movie review - Die Another Day

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2002.11.23

This is actually pretty good. Certainly good for a Bond flick, which tend to be rather dismal. While there were some of the usual plot oddities and some rather stilted dialogue (notably anything between Brosnan and Berry, who seemed to share no chemistry, not that two people with fifteen years age difference between them might be expected to have all that much, I suppose), but in all it was entertaining and actually fairly involving. They even managed to mildly surprise me at one point.

Recommended.
