Holy shit, am I the only one that liked Die Another Day aswell? Eeek.

 

Haha well there ya go :heh:

 

It just plods along and is really inconsistent, their voices do not go well together at all. Would've been better to get rid of Jack White and have Alicia Keys sing over a more classical theme.

I hated Tomorrow Never Dies' song, and I don't mind Sheryl Crow.

 

Die Another Day is the only modern one I actually like. I like some of the old ones for pure entertainment value...they all have their place.

 

Maybe it's just me that thinks they should keep the name of the film in the song? Sure in this case, it'd be hard, but then, you can just interpret it's meaning I suppose.

It's not bad. Can definitely see it going with the typical bond graphic opening credits. I also imagine it'll be beefed up a bit for the actual movie.

 

Yea, I'm positive that the film version of You Know My Name had extra orchestra added.

It did, there were two different versions if I remember correctly. This will probably sound better with the opening credits (they might have sections running through the film's score as with You Know My Name, too) but I'm not impressed at all right now.

I think we'll have more actual Bond music this time round - Casino Royale was kind of "What made Bond the way he is", hence the proper theme only appearing at the very end.

It has grown on me. At first i was a bit iffy about it, i iked the intro but then lost interest half-way through. Its definitely a grower though and does actually become quite catchy after a few listens.

 

I've loved all the latest themes ever since Goldeneye, apart from Die Another Die. That song is awful. Tomorrow Never Dies is probably the best.

Oh thank God!

 

After LOTR studio's seem obsessed with pushing out the next epic. Good to see one exercising restraint and, whisper it, proper editing.

 

'Proper' editing is not about cutting the film down, its about choosing the best shots and pacing the story. Its in a studio's best interest to have a shorter film (more showings throughout the day), they're probably far from pleased at the prospect of less showings.

 

Lord of the Rings was edited wonderfully, as was The Dark Knight - another long film.
