SPECTRE: Bond 24

Re: SPECTRE: Bond 24

Some of the song placement in the Connery Bond films was really strange. I think it's in Goldfinger where he first goes into his hotel room and he's sort of casually looking around while the intense "durnd durnd durnd durnd durnd..." music is playing (as if it was a chase or something).

Yeah, it seemed like they didn't have much of a score at all. They just kept hammering us with the Bond theme.

I think you're referring to Dr. No. The use of the "Bond song" was way overused in subtle scenes.

But that opening title sequence in Dr. No compared to Goldfinger or Thunderball, yikes.

Re: SPECTRE: Bond 24

My favorites (in chronological order): Thunderball, OHMSS, License to Kill, Goldeneye, Skyfall.

I really like Dr. No, The World is not Enough (minus Denise Richards), Goldfinger, The Living Daylights and Casino Royale.

Funny for me that no Moore movies are on my list. If I had to pick one Moore movie, it would probably be A View to a Kill.

Even Thunderball?

I tend to fall asleep in the middle of that one.

Re: SPECTRE: Bond 24

The theme song for Spectre released today and IMO it's not very good. Maybe it'll grow on me or it will truly shine once we see the intro scene with the song playing in the background.

Re: SPECTRE: Bond 24

Hm...uh yeah i'm not feeling it either. I think it will come across better with the intro. I do like the arrangement though especially the beginning which harkens back to an earlier era of Bond.

For me it's the lyrics and Sam Smith's voice. It just doesn't sound all that great.

Agreed. I like the background track, his voice just doesn't fit.

I figured as much. Skyfall was a great movie, but I think the actor himself was running his own course too much. Or maybe it's just the eight month shoot and he wants to separate from the workload at the moment.

Actors never want to associate themselves with one character in their entire resume. He's already done that now as Bond. I'm certain he's just sick of it for the time being.

Regarding his statements? Pretty candid it seems, yet very honest. I don't blame him for what he says, but I'm surprised he's saying it before Spectre comes out.

I think most guys that play Bond, you pretty much associate them with that character and that is it. I will use Connery as an example, I (granted I am young) can't think of many other characters he has played. Maybe a couple of movies tops. I know him as James Bond, nothing else. Same goes with Roger Moore.

That's true, and that's partly unfortunate.

I had to retract some of my statements I made (see edit), because I thought more about the fact that he's just coming off the shoot. Eight months in a shoot? That's a school year! And those days don't always have weekends and they don't always last only six hours, though you literally do have to be on your "A game." I just don't think that Craig's persona is the same as Bond's', and that's a grueling shoot for him.

Either way, he's contracted for at least one more I think, so let's let this one play out and have him go out on a bang or whimper when he turns 50 and possibly does one more. He's right, though... movies like this aren't made very often anymore, and his successor better be better than Craig to be accepted.
