Action-Adventure The 26th James Bond Film

I feel like Dua Lipa could do a solid, upbeat Bond song.

Depends. I can see her do a sexy upbeat song and a sensual slow song as well.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Dua Lipa should do the next Bond song, play the next Bond girl, and be the next Bond.

Also, the movie should be called Duanother Day.

Dr. Samantha Anyhoney. And she will give all the honey.

I feel like this Muse song should have been a Bond song

 

[DyeLorean]

Jamiroquai has some solid spy film-oriented sounds in their back catalogue that I think could work really well for a Bond theme.

 

[Frodo]

I really want the next film Bond theme to be a bombastic and catchy rocker like You Know My Name, Live and Let Die , or View To A Kill.

I don't want another melancholy balled like the last two films had .

Don't get me wrong, some of the Bond ballads like You Only Live Twice, Nobody Does It Better, and Skyfall, are among my favorites in the series, but for the first reboot film, I'd like to see the return to another up-tempo Bond theme.

The World Is Not Enough is still my favorite Bond theme, followed closely by Skyfall and Goldeneye.

With them aiming for a younger Bond, probably for a younger 18-35 demographic (or I think those are the standard ages in that demographic range, but I could be off - give or take a couple) - I think they will as that basically seems like it would go hand in hand.

 

[Sebastos]

Skyfall and You Know My Name have always been my favorite songs and the title sequences for both Skyfall and Casino Royale are equally as good. Casino Royale specifically with the iconography of the playing cards to the bullet holes in the seven of hearts card. Just so much meaning and foreshadowing there that's masterfully done.

 

[Dave McFly]

I agree with Sebastos 1000%

It’s amazing what a haircut and buffing up can do as long as you cast an amazing actor.

It still blows my mind how Daniel Craig went from

To

It’s why fan casting can be so boring since people never think outside of the box and what a great actor can achieve when they really want to. Usually those picks give you something extraordinary than something that is exactly what you expect.

I’ll always lean towards the risk if the talent is there.

Craig's styling at that press conference definitely wasn't the best, nor was his very similar appearance in that first promo photo they released. However, those who had seen him in Layer Cake (like the Broccolis) knew the potential (which definitely wasn't 17 years old me at the time):

if they had announced him with his hair cut and dressed like in Layer Cake, I think it would have calmed some of the outrage, but I actually think unveiling Craig looking like such a poor fit for the role was a brilliant choice in the end.

It allowed him to transform for the role and blow people's minds when the trailers and posters started dropping.

"The World is Not Enough" is the best of the Brosnan Bond themes IMO. Tina Turner sings the hell out of "Goldeneye" so it's got that going for it but the lyrics make no sense when you realize she's singing about an orbital weapon.

lol I’m used to Bond songs making no sense. I just look for a good melody and words that sound cool together.

 

[Captain Tired]

I don't particularly like any of Brosnan's Bond themes tbh.

Most of the Bond titles fit well enough as song titles but I just find it funny whenever the lyricists felt like they had to write the songs around the movie titles when they didn't need to at all. Lyrically, "Moonraker" is an even more ridiculous song than "Goldeneye". "Thunderball" doesn't make much sense either but that song is genuinely awesome, to the point that Tom Jones passed out hitting that last high note.

after watching The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare I think Alex Pettyfer would be a great 007 he looked the part and had the moves down of a 00 agent.

the only ones of his I really liked was Tomorrow Never Dies Sheryl Crow did a great job on it

That's the only one I have a slight soft spot for it.

 

[Dave McFly]

the worst one by FAR is Madonna's and I LIKE Madonna, it just did not work as a Bond song and having her cameo in the movie was a wtf moment

Second-worst for me. "Writing's on the Wall" was worse because Sam Smith not only shat it out in 5 minutes (he's admitted this), he cannot sing. Dude's falsetto is less Freddie Mercury and more "crying over a bad break-up". That's how bad he is. And we gave an Oscar for this? They should've used Radiohead's song.

 

[Filmfreak]

I personally liked all Brosnan songs a lot and still listen to them from time to time.

But that iconic line "Sigmund Freud analyze this" while she spreads her legs.

Is it sad that I didn't know they were a band and that was just his stage name. 😆

Not at all! It has been quite common to assume that was the name of the lead singer. With a few exceptions, the band isn't as prominent in the videos as Jay Kay. But they are indeed a great live band.
