He injects too much of himself in the reviews. He is also far too reliant on DVD extras and the like to truly form his own analysis. He is also very inconsistent as to how he compares different films and any system that does pop-up is very ad-hoc.
He disliked Goldeneye's soundtrack, stating his reasons, but had mistaken symphonic for "epicness" and epic for Bond. He outright forgot that movie soundtracks complement, enhance and help set the mood of a movie. It does not make the movie.
As a reviewer, he is actually pretty bad, but as a person to poke fun and provide extra commentary for isolated key scenes and facts, he pretty good. I especially enjoy his observations as to how much America sucks in the Bond movies. But as a whole package? No.
I mean, The World is Not Enough, had issues, but to turn around and say Quantum of Solace was the better film between the two? Bullshit. QoS ranks very bloody low in my rankings close to Die another Day which at least had John Cleese and a competent first half. QoS was consistent in one thing and one thing only, being terriblely inconsistent.
QoS abortive attempts to be come more Broune like isn't even don't competently. While I am no fan of the Broune films and the style of action it subscribes to, it does them well within the confines of it's own style.
Screw it, I am not here to write a review.
I can't really rank the sound track since a lot of the time you end up ranking them according to how good the movie was as being a movie soundtrack, it's more about the complete package. However, I do dislike two of openers to recent Bond films, QoS and Die Another Day. QoS is a poor attempt to copy Casino. DAD computer mangled mess of a song.
I wouldn't disagree with you Kush for ranking Diamond's sound track so high since it feels like the final maturing of the Connery era music with all the good bits in one basket. Except the opening song letting it down as there were better songs before it in an otherwise excellent collection.
The Living Daylights is pretty good, but I feel it lacks a certain timelessness. Other than that, it is very to listen to.
