I actually enjoyed it! The opening sequence was ok though. Casino Royales Opening really set the tone of the film. This wasn’t as worthy but it was still amazing.

Shame that people seem to be so cynical. I just appreciated seeing something a bit different, and i think they helped set the scene.

Film was disappointing though, I have got to agree on that one.

That said I did enjoy it, just not as much as I’d hoped.

I liked Talmone and the french typeface. Original. The london one looked like the typeface for braveheart and I don’t know I have seen enough of that style, but it comes off as uk.

I like the work, and the original hand lettering, I wish more was done of this sort today for films and design.

I would recommend the film Sean, the Bond films are definitely not how they used to be, but QOS is entertaining all the same.

Im always a fan of bringing to attention design to the broad masses. With that, I feel like the titles throughout are not groundbreaking but do make an impression and a refreshing change. As for the opening not the best but not the worst, yet much kudos to MK12 for the overall interface designs. As for the film I’d rent casino royal on saturday and see QOS on Sunday to enjoy it to its fullest. Its a bond film, they are like Ice Cream theres flavors you like more than others but at the end you smile and say I just had Ice cream.

yep clichéd, but the whole bond phenomenon is a cliché
which is meant in a good way, so yes these titles work well
i haven’t seen the film yet but everyone tells me it’s pants…

I remember thinking at the time how nice it was to see someone making an effort with those scene splicers but now seeing them on their own they do feel a little clichéd, you’re right. Glad to see Tomato doing something usable though, I completely lost track of them after Mmm… Skyscraper, I Love You. Big faves of mine at uni.
