Die Another Day

  Tonight, I went and saw the latest James Bond movie: Die Another Day. I'll admit I haven't like Pierce's Bond movies as much as I enjoyed Connery's and Moore's. This one was pretty good, tho.
  Bond is caught, (suprise suprise!), and tortured at the beginning of the movie. Not the usual sort of Bond plot material. Things continue in that vein thereafter. Halle Berry's NSA agent is as much of a bull-in-a-china-shop agent as Bond is and holds her own on the same terms. There are a series of other new bits, that if I told you, they'd give some very good parts away. Needless to say, I'm going to let you see them for yourself.
  Another good thing is to see that the action and the gagets are back in full force. I very much enjoy watching John Cleese as Q. He brings a great sense of humor to the role. The action is largely non-stop in this film, (Duh! It's a Bond flick!), but it dosen't get too cartoony or out of hand. I am a little dissapointed that the swordfighting's impressiveness is largely due to camera angels and quick changes. But then, not all actors can fight as well as the opening scene of Highlander. If you're a Bond fan, you won't be terribly disappointed, even if you thing Sean is the one and only James Bond.

 One final bit: I just love Moneypenny. :>

Die Another Day earns a $6.50 on the CyberKender scale.
