It's like FYEO. Trying to keep the Bond fans happy while trying to attempt a new direction for 007...
Down a Corsican bobsleigh run, perhaps?.

Die Another Day for was like Moonraker for me - it was perfectly enjoyable, but it didn't feel like James Bond.
James Bond is supposed to be in the modern age with concievable gadgets that COULD work. The remote control car in TND would work, the Tazer phone too. The exploding pen and even the belt grappling hook from Goldeneye all were very James Bond.
Die Another Day was bordering on the rediculous and there was too much CGI. For a film series that prided itself on superb LIVE stunt work, Die Another Day was a backwards step. Everything from the stupid, stupid invisible car, to the diamonds in the face, to the shape shifting people, to the freakin surfing agents made it stupid and more like a Charlies Angels flick.
Halle Berry was eye candy sure, but she was INCREDIBLY ANNOYING eye candy - with an awful name.
I personalliy think Goldeneye is one of the best Bonds period. It reminds me of the traditional Connery flicks while at the same time being completely convincing (as far as Bond goes). The story was much more personal this time for Bond with villain Sean Bean doing a great job. Everybody remembers the TANK! That was some great sickness. Nightcrawler....er sorry Boris (Grishenko?) topped it off nicely with "I am invincible!".
I hate uneccessary CGI, hate it with a passion, because I can see it a mile away, in films like Spiderman and The Hulk, you NEED it, but i think films like DAD come up with ideas to use especilally with CGI just to show off, not the other way around. Live action scenes are far more impressive. Compare the smaller scale stunt of the car park scene or the bike and chopper scene in TND, to the fake looking climax to DAD. No contest.
And the game on the N64 ROCKED! EA are even remaking it (gonna screw it up I just know it!) for the modern consoles.
Tomorrow Never Dies was superb also, but ever since the height of Goldeneye, the Brosnan flicks has declined in quality with each new release.

I actually liked the diamonds in the face of Zao, the shape shifting ... real gene therapy... I think that's too advanced to get in a bond movie already
and finally, someone who agrees that Halle was incredibly wrong casted as jinx! but to say a stupid name... Plenty O'Tool, Octopussy, ... there are a lot of incredibly stupid female names, it's something JB like.
and btw, there will be NO remake of Goldeneye! it will continue the story; but by no means is it a remake
generaly, I think Goldeneye was the best too, but it's not that the others are that bad, just not so good

Computer Generated Imagery - the bane of modern film-makin. It's always used when it's not needed *points to the new Star Wars movies*
I meant "COULD work" as in the fact that an exploding pen, a remote control car and hidden missile launchers could work. An invisible car is plain wrong. Invisible to radar? Sure! Invisible to infra-red or thermal vision? Why not? Invisible to the NAKED FREAKIN EYE? Come on.

Ahh, I get what you mean... Yeah, the invisible car idea was very silly indeed.

if they want to make it invisible to infrared than they should find a way to get the motor not to heat up at all

It would be easy to make it invisible to infra-red, for Q-lab (R-lab?)anyway. You don't make the motor any different, you just make the shell out of an anti-heat material, like a variant of the stuff Navy SEALS and that use when they go on missions.
The thing that bugged me about it was, that if British Secret Services could make an invisible car, they could make invisible helicopters, invisible jet fighters. It's too "powerful" technology for a Bond movie.
Like, nobody would be able to have a war. Why would Bond even have a job, they'd be like:
Defense Minister: "M we need Bond to go on a mission stop a war breaking out"
M: "Don't you have that invisible army, with the invisible missiles and invisible jets?"
Defense Minister: "Oh yeah, ha. Forget Bond, we'll just wipe the floor with them in the first few minutes when the war breaks out. I love that cake you made M, delicious!"
See what I mean?

well, the point is that during the movie it shows on the infrared and such, so it didn't use the anti-heat thing

I just can't believe some people in here think Die Another Day was his best, you got to be kidding me. It was terrible.
As for his best film, for me it's Tomorrow Never Dies. Even then, I'm not fussed about the Brosnan era.
The World is Not Enough had the sexiest Bond woman out of all the Brosnan film girls though, played by Sophie Marceau.
