Latest Bond theme...

...is it just me or is Madonna`s "Die Another Day" the worst Bond theme ever (at least I pressume it`s going to be used in the opening credits of the movie)? It`s bloody dreadful...

As comic book guy from The Simpsons would say -"Worst. Theme. Ever."

It`s not good. It`s not even good for a Madonna song, never mind a Bond theme.

I know he`s an obvious choice, but what about Robbie?

Fowler? I didn`t know he could sing but he`d probably come up with a better Bond theme than Mrs Ritchie. I think The Spy Who Loved Me was the best tune that summed up Bond... everybody now, "Noooobody does it better....". Christ I`m bored.

I agree that it isn`t a good Madonna song, she just hasn`t moved on enough from the `Music` album...though it is still a great song. As for it being a good Bond theme....well. The Bond themes gone by have all sounded much the same. Even the recent Garbage and Sheryl Crow efforts have been rather samey. The new film looks like it is a slightly different, and edgier Bond film, so I think the Madonna song being so different (different doesn`t mean bad) from previous themes is a great thing. Well done Madonna. But let`s hope her next album is a step forward from `Music`.

OK, didn`t think I needed to say `Williams`...

Best bond theme... this could be a thread all on it`s own. I think Live and Let Die takes some beating.

Best film theme ever? Mission Impossible 2 (the Limp Bizkit one). Beat U2`s bland version hands down... :-). Also Nine Inch Nails` `closer` (from Seven; only played in part at the end, though).

Yeah, I`m bored, too :-)

Why on earth did she use all that clipping on the lyrics?

"Thi.Di.Ano.Da."

I was surprised about the choice of track, but a mate in the music biz who saw the film this week (big thumbs up) says that it works well when you see the opening sequence - won`t give any spoiliers away!

To be honest apart from Live and let die, view to a kill the rest of the bond themes are just plain s***e, okay goldfinger and nobody does it better, are okay but really overrated.

Madonnas Die another day is a bold move, and discards the big orchestra which had a running theme through all of the bond movies. I like the music, but I hate the lyrics to Die Another Day, it just reeks of cheap tacky chart pop.
