Die Another Day
He’s never been cooler.
After being tortured by the North Koreans for 14 months, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is released and clashes with a British adventurer, Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens). The 20th Bond movie is a 40th anniversary bash with plenty of memorabilia for the fans. But the film is overlong, Stephens’s baddy less than terrifying and some elements too silly, including a sloppily designed CGI scene and the invisible car (this isn’t Harry Potter, guys). On the other hand, Halle Berry is a gorgeous Bond girl and, interestingly enough, the title song sequence is an active part of the story.
