A story about an older Bond who is handicapped permanently or a younger Bond who might be handicapped temporarily (whether he knows it or not), perhaps from being shot or tortured while on assignment, might actually be quite interesting. How does someone who has spent their life almost constantly on the move in dangerous situations deal with being confined? And what happens when he has to get others to act for him?

Let's all just hope that you never have anything to do with the Movie industry, EVER!

Well on one hand I love the under score of Writings on the wall, but overall I think the lyrics and vocals leave much to be desired.
Why is it so hard for Barbara and Michael, to invite Shirley Bassey back for one last Bond Theme.

Eh? Has the song been released already?

She's already recorded a billion of them already and only one was really good.

A little over an hour ago

Meh, I love the orchestral score the lyrics not so much. Not a terrible song by any means just not up there with some of the classics.

Nada · 09-25-2015, 09:37 AM

Anyone have a link? I can't find the official song.

Not impressed

Nada · 09-25-2015, 09:45 AM

That is not a Bond theme song. That is terrible and even more dull and boring than Adele's track. I'd rather listen to the Quantum of Solace theme song than this crap. Someone invent a serum to bring back the dead and bring John Barry back writing the music and themes.

I don't mind it i think the worst was Madonna's Die Another Day, this is more old school with the Orchestra. Its one of those things with Bond themes people either love it or really hate it

dgoswald · 09-25-2015, 10:00 AM

The orchestration is on point. Everything up to the chorus - or just before he goes full falsetto - is decent - but from that point onwards upto the moment he sings 'Writing's on the Wall' is a mess. What on earth? It doesnt feel like a Bond song at the exact moment it should kick into Bond mode, lol. Disappointed.

It might grow on me, especially when paired up with decent opening credits. So far, seems like a Whitney Houston ballad, and not one of the good ones.

The opening notes from the orchestra are excellent and sound appropriate. Everything else sounds like a cheesy 80's love ballad.

On first listen I don't think it's either great or terrible... just ... Meh.

X400 · 09-25-2015, 11:02 AM

song sucks...

the instrumental? is nice as it sounds like old bond/spy flick scores but smith's voice and his words? doesn't bring to mind Bond at all

Geoff D · 09-25-2015, 11:09 AM

Is this the song he said took 20 minutes to write? Never would've guessed. Utter shite.

when i read he got the song i was like 'uhoh' given his style (i like his music, just not for bond)
when i read he just took 20 mins, i was like 'gulp'
and after hearing it

i can hear why it just took 20mins though

Nada · 09-25-2015, 11:22 AM

Is it possible for them to get Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, or David Arnold in really quick and come up with a tune in a few days that might actually work for a Bond film? How could they possibly think this was appropriate for a Bond film.

I need to cleanse myself.

Geoff D · 09-25-2015, 11:23 AM

As folks have said, I don't mind the tune itself but having him warble over it absolutely kills it stone dead.

V40LLY · 09-25-2015, 12:20 PM

The worst things to happen to the Bond series, was the removal of the iconic gun barrel sequence at the beginning of the previous Daniel Craig films.

The second; M, being played by a woman-Judi Dench.

Please. Judi Dench is the best thing that ever happened to the series.
