Die Another Day is one of the few films that gets more or less simultaneous global release. We went to see it last night, in English, and all I can say is GO. This is not a classic Bond, he gets tangled up when trying to calmly walk away from a parachute, he bleeds, he gets out of breath, he's bailed out of a jam by a girl, all very un-Bond things, but the film is only better for it.
The sharp dialog is back, as are the totally over the top villans. I had heard that the product placement was so intense people were calling it Buy Another Day, but really, I don't think Bollinger is planning on selling too many bottles of 61 just because James Bond likes it. And the people who buy Aston Martins and Jaguars have done so for reasons illustrated, not perpetuated by Bond, for ages. The bigger the screen the better.
