I liked them. And wouldn't it be cool if these became a part of the new Bond formula?

Can we stop giving the people who are still in nervous shock as they didn't like the film something to hang their hats on? Let them stick with "editing", "too much action" and "Bourne" as their way of damning QUANTUM OF SOLACE. The peasants have been given rare cognac and they think it tastes like bad cider. Let them find their cider and we'll sip the cognac in the private members bar.

Um, as much as I agree wth you on that, I also have to say that if their target of the latest round of character assassination is something so arbitrar, superficial and unrelated to anythig else in the film as the location title cards, I'd say this bandwagon is falling apart faster than the people riding it can keep up with.

Yes, we didn't like the title cards, therefore we didn't like the whole film.

You couldn't make it up.

I liked them.

They're magnificent and original, at least for a Bond film.

I thought they were positively brilliant. I traditionally hate legends of any kind but these were exceptional. They carried or reinforced the flavor of each international setting and were beautifully integrated into the visual composition of each scene. Truth be told, this was one of my favorite design elements of the film.

I want to see this style continued in future films.

I saw the movie for the first time tonight, and have to convey a weird opinion:

1. I loved the fonts used for the titles. Every time we visited a new location, my font-loving nature wanted to pause the movie to examine the face, the kerning, etc.

2. I hated the fact that they were in the movie, because I found them obtrusive, breaking my WSoD. And the tone and usage seemed more appropriate to a 60s pastiche (like the older, but not oldest, version of Casino Royale).

So perhaps what I'm saying is that I'd love to see them in a movie where they felt more appropriate.

I loved them and thought they we're quite literary.

I wouldn't mind that. Still a better contribution of MK12 to the Bond world than that bad title sequence.

The moment I saw 'Sienna, Italy' I cringed.

Absolutely hated them They were distracting and just ugly.
