Quantum Of Solace. It is not boring, but it gets a bit repetitive at times so Second.
Skyfall. Although I liked the TS as a whole, and how it was combined with the music, I believe the theme of the house falling apart and the eye of Bond there, be it young or the one we know, it's repetitive and it was enough having it just once. Again I liked it but it's nowhere near Kleinman's best.
So:
1)CR
2)QOS
3)SF

1. Casino Royale
2. Skyfall
3. Quantum Of Solace
I really like them all, but Casino Royale just seems pitch perfect for me. Love the way the themes of that movie are incorporated into the title sequence. Skyfall has the same thing going for it, but I feel the incorporation of women into the title sequence was there for any other reason than it was a Bond film.
"It's beautiiful"
2. CR
3. QoS
i dont remember her being in it ???
Pretty much spot on. CR possibly the best ever, SF not too far behind and then a massive chasm to QOS.
Calvin Dyson described AWTD as one of the worst songs ever done in the history of recorded sound :)) Even Madonna's DAD grew on him.
It's not THAT bad but its a fairly forgettable song. Adele's SF smothers it.
Mate it is that bad. 'Whooooo. Bang, bang' - absolutely horrendous.
You're also wrong when you say it's forgettable. If only. It's etched onto my soul and I'm about as likely to forget it as Fritzls daughter is the last 25 years. Maybe with therapy I can learn to live with the trauma of Keys screeching. I honestly think I'd have preferred Richard Keys having a crack at it.
This opening is also the best use of the gun barrel as Bond turns to shoot the guy he thought he drown in the sink. And the theme song, which felt strange in it's preemptive release before the movie's but seems perfect now as it plays over images of cards and sixties feeling, Bond-shaped, moving paper dolls. The most powerful and disturbing of all the openings this one is classy and packs a punch while revealing Bond's beginnings and reminding audiences why we all love our double O agent. Daniel Craig is a vision as Bond. Blue eyes, dusty hair and more muscular than any before him, he was the center of a heated debate which ended after this opening proved he had the acting chops to carry the mantel into the new Century of Bond.
Skyfall is great, and lagging a fair way behind is the awful QoS titles. Hate it!
I think CR's were the best.
That's pretty dark but =))
There's only three cool songs with the lyrics Bang Bang. One is this:
Another is this:
And the third is (of course) this:
Why not pick two films to face off against one another like the Bond film and villain threads? Keep this as an ongoing discussion.
Anyway, for the topic at hand:
1. Casino Royale
2. Skyfall
3. Quantum Of Solace

SF - More in line with the classic TS with an eery mood, coupled together brilliantly with Adele's amazing song.
QoS - It was mediocre at best, nothing special. Had the AWTD been an instrumental, the TS may have fared better.
2.) Casino Royale
3.) Quantum of Solace

Skyfall felt like it had mistakes in it. When the guns and knives were falling into the ground as graves, they just instantly stopped. There wasn't any downward momentum. It felt too CGI for me. I liked the hand dragging Bond and the white font, though.
Too much CGI... in a CGI title sequence. Right. Bad on you Kleinman.
1) Skyfall - Kleinman's best in my honest opinion, It felt like it could have been done by Maurice Binder if he were still alive. Also The music goes well with it.
2) Casino Royale - Another great effort by Kleinman, I loved the way Bond approaches the camera at the end while Cornell is screaming "You Know My Name!".
3) Quantum of Solace - The imagery was fairly good. The song really killed it however. Worst... Song... Ever... I actually like Die Another Day better than it, it at least has some good melodies, AWtD is just one big mess.
I understand that it's a CGI sequence, but it lacked a realistic fluidity that the other two had. It took me out of it.
The fist fights in Casino Royale moved as if they were real people fighting, and the edginess was only the art design. Same deal with the san in Quantum.
Skyfall's sequence just looked like it had mistakes. I work as a graphic designer, so maybe I'm just more picky about these things.
Side note, James Bond 007: Blood Stone has a pretty great sequence, except for maybe the song.
