Die another day was pretty much bashed by most critics, and several movie goers claimed it to be one of the worst bonds, but thats because since the series took its 6 year break after licence to kill it has become cool to hate the new Bond films (don't ask me why?), for example look at how Goldenye was received when it first came out, people hated it, but 8 years after its release, it is considered by many fans as one of the top 5 Bonds
Die another day is the same way, in 8-10 years it will be looked back upon as one great Bond film. Yes its a little over the top, but not more then Moonraker or You Only Live Twice was, and what really makes this a good film is Pierce Brosnan, he seems tailor made for Bond, and as with the previous actors he is finding his Groove near the end of his 007 career (this is his fourth film, and probably second last outing). As I said, Brosnan, makes this movie for me, his performance makes you overlook the sub par performance of Halle Berry (the films only real weakness)
So if your looking for a real good action adventure film then buy or rent Die Another Day, its not the best Bond film ever, but on an enjoyment level it ranks only behind Goldeneye, as Brosnan's Best.
