 Posted: 12/20/02 - 12:13 Post subject: I guess I'll die another day...
We saw that last night because we missed the showings of "Analyze That" Third time to miss it  I think there is a greater power keeping us from seeing that movie...
Anyway, I thought it was enjoyable for leave your brain at the door, high tech gadgets and some good explosions. But I don't know, after Goldfinger (the 007 movie set in Kentucky) I just haven't gotten into too many Bond movies. Any fans? Was this a good one and I just don't have a proper appreciation?

Cheryl, I read a review about it and this critic was actually saying that XXX was a better movie. It sounded incredibly foolish at the time but from all the feedback I've rec'd about 'Die Another...', he may be right, yes?

See, thats what I don't know. I don't know if this was just a so-so Bond film or if we are just sticks in the mud?
I didn't see XXX but kind of wanted to...was it good?

I actually neva saw it either but everyone that did see it said it was great. I try to stay away from potential 'cheese-flicks' (hope no one read my maid in manhatten post  )

I have the same policy. And while Bond falls into that category, our options were either "Maid in Manhattan" or "Die another Day" or wait an hour an a half for something good....
After reading your Maid in Manhattan post, I believe we made the right choice....

Listen to the universe, Cheryl.
And then wait and rent it. It isn't nearly as good as the first one.

I am a big bond fan (mostly the connery movies, all are still pretty good). I haven't seen this one yet and will probably wait to see it at the inlaws on their private theater (ok not really but they do have a 64" TV with great surround sound). All I can say is don't read the books because the movies don't do them justice. I read Goldfinger and it was outstanding but then the movie was terrible. Now, I can't read anymore bond books for fear of ruining more movies.  (Again, a sad statement about America, I should be saying that I will not see anymore bond movies and just read the book.  )
