streak Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Dalton was a good Bond, as mentioned before he was ahead of his time. He is closer towhat James Bond was like in the books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 I haven't listened to the full Adele song yet, only the 90 second preview of it. I'll download the leak when I get home tonight.I dig it, what I've heard anyways. I'm not a fan of Adele's music but she's got the right voice and the retro feel is fitting for the 50th Anniversary. Much better than the garbage that Jack White and Alicia Keys gave us for Quantum of Solace.Daniel Kleinman is back as a the title designer too, so I imagine we'll have a great sequence to go with the song. I never cared for MK12's titles for Quantum. Very bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I really dig the Adele song. Easily in my top 5 - but my favorite is still You Know My Name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhead74 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Daniel Craig is awesome as Bond. He can make a woman do anything. ANYTHING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 He's no Connery. Meh. Connery was the definition of boss. Slick hair? Check. Iconic accent? Check. Smooth motherfucker? Check? Cigarette always present? Check. Boss? Check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Connery WAS awesome, my absolute favourite. And those amazing 60s suits he wore were pretty goddamn dashing too. Not to mention the hot Bond girls in all the Connery films, but Daniel Craig runs close second. Easily better than all the others after Connery.

Georgy Zhukov Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I want to go on record and say that the last three Bond themes sucked so much ass. Skyfall is the best since The World is Not Enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I want to go on record and say that the last three Bond themes sucked so much ass. Skyfall is the best since The World is Not Enough.You didn't like You Know My Name? I thought the theme worked great for the introduction of Craig's Bond. The song itself is based around the progression from the Bond theme so I loved how the melody from the song became David Arnold's dominant theme throughout the score, saving the Bond theme until the very end. I always associate that melody with Craig's Bond now, so for that reason, I'd call You Know My Name one of the best themes in the franchise.I agree with the others though. Die Another Day is the absolute worst song in the franchise, and Another Way To Die was a lame disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Garbage is amazing. Didn't Bono do the music for Goldeneye? Tina Turner did the vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use Your Delusion 1 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I despise 80s pop but like Aha and Duran Duran's bond songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I know, right? Those songs fucking rocked! IMO nobody can top Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better for The Spy Who Loved Me. Loved the intro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yep. The Living Daylights was sensational! Still love it. And The World Is Not Enough was great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 The Living Daylights is awesome. Best Bond songs of the 80s. I also like A View To A Kill even though I can't stand Duran Duran. I'm with you guys on The World Is Not Enough. Great song, almost underrated in that you hardly see it mentioned among the great Bond songs even though it deserves to be there.

Redhead74 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) He doesn't even look like James Bond.So what exactly is James Bond supposed to look like? Sean Connery being the first I suppose set the benchmark for what Bond is 'supposed' to look like, but none of the 5 Bond players after Connery look anything like him and Pierce Brosnan certainly doesn't. Unlike many of the actors post Connery, Daniel Craig can really act and the stunt performances are exceptional, especially taking into account the advancements with production and post production techniques. IMO his films make most of the previous Bond films look almost B grade in comparison. The Connery films stand the test of time for coolness (just can't beat the 60s styling) but Craig's films are just high quality on every front.
