I love the artwork, it is very clean and modern. I am being sincere.

I don't doubt your sincerity! For what it's worth, I like the formatting--the title on the clean white background is indeed clean, modern, and visually distinct--but find the (retouched) stills for each film visually unappealing.

Yes, the choices of stills (and their obvious plastic retouching) is weak, but the template of the covers works fine.

I would suggest that the white background be replaced with a one inspired by each movie's main title sequence, to give it more of an identity.

Yeah, just something with a little more oomph. Because the stills are the most distinctive elements on each cover, the success of the designs hinges on them, which is unfortunate given how bland most of them are. It doesn't serve the aesthetic sensibilities of the series well.

Ah, well. Catalog release cover art often leaves a lot to be desired.

Fox could have done a nice 4K scan for Goldeneye just like they did for "The Spy Who Loved Me".

I wonder what their excuse is.

I agree. The DVD Ultimate Editions had the best covers IMO.

hahaha, what awful covers.

I only need 4 films to have the whole series anyways.
