A rather messy documentary. There is too much jumping on the branch. I don't understand why there is no chronological order. In addition, there was a lot of attention for the music of the latest Bond film No time to Die.
Positive about the documentary are a few nice old interview fragments with John Barry, explanations of how the Bondhema has been used over the years and what the Bondsound actually is. Unfortunately, the explanation is often a bit superficial and short. It still largely remains with sharing (usually known) anecdotes.
Not a punishment to watch, but a missed opportunity.
2.0*

Very entertaining, albeit somewhat messy and rambling documentary about the music in the James Bond films. Most attention is paid to the controversial title songs, but the scores of composers John Barry and David Arnold are also discussed. I do miss some artists here and there (where are A-ha, Chris Cornell and Madonna, for example?) and as far as I'm concerned, too much attention is paid to the claptrap of Billie Eilish and her annoying musical partner. Apart from that a feast of recognition, with many nice anecdotes.
