Pemberton's scores have been quite minimalist and restrained in that regard. I'd imagine his Bond scores would be closer to Newman than Barry but with a bit more of an old-school twist. His "UNCLE" score is a great ride, and his BBC drama efforts are beautiful.
Arnold is a big, brassy action composer who knows how to create a motif and structure the scores the same way Barry did, which is very important. He's a great musician.
Second best ensemble cast after CR.
Incidentally I'll watch it tomorrow night as the second last in my current Bondathon.
I started a mini-thon with the Moore films...
It's the Americans only and they should not be that important.
Bond is British and SP came saw and conquered in the UK and Europe.
Certainly the references to older Bond movies wasn't lost on me in SP (and the fact that they swiftly referenced LALD, my first and favourite, was nice), but the film itself is something of a mess and is unfortunately still somewhat dreary and dull.
And the score throughout is bland and lazy.
Let's change the posts in this topic. We first start blasting the quality of the film and mention several examples for that. And we end each post on a good note, with all the positive films the movie has on offer :-D!
That's why the film sits slap-bang in the middle of my rankings at #12 GG !!
It might have conquered the box offices in Europe but still I have yet to meet a single person that wasn't somehow bored by it. As are related Sheila somewhere else for most of the time when I asked somebody about it I get a shrug and a "so lala" which for many people is the polite way of saying "I don't like it".
yeah baby yeah!
#1 DAD. This is really because it's been out the longest. Excellent Brosnan Bond in an overall mindless film. Entertaining enough.
#2 QOS. It's a fast, hard ride. Dan rocks in it like Sean did in FRWL. Never bores or disappoints.
#3 SP. Fun Bond, a throwback to TB style. Easy, comfortable watch.
#4 CR. Good adaption of the novel, solid direction. A little long with some pretentious dialogue, but overall nicely done.
#5 SF. This one's so uneven that I have a hard time getting through it... is he washed up, is he not... is he superhuman, is he over the hill... is he smart, is he stupid... it's like a very dark MR...
OMG
Thanks- lemme say that even though I am not SF's biggest fan, I see a LOT of greatness in it. It's just that SP blows me away every time I watch it with the ridiculous fun I have!
If we all follow your 'advice', which on so many occassions is formulated as fact, then 100% of all forummembers in here will suddenly loveeee " SPECTRE" :-).
