Tomorrow Never Dies

[Slippery Jack]

The funny thing about his TND score is that it uses the rejected title song by KD Lang as the main theme running throughout (the one that plays over the end credits). And yeah, doubt the Bond theme features any more than in the older films. Think his music suited the solid, play it safe nature of the Brosnan era. Can't remember what his stuff for the Craig films have been like. To be honest I lost interest in Bond in general after Die Another Day . . .

I find Tomorrow Never Dies enjoyable when I watch it (great pre-credits sequence!) but fairly forgettable afterwards. Goldeneye had a better story and better characters. Eric Serra's score has some beautiful pieces of work within it, but I hate the orchestral samples that he used in places, the tank chase for example. The end song sounds as if it was the intended end title for Leon, as it shares the same theme. If you recall, they used a Sting song "Shape of My Heart" for the Leon end credits. I've not seen this qualified anywhere.
For me, TWIME is the Brosnan James Bond film. It has another exciting opening sequence in the boat chase along the Thames. His relationship with Elecktra echoes that of his relationship with Tracey in OHMSS. I always thought that the writers had done that on purpose but I've never read anything to back that theory up.

For me Serra's score for Goldeneye is ruined because of a lack of use of the Bond theme during the film's action sequences.

By the way, whats TWIME Wayfarer?
