His score for Casino Royale proves to be noticeably different from his previous scores, especially Die Another Day. I didn’t think I could ever be so engrossed by watching people play cards.Ĭoming over from the Brosnan years was David Arnold. Casino Royale is probably my favorite James Bond movie.
Pierce Brosnan’s suave character was replaced with a more hard-edged and less quippy performance by Daniel Craig. Martin Campbell, director of the well-loved Goldeneye, came on to create this more realistic take on 007. After numerous complaints from James Bond fans regarding Die Another Day, the producers spent a couple extra years on the next film, ultimately deciding to go with a reboot that toned down the camp elements.
