- Chris Stuckmann reviews Die Another Day, starring Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, Rosamund Pike, Toby Stephens, Rick Yune, Judi Dench, John Cleese, Michael Madsen, Will Yun Lee, Samantha Bond. Directed by Lee Tamahori.
the start was actually intriguing where Bond gets captured and is tortured. It could've gone somewhere interesting with that but instead the rest of the movie happened lol
ablurt_55 My sentiments exactly.
Said the exact same thing first time i saw it
Agreed, the opening is awesome and then 😓
There’s a great storyline there about Bond being abandoned by his government and left to rot for so long. It sets up a great conflict between him and M that could have taken the character into a much deeper and introspective direction before Craig’s time. But then the movie instantly forgets about that and focuses on the real story; Ice Hotels, Sun lasers, and Koreans in white face
Yup, The opening sequence is good and the initial set up is interesting (even if it's similar to one of the Dalton movies) but then he goes to Hawaii and well, that's the end of the good stuff. The rest is just madness ;p
It was hilariously sad that Pierce Brosnan ended his role as James Bond with this one. He was excellent in the role.
So was he.. he thought he was coming back but suddenly casted daniel craig in casino royale
He did return with his voice and likeness in 007 Everything Or Nothing, which in my opinion is one of the absolute best movie licensed games ever made.
@@WH250398 Yea. That was a better way to end things
Yes, especially since if not for his contractual obligations to the TV series Remington Steele, he would've been cast as Bond 8 years earlier instead of Timothy Dalton.
He’s the best bond that’s just me
I'm glad chris is finally talking about this MASTERPIECE
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How much do I love this film? I watched it about halfway through, and then said, "Nah, I could be doing homework."
The best bond movie. There’s definitely not any people that don’t like this movie (yep, not at all).
They went from a movie whose climax had two women fencing and Bond fighting a mech in an airplane flying around a space lazer; to a bunch of people sitting around playing cards. Casio Royal is a good movie sure but I loved this movie, and Casino Royal doesn't have the women or the gadgets or a super villain with a plan to take over the world.
Extremley forgetable movie dont even remember the plot.
"He surfs into Korea, and that is where the film goes south." Actually he goes "North"
He goes north, but the film goes south, which results in the audience completely losing it.
I think he was possibly robbed of a cheesy quip in that first scene like "Surf's Up!". Or if possible one of the local friendly forces giving a "Jambo" hand gesture.
Judy Dench has the best "villain face" man, she scowls so bad I am scared of her.
She must be tough, she pushes her way into every scene when she should be at her desk.
*doo doo ting*
I don’t know why setting in North Korea means it jumps the shark it’s a movie.
Die Another Day broke the Bond rule of using CGI instead of record breaking stunts. When he surged down that PS2 looking tidal wave I laughed.
It looked impressive 19 years ago
@@adorabasilwinterpock6035 I didn't think so 😂I went cinema to watch it and hated it lol. This was 3 years after the Matrix
CGI at the time , worst looking wave was Escape from LA .
@@adorabasilwinterpock6035 no its not lmao for 2002 standard its pure garbage
In Norway, that "big bang" line was translated as "Has Bond told you his theory on black holes" and I remember laughing so hard at it.
hahaha.. oh man that's bad
Like Halle berry suggesting anal?
@@Davidsworldtravels Billy Bob Thornton got that covered
You're kidding me? Lmfao
The James Bond film that goes the most batshit insane.
Moonraker is also up there. I mean, they have a space battle with lasers and shit.
Nathaniel Foga thats what makes it good!
And that's what make this the best james bond movie yet
It's so fucking weird. I love it.
We were one step away from having nanomachines in that plot.
Genuinely surprised that this isn't a hilariocity review
Batman Fan Same tbh. It’s like prime hilariocity material
This is oscar worthy compared to the hilariocity movies
It’s not that bad
Do a hilariocity on Star Trek beyond cuz that film sucks crappy plot holes and humor
It borders on a “Hilaricocity” which makes it all the more disingenuous.
Did he just give the James bond movie with arguably the most sexual innuendos a D+, and pretended like it was nothing?
I c wut u did there
I thin that's what the + is for
well spotted :D
Tomorrow Never Dies probably has the most relevant villain, just in terms of a media/tech mogul who thinks he's god. It is the 2nd best Brosnan in my opinion.
Murdock/Weistein/someone else?
I think the concept of that movie was far ahead of its time. a villain using media to manipulate citizens. sadly apart from its main theme the movie never got anything else right. What could have been a smart intelligent thought provoking thriller on media and its ill influence turns into a routine action movie. It seems the makers were quite focused on getting the chemistry between Michelle Yeoh and Bond and to showcase the martial arts skills of her. Obviously the movie came at a time when Chinese audience was getting to be really important for Hollywood and the hence the makers wanted to ensure they made that appeal.
Totally agree. And also Michelle Yeoh
Any Bond movie with the British Navy gets higher marks imo
I watched for the first time in years a few days ago on tv and I still enjoyed like I did back in the day
I see you started with the finest James Bond film of all time.
Wtf?
@@martam4142 r/woooosh
Respect for Chris for not forcing this to be a hilariocity review and actually acknowledging what little quality this movie had ✊
He didn’t.
The part where he's surfing and then goes off the ice ramp at the end even Pierce looked like he wanted to get out of this movie as fast as possible lol
"Bond, you will infiltrate the North Korean coast via an unorthodox method."
"Mini submersible??"
"No,...have you ever seen the movie Point Break?"
James Bond is one of those franchises where I love the terrible films alongside the great ones, just for different reasons :)
Agent James Bond is either silly or poignant
Same, even the “weaker” Bond movies have their moments. One of my least favorites, is The Man With the Golden Gun has that amazing car stunt.
You can enjoy the terrible movies as pure schlock
Except for Spectre, that movie bores me to tears.
Me but with Star Wars
Tomorrow Never Dies is the most underrated Bond film. It's scary how relevant the villan is in todays world.
Class film.
Also that villain boat was really cool!
Did they predicted that issue ahead of time?
Completely agree, love World Is Not Enough as well
Who's the villain?
Fun fact, Madonna is still the only theme song artist to also make a cameo in the movie.
@@HOTD108_ who else made a cameo in their movie then
Don Beverage he’s right. She cameos in the movie
her theme song was certainly great. it just it wasn't a good choice for a Bond movie
@DevilKaz exactly Madonna's song is at least listenable. Sam Smith's theme on the other hand is a straight garbage
Sheena Easton was in the opening titles of For Your Eyes Only but not a character in the actual movie
The opening sequence of this movie is epic.
I don't care what anyone says.
Really the whole first half isn't that bad.
Agreed this movie is pretty decent in the first half, especially the Cuba scenes. It takes a shit once they get to the ice palace
@@fadetoblackdude7 Yep. The second-half failure (plus the success of Casino Royale) definitely damaged Brosnan's legacy. Wish he'd gotten a 5th film.
Things I learned today: Goldeneye and Casino Royale were directed by the same guy.
Martin gets it!
I knew that back in 2006. Also Mask of Zorro is better than both of them.
also Green Lantern
And Edge of Darkness.
Also The Foreigner
I don't find 'Tomorrow Never Dies' as boring, even with the exposition-full script. Probably because I'm biased as that was the first Bond film I've ever seen.
That one was excellent I felt! First off, Michelle Yeoh being the best action driven Bond girl. Then you got Jonathon Price channeling an older school villain with that modern flair. That remote control BMW, the stealth ship, I can go on haha.
It was also my first 007 film
Been watching all of the bond films over the last couple of weeks. Watch TND last night, its ok. But it is more boring compared to the other Pierce Brosnon films. But the bond girl really elevates it. License to Kill is the true underrated bond movie.
@@MegaCrocosaurus92 Don't forget that helicopter vs motorcycle chase in Vietnam.
@@MegaCrocosaurus92 This. I was never bored...the slower parts had a lot of character building and less non-important romantic moments like some other films. Lots of development for Bond here imo. For example, the "boring" talking scenes with Teri Hatcher's character/her death.
The action scenes are some of my favorite in all of Bond tbh...especially the whole middlel part with the hotel/helicopter in the market. Also, the best puns.
Personally, this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine.
I do find it strange that it starts off really dark in the beginning, but then goes bananas in the 2nd and 3rd act.
Yeah it's stupid but still entertaining
Same, well the most memorable experience i had with this movie that i used to have a massive crush on Rosamund Pike and i still have lol. She's just gorgeous as a Bond girl, i do wish she's given a better material
007: Die Another Day - The original Fast & Furious.
The Fast And The Furious actually came out a year before this. But yeah, you could say this was like a prototype for what the Fast and Furious films would become. Even more so than the early F&F films themselves
Toretto: Family!
Bond: Martini. ;-)
More like Triple X on cocaine. XD
Rick Yune, the actor who played Zao, also played Johnny Tran in FF1
Pretty sure Gone in 60 Seconds was the original F&F X'D
I have to say - I have a totally different opinion on 'Tomorrow never dies' - I found it interesting and very clever how they played with the classic bad guy trying to gain 'world domination' - he even uses this line in his monologue, with a cool take on it. Michelle Yeoh is always a win - and the motorcycle escaping the helicopter was an iconic scene.
Yeah it’s great!!!! It’s one of the most entertaining Bond films
I didnt like the action scenes in that one, they feel very staged and artificial
The helicopter one is just ridiculous, but i still prefer that to the ending lol
I always loved Tomorrow Never Dies, one of my childhood favourites. Me and my dad loved Elliott Carver as a villain, some of his dialogue and the actor's take on his persona is just fantastic! Parts of the movie and the story were a bit mediocre, and the scenes with the stealth boat weren't always that exciting, HOWEVER I always loved two of the earlier action scenes; one being the car chase when Bond is in the backseat, driving it himself... and the other being the iconic motorbike chase in Ho Chi Minh, I absolutely loved that when I was younger! Michelle Yeoh is another example of a great Bond girl, who isn't just a sex object but another spy who is completely badass and can handle herself in almost any situation.
Lots of people showing support for Tomorrow Never Dies in the comments section.
Great to see!
There are two types of Bond films: the serious ones and the fantasy ones.
This is one of the fantasy films and I enjoy it as such, especially the spy vs. spy car duel. But it’s got a lot of twist and turns and nonsense. It’s not a straightforward story like the Roger Moore fantasies such as Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker... still kinda fun.
This movie is actually not bad at all. It’s surprisingly good.
As silly as the villain twist is, the actor playing Graves actually does a good job when we learn who he really is. When he’s talking to his dad, the way he stands and his manner of speaking are very identical to the actor playing the role at the beginning of the movie.
Toby Stephens is such an underrated actor.
I used to hate Madonna's Bond theme song... but to be honest, it kinda grew on me over the years lol
Unlike Madonna's face, her music has aged very well. In fairness to the face, it probably wouldn't look alien-like if she hadn't dropped millions on botched plastic surgery.
Radiohead’s unused song for Spectre is awesome
Yeah becuase Alicia Keys and Jack White's "song" it's way worse. XD
Yeah, It's possible the only good song off the album American Life
Michael G I don’t think she got that much work done....she’s just old tbh
I've always found Tomorrow Never Dies super entertaining. It's a b-movie, but fun. I don't understand how one can find Die Another Day better. Yes, something's always happening, but that doesn't make it good.
There always something happening in Rise Of Skywalker, and that movie is dreadful.
As someone who would watch several James Bond videos a day as a kid...I can pretty much not even remember Tomorrow Never Dies.
It's the one with the big tall blonde henchman and the drill thing that attacks submarines or whatever? That's honestly about all I remember and I think it's the one where he drives the car using a phone up a parking complex maybe?
To me that one lacked any sort of flair. I enjoy even the crappy Bond movies if not just due to nostalgia but that one is a nothing movie in my mind.
SCharlesDennicon agree! I thought tomorrow never dies was decent but found die another day to be one of the worst film's ever! I also thought Goldeneye was shit which is strange because i think casino royale was the best bond film to date and that was also directed by Martin Campbell
Yeah, I love this film, it's really bad but entertaining.
I agree.
The World is Not Enough is actually my favorite of Brosnan's Bond movies. It had a lot of intrigue, Robert Carlyle was a fantastic and incredibly unnerving villain, and actually more complex than one would expect.
Sophie was amazing
Well i could've said that too unfortunately there was one horrible performance that really affected the entire movie for me so Goldeneye is my favorite
Mine too!!!!! Tomorrow Never Dies also comes second
Goldeneye. Come on. That fight on the sub was pretty average tbh.
Overall it's def underrated. Lays all the groundwork for the best aspects of Craig's era (same writers).
6:32 - It's called a fictional surgical procedure, kind of like how they turned John Travolta into Nicolas Cage and then Nicolas Cage into John Travolta.
Weeee you good lookin!
@@adamfrisk956 "It's like looking in a mirror only not"
This is one of the weirdest movies ever, in that there is so much "futuristic" crap thrown in, that I forgot half of it and the bits I remember feel like they must be a fever dream I had, even when Chris shows me clips, I'm thinking did that actually happen.
I loved this movie when it came out. I was a kid at the time and this is basically a cartoon movie in live action! It's hilarious and ridiculous in retrospect.
@@HOTD108_ Well, I was an eight year old with no standards for bond-films. Does that explain my opinion at the time?
Squirrel
Just like Moonraker I’m 79’, although it was considered successful, and more films came right away, but the zaniness is similar. As a kid these were just fun action/adventure flicks, with no reality needed.
@@CorbCorbin yep. DAD definitely leaned more toward Moore than Dalton with its plot.
I think another weird James Bond movie is A View to A Kill. But you have to watch it a few times for it to grow on you and I always enjoy Roger Moore charm. He 57 years old in this movie and still put s on a good performance👍
The World Is Not Enough is an amazing Bond adventure. Fight me
Love goldeneye and the world is not enough! I think they're both campy masterpieces!
I really like it too. The theme song by garbage is also awesome and one of the only intros I unironically enjoy.
It’s a good one
Amen brother you got that right
Hot take: there are some great scenes in this amongst the crap.
Cooper Carter mainly Halle Berry on that beach
The stuff in Korea and Cuba then that’s it.
What are you? Some kind of edgelord?
The opening with hoverboards the bond in prison and shit etc is pretty sick
Totally agree. I enjoyed it. It is what it is...
Silliness aside in all the rest of the movie, this movie's torture montage at the beginning is the most legit thing Bond has run into in any of the movies i've happened to have seen. I mean in the more recent and lauded Casino Royale the whole bottomless wicker chair nut whacking would hurt (I'm a guy, I get it) but to my eyes that scene looked more like Jackass than Syriana. In this film I actually felt bad for Bond at that point.
I liked the idea of Bond getting captured and tortured mostly in a " Where's your Omega Seamaster now? " kind of a way. Just to bring him down a peg.
Chris' idea of Bond getting tortured by Madonna music had me rolling. 😂
But seriously, the idea of Bond getting tortured was a nice one. Too bad they don't actually explore what that means to him here. It's just back to business as usual.
The torture scene in Casino Royal was a low point in the film for me, despite it being one of my favorite movies of all time. It just seemed so over-cooked in terms of torture. Maybe I'm missing something, and this is a real type fo torture that really gets results, but there are so many more obvious ways of torture that don't get into weird sexual areas. I think they were going for some sort of meaning in attacking James Bond's penis, which is supposed to be of such importance to him and the world. But... seriously. As a straight man, I'm not going anywhere near another man's penis for any reason. Pull the guys fingernails or something. He keeps his pants on and it's likely much more effective.
@@JazGalaxy It was taking directly from the Fleming novel and had the Bond worrying if he still could perform in bed lol. His Mojo was restored by Vesper Lynd only to having him wishing her death at the end after he was portrayed of course.
@@keyaamabrahams7984 really? That was from the novel? Interesting. But yeah still weird. Stripping someone naked before torturing him in the balls is a bit too gay BDSM for me
That surf scene in the end was a CGI mess.. he seemed more like a comic book character towards the end
My name is Mr Kill...
James Bond: "Now that's a name to die for!"
To be honest, this looks like what fast and furious is turning into
right, "turned" into........
You seen Hobbs and Shaw?! Um yup.
lmao Fast and Furious makes this movie look like a masterpiece
Agreed
exactly.
Honestly the sword fight scene in this movie is really awesome.
I'll be honest, I miss the shamelessness of the 2000's.
Best username ever
The shamelessness of the 90's was even more shameless. Or less shameful. You get what I mean.
TheNegronomicon
I hear you. And I think the reason I like the twist is because of my deep love affair with Face/Off. Bought it there - bought it here.
M
Me too
Same. We need to bring that back.
This Bond movie will always have a special place in my heart- it was the first Bond movie I saw in theaters. One thing I always wonder if the female roles were reversed, have Rosamund Pike be the Bond girl and Hallie Berry be the femme fatale.
This is LITERALLY the FIRST James Bond film I EVER watched. My sister worked at the theater and got me in for free. Even as a child, I was like "THIS IS TERRIBLE".
Quit following the bandwagon, it’s not that bad
No you didn’t
That’s hilarious
Goldeneye was my fav, I'd like to see him do more but given the direction of this film, I guess it's better we moved on lol
Wow. A bond movie review. Not what I was expecting but what I need now.
It was meh. Rosamund Pike made it bearable lol. Man she's gorgeous in this.
Hot af
She is still gorgeous af. She became hotter as she aged. Have you seen Gone Girl? Goddamn
@@KJ-je9pm she looking like a double wide surprise
she made me forget about halle berry
I love this movie. It was my first bond film as a kid and I even watched it again the other day and it’s just so goofy and nostalgic to me that I can’t help but have fun watching it.
Yeah at least it's entertaining
I'll take this one over Her Majesty's secret service and Live and let die
Those movies are fucking boring
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!
It's fun and action packed!
I own it on DVD and will own it FOREVER!!
I have good memories of this movie, more-so than other Bond films. It was over the top and just fun to watch.
WHAT??? Tomorrow Never Dies is awesome. And it feels oddly relevant with the manipulation of media these days
Yes, it is. What with the sudden increase of media...Carving it up. ;)
4:05, Brosnan said in an interview that he remembers making Golden Eye, but the rest is a blur.😂
Yes he did, in the documentary. If you haven't seen it check it out! It's called Everything Or Nothing.
I actually loved the whole movie. The sword fight was one of the best action scenes in Bond series.
Golden Eye is to this day still my favorite James Bond. And those scenes with Xenia! O.O
I also received my first boner from those scenes.
Goldeneye was average at best
"A giant frikken lazer beam... that jumps the shark" - Dr Gustav Evil
Shiirow I giant sun beam were we see that before oh star wars
the invisible car jumps the shark - the giant laser beam I would say is in keeping with bond. For one theres been other giant space weapons before: golden eye, man with the golden gun...
I actually really like this movie, and Pierce's other Bond movies
Last of Us 2: Delayed Indefinitely
Chris: "Can I offer you a Bond Review in this trying time?"
At least we got Resident Evil 3 for the time being
Last of us 2 I herd coming out in May
Ryan S it got delayed indefinitely today after being slated for a may 29th release date
@@SaberRexZealot and doom eternal
No mention of Zao? One of the more underrated villains imo. Rick Yune brought a lot of physicality and intimidation.
George Price
Yeah and Chris just rated the new Trolls movie a C-...... seriously... he thinks Trolls is better than this... how sad.
Not to mention his expensive bling acne.
Fiona Valope was more intimidating than Zao.
Die another day is still the only bond film iv'e seen in the cinema, loved it.
Sure, Die Another Day isn't a great Bond film, but I still like it. Then again I really like all the films because I grew up on them, so I'm biased...
Um... did you live in a place without timeless classics?
Like, "I'd rather buy DVDs instead of going to the movies and watch Terminator 3, Bad Boys II, or X2"
I grew up with it too but I still fucking hate it
This movie is glorious insanity; a masterpiece trainwreck
Underrated Bond movie.
Pierce Brosnan is at his best in The World Is Not Enough, love that film
Underrated
Jedrek Nadobnik Goldeneye was his best film.
@@samuelstokes6624 Why do you even need to state the obvious?
Life’s full of small charges
Nopp goldeneye is brosan best bond movie.;):)
Rosamund Pike is one of the most beautiful Bond Girls or villains in the history of the Bond franchise.
I really wish she could come back to do another Bond movie. She's a very good Bond girl, just wish with a better material to work with
When Bond is skating across the ice upside down in his car and used the ejector seat to flip the car to avoid the missile was pretty cool.
0:25 “surfing into NORTH korea should have been a pretty clear indicator that this movie was going to go SOUTH real fast”
I see what you did there 😃
I actually liked the gene therapy aspect of the story, and how it added a twist for the main villans at the end too. That sorta thing's actually pretty unique in movies, let alone Bond movies. I really wish there was more done with it though, cus it's only relevant throughout parts of the movie and isn't brought up much, even if the ending did a lot with that theme.
Also I gotta say, when General Moon saw that his son became Graves through DNA manipulation, and realized he had lost his son not only physically, but also ideologically (General Moon wanted Korea to reunite peacefully, but his son wanted to wage war and take on the world; General Moon also let him study at Harvard and Oxford in an attempt to bridge the gap between the East and West), among other aspects, it really tug at my heart strings a little lol
I actually enjoyed this movie despite it's issues.
Yeah it's a fun film.
Especially if you're a fan of the sillier Bond films, this isn't much different than a lot of Moore's Bond films.
@@cookiesontoast9981 I agree.
i watched this sing above every Craig Movi (except skyfall)
I remember my old man roaring in laughter in the theater at the wave surfing scene. Still makes me smile whenever I think of it.
The Lazer Beam in Die Another Day always reminds me of the Hammer of Dawn in Gears of War!
Too bad they didn't nicknamed the North Korean villain, Diamond Face.💎💎💎 AKA Whitewashed.
I just came up with the ultimate shock trilogy for a movie night: Die Another Day, Crank, and Crank: High Voltage.
I actually enjoy this movie. definitely my childhood nostalgia
Child abuse more like
Exactly 😅 same here.. still have the dvd
Goldeneye was also my favorite. I was so in love with Famke ❤️😅
„Die Another Day“ is a bit over the top at points, but I enjoyed the action immensely and feel that it is an underrated Bond film. „Quantum of Solace“ & „Spectre“ were inferior by comparison. Brosnan is great.
Jan Wagner this was at least entertaining and memorable, I can’t really remember much about spectre and quantum
@Superpiair1 Gotta say - from all the Craig-Bonds, I liked his "after-Quantum"-movies. Skyfall was good, Spectre was good, I'm looking forward to "no time to die".
Superpiair1 yeah, it kind of just fell apart. It still wasn’t bad, just not much about it was memorable
Thomas Martin Spectre, like Solace, suffered from an utterly confusing, and hence, boring plot. A total waste of actors and money. It‘s interesting - as bad as Spectre and Solace were, Skyfall and Casino Royale especially were just terrific. The Craig era has been very up and down
I like this movie for what it is: a silly over-the-top sci-fi action movie. All in all, I'd say this is a bad Bond movie, but a pretty entertaining action movie.
I had to laugh when he said about the song to the movie being Torture 😂😂
I’m someone who hasn’t watched a Bond film ever, yet. But this film was my introduction to Bond, and I swear it was through a Nick Magazine full page “ad”, which was basically the poster in magazine size on regular magazine paper. And there was the fact that Halle Berry was the Bond girl, I remember how much of a big deal that was. But I still never saw it
It's the worst one in the whole series.
Expendable Indigo So I’ve heard.
Watch Casino Royale. You can thank me later.
I wouldn't say "worst" as people usually say. this movie certainly had it's own moments, the actors did their best in what they had in hand. the production was big like some big budget sci fi, had some of the most hottest Bond girls ever. I think if "James Bond" title wasn't attached with this movie then it would be appreciated by the people more
I will say I do have an affinity for Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion, which basically makes Tim Curry a Bond villain. It even got Michael Clarke Duncan!
If you want to see Pierce play James one more time after this movie, play the game 007: Everything or Nothing.
XRJ92 such a dope game
@@adamolufson7338 Yep
I love that game
@@armandoc2584 Me too.
Awesome game. Still holds up very very well
This one is really weird because it starts really interesting and dark, with great cinematography, an then it goes completely off the rails.
Say what you want but I thought that sword fight and the Minefield chase were awesome.
The opening of this movie was filmed down the road from my house in the south of England.
The film crew were cool to chat to!
Review The spy who loved me.
I legit laughed when u mentioned Terri Hatcher when referring to how Tomorrow Never Dies was the least interesting.
I see it:
Goldeneye
The World Is Not Enough
Tomorrow Never Dies
Die Another Day
100% agree
To me:
Goldeneye
The World is Not Enough
Die Another Day
Tomorrow Never Dies.
Die Another Day may be silly but I think it's more entertaining than Tomorrow Never Dies.
I'm someone who loves Roger Moore's Bond so a silly Bond isn't something I look down upon.
I agree with that order 100% The World is not enoug is very underrated.
Would just like to just say thank you for actually including spoilers in a review (with, of course, the appropriate heads up to those who don't want them). I like this format a LOT better than when you try and skirt around them with "the funniest thing happens but I don't want to spoil it but you guys who've seen it will know what I'm talking about!"
Especially needed them in this case, where it's been so long since I've seen any of the Brosnan Bonds that all I can remember at this point is "YES! I AM INVEENCIBULLLL!" 😁
Brosnan is THE Bond of Generation X... My Generation!
Goldeneye FOREVER!👍
Hi Chris, I know many people do not like Die Another Day, but I do. As you said, the score (from Madona's song) is upbeat and brilliant, much like Live and Let Die. Every time the musical cue kicks in, the movie switches gears. The actions sequences are amazing, over the top, but yes still amazing. Loved the main villains, the body guard is eye catching as an albino asian with diamonds stuck to his skull. 3 baddies (The trinity is usually reserved for the good guys) and Bond... looses in the opening credits! That's a first! Bond up until then (except for You Only Live Twice) always wins to showcases him. From Russia With Love doesn't count because it's revealed it is not Bond.
This one was bad. Although I did like tomorrow never dies. The villain is more relevant to today since he's a media mogul that causes all the mayhem for ratings and sensationalism.
Agreed , tomorrow never dies is pretty underrated actually
I agree that the villains relevant. Jonathan Pryce is a good actor, but man was he awful in that film. The rest of the movie is ok, but his performance is over the top it's laughable and drags the film down
This movie is great! The stuff in North Korea in the beginning, the epic sword fight, Halle Berry, the ending plane battle and then they fall out of the exploding plane in a helicopter and start the helicopter in midair (which I don’t think you could do but I don’t care)! Awesome movie. Second best Brosnan Bond movie right behind Goldeneye. The other 2 were kind of boring.
The start when he gets captured and tortured was amazing! I was totally drawn in, because we'd never really seen Bond lose that badly before, and it was a different path that could have led to some interesting character development. Instead, it just went into farce and Bond hardly seemed phased by his ordeal. A complete waste of a great idea.
Please Review “Schlindler’s list & Saving private Ryan”
This was Brosnan's Bond's jump-the-shark moment. Every Bond had them, except Dalton and Lazenby.
Connery had 'Diamonds Are Forever', Moore had 'Moonraker and Craig had 'Spectre'.
I'd argue that Quantum of Solace is Craig's worst, not Spectre...
Ivanildo Pereira dont think he’s saying worst, just that it jumps the shark, which is different, as in it gets too ridiculous
@@ivanildopereira3181 QOS is like an epilogue to Casino Royale, its short and certainly not a stand alone movie. But id say spectre is certainly more campy and has plot holes and more stupid bad bondisms that drag it below QOS imo. But everyone can agree both are very supbar compared to the masterpiece Casino Royale and the very solid Skyfall.
Connery also had Never Say Never Again. It was just so flat.
Um, Lazenby had his...it was called OHMSS🤣
*Stuckmann... Chris Stuckmann*
Get Stuckmannized! *Stuckmann’s theme song plays*
At least Halle Berry didn't get her pants caught on barbed wire.
Explain
@@Phinal_Flash I was referring to a scene iv _Tremors_ where a hot chick got her pants caught on barbed wire, so the only way she could escape the monsters was by taking off her pants.
@@hueyiroquois3839 oh okay lol.
You should give Tomorrow Never Dies another chance. The villain being a media mogul makes more sense once you realize how powerful, corrupt and warhungry the mainstream media has become. One of the only mainstream films that touches the topic of manufactured consent.
5:30 thats the one thing you have to give Brosnan, that he was committed. He did not phone it in or just went through the motions, he actually tried.
If there’s one positive I can say is that this movie definitely isn’t forgettable lol
You're right. It's bad but its more memorable than Quantum of Solace.
I actually liked this movie when I was a kid lol
its at least not Boring, like Spectre
DasKame as someone who isn’t so attached to bond I thought all the Craig films were good acept quantum
@@theaveragemoviegoer3769 nah, i didnt like the Craig Ones, except skyfall, i like it more silly and memorable
DasKame yeah I like them cause of the action sequences and Craig is pretty great and I respect the stuff they try to do with him
But James Bond is arguably suppose to be a bit silly and skyfall is a perfect blend between serious and silly in my opinion
@@DasKame spectre was decent
This movie basically felt like a mission impossible film, with some iron man elements in it🙈
Neither mission impossible or Iron man movie is this bad even IM:2 and Iron Man: 2 and i hate those movies.
I knew what the plane scene at the end of iron man 3 reminded me of!
This is more of a Fast and Furious movies, the 2010s ones if you compare that to this
Peirce Brosnan is the James Bond I am born with or maybe most 90s kids would, Craig is great in his role, but there is something that made Brosnam special.
I totally agree but still, this is my favorite Bond movie. Love the technology, even love the invisible Aston Martin. The score sounds very modern and "tech", making it a perfect fit. The car chase might be over the top due to the missiles but at least it's exciting! Compare that to the boring tour of Rome in Spectre! I also like how Bond got caught and tortured at the beginning. It makes him seem vulnerable, something everybody praised about the first movie with Craig.
Review On Her Majesty's Secret Service man it’s on my top 5 favourite bond movies take care Chris 👍
Carl Keenan I agree, and also review License To Kill
spaceodds 1985 license to kill is a classic I remember that was the bond movie my parents wouldn’t let me watch when I was about 8 or 9 😂
This was the first Bond film I saw in the cinema, I was 9 so I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I still rank it among my favourite Bond films, albeit mostly because I watch it as a comedy.
Tomorrow Never Dies is my second favorite of Brosnan’s portrayal of James Bond. The ending theme should’ve been the damn theme song, not Cheryl Crow’s!
DAD is an entertaining albeit laughable mess but Tomorrow Never Dies is far from boring thanks exclusively to Michelle Yeoh.
I'd like to see reviews for On Her Majesty's Secret Service and For Your Eyes Only since they're regarded as the more under-rated Bond films.
And two of my favorites.
I’m genuinely upset Lazemby never got another chance at Bond. I thought he was great and OHMSS is one of my favorite Bond films
@@r520jr8 He had a chance but rejected it
