^^^This exactly! I've always felt DAD was like the Joel Schumacher Batman movies, which were deliberately dumbed down by the studio to appeal to kids. For Die Another Day they delibrely tried to go away from being a sophisticated British secret agent to plays baccarat in Monte Carlo casinos, seducs European women and instead tried to turn it into an America Action Hero. G.I. James.

Actually, it's the most Bondiest of Bond films. It has cars, gadgets, set pieces and special effects. Just cranked up to such a high volume that it's too cloying for most.
I mean it even has the standard Bond plot. Action. Meet some people. Have some sex. More action. Meet more people. Evil villain reveals his plan. Girl gets kidnapped. More action. Bond saves the day. Bond gets laid. -

If you are familiar with the action genre in general and you saw what the competition was pumping out in the early 00's, you can easily see what they were going for and those extremes like the invisible car and CGI were all products of that era. Die Another Day took some BOLD moves to "shake up the system" and it was a huge success. While it may not be universally praised as other adventures in the series, it does have it's following and is still IMO one of the best action movies ever made.
The story is also very gritty and it gave us a lot of first's for the series, so to me, it's easily one of the best in the series and Brosnan does deliver a fantastic performance!

Not really. If you go back to adventures such as The Spy Who Loved Me, you might see that this is very similar, and what can be best describe as "comic book" Bond at it's best!!
So what are you favorite bond films??
