Flat, distressingly witless -- To put it bluntly -- the thrill is gone. Nobody did it better. But that was then.

When his top-secret mission is sabotaged, James Bond finds himself captured by the enemy, abandoned by MI6, and stripped of his 00-license. Determined to get revenge, Bond goes head-to-head with a sultry spy, a frosty agent, and a billionaire whose secret is a diabolical weapon that could bring the world to its knees.

What are critics saying?
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Pierce Brosnan has mastered every smidgen of 007 schtick, making the role more thoroughly his own than any actor since Sean Connery -- still the best of the batch -- decided to call it quits.
Washington Post by Desson Thomson
Surely it will not be giving things away to tell you there's absolutely nothing new about the latest episode.
Dallas Observer by Gregory Weinkauf
Tamahori pumps a tremendous amount of energy into his Bond movie, and it's an electrifying ride.
The result is the niftiest Bond movie in years -- fresh, funny, and jammed to the rafters with demented stunts, Boys'-Own gadgetry and brazen promiscuity.
The many shots of characters operating devices with remote controls will do little to quiet the complaints that the films have started to resemble video games, and the same can be said of the proliferating digital effects.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
Every hero needs to be revitalized by a little humiliation, and for at least the first 40 minutes of Die Another Day, Bond's dressing-down seems to do him and the movie franchise a world of good.
New York Post by Megan Lehmann
Aside from a jarringly fake computer-generated avalanche scene that momentarily challenges the necessary suspension of disbelief, the big-bang set pieces are superbly crafted.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
The new movie lacks something, a special something. It's a quality that has characterized some of the best of the first 19 Bond movies: extravagant ludicrousness.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
The savviest and most exciting Bond adventure in years, and that's because there's actually something at stake in it.
