I definitely noticed the repetitive nature during my first viewing in the theatre (dialogue is a big thing for me, which is why TB, despite its flaws, remains my #2 Bond film). They really need to get someone better in to polish this up for B25. This is not P&W's forte.

Well that never occurred to me ,I didn't give it another thought.
Well done Q,it's so obvious when you stop to think about it !!
Same here..mission based,a one-off proper Bond villain and henchman,and NO emotional baggage.
You liked Hinx though, right? He was great. Looking forward to seeing his thumbnails in Bond's face.
I did indeed....the train fight I thought was brilliant..i couldn't believe CraigBond was getting the crap beaten out of him by Hinx .
I was stunned.
The only thing that annoyed me was Bond didn't have a mark on him afterwards,which again was lazy to me.

The 1967 travesties yes.
Oh, come on. :D Yes, the film has the Bond name, but that's where the similarities end. I like to enjoy it as a non-nonsensical comedy. Much like I enjoy you @barryt007. Just kidding.
I love the DAF pts in which Bond does a somersault after pulling the cord and dropping the mustard mud. The stuff splatters everywhere, including on Bond, on the floor...and then he leaps up and there isn't a spot on him. (He also dried off very quickly after the pool dive with Bambi and Thumper).
Speaking of Bambi and Thumper, their names remind me of Bond's "Mickey Mouse" line in SP. Are there other Disney references in the films?
I understand this is a double reference, both to the year of 53 and the film being made 53 years later.
I'm sure someone has mentioned it in the past???
Similarly GoldenEye and Leon: The Professional have similar musical cues. Both of course scored by Eric Serra.
I never noticed that, cool!
I only pray on small animals.
I've never been a fan of Kamen. I find his scores all sort of sound the same. It works ok in big action films like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard but only as background music.
Apart from a couple of cues his score for LTK is the weakest Bond score of all.
That was me Leonard,after watching Lethal Weapon 2 as well...so so similar.
That is how I saw it as well. Probably no coincidence.
That's a sort of common thing amongst composers, I've noticed, at least ones with a particular sound. I can up bits and pieces of future film scores in some early John Williams, for example, in little moments here and there.
