In that case I want Roger Moore back for 007 as well.

Harry Gregson-Williams, I am in awe of his "Kingdom in Heaven" soundtrack.
Michael Giacchino, did update the sound of modern Star Trek and his work in the Incredibles showed his skill towards the 007 formula.
Ennio Morricone, the mans music is legend the franchise should be so honoured.
There's a Youtube video of soneone using the Batman Returns ending score in the final scene of QoS and it fits very well.
Not in my case. It's just a "what if" scenario. I think Schifrin and Quincy Jones were quite qualified for the job.
Not bad, but I kind of feel like any dramatic music would work there. It's probably why Arnold felt no music was needed because any music would fit and it'd be too easy and/or distract from the scene.
My humble opinion - but as Clint Eastwood said - opinions are like as"holes - everybody has one.
I think you make a pertinent point. The 'heart' is there. Watch any Bond film, whether they are considered good, or bad, you'll always find a moment where you a stirred, usually because the scene, action, cue, has heart.
Totally agree. John Barry nailed it most of the time with most of his scores (Bond and non-Bond). I am a big fan of Thomas Newman but I thought he could have brought a lot more to Skyfall - look at the fantastic job he made of "The Good German" based on his slant on old Hollywood scores.
I guess it depends. I know SF had an underdeveloped acore although the subtleness helped make the "Storm's Coming" scene more intense. Missing was at least a small note or two during M's death scene.
A) Newman is not a Bond fan
B) Bond is not his style
C) He didn't put his heart in the music
All things Arnold did.
Then why Arnold's music is so mediocre?
It's not?
yes it is, the soundtracks of 007 movies since CR have become more a matter of having while being a completist but are more elevator music than exciting to listen to.
A very interesting score, somewhat reminiscent of Barry's The Ipcress File. I'm not sure if he's necessarily Bond material, but the main theme (which is a bit overused) is catchy, and piqued my interest.
Yes, Pemberton could do it, I own his scores. The Game score is great.
But as you said, he likes to repeat his main theme and often. It's his style it seems.
If he did a Bond score, he would have to tone down on the repetitiveness and also not using the same wind instruments again and again as he did in UNCLE.
Newman has proved he can only compose one film's worth of Bond score to be repeated ad infititum.
Arnold also just does the same thing each time - pretty much.
Agreed with this. By the time Bond 25 will be out David Arnold will have had 10 years to improve, and QoS had an amazing score.
