Why is there no love for Die Another Day?

Probably because it's the worst Bond* film ever.

*Eon canon

Had my own 'Bondathon' about a year ago. I always liked the the series a lot. Anyway here is my ranking (tiers included)

Great:
1. Casino Royale
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. Skyfall
4. GoldenEye
5. Goldfinger
6. From Russia with Love
7. The Spy who Loved me

Good:
8. Licence to Kill
9. Dr. No
10. The World is not Enough
11. The Living Daylights
12. Quantum of Solace
13. Thunderball
14. For Your Eyes Only

Bad (but somewhat guilty pleasures)
15. Tomorrow Never Dies
16. You Only Live Twice
17. Moonraker
(Never Say Never Again)

Pathetic (doubt I will ever watch these again, but who knows):
18. A View to a Kill
19. The Man with the Golden Gun
20. Diamonds are Forever
21. Octopussy
22. Live and let Die
23. Spectre
24. Die Another Day

This is SO cool. I'm tempted to watch GoldenEye again and listen to Brosnan at the same time.

I would love to hear his commentary about Die Another Day.

Nice! It's like going to the movies with Pierce Brosnan. Might give it a listen sometime.

I watched it over the weekend. I definitely recommend it. Brosnan flags toward the end--I think he just runs out of stories to tell--but there's a lot of good behind-the-scenes stuff. And Brosnan is a class act all the way.

It just made me happy :)

I watched Skyfall after a lengthy break from our rewatch. This'll get an 8 from me.

I loved this initially, then was a little less impressed on second viewing. It's gone back up in my estimations this time though. It's gripping for the duration, and doesn't feel too long despite running over two hours. There's some wonderful scenery and shots (particularly the fight in Shanghai). Bardem makes for a great villain and his interactions with both Bond and M are interesting and involving. There's great chemistry between Bond and Moneypenny too. I do think Craig sounds a bit stilted and awkward with one or two of his lines, but is good overall. Theme song is decent. Like Quantum before, Bond somehow defies death with that plunge from the train at the start. Not sure why this bothers me in the Craig era, as there's always been ridiculous escapes and such in Bond movies, but it breaks the immersion a touch.

So work has been fucked ever since quarantine started but I was able to watch Skyfall and Spectre with my brother. I would do a more in-depth review but I've been so exhausted that I'll just rate 'em since other users have already stated what I would say about them.

Skyfall 9/10
Spectre is a 10
