Worst part of the movie bad CGI avalanche

Abishek Ravichandran - 6 years ago

I admit it. When I was a kid, I thought this was the coolest movie scene ever.

Kenneth McCrindle - 6 years ago

In the words of Comic Book Guy from the simpsons, Worst CGI Ever!!!!

Joseph - 6 years ago

The special effects are certainly outdated, but so are the special effects in "Moonraker."

Alexander Cooper - 6 years ago

This made a Bond enthusiast cringe

Rob/Ashli Carrafa - 6 years ago

I have seen very few cgi or digital special effects like this that seamlessly blend into a movie. Even three years after this in Revenge of the Sith, it had terrible cgi. The opening scene in Quantum of Solace when Bond and the bad guy fall through the glass ceiling of the building and land on scaffolding. It stuck right out and distracted me from what could have been a really cool stunt. I saw The Last Jedi a few weeks ago and it even had some ridiculously bad cgi. If you cannot create something that blends smoothly into the film then why do it? What ever happened to doing things the old fashioned way and not being lazy? People were less critical of the special effects in movies thirty years ago because they appreciated or recognized the ingenuity and creativity put into it. There is nothing creative about amatuerish computer generated crap. If movies that are routinely raking in over a billion dollars cannot develop software capable of producing quality cgi, then it's obviously never going to work. Figure something else out!

Also, Toby Stephens acting was just as bad as the cgi in Die Another Day. He's about the worst villian in the Bond series.

Master Exploder - 7 years ago

Tsunami mainly in 0:51 moment looks like a big blue jelly-like blob not water. Just like some other movies from that time (2002?), f.e Star Wars Attack of the Clones, CGI dated quite bad. Maybe it was great 15 years ago but now it just looks dated.

TheEgg185 - 7 years ago

This is one of the worst CGI I've ever seen.

Mambo91549 - 7 years ago

Just honestly, what in the name of God were the film makers thinking with having this appallingly laughable scene?! Now I'm no expert in the laws of physic's, but is it even possible to even windsurf down a giant water wave in that sort of fashion? Where you can jump around on different areas of the wave? It's just sounds and looks unbelievable. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have the right balance and speed to stay on top of the water, and just fall into the waters as this is a tsunami. So for the lack of intelligence in the laws of physics, I can't take this scene seriously. Also the CGI looks so bad.

Boulé-Racine Dominique - 7 years ago

With the help of a parachute, a piece of a plane, and video effects that would embarrass a high school A/V club, James Bond surfs on what appears to be a hundred foot wave of arctic water in Die Another Day. This single scene has been cited as the death knell for Pierce Brosnan's Bond. It also sent the entire franchise back to the drawing board to reimagine the character. It took four years and the casting of Daniel Craig for the series to redeem itself from that time a James Bond movie looked like it was ripped from a PlayStation 2 video game cutscene. But we'll never forget. Your Bond died that day, Pierce. Make no mistake.

IThinkAbout43 - 8 years ago

I wish they would make a "special edition" of Die another Day, with this scene getting the better CGI possible today. Because this scene just looks so unconvincing, while the rest of the movie is actually OK in my book. Over the top, sure, but a fine entry to the bond franchise.

Its really silly what they did with this scene. Compare this to the opening of the film, also a surfing scene, the opening is so much better!

I'd rather watch Quantum than The Man With the Golden Gun. But its way too close to be comfortable...

SicParvisMagna123 - 8 years ago

I think most people agree Quantum of Solace isn't that bad compared to the rest of Brosnan's Bond films (bar Goldeneye). One or two of the old Bond films could give them a run for their money too.

Jack Bauer - 8 years ago

Die Another Day is probably universally designated as the worst Bond movie ever made, and Quantum of Solace takes 2nd-place. Also, they made the North Koreans look like a formidable fighting force in spite of their nuclear arsenal. In reality, the entire army has 30 minutes of fuel.

I just watched this in Blu-ray, and it actually looks a lot better here in 360p... in 1080 p it looks ridiculous... not to mention the first surfing scene, which, if you know anything about big wave surfing, they would have had to have someone tow them in on jet skis on that big of a wave, especially with boards that small, and there is no motive why they would have had to do that other than it looking cool.

So at least Legolas has an excuse.

Computer-generated imagery is a cancer that eats the seriousness in a live-action movie.
A real action movie has to use practical effects, especially a true Bond-movie.
That's what intelligent people pay money for, they want to watch a analog live-action movie not a digital full-motion-video sequence of a video game.

ToughGuyver1 - 9 years ago

If movie companies can't or won't invest in believable special effects, they shouldn't do them.
And CGI belongs into video games not live-action movies, same goes for digital post production, it makes movies look cheesy and unnatural.

Andrew St. Clair - 10 years ago

+Aaron Benedetti Well, if we be entirely fair, Sean Connery didn't fit the part. There was a bit of a backlash when he was cast. That being said, he fits it more than Brosnan, Moore and Lazenby.

Aaron Benedetti - 10 years ago

+Andrew St. Clair True but you completely ignored the fact that Daniel Craig doesn't fit the character at all.

Andrew St. Clair - 10 years ago

+Aaron Benedetti Because, when I think of something realistic, I think of the opening chase scene in Casino Royale. Or water fight scene in Skyfall. Or how about the opening of Quantum of Solace? Those are the most realistic things I've ever seen in my life. It could all totally happen.

Aaron Benedetti - 10 years ago

Daniel Craig can't even play the character of bond properly you retards. Bond is suave, not some typical tough guy asshole. You people are stupid its just a regular boring action film now. If I wanted to watch something realistic I'd go and look out my window or something you cunts.

Joe Marranca - 10 years ago

Every Bond actor had a film that was inferior, Sean's was YOLT and DAF (even tho DAF is a guilty pleasure of mine) George's film was great but his Bond was a bit off the mark. Roger's films in the 80s were all cheesy and forgetable, Pierce's was obvisouly DAD, and even Craig's QOS was terrible, possibly the worst Bond outing of the whole series (just my opinion) because of the wasted opportunities with a vendetta for Vesper. The ending was done in a smart fashion in QOS where they could continue on this "Vesper Conquest" angle or act like it was over which they did. Anyways I like this film but Halle Berry and Terrible CGI just drag it down, along with the self indulgent referances for the franchises 40th anniversary. Pierce is my favorite Bond, and GoldenEye is my favorite Bond film aswell.

How can you not like any Moore films yet like Die Another Day? This movie almost killed the franchise. LTK being out of the ordinary is what makes it so good, I don't see how saying "it doesn't follow the same formula as the others" is a negative against it. Die Another Day is formulaic and it's garbage.

Joe Marranca - 10 years ago

+Joe Marranca By "him" I meant Leiter

Also Dalton's LTK was good but a bit out of the ordinary for a 007 venture, if only a KGB agent or a former Western Intellegence agent killed him, the vendetta angle wouldve been awesome. The whole drug ring plot to me was a bit like "Scarface meets James Bond"

33hegemon - 10 years ago

The stuntman was insane to actually do this!

Denis Virtualmix - 9 years ago

+33hegemon Do you see? That's only CGI, and is one of the worst CGI effects ever in a movie.

Roni Vornanen - 9 years ago

It's full gci no tsunami, no surfing and no stuntman...

When I was a lot younger the first experience I had with the Bond series was when I first played GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough on the Nintendo 64. Both of those games are fantastic. Then I watched the actual movies (Pierce Brosnan series) and all of them were outstanding, except Die Another Day was just "ok". Then I saw all of the bond movies and I must say Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig are my favorite Bond actors. Casino Royale and Skyfall are 2 of my all time favorites.

THOMAS SODOMIZER - 10 years ago

God this looks like complete shit. Looks like some cut scene from some 90s command and conquer game. Horrible!

ABE SuperKiteDay - 10 years ago

omg I forgot this!

Lee Jones - 10 years ago

This is not jumping the shark this is jumping the waves or jumping the icebergs it's that bad the low point of the whole James Bond series

Glory - 10 years ago

I wasn't even involved in the making of the movie yet I still feel ashamed.

tg72211 - 10 years ago

The low point of the entire Bond series right here.

Nicholas Gagnon - 10 years ago

Still this one scene is better than anything Quantum of Solace.

Alex Sutherland - 9 years ago

And a better romance than Twilight.

Andrew St. Clair - 10 years ago

Nope. Quantum of Solace was easily better than anything in this movie, or any of Brosnan's movies after Goldeneye.

James P Schuetze - 10 years ago

LOL

PierceBrosnanXXX - 10 years ago

mmm the first 30 minutes of the film are a masterpiece, specially the TORTURE SCENE , that was awesome, but this cgi was a total piece of shit, still this film got alot of rave reviews so is a middle of the way film not as bad but also not as good as many people say.. but at least is not "Quantum of Shit" even Craig say "he was fucked" in that film...

Andrew St. Clair - 10 years ago

Ummm.... this film got mixed reviews. Quantum of Solace actually got better reviews than this one did.

Racin' Mason - 10 years ago

It's not Brosnan's fault if he's handed a bad script, has an idiot director and shitty CGI specialists. Look at Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies, both are his two best films and in my top ten all time Bond films

WonPorky - 7 years ago

Tomorrow Never Dies is a terrible film.

Essess Nine - 10 years ago

+Jules Christopher The movies are okay (flawed though fairly entertaining), but the theme songs to Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough are top notch.

Jacob Maguire - 10 years ago

@kobebeef415 well besides his blonde hair I think he nailed it.

kobebeef415 - 10 years ago

+tehsnipatres208 i think craig sucks need a black haired guy

Jacob Maguire - 10 years ago

It's funny because people were hating on Tomorrow Never Dies and I don't really see why I thought it was really good. Same thing with The World Is Not Enough I thought that was great as well. But then again I grew up playing the Nintendo 64 game. In general though I think Brosnan was one of the best bond actors next to Craig.

Jack Reilly - 11 years ago

nearly killed the franchise luckily casino royale rescued it

lbonini1gaming - 11 years ago

Is it bad I'm excited to watch this film on Syfy over Thanksgiving?

ButtSolution - 11 years ago

I love how this scene accentuates his multiple chins.

wpm - 11 years ago

God damn as cheesy as it is, I'll be damned if I didn't smile when he crests the wave and comes into shot, right as the music climaxes. James Bond is supposed to be ridiculous and cheesy.

Daz 88 - 11 years ago

That is so cringeworthy at 1:11. They shoulda cut that out but it was a shit bond movie anyway so meh wouldn't make much difference.

YippieKiYay101 - 11 years ago

That soundtrack though......

SweetDick Willie - 11 years ago

I think the invisible car was just as questionable, also Jinx, and that damn invisible car! Also John Cleese turned Bond into Manuel from Fawlty Towers!

MyJoJob - 11 years ago

this looks like fucking spy kids.

Mike J - 11 years ago

I still can't believe that people criticise this film purely because of this scene. I mean really, can't anybody just see past the special effects and actually enjoy the decent movie it really is?

MrEriklenn - 11 years ago

....it's like they looked at all the goofiness of the Roger Moore movies and said "Challenge Accepted"

onerustybucket - 11 years ago

"Global warming is a terrible thing." Yeah, because it causes terrible CGI and domestic abuse of the suspension of disbelief.

CGI doesn't age, if it looks bad now it was bad from the start. chances are we just didn't know any better.

Ottofuse88 - 11 years ago

The man with the golden gun is 1 of the best... along with octopussy, although ur others r true, but dnt 4get quantum of solace lol

No. That award goes to Octopussy, A view to a kill, Man with the golden gun, and the world is not enough.

grkpektis - 11 years ago

This didn't jump the shark, it raped the shark and it's children burned it alive then ate it

DANATANLOVER - 11 years ago

Worst...Bond...EVER.

Ashley Pomeroy - 11 years ago

My word, it's as bad as I remember. Not just the quality of the CGI - the direction, too, just a mixture of CGI shots of a little puppet man interspersed with close-ups of Pierce Brosnan's puffy face and dyed hair as he obviously stands on a wooden platform in a studio.

MrThestig8 - 11 years ago

First time I saw this scene, I thought it was badass. That music. Now...ugh.

WonPorky - 11 years ago

Batman and Robin with Bond.

My god, Craig is wonderful as Bond. Hes just making him look moore realistic!

Rene Valdez - 11 years ago

Funny. Craig plays Bond almost exactly the way Ian Fleming wrote him.

joshw0071 - 11 years ago

its werid Die Another Day was my frist bond film that i ever saw and got me into the Franchise. and a lot of people hate on this film.

Sharpedo43 - 11 years ago

I don't see what's wrong with this scene. Is it the altered quality?

MrKajithecat - 11 years ago

This is like a Saturday morning cartoon physics

Worst Gen - 11 years ago

Die Another Day doesn't exist, ok people? No one saw anything.

abingleyboy - 11 years ago

Cgi can ruin a film & this is really bad cgi, but all cgi in a lee tamahori movie is awful, the car crash in along came a spider is cartoonish, then Next with nick cage had rotten cgi, when i see lee tamahori's name on a film i always expect that unrealistic cgi to pop up mind you m:i 4 had some ropey cgi where a building in russia explodes, & its cartoon ahoy!! In the future it will look worse than hokey special effects of the 70s & 80s.

Andrew Amundrud - 11 years ago

My cat did the cgi for this movie - true story.

A Sneakerhead In Belgium - 11 years ago

Man this cgi bullcrap is terrible at best but that background music was the best of brosnan's films imo :o XD

baddaboomb - 11 years ago

I can almost hear pierce brosnan saying 'think of the paycheque, think of the paycheque' over and over as he filmed this scene. You can see it in his eyes.

GreyCat - 11 years ago

Still a fantastic movie though

James Bond - 11 years ago

I think Die Another Day ment well. Its like the Diamonds Are Forever of Sean Connery's era for Pierce Brosnan. Its my favorite Brosnan film. CGI was becoming more prevalent in film at the time and they really wanted to make use of it in this Bond film. Die Another Day is very entertaining. Whether the CGI has aged well or not its still one of the funnest Bond films. At least its not boring. It could of been worse. I don't think it deserves the crap it gets. It makes a statement the early 2000's.

TheDonutdragon - 11 years ago

Worst CGI ever in a bond movie.

hombrear - 12 years ago

I'm ashamed of myself for actually enjoying this movie... but i can't help it :(

Rafael Silva - 12 years ago

You can say whatever you want to, but at least Die Another Day had one of the hottest Bond girls.

Fernando Yanmar - 12 years ago

lone wolf mcquaid couldnt have done better...

gordongecko1975 - 12 years ago

I don't think that both movies are bad. But they crossed a line in terms of believable action.

GameStation3 - 12 years ago

If that was true then why did that movie get positive reviews from critics?

jack - 12 years ago

Let's just forget this ever happened.

Dan Hassan - 12 years ago

"Global warming is a terrible thing" - I guess my first instinct would be to bow sheepishly as well.

tvmattkc - 12 years ago

It makes Quantum of Solace look like Dr. No. It makes Diamonds Are Forever look like Casino Royale.

DrinkWater22 - 12 years ago

Die Another Day makes Moonraker look like Goldfinger. It makes A View to a Kill look like Thunderball. It makes The Man with the Golden Gun look like From Russia With Love. I think you get the point.

Steve B - 12 years ago

At least Pierce Brosnan pretty much admits this scene is stupid now lol

Eric Ferrier - 12 years ago

The Harrier scene from True Lies looks more realistic than this! (And True Lies is the best Bond film ever)

SuperKing604 - 12 years ago

Worlds not enough was worse, some of the older ones are very cringe worthy

Oh God I didn't remember how dumb this movie was! This scene looked so fake, the actual tsunami didn't look that bad, but Bond just didn't did not blend in well at all!

SlothMachines - 12 years ago

@Libraloco73 Also, Brosnan had nothing to do with how bad this film was. Excluding Goldeneye (same director as Casino Royale), he's a good actor who was given bad Bond films.

SlothMachines - 12 years ago

@Libraloco73 Don't forget that just 6 years ago there was a massive backlash against Craig from taking over the part. Online petitions and tons of slander against Casino Royale. I bet everyone felt silly once they actually saw it.

fg - 12 years ago

That looked fake as shit.

Spaceman2921 - 12 years ago

Say what you want about this scene, that music is FUCKING AMAZING.

AliveSigns - 12 years ago

This truly was the Batman & Robin of Bond films.

I don't know maybe if it was in higher quality and better directed it could've been a little exciting in a campy way

Good riddance to the Brosnan era...overblown, overstuffed, underwritten and underwhelming. Thank goodness for Daniel Craig.

Stenbrotsgatan - 12 years ago

Totally agree. I've seen all Bond films in the cinema from Goldeneye (although I was a Bond fan from around 1989) and when I first saw this I felt ashamed and wanted to crawl under my seat. They just killed 40 years of Bond stunt history with this! It was so BAD and unbelievably cheesy...it was the first time I wanted to leave the cinema!

Stenbrotsgatan - 12 years ago

This movie did not bomb at all. It made 432 million World Wide.

@nmarchan I want to play that game! :D

jdogsguitar - 12 years ago

@tikkj James Bond wasn't supposed to be cheesy. Read the books and he was a ruthless killer with class. Sean Connery started out with a couple jokes just because he is Sean Connery being suave & that's what he did. But then it just got ridiculous, even though I enjoyed the movies nonetheless. When it comes to what James Bond is supposed to be like, I think Casino Royale. A new agent Bond who can make mistakes but makes up for them with results. Quantum was just a poor movie as a whole.

tikkj - 12 years ago

@jdogsguitar Which makes it a Jason Bourne movie rather than James Bond. James Bond is *supposed* to be cheesy. The old bad guys had lazers on the moon and piranha tanks. In Quantum of Solace the bad guy threatens to cut off a third of Bolivias water supply. Realistic sure, but not James Bond.

@stbays Idk I think it's arguable that Casino Royale is the most realistic and cunning Bond movie (if not a possible best.) There's not really any gadgets and he is played quiet and lethal.

Brilliant james bond movie? You guys are kidding right?

When you deviate that far from the original literary concept, you might as well just say fuck it and go all the way—throw a pirate ship and a giant ice squid in there and make that tsunami really dangerous.

YippieKiYay101 - 13 years ago

the cgi aint even that bad bit over the top but i like it especially the music!

yankeescf04 - 13 years ago

@KiggeSand Probably because the CGI is so unbelievably atrocious.

KiggeSand - 13 years ago

I really can't see why this scene is so hated, the bond-films was allways meant to be unrealistic and over the top, Pierce Brosnas fleeing from a madman with space weapons while sufing on a tsunami wave with all that ice, that is just brilliant :D

Foale - 13 years ago

Like this comment if you watched this video after reading Vic Armstrong's book.

Joseph Grutt - 13 years ago

@iknownothing34 I think it really depends on the perspective you enter these films with. I've really come to believe, minus Goldeneye, that the Bond films had become parodies of itself a long time ago. So, if you go into these movies taking them seriously, of course you're gonna hate this one and many others. On the other hand, if you accept their quasi parody nature, you laugh and you have a good time.

Jarrah White - 13 years ago

I honestly thought I was watching in game footage from Nightfire when I first saw this in the cinema.

Worst Bond Movie ever, besides this one have any of the other films actually used greenscreen? I don't get why they did it, especially when the surfing bit at the beginning looked amazing (best bits of the film all before the opening credits, ouch).
