TLD still feels like a Moore film, but LTK was made specially for Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one QOS review put it about the bit where Bond is grasping the other dude's wrist to confirm his pulse is fading ... 'We're a long way from Octopussy' .

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I don't like him much, but his song would have to go some to be worse than Sam Smith's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I dislike Sam Smith's voice, but the song itself grew on me as a composition. As a longtime White Stripes fan it pains me to say, but Jack White's Quantum song is probably the worst in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The orchestral arrangement is just right for a Bond song, but the voice is grating. Docteur Qui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It's thrillingly John Barryesque ... until Smith opens his mouth. After that, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a young, sensitive gay man attempting to convey in song the perspective of a veteran 'tough cookie' Secret Service operative of avowedly heterosexual tastes.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Plot synopsis: Quote "In No Time To Die, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology. That would explain why the 007 code has been given to a new person if he's retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some bs. The only other two films I recall that had this subject in a form were OHMSS and License To Kill, both of which weren't considered a success, both of which led to drastic change.

It's gonna be okay. At the end of the day, it will be yet another movie where a spy named James Bond kills people and sleeps around with outrageously attractive women, drives an Aston Martin, uses ridiculous gadgets and performs over the top stunts while foiling some villain's plan.
