Best Bond Title Sequence EVER. This made the hairs at the back of my neck stand up, soon as it started. Just out and out mayhem, the incredibly annoying cheesecake put aside, & pulpy murder and bloodshed, set to the tune of Chris Cornell. Nobody was asking for this, and it was too good to be true. Casino Royale was actually the first time the franchise became legitimate spy fi, and it's this title sequence which totally made that. Still think I dreamed that movie.

Definitely high on our list, it's just the matter of working with MK12 on the piece. Hopefully this year.

Is there a similar breakdown, with video, of Quantum of Solace's opening?
This Bond intro is easily my all-time favorite, an inspiration for subtle designs/motifs for web design, a killer song (that my four-year old loves), and a nice break from the girl silhouettes that have become old after a while.
The allusion back to the Fleming novels was a good move.

The inspiration for DK’s title sequence was the original cover art for the Casino Royale novel. It’s retro and underscores the point that the producers, writers and the director we going back to Bond’s roots: Ian Fleming.

I thought it was novel and an inspired approach. DK thought that he had pretty much done all there was to do with the previous title sequences.

This is by far my favorite title sequence. The marriage of the music and graphics and the overall pace are just perfect, and I like the blend of retro and modern design on that one. Only thing I would not have done is to mix real pictures with the animated ones, I would have just stuck with the animated ones but the producers have probably insisted to show us the actors (at least Craig) to make sure we would register his face. Great, great sequence.

The title sequence for Royale is, well, uh, “royal”. It’s very good and along with the new direction of Bond, James Bond, it was a very nice change from the usually “gorgeous” sequences for most of the previous Bonds. I’ve now seen it and the film enough times that I can’t imagine the film without it. It sets a tone (which a good title opener should usually). Nice work- thanks!

I’m really surprised that the “Quantum of Solace” titles haven’t shown up on this site yet; the DVD’s been out for a month, and I think those titles are a fantastic piece of work from MK12!

If you look at the film title sequence for “Casino Royale” more closely you will find several things that have changed, for example Kleinman didn’t use the usual ladies in bikini’s, which in my opinion has brought the credits for bond into the 21st century.
