Quantum of Solace & the theme tune.

Post by Catherine M » Sat Nov 01, 2008 6:53 pm

I have just seen the new Bond movie. I found it very fast, very serious
and very vengeful. Action scenes were great. It is a shame that there was a lack of glamorous locations or interesting characters.
Whilst Daniel Craig was highly watchable in the last film, he needs to develop a sense of humour in the next films.

As for the theme tune by Alicia Keyes : Die Another Way. Instantly forgettable.

I would love to know what other forum members think

I have heard it a couple of times, but I'm not impressed...................but it may be a grower :wink:

I see the movie took a record amount in taking's for any film opening on a Friday :) £4.9 million, which beat's the record held by one of the Harry Potter films. (Casino Royale took £2.9 million on it's first day).

I think I heard that this Friday's edition on Radio 2 of 'Friday Night is Music Night' is dedicated to Bond themes.

We're just off to see it now Catherine - - looking forward to the film but like you I already am disliking the theme tune! Not like the last theme from 'Casino Royale' which was just superb.
