Actually, financially it is a fact. :P
Calm down, did I say I care? I was just saying it is a fact that they've made more sense. And.. actually.. more money in their hands means more money towards the next film.. so it is good for me (as long as I like the current films, which I do)
That's better if not more appropriate
Ok, Craig was not the finished article in Casino Royale, why I even took issue with hair colors and eyes and physique, but looking past that, and we have to eventually, in the part of the James Bond role it was like a return to Connery early days or Dalton even, but Craig still has some way to go to even match those names, one decent outing doesn't provide you with great status
I'm still mourning the fact that Dalton had at least 2 more Bond films in him but was denied that opportunity.
Unlike many, I actually liked Brosnan best as the older, more haggard Bond in DAD. However, 4 with him was plenty.
I don't buy this idea Craig is a throwback to Connery. He is very different. People forget how much humour there was in the Connery films. There's a misconception that Sean was 'serious' and Roger was a clown, but the differences weren't as great as people make out. Certainly they upped the camp quota for Roger but it was already well established in the series. Craig's Bond lacks the ease, grace and wit of Connery's Bond. I can't totally work out yet if that's deliberate - like they want to portray him as a diamond in the rough - but I sincerely hope that Craig's Bond gets to grow up in Skyfall. He needs to leave M(ummy) at home and get out there, get laid, and kick some evil a**.
I have always found it quite amusing though that Brosnan thought his leaving the series would always be in his control, he would always mention in interviews that Roger made one too many and that he would no when to stand down etc, funny how things turn out!
Oh indeed definitely! I'd say TWO more! Moore was 58 by AVTAK, and Brosnan was, if I remember correctly, 50 by DAD, so if he had gone the way of Roger Moore, we would have had him until 2010! That would have been really awesome! I'd say let him do Nightfire and Everything or Nothing as his last two. Even if NF had its roots set in YOLT and MR, let's face it, Nightfire is both of those movies done right!
Artistically it's also a fact. CR was better recieved than GE and miles ahead of TND, TWINE, and DAD. I know you're gonna say we don't know what we're talking about and you do but majority rules in this case. Craig's films are regarded as being better.
<font color=blue size=7> <b>'Surrender' should have replaced Crow's Tomorrow Never Dies for the OT.</b></font>
Pretty much my thoughts. Sheryl Crow's is ok but Surrender is far better.
It has the classic Connery sound.. and would suit the Craig storyline better, what with the intensity of the song.
Yes and yes!
TND is a strong song, but Crow was the wrong singer.
100% agree. Surrender is a quality tune. TND is by far Brozza's best film and if they'd included this song at the start I might actually have rated it as 'not bad'.
Bond themes should be about the song sounding right, not the name of the artist.
A real shame! For some reason its like they crave a number one musical hit for Bond? Why? He is the number one film hero! Lets just get the best song for Bond instead of the artiste!
I think it was more to do with them wanting to attract a bigger, more commercially attractive artist. Not the right decision though.
Edit- I guess the comment you made was in reference to the 'reason' they gave us.
Great work Slyfox, watching them credits to that piece of music so took me back to 1997 with a smile on my face! Thank you!
This is like saying Oliver Hardy should of replaced Orson Welles in The Third Man :-<
Crow gave us one of the last truly fine (main) Bond themes amid some other garbage crap entries since that time, and with Kleinman's title designs also adding some enjoyment it all adds up to an entertaining intro. More often than not as soon as the film ends I just switch off and Lang doesn't even get a look in, never really enjoyed it. Crow has the best music here by a long chalk and deserves her place as the main theme artist
