The best and worst Bonds die another day

After watching the whole film, my personal feelings about the whole film are as follows:

1. First sigh: Pierce Brosnan is also old.

2. The budget of this part is the highest among the first 20 parts, but it is also difficult to conceal the mediocrity on the whole. There is a sense of suspense in the first half of the plot, and the characters on the scene are quite indistinguishable from each other. Bond was also exiled by MI6, and was even arrested by the enemy for the only time in the whole series (being detained for a year) Many), suffered all kinds of torture, this is the only time in the whole series. (The rest of the life is either a smooth escape or a life from imprisonment is staying in a hotel) But in the middle of the plot, the plot collapses severely, and all the suspense, interesting settings and reversal of the brain are all poured out. So we immediately learned that Hailee Berry is an American intelligence agent, the ultimate boss has changed his face, and Pei Chunhua is a double agent Play it again immediately, is it interesting?), so the real story is basically over. The remaining half is the cascade of various fighting scenes and Bond once again to save the world. In addition, as the first 007 movie in the 21st century, it actually copied the stalk of "Diamond", bad review!

3. The performance of the Bond girls is quite satisfactory. Although the two Bond girls are both Oscar-level (one film queen, one nominated), the plot's role setting is too rigid and the two perform poorly in the film. It’s too easy for the Bond girl to be coaxed into bed by Bond this time. The screenwriters have given up flirting. Minutes immediately took the initiative to throw in his arms, of course, by the way, continue to give the BOSS a green hat as usual.

4. Bond movies have always been known for their magnificent real shots and special effects, even if they use CG, they are also auxiliary. But this time CG special effects have completely become the protagonist of the action scene, and there is a lot of realism in the action scene. Especially in the last part of the helicopter escape, this is already a magical level. . . . . . Of course, the opening hovercraft chase and drag racing on ice are still very cool.

5. In my personal mind, the performance of this film is really unsatisfactory. Like "Diamond", it can only be described as "banal". However, this film follows the conspiracy setting of "Diamond". Such unthinking behavior makes it rank after "Diamond", but the action scenes are quite visible, and the lack of plot is largely covered by continuous action scenes. The scene setting of the ice and snow world is also very impactful and imaginative, so it ranks 17th in the 24 series before the dull performance of "License to Kill" for a long time.
