That's just spooky!
I'm not sure but a part of me wishes they'd bring it back. They stuck with it consistently for 4 straight films between TLD and TND. In my opinion it gave the movies a more independent feel. For whatever reason having 2 original songs made the movies feel a bit grander. Don't get me wrong I love the Bond theme but it shouldn't be used for every ending. For CR it absolutely made sense but I think they switch it up a bit for Bond 24.
This is my reasoning for why it should come back. The best Bond films are the ones that really feel independent from the series - namely OHMSS, CR, TLD, LTK, and to an extent GE and SF - as quality pieces of cinema, and only two of my examples have the Bond theme at the end rather than an original song.
There's this little green man on Neptune who found it a decent song, but other than that, it's a criminality on the ears.
Seriously cannot abide that particular one, and always switch off as soon as Goldeneye ends and Bond and Simonova take off in the choppers. One of a very few select themes from the Bond series that I avoid at all costs, the others being Keys and White's Another Way to Die, Madonna's Die Another Day, and sorry to say, Simon's Nobody Does it Better
I was finding this post relatable until Nobody Does it Better. It easily on my top 5. I also kinda liked Another Way to Die. It's not the best song but far from the worst. Those honors would go to Lulu's The Man with the Golden Gun, AhHa's The Living Daylights, The Experience of Love, Garbage's The World is not Enough (I really didn't like it), and of course the bottom of the barrel....Madonna's crime against humanity in Die Another Day. Again these are just my opinions.
I like it. Granted it's not my favorite song in the world. I enjoy it for it's connection to "Leon The Professional."
For Leon The Professional I felt Serra's score worked. But for James Bond it was totally wrong. I wonder Serra even watched the old Bond films with John Barry scoring. The scores should be lush, exotic, and full of life. GE's score just felt way too moody and cold for it's own good.
Well I for one loved Serra's score. It made GoldenEye truly unique. And that's why It's my favorite Bond movie.
Ge is a purposely sterile movie with a lot of warmth sucked out
1. Surrender
2. If There Was a Man
3. If You Asked Me To
4. From Russia with Love
5. Disco Moonraker
6. DAD Remix
7. The Postman Pat Theme
8. Something Played on a Kazoo
9. Slamming Two Bricks Together that sounds a bit like a song
*A FEW RANKS LATER*
10000000. The Experience of Love
Cannot argue with that.
Good way to desribe TEOL.
Bloody hell DAF is dull and, in all honesty, I don't really find it that funny. Aside from a few good moments a lot of it is just dated nonsense. The end song is good though.
6. The Experience of Love
5. DAD remix
4. If there was a man
3. FRWL
2. Moonraker disco
1. Surrender
I have a strange appreciation of it. It somehow just feels like it belongs there at the end of GE, which, by the by, is my second favorite Bond film.
GOOD: Moonraker Disco Version
The Experience of Love and DAD Dance Remix are unrated at the moment
AWFUL: Should they have put Only Myself To Blame on TWINO credits, I... Well...
Judging by the comments Serra and the song have a decent fan following. Like I said I don't hate the song and listening to it without a connection to Bond I kinda like it's mellow and relaxing feel. Dare I say it might be underrated.
A GOOD for The Experience of Love. Thanks, @DoubleOhhSeven
I like Serra's music from Goldeneye. As a fan of Kraftwerk, Human League, Heaven 17, Level 42 Giorgio Moroder or Daft Punk it's quite logical.
2. FRWL - (epic)
3. If You Asked Me To - (love it)
4. If There Was A Man - (love it, near tie with IYAMT)
5. Moonraker (End Title) - (pretty good)
6. DAD (Dirty Vegas Main Mix) - (pretty good, near tie with MR disco)
7. The Experience of Love - (don't mind it)
It's a lot better there, performed live, than it is in the credits of a Bond film.
Also, is it Serra on vocals there?
Yep, mine too. Beautiful song!
