That's amazing.

I love the new samples. This is the musical evolution of Bond. I can't wait to hear the entire score. My mind was blown by those samples, especially "The Chimera", "Close Shave" and "Severine".

6:06 - very John Barry-esque.

Maybe I just don't think there was enough in QoS that resinates with me, though it's far from the worse in the series. At least it's not boring which is my beef with the worse Bond movies. Even with the okay Bond movies, like The Living Daylights, the pacing slows down too much in some parts.

I completely agree there isn't enough there, but I like what is there a lot. I can compeltely understand those that feel different. I use to dislike it a bit, but now I like it. Definitely thin on the plot and the action is not shot all that well.

You could add a good 15 mins just with the two Camille, Fields and Mathis, and re-edit the entire thing and come up with a much better film imo. No way that film should have been the shortest Bond film.

I never really got the sense that Quantum of Solace was too short. There were many other problems with that film, but Bond doesn't really need to be long. If anything, I thought Casino Royale was a little too long.

The so-called Holy Trinity of Bond films (Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger) are all under two hours.

QoS just feels kind of thin. It speeds along and never quite enjoys itself enough and in the process you miss out on some great characters.

And do a lot of people consider Dr. No over Thunderball when it comes to Connery's run? More so then Goldfinger, I find it to be the quintessential Connery Bond film. FRWL is the best but Thunderball is the film that I feel captures all that made up Connery's Bond.

I think You Only Live Twice is underrated though Sean was phoning it in. It does have the most iconic moments in the series, with the volcano hideout and this version of Blofeld. Arguably the best version besides Telly's.

It is ok, but it feels like a huge letdown after Thunderball imo. Thunderball was the big event movie. YOLT tried to do it again, but it didn't really come close.

Dr. No= Thriller
FRWL= Espionage
Goldfinger= Action
Thunderball= Event
YOLT= ?

 

[Dark Raven]

That's awesome and very clever. Who created that? I like the man falling out of the cloud for Skyfall. It seems to be the same toilet sign man.

Future Austin Powers fodder. It sucks the story didn't match the gorgeous cinematography, the beautiful music, and the whole feel of Japan.

 

[The Joker]

That's brilliant.

YOLT is especially annoying because it was EON's plan to film On Her Majesty's Secret Service after Thunderball, but they changed the plan to exploit Bond-mania in Japan. While it was apparent that Connery was beginning to tire of the role in Thunderball, I wonder if the meaty acting material offered by OHMSS's story would have revived his enthusiasm for the role a bit. You know, finish off his contract on a bang. The remote Swiss locations might have also given Connery a respite from public attention. One can only dream about how awesome OHMSS would have been with Connery as Bond instead of Lazenby.

Moon + a rake. Lol

Very awesome. Oh, and thanks to total film, grabbed me a skyfall poster

Splendid.

Just heard the score samples...sounds great! It's definitely different what we're used to hearing on a Bond score, but I guess that was to be expected from Thomas Newman.

 

[Solidus]

Ya good stuff usually Newman's scores get me teary eyed.
