What would you change about Die Another Day?

~~Jarrah White~~ · 11-16-2003, 03:41 AM

It's a pointless exersise going through the countless things that need to be changed for better still removed from this film, but...

1) Have Pierce Brosnan voice record "R" over "Q"

2) Go back to Iceland/Pinewood, and this time shoot some real car footage of the 12 Vanquish in Jaguar. This is Iceland! Jaggared cliffs, unstable ice surfaces, adding to that, these cars are basically missile platforms on wheels, so where's the carnage? All they do is roll around on the ice and shoot out each others incoming ammo, it's cool at first but it gets boring after a while. It's like watching a clown get continuously hit in the face with pies, it loses it impact. I personally was expecting the ice to split, vehicles to blow up, copters to go spinning into the ice, missiles to drop cliffs on the fozen surface, maybe even the cars to jump from one moving ice berg to the other, the only cool part of the chase is when the Vanquish gets flipped onto it's roof and flipped back onto it's wheels using the ejector seat.

3) Get rid of Jinx and Gustav Graves.

4) Get rid of that CGI, man just because this stuff is real hi-tect and all doesn't mean it looks good. The CGI in this film looks like it was done by an amature working for Electronic Arts!

5) Make the movie flow better.

6) Get rid of Maddona's song, it's torture.

7) Invisibility is something the Bond films can do without.

Change the name of the satellite, Ircurus is already taken (See Deus Ex).

9) Get rid of the CGI bullet in the gun barrel.

10) Either before the gun barrel scene or after the credits, write IN LOVING MEMORY OF DESLOND LLEWELYN.

I like pretty much everything about it. Even theme song. And notice that the code names are not person specific, M is another example.

*That Matt Guy* · 11-16-2003, 06:11 AM

Most reviewers think it's the best Brosnan Bond. I like Golden Eye a little more though.

**GK Punk** · 11-16-2003, 07:07 AM

I loved Golden eye.. unfortnetly(Forgive spelling) I haven't seen anything past it. What order do they go in? I'll have to go rent them and catch up.

**Karpo_007** · 11-16-2003, 07:09 AM

Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day.

**GK Punk** · 11-16-2003, 07:10 AM

Thanks Karpo!

**Karpo_007** · 11-16-2003, 07:16 AM

No problem.

*Taloniss* · 11-16-2003, 08:15 AM

Wouldn't change a thing. It was one of the better Bond movies, and close to Goldeneye for best Bronson Bond.

*Anarky* · 11-16-2003, 10:53 AM

wasn't there the roumor that DAD would be the first bond movie where you could see bare breasts? what happened to those? i'm gonna sue whoever made that film.

1. i'd have Jinx killed (she's useless)
2. I'd get rid of that idea that James Bond is being recognised at arrival by some computer device (this has happened way too often during the brosnan bonds)
3. Genetic Therapy? Come off it! How stupid do they think we are?
4. Less Product placement
5. Less Spies in the Mi6 (if they really are the best secret service in the world they should have known that Miranda Frost (was that her name?) was in school with the genetic therapy-taker)

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-16-2003, 02:03 PM

One thing I'd change about it: change it to an "R" rating and insert some more female nudity in it

Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, I think there was a dedication to Desmond Llewelyn on the video releases to The World is Not Enough

~~Jarrah White~~ · 11-16-2003, 02:32 PM

That's not enough, suppose someone doesn't buy or rent that video, what if they just tape it off the telly? Seeing no tribute to Desmond in DAD makes me feel like those at EON used him for almost forty years than threw him out like yesterdays trash.

And John Cleese with the Q title, shameful.
