Die Another Day (2002)
Cast: Pierce Brosnan (James Bond), Halle Berry (Jinx), Judi Dench (M), John Cleese (Q)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Die Another Day page.
I only started watching the 007 movies when Pierce Brosnan started doing them, so I haven't been a Bond fan for long. In my limited experience, this was my least favorite. Although I don't agree with those who say that Die Another Day has the worst Bond film song ever (by Madonna - I'm a big fan), this is definitely not one of Madonna's best songs or the best Bond songs.
I'm not sure what bothered me most about this 007 movie, but I just didn't get grabbed by it as I have the other Bond movies. I guess it's as simple as that, though it's hard to describe perfectly. I'm also not a Halle Berry fan, which couldn't have helped my feelings for the movie. I'd say that in spite of the special effects this is best seen at home where you can do other things if you want to...
