And you needn't be a fan of Serra's. It's just that Barry could hardly be topped. Even if you were a fan of Serra Barry is still a different league.
And once again, needless brosnan bashing. You could've just said you thought craig and dench worked better together because of the character dynamic, but then you had to go on and insult brosnan. What's the point??? I hate how if you say one negative thing about craig you get people jumping in and telling you how awesome CR was and how skyfall will be the best thing ever, but talking bad about brosnan for no reason is ok, right??? its pathetic.
044- I actually enjoy brosnan and dench more because in craig/dench she's too much like a mum and the whole trust thing just got boring. And she takes up too much screentime, M is bonds boss who sits behind a desk and gives him the missions. It was original in TWINE but the craig era has really overused dench, one of the reasons I'm still unsure about skyfall is because of the M focused plot.
046- disagree. GE would still have been good.
Im sorry you're offended @thelivingroyale as you seem like a cool person but it's my opinon and Im entitled to it. I see alot of Craig bashing too but I don't go around telling people what they can and can't say. With all due respect.
As far as thesis #46 goes I don't think I've disagreed with any of the thesis' as much as this one. Serra's score is the biggest negative of a pretty decent Bond film. An improved score might even bumped it up a few places in my view.
Thesis 46: Disagree
It is however near impossible to not picture the movie in ur head though.
Having adored his work on Leon I was very excited when Serra was announced but the end result is, at best, average.
The gunbarrel is atrocious. I see on other threads people rating it as the one of the best but I just dont see how. I cant even hear the Bond theme just a series of low rumbles.
I find the music during the DB5 v Ferarri chase horrendously cheesy and better suited to a 70s porn film. The rest of the film is serviceable but the end credits song is an absolute abortion. I think its even worse than Another Way To Die which at least had a crack at the Bond sound.
Its a relief that during the tank chase someone at the studio or EON decided enough was enough and to bring in a proper blast of the Bond theme
I cant understand what went through his head writing The Experience Of Love. OK he had maybe been passed over by the studio for the title song but this is your one chance to write a Bond song and also to show them what they were missing. See how Arnold took on the challenge with TND for how to do it. It strikes me that he had this song tucked away somewhere and it was so bad he couldnt even use it as a B side and then at the last minute EON said we need you to write an end credits song. As he had already got his hands on the money he just tossed them this pile of crap and was out of there.
Although I agree with you (kind of) on The Experience of Love.
What is wrong with the "Ladies First" theme? Its cheesey and it sounds sleazy, kind of like the scene its attached to which is a big penis contest between two free spirits. Against the loud reving of the cars it works fine.
I like to listen to it when I drive sometimes.
These 4 minutes alone make Serra's score worth it. I agree with the thesis.
I barely see anyone on here bash Craig. Also, don't use the old "it's my opinion" line. Just because it's your opinion, doesn't mean it can't be a shit one.
Be careful there. I disagree with a fair bit of what doubleooh says but he IS perfectly entitled to voice what he thinks. No opinion here is "shit".
Perhaps lol but it doesn't mean they can't express them.
Hold on I didn't say that. Please don't make up quotes.
No, but BAIN123 said that... Dr Metz just mixed the 2 usernames by accident....
Agreed. The unique sound adds to the atmosphere of the film. Love every bit of it.
Yeah but we need the Brosnan fans on a Bond website too ;)
Im not being "pissy". Im just making a request. You and I had a bit of a war of words some time back so I wasn't sure what to think.
In any event I agree with Bain. No one's opinion here is "shit" and Im not sure who you think you are @Dr_Metz to say otherwise. We're all fans here and no one's opinion is more important than anyone else's. I can't stand Brosnan but I'd never look down on anyone for it. It's a matter of taste.
I suppose now I am getting pissy but only because that was an insulting thing to say anout the users on this board.
Moving on,
<font color=tomato size=4><b>THESIS 047</b></font>
<font color=blue size=7><b>LTK's restrictive rating was an undeserved case of overreacting.</b></font>
Here in the US it was released as PG-13. It was cut to avoid an R rating. The ultimate edition dvd is the full version and I wouldn't say it deserves an R rating.
