The 23rd James Bond film has some stuff that it needs to do to eradicate the last one. The problems with Quantum of Solace was firstly it was a rubbish title that never got referred to during the entire film. Secondly the theme tune was rubbish, Jack Black and Alicia Keys might be talented musicians on their own but together managed to make something that was marginally better than Madonna’s Die Another Day. Thirdly the plot was baffling and despite a recent watch of the 2008 offering, I still didn’t understand it and no one has been able to tell me what its all about. So I hoped that Skyfall would be able to put the franchise back on track. The theme tune is very good. I heard it when it was first released I was impressed with it and thought that it was infinitly more impressive when you see it with the titles. It seems to be quite harking back to the Shirley Bassey themes or other 1960’s Bond themes. I would say out of the last three themes its probably the best. The plot is much bet...
