I have a dream of ones seeing å John Williams score for Bond. It might have been overkill, but it would be so much fun!
Newman is capable of great scores. But what galled me about SP was the reuse of old tracks as early as the PTS. I don't know if he was bored or overextended or uninspired, but the score came across as lazy. Most composers would give their right arm to score a Bond film. Newman should have stepped aside.
This is way better than what we got in SF or SP.
I know it's rip SF/SP month, but not a chance. This is the worst in the series. The turn/shot is so wooden. Simply awful.
And when coupled with the GB design of QOS and SF they drop to truly abysmal.
SP is merely poor which given what went before I considered a good result to be honest. That's how low my GB expectations are these days. I'm more optimistic about England's chances going into a World Cup than I am of getting a good GB in a Bond film.
I think that's Craig's head on Brosnan's body.
Brosnan wears a tuxedo in his versuses the business suit Craig wears.
Please. Don't be so dramatic. Craig showing his pistol during his walk in SP's barrel was just plain sloppy.
For the record, I never had a problem with the placement of the gunbarrel at the end of Skyfall nor QOS. It's the terrible designs with the bad blood effects I dislike. Why Mendes thought he had to add an unnecessary title card after SP's baffles me. It literally adds nothing to the film.
That looks as slick today, as it did 20 years ago.
I hear ya.
A Williams Bond score would have been pure fun, especially during one of his most creative periods, i.e. the 70s, early 80s. Imagine him pulling a MR, with or without Spielberg for that matter. I'm not saying I would ever replace Barry's divine score for MR but it'd be interesting IMO to hear Williams in his boyishly playful days work with the Bond Theme and bring his own style to the game.
It's garbage, mate. The walk, the packaging, the positioning.
Having said that, I've always liked Brosnan's walk, turn and shoot best. That's the only area where I felt he surpassed his predecessors and successor.
Brosnan's "Bond walk" in general is great. He "moves" like 007 should move.
I'm not sure about his SP walk. You can tell they were trying to homage Roger's "patting a small man" pose.
CR was by far his best pose.
The SP one has him flaunting his gun about as he walks. The QoS one had him running so fast I thought there was a toilet to the left of the gunbarrel. CR's interesting but again I didn't like the gunbarrel design, and I hated the blood flow.
Speaking of gunbarrels, this might be a bit controversial — I actually really like Sean Connery's gunbarrel. It looks weird and sloppy but for some reason I like his final stance, and I like it for the fact that it actually looks like he's taken by surprise, then turns and shoots. As opposed to walking to the centre with the intent of turning and shooting.
