I actually like Zao's diamond face, as we see Bond create the henchman's disfigurement. It's much better than, say, SP.
The problem is that neither Yune nor Will Yun Lee are particularly good actors. The only good ones in DAD are Rosamund Pike, Brosnan (finally hitting his stride), and Dench.
I like Zao's diamond face, too. Clever idea for a henchman and visually striking. I was making a wordplay on 'diamond in the rough.'
Agree about the weaker performances. They're okay, but not great.
Ah! Well that's understandable then.
Yes I wonder how many more videos M made before her death...
She did 'M does Dallas' but I think the British Government banned it when it came to the Shetland pony scene.
Tarzan calls
JW Pepper
Beach boy songs
Clown makeup
Yeah fair point.
I should have added
title song fourteen minutes in
gun barrel at end of film
hotels in deserts or hotels made of ice
direct sequels
Definitely don't want these two !!
Personally, though, I prefer the PPK. Or maybe even the PPK/S from Skyfall. That shouldn't be a one-time thing for Bond to have a palm-print reading sidearm.
Sure darling.
At least, that's what I think it was.
Korean is such a fun language.
The Korean complaints toward the film on its release were more about the US military barking commands to the Republic of Korean Army. In their own country.
My complaint: no beautiful Korean Bond Girl, since the Scorpion Lady doesn't count.
Fun, fun.
Well said! =D>
However I do agree with some of the above posters that there are still elements to enjoy. The film is, at very least, spectacular and a real visual treat. There are also some interesting side characters, such as Raoul. Toby Stepehen's hams things up, and he was born to play a sneering villain. The swordfight at Blades, Iceberg car chase and the infiltration of the gene therapy clinic are all excellent action sequences. Also, looking past the puns, Brosnan has a nice, world weary performance as Bond.
Unfortunately the Pro's outweigh the Con's and Die Another Day comfortably sits in the bottom 3 of the series for me.
It has actually risen in my list from #23 to #20 recently.
I'd much rather "realistic" gadgets (hidden compartments in a briefcase or in a car where Bond can stash a sharp knife or three).
The writers were lazy in SP, especially re-cycling old gadgets (but with a twist!). Since we can pretty much do anything on our phone, the writers hafta find a way of massaging equipment in the film that doesn't stand out. And should be something that seems realistic.
Doing a cute tour of Q's office worked well in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even the early to mid 90s.
But tech has come so far nowadays that to be ahead of it would border on satire or sci-fi, and would take this viewer out of the film.
Keep the gadgets grounded, or;
No Q worked very well in CR and QOS. Perhaps we can give Ben the next film off?....
Week by week this will build into a beautiful collection. Part 1 just 1.99, out now.
