a tantrum, wets nappies
Rosamunde Pike is a budding non-talent
Cleese's sharp wit wasted
some chuckles do not a movies make
"ramping" goes in XXX, not Bond movies
Halle makes me miss Tanya Roberts
wish I could make this movie disapeer

We already knew Diamonds were forever. (or We didn't need to find out again.)

Miranda Frost is absolutely gorgeous.

North Korea through Cuba is all cool.

Gustav Graves...Go go power rangers.

Jinx needs to kill herself.

Jinx made me want to kill myself.

Makes MR look like OHMSS.
Worst title in the series.
Worst theme song in the series.
Worst poster artwork in the series.
Worst example of a Bond film.....ever.
I like it better than Patch Adams.
It's actually a better film than Gigli.
