Heh it had good music, i dont know if sticks was the best way to go with this, seems more like a music video then anything else, good stick animation though, so notbad, keep it up...

Damn! That was really good!
It's unfortunate that this movie has such a low rating because I found this flash to be a good one.
The bit at the end where you can look at the out-takes and look at the interview with the James Bond actor is a really clever idea... it reminds me of a DVD with the extras.
And there's something about that Madonna song that really suits this flash and for some bizarre reason I always burst into laughter and that's what flash movies are all about... job well done although its not being appreciated.
weirdly ammusing
im not sure why but the cheap jokes got me laughing, and the music, aswell as being the soundtrack to die another day. fitted in perfectly. maybe some better timing for the music at the end might help.
Graphics..ick
Like Reshadow said it looked really choppy at the start however it looked better afterwards.
How teh Green stick dance does Concern me a lot though but that may or may not be intented.
Besides that try some other way of drawing and you've honestly got good flash film authour potential.
Maybe you could find an artist and form a partnership I know I wouldn't mind finding one as well actually.
Needs Improvement
I can see you put a lotta effort into that one, but the reasons its not getting rated high are as follows:
1) Framerate- Waayyyy too choppy. Keep it at least like 12, although 30 is optimal.
2) Sticks- Sticks are never welcomed unless they're animated very fluently (a la Xiao Xiao series).
3) Muzzle Flashes/Blood- Come on, lines? at least use some of Flash's built-in stuff. Even a gradient would have looked better than that.
4) Skeletal Structure- If you're gonna have someone breakdance, at least make sure it looks right. It seems like his legs were dislocated and were moving on their own independent axis, maybe some arm/head motion woulda improved it.
Just some suggestions.
