such a good bond song. this movie in my opinion was the last great bond film. all the others since then have just been mediocre at best. tomorrow never dies had that james bond "swag" whereas the most recent ones have too many product placements, no gadgets, etc..Brosnan was better than Craig.
Tommorow Never Dies and Goldeneye was Pierce's best films, the world is not enough is okay and tommorow never dies is mediocre. But i like all of the bind films with Pierce, he's the best by far.
Dull and forgettable Bond theme, but still listenable. QofS theme was just plain painful to sit through, especially after the great Casino Royale theme sung by Cornell.
when pierce brosnan 007 movies first started coming out was the best days of my life. I remember the good times i would sit down with my cuzins watching it and playing his games right after. i just wish it would go back to those days. tobad pierce brosnan had to quit being james bond :"(
I remember ,when I went to the Movie theater to watch Titanic but all tickets were sold out so I decided to watch Tommorow Never Dies and year later I watched Titanic on TV I said to myself I was glad that I didnt get to watch Titanic on that day.
Agreed. And after the utterly humourless Quantum of Solace, if anything the franchise needs to lighten up a bit. The Q scenes always do that and Cleese is great in them.
The World is not Enough makes it fairly clear that Q is retiring, not dying. In either case, are you saying that you'd prefer they just didn't have a Q? Cos that's exactly what they've done in the Daniel Craig films.
@TheConciseStatement yah it sad the old Q was awesome he was in every James Bond movie up till The World Is Not Enough another thing is that Daniel Craig is the worst Bond ever and they made James Bond to much into a drama now
I don't think he's in Dr. No or Live and Let Die, Darth. He appears in From Russia with Love but without much personality. Q truly becomes the loveable grump constantly irritated by Bond in Goldfinger.
I meant Llewellyn's Q. I was genuinely on two minds whether to refer to the original Q in parenthesis but thought it'd just be showing off. Should've stuck a big red countdown in the comments section! XD
@DarthRevanist actually if you read the bond books craig plays an awesome version of (reckless bond) connery plays the best bond with the suave and intimidation that an agent should have. brosnan played a modern version of connery and didnt do too bad. in conclusion connery wins with runner up brosnan followed by craig
it sucks that pierce brosnan's last bond film was turned into a POS video game instead of a movie :/ (who ever thought of that should be shot repeatedly and left to die)
IMHO Quantum of Solace was much worse. Whether you like the comic book vision of Die Another Day, it was a lot more consistent in tone. Solace was all over the place. All the action sequences bored me. The plot was incoherent and inconsequential. (Die Another Day's was certainly the latter but it was pretty simple and had no pretensions of self-importance.)
@TheConciseStatement i dont really like craigs bond films, they lack the bond feel and have more of a bourne feeling :/ no futuristic gadgets, no john cleese. very big disappointments to those who truly respect the franchise. (i watched pretty much all the bond films and craig's was the only one i fell asleep at.)
Oh, no John Cleese! They hired him for two films and then told him to piss off again. That was depressing. Irrespective of your opinions of Die Another Day, you had to love Cleese's Q in it.
You really didn't like Casino Royale? Part of the reason I hated Quantum of Solace was because I felt it cheapened the groundwork of the previous film. Craig isn't MY Bond - that will always be Brosnan - but I do appreciate him doing what Dalton attempted back in the late 80s, and as ever, with the right script it works and when it doesn't it, it doesn't. For me, they're following a similar pattern too - I loved their first, I hated their second, and now financial troubles kick in.
@TheConciseStatement craigs first wasnt horrible, but i didnt feel it was great D: it was supposed to be bonds first mission, but it created so many time paradoxes. but i did like the free running bit.
Fair enough. I think Royale is a bit too long and it's not as good as GoldenEye. I wouldn't worry about paradoxes though. The only film so far to logically follow after the other is Quantum of Solace. The rest are pretty much unrelated films. That's why no one really cares that Bond tries to pass himself off in front of Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, even though they've already met face to face in You Only Live Twice. (That and the fact he's been in his 40s since 1962!)
It's really just about what each country's used to. If you're used to PAL versions NTSC ones sound way too deep, and if you're used to NTSC versions then the PAL ones are too squawky and high pitched.
In any case, most people can't replicate the sound mixes they hear in the cinema, which in my opinion are getting even worse, with it becoming very hard to make out sections of dialogue amidst the loud score and sound effects, until one watches it in their scaled down setup at home.
Pierce Brosnan put the charm and smoothness in the character. He put the "James bond" in Agent 007. one of the best actors of the character ahead of sean connery and roger moore. the current guy is a good actor but he took out the charm and protrays more of a ruthless assassin than a special agent. and no, pierce brosnan acted in 4 bond movies - goldeneye, tomorrow never dies, the world is not enough, and die another day.
How come this movie is never consistent with its guns? In some scenes, Bond has a suppressed guns and others he doesn't? Is there a reason all these guys keep switching back and forth with their guns, suppressed and unsuppressed.
Bland theme for a Bond film, her voice is way to weak. The end credits with k.d.lang singing Surrender is pure Bond ! Why they went with Crow's version is beyond me.
lol well just to clarify, I was referring to the FILM obviously and NOT the video game. although the video game happens to be awesome as well that is why I own both of them
just wanted to include the '007' in there for added effect, know what I mean?
But I'm glad you like them. Pierce's legacy is having a hard time of it now that the public has accepted Daniel Craig's reshaping of the role. Bond fans have very short memories given that they found Pierce to be indispensable just four years ago. I still think it was a very stellar performance from him.
Ahoy! All Malaysians! Catch James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies tonight 2/16 airing 11pm, TV2 (Radio Television Malaysia)!! if any part cuts, it's not my problem! Watch out!
Well this is one fan that thinks Brosnan was the best Bond since Connery.
I think the jury's still out on Daniel Craig but he's doing a pretty good job so far.
BTW, I hope the Copywrite Trolls don't shut this video down. I don't know how many times I've Favorited these Bond intros only to have them blocked. Honestly, does anyone seriously think we're gonna buy the DVD just to see the opening credits?
And I'm probably most annoyed about my Return of the King credits upload. The comments board there was gushing with responses about the artwork and how well the adaptation was in general. It eventually got removed as well.
Don't forget Dalton, even Desmond Llewelynn said that he was the closest representation to the Ian Flemming books. But whether it be Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, or Craig Bond still rules!
Yes, Dalton was really trying to do what Daniel Craig did 20 years earlier. They just wouldn't give him strong enough material to work with (though The Living Daylights does have a lot going for it).
And they could never work out how to make Dalton funny without being camp or silly, a problem the writers solved in the excellent Casino Royale. (In my opinion Quantum of Solace is a major backwards step, and an utterly humourless film.)
Quantum did have one or two funny parts, mainly where the one guy says "You were supposed to kill her!" Bond- "Well I missed!" and knocks him off the bike.
@TheConciseStatement, I definitely agree. Dalton can sometimes get a lot of crap for his Bond movies and how gritty and less flashy they were than the previous movies, but I really think that what they were trying to do with Dalton in the role was ahead of the times for the character.
@EchoBoomer1987 Exactly! I hate it when people fight over who's better. Moore's good but he's too funny. Connery will always be awesome but he's too overrated when it comes to Bond films. I personally like Dalton, Brosnan, and Craig because Dalton and Craig are closest to the books, and Brosnan b/c I grew up with his portrayal of Bond. GoldenEye was the 1st Bond movie I've seen as a kid and I didn't know it was a whole series of movies back then, so I thought Brosnan TRULY was James Bond. lol.
@EchoBoomer1987 What about George Lazenby - very good fight scenes - classic line in the film when he breaks the fourth wall (sort of ) and says "this never happened to the other guy"
@PopkosCZ Quantum's song was not very good I agree. Kind of grows on you though. THe film was good humourless is good and it really reminded me of the 60's when everyone knew that Sean was JB and the tension was high. Had the look of the 60's too - a bit raw and not overdone. THe fight scenes were brutally honest too, none of this getting punched ion the face 14 times and hopping up and wiping the bblood away from your split lip.
That's interesting pyfutura. Usually everyone has at least one they can't stand. Madonna's Die Another Day is certainly the most divisive one I can think of. Many Bond fans hated it, but lots of non-Bond fans loved it, so it's up for debate whether the song achieved what they wanted it to.
the only Bond songs I didn't really like were: From Russia with Love, All Time High (Octopussy), You Know My Name (Casino Royale), and Another Way to Die (Quantum of Solace)
I love The World Is Not Enough. That opening boat chase knocks the one in Quantum of Solace for six.
You know, the best description I read of Bond's predicament in TWINE is that he thinks he's found Tracy but instead gets Blofeld. That always made me smile. And no disrespect to Donald Pleasance but I can see why his bedroom scenes with Pierce were cut.
@TheConciseStatement are you cross refrencing bond villians? it's been a while since i ve run through my collection, Donald Pleasance is in TWINE? or am i mistaken. I hate not clueing into references. read what you said about kd langs version, have to agree. think the songs are where they belong.
Nah, I read an article once that summed up Bond's predicament as thinking Elektra is another Tracy Di Vicenzo, but she turns out to be much closer to Blofeld - and I was just joking by pondering the prospect of a Pierce and Pleasance love scene. I guess in some ways though, Robert Carlyle's Renard is like a modern day Blofeld.
Tomorrow Never Dies was great and underrated Bond movie. Pierce Brosnan shines as always. Michelle Yeoh was great - maybe the strongest Bond Girl. She could kick Bond's ass too. Jonathan Pryce was great villain. Teri Hatcher should have had much more screen time.
I also love K.D.Lang's theme song - really unique performance
For Pierces vision of bond, she is actually the best next to the girl in Goldeneye but the best has to be the one from Live and Let Die. I think shes the best bond girl of all.
Listening to the CD version of this, I have to say that the movie one and the recorded one are quite different -- this one is definitely more nasally and lower quality.
I /love/ the CD version, but yeah, this one is a bit lacking in comparison. It's still a good song -- and a great vocalist.
I'm baffled by the negative reactions this song receives. This is one of my favorite Bond songs. I especially like when she lets it rip for the chorus.
This (plus The World Is Not Enough and Casino Royale) is possibly my favorite opening, visually, of them all and the film was imaginative in its plot and action. I like Goldeneye better, but I have to remember what was so fresh about Goldeneye was seeing Bond coping in a post-Cold War era which wasn't fresh. I agree, the X-ray of the pistol is awesome. Alice Cooper did a rendition for The Man With The Golden Gun but that song wasn't used, though it was bad ass.
I actually like it more than GoldenEye. It's the film that I essentially grew up with. Is the script as strong - probably not. But in terms of sheer, relentless and imaginative action, I still don't see another Bond film that matches it 12 years on.
1997!? Whoa it's been so long. I saw this in theatres. That means I was only 7. That's weird because I remember being older and watching the bond movies for the first time.
Excellent title sequence; I love the way they've used the (then) modern technology to produce something that looks really fresh, original and modern yet totally retains the spirit and feel of the classic Bond title sequences.
Still stands up very well 12 years later; about the only thing I could nitpick is that the computer figure has a slightly too obviously CGI feel to it.
Oh yeah, and I thought the song was pretty decent as well, especially in context.
It's true that CG creates an artificial glossiness that you just don't get with old school effects like models and animatronics. And you get a depth of field with lighting that the flatness of CG can't give you.
However, we can be a tad unforgiving. Our eyes now casually dismiss the impossible, even if the SFX are quite good. When the car spins in the tunnel in Die Hard 4.0, everyone cried "CG!", but apparently it was a composite of a real car.
In '97 people were probably like "WOW THATS AWESOME" just like Jurassic park and such. CG is so common place today, if it isen't really well done, we can tell it's fake and cheap and our eyes pick it out as such.

One of the better bond films and without a doubt one of my personal favorite intros and songs.

@PopkosCZ No. The worst ever was Die Another Day
malvadeza 1 year ago
@PopkosCZ Quantum's song was not very good I agree. Kind of grows on you though. THe film was good humourless is good and it really reminded me of the 60's when everyone knew that Sean was JB and the tension was high. Had the look of the 60's too - a bit raw and not overdone. THe fight scenes were brutally honest too, none of this getting punched ion the face 14 times and hopping up and wiping the bblood away from your split lip.

pyfutura07 2 years ago 6
That's interesting pyfutura. Usually everyone has at least one they can't stand. Madonna's Die Another Day is certainly the most divisive one I can think of. Many Bond fans hated it, but lots of non-Bond fans loved it, so it's up for debate whether the song achieved what they wanted it to.

Well i'm a Bond fan, and i like pretty much all the songs that i can remember.
Been a while since i've watched a Bond movie.
The World Is Not Enough, is one of my favs.
Tinman11223344 2 years ago 6
I love The World Is Not Enough. That opening boat chase knocks the one in Quantum of Solace for six.
You know, the best description I read of Bond's predicament in TWINE is that he thinks he's found Tracy but instead gets Blofeld. That always made me smile. And no disrespect to Donald Pleasance but I can see why his bedroom scenes with Pierce were cut.
TheConciseStatement 2 years ago
lol i wish he actually killed ernst blofield ocne or soemthing instead of jsut taking SPECTRE out completely
swkotorfan 2 years ago
@TheConciseStatement are you cross refrencing bond villians? it's been a while since i ve run through my collection, Donald Pleasance is in TWINE? or am i mistaken. I hate not clueing into references. read what you said about kd langs version, have to agree. think the songs are where they belong.
Kurty451 1 year ago
Nah, I read an article once that summed up Bond's predicament as thinking Elektra is another Tracy Di Vicenzo, but she turns out to be much closer to Blofeld - and I was just joking by pondering the prospect of a Pierce and Pleasance love scene. I guess in some ways though, Robert Carlyle's Renard is like a modern day Blofeld.

Tomorrow Never Dies was great and underrated Bond movie. Pierce Brosnan shines as always. Michelle Yeoh was great - maybe the strongest Bond Girl. She could kick Bond's ass too. Jonathan Pryce was great villain. Teri Hatcher should have had much more screen time.
I also love K.D.Lang's theme song - really unique performance

For Pierces vision of bond, she is actually the best next to the girl in Goldeneye but the best has to be the one from Live and Let Die. I think shes the best bond girl of all.

BigNibble10 2 years ago 9
Listening to the CD version of this, I have to say that the movie one and the recorded one are quite different -- this one is definitely more nasally and lower quality.
I /love/ the CD version, but yeah, this one is a bit lacking in comparison. It's still a good song -- and a great vocalist.

I'm baffled by the negative reactions this song receives. This is one of my favorite Bond songs. I especially like when she lets it rip for the chorus.

This (plus The World Is Not Enough and Casino Royale) is possibly my favorite opening, visually, of them all and the film was imaginative in its plot and action. I like Goldeneye better, but I have to remember what was so fresh about Goldeneye was seeing Bond coping in a post-Cold War era which wasn't fresh. I agree, the X-ray of the pistol is awesome. Alice Cooper did a rendition for The Man With The Golden Gun but that song wasn't used, though it was bad ass.

I actually like it more than GoldenEye. It's the film that I essentially grew up with. Is the script as strong - probably not. But in terms of sheer, relentless and imaginative action, I still don't see another Bond film that matches it 12 years on.

Excellent title sequence; I love the way they've used the (then) modern technology to produce something that looks really fresh, original and modern yet totally retains the spirit and feel of the classic Bond title sequences.
Still stands up very well 12 years later; about the only thing I could nitpick is that the computer figure has a slightly too obviously CGI feel to it.
Oh yeah, and I thought the song was pretty decent as well, especially in context.
NotATube 2 years ago 8
to be honest i think CGI technology has come far enough to say that anything CGI related looks real
in my opinion when i see anything CGI it looks fake. i hope im proven wrong in the next 30 years or so

So you think "anything CGI related looks real" or that when you, "see anything CGI it looks fake"? Is the first sentence a typo?
TheConciseStatement 2 years ago
typo
and i realise it sounds silly after i typed it
what i mean is for me personally, MOST things that are CGI just look fake to me
1999UTD 2 years ago
It's true that CG creates an artificial glossiness that you just don't get with old school effects like models and animatronics. And you get a depth of field with lighting that the flatness of CG can't give you.
However, we can be a tad unforgiving. Our eyes now casually dismiss the impossible, even if the SFX are quite good. When the car spins in the tunnel in Die Hard 4.0, everyone cried "CG!", but apparently it was a composite of a real car.
And I felt WETA's work on King Kong was superb.
TheConciseStatement 2 years ago
In '97 people were probably like "WOW THATS AWESOME" just like Jurassic park and such. CG is so common place today, if it isen't really well done, we can tell it's fake and cheap and our eyes pick it out as such.
