Bond on Set - Filming Die Another Day,
By
This review is from: BOND ON SET: 007 Filming Die Another Day (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed in this book. When you get a book that involves the making of a movie, you look for details in set location, make-up, special effects, etc. This book is 95% pictures. I wanted information not pictures. Therefore, this book was a waste of time and money for me. There was a similar book for "Tomorrow Never Dies", but that book described the movie making procewss in detail. That was the way that this one should hav ebnn written.

Rather Disappointing!,

This review is from: BOND ON SET: 007 Filming Die Another Day (Paperback)
Some great pictures, I won't deny, but particularly, my expectations were way beyond that what I could get from this book. Most of the pictures are in plain old B&W, instead of being in living colors. The great majority don't even have a subtitle, therefore, we get a little lost sometimes. Besides, as this book was supposed to be something like a filming diary, it could depict much more behind-the-scenes stills, making of candids and so on, and even could show some text in it. I think if you only like to see pictures then the book will be ok, but if you're a die hard fan, searching for news about the filming of the picture, then this book will be the wrong choice. I think maybe to those photo admirers the book will be a disappointing, so, I wouldn't recommed it at all. I am quite disappointed myself!

Better than the Movie but Pure Bond,
By
This review is from: BOND ON SET: 007 Filming Die Another Day (Paperback)
Whether you like DIE ANOTHER DAY or not this is a must have book for James Bond fans. The book is vividly and profusely crammed with black & white and color photographs. There are many production shots that you can leisurely take your time viewing in complete contrast to watching the film with its frantic and fast paced editing. You can now savor the moment. This is a high quality publication and I must say that the black & white photographs are the best thing about this book. It's a bit odd but they really give you a sense somehow of the glory days of the Bond films coming full circle.
