Amazon.com
The 20th James Bond adventure, Die Another Day succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to Austin Powers by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy and worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan's got style and staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to Ian Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's paired with American agent Jinx (Berry) in chasing a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything. John Cleese and Judi Dench reprise their recurring roles (as "Q" and "M," respectively); they're accompanied by weapons-laden sports cars, a hokey cameo by Madonna (who sings the techno-pulsed theme song), and enough double-entendres to keep Bond-philes adequately shaken and stirred. With clever nods to 007's cinematic legacy, Die Another Day makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond will return. --Jeff Shannon

 unbelievably hopeless January 8, 2009
I simply cannot believe how anyone in their right mind could enjoy this film. It lacked continuity, was completely disjointed, and saying the characters were two dimensional is a compliment , not to mention the dialogue which was nothing less than laughable - and the plot ??? , where was that again, please really !!! I can see why it was his swan song - If you like GOOD Bond films do not waste your money !
 Beware if you own Sharp BD HP20U January 7, 2009
The Blu-Ray Die Another Day would not play on my Sharp BD HP20U. Checking the web, I suspect that I need to upgrade my firmware.
I am still trying to do this, which requires downloading a file from Sharp onto a USB drive, then going through a procedure with the player, involving a little USB slot on the back of the machine. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to do this successfully, although I am still trying. Amazon was kind enough to refund my money, no questions asked. However, after checking internet sites, I note a lot of comments about the need to upgrade firmware to deal with incompatibilities with certain discs, and the fact that some people have trouble doing so. The process on a Sharp BD-HP20U is not very easy, I am technically probably more savvy than most, but you almost have to be Fully Qualified Geek to upgrade firmware. This is definitively something these companies need to improve. If you do the upgrade wrongly, you can render your player into a useless non functioning pile of junk.

 One of my favorites in my honest opinion January 7, 2009
Alot of people seem to have differnt opinions of this film and everyone is entitled to them. They all range from bad acting, stupid plot, and Madonna. I actually enjoyed this one very much and I found it more entertaining than Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough. To keep things simple and short, Every Bond film has to have a unique or menacing villain and this movie had it. Zao's pale skin and diamonds embeded in his face did it for me. The gadgets was pretty cool as well. But my personal favorite was the car chase scene with Zao and Bond both with equal fire power on their cars. Madonna's cameo was stupid but I just pretend she isn't there and the movie is 5 stars for me.
3 stars out of 4 December 27, 2008
The Bottom Line:
Though Die Another Day suffers from its inclusion of bad CGI effects and a tendency to go all-out preposterous, it does enough things differently and enough things right to make it barely worth a recommendation, especially if you're a Bond aficionado who wants to catch all the references to previous Bond outings.

I ordered the product which was pictured here, because I wanted to add to my Son's collection. The DVD I received was a different cover. I ordered again, only to receive the wrong one again. I have now ordered a third time, and really hope that this will be the correct one as Christmas is near and I really wanted to help him complete the collection he started. The one pictured here is the correct one. If there is any way that Amazon can make this correction, I would appreciate it. How can I specify to Amazon that I want only the one pictured and not a substitute? I have ordered many other books and DVD's from
Amazon and have always been entirely satisfied.
