I need to rewatch Die Another Day at some point I guess. I remember some high peaks and some low lows, but I think I like it better than Tomorrow Never Dies at least. That one I just found dull. With these movies, I will take dumb fun over boring.

To me the low lows are consistently the bad CGI and Jinx. I even enjoy the ridiculous refurbished Moonraker plot.

Halle may be hot, but her bad acting with terrible one liner delivery brings down that Bond Girl grade hard.

As unthrilling/dull as this one is, that opera scene is pretty awesome.

The way Daniel Craig hesitates from the fight when he spots the komodo dragon will never not be funny, lol. I love the sudden look on his face.

Also, when I saw Black Panther in the theatre, their "espionage" scene was so remarkably close to this one, I actually expected a komodo dragon pit.

Don't care if that train fight was basically a remake of From Russia With Love's fight, it was a damn good one.

Interesting to see that other people list Red Grant as a henchman, when I thought he was too prominent and dominant in From Russia With Love to count as a henchman.

Close, but I tend to be fond of the Bassey voice.
