Same. I can see people disliking the lyrics for being too sappy or Smith's falsetto, but the instrumental is beautiful and very Bondian.
Wouldn't be the first time that they have forced in an already planned element into a plot.
Maybe they've gone back to Wade and Purvis' original draft before Boyle's involvement? That would also explain Seydoux's almost immediate hiring :)
"Imagine a car chase down Trollstigen and base jumping, in typical Bond style", says Borch.
And yet, he has probably given them a few tips.
Yeah, no doubt!
But if you don’t enjoy Smith’s performance it’s hard to enjoy the instrumentation.
The instrumentation sounds like a pastiche, it's like a blatant Bond like sound with none of the class. The vocal performance is totally inappropriate for Bond.
Also, the subject is not very strong in the film, it certainly isn't We Have All The Time In The World for feck’s sake!
Maybe if the love story element didn't feel so false it might have worked.
I do hope Bond 25 has a balls out theme with some grit, Arctic Monkeys please.
I actually think it's a decent song but it definitely doesn't resonate with whats on the screen.
Much better than Garbage, Madge and Sheryl IMO.
I am so thrilled about Norway. :)
Anyways, what are the chances that the drone footage made by Fukunaga was training of some sort?
Totally agree with this sentiment, but not sure Arctic Monkeys are really ‘balls out’ or have a powerful vocal for a Bond Theme. Bruce Dickinson would be great and he makes two Bond references within the first 100 pages of his book, likely a fan. Otherwise I’d love Muse or as an (maybe) out there suggestion Inglorious...

Maybe the Castle of Death will be located in Norway instead of Japan? (Yes I’m fairly convinced the unused YOLT literary plot will be utilised!)
Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden have about as much chance as I have of doing the next Bond theme and you know it.
The Arctic's are far more likely than that although it's likely to be Ed Sheeran if they want another hit and possible academy award.
I certainly hope it's not ES but after Smith's appointment I wonder.
Because my conversation on what toppings would 007 put on his hot dog went nowhere
Sorry @PanchitoPistoles, I don't think your hero's working on this one. That being said, yes, I do think he's a great director.
Bond would rather eat broken glass than a hotdog!
I could see Bond eating a hot dog if he's undercover in New York or some similar place.
Can't agree with that at all except for maybe M's DAD which still kind of worked within the context of what was being shown compared to WOTW's pretentious bs.
@DonnyDB5 : Did you see my earlier post on this?
But it does set him up nicely for Bond 26, scheduling wise. ;)
The fact Bond is headed to Norway suggest that the team at EON did go and see MI6, and decide to use that film as a basis for inspiration, much like they did with TDK in Skyfall. At least we know they aren't running away from the challenge, but still its hard to see how they could use a location better than McQ and Cruise did. And they are inviting comparisons somewhat.
There is no comparison here because fallout only shot a single scene which lasted a few minutes for cliff fight , bond does Way more than that using location for a whole lot of sequence especially after they are getting so much incentive.
The song is rather good, but as soon as he starts singing, (he starts with a groan/whine), it doesn't work as a Bond theme.
He sounds like he's lost the power cable to his X box.
No other actress would have squealed, "James!" as effectively as Tanya Roberts.
Agreed. The best stuff Mendes did in his two films.
