However, responses were mixed by the end product. Some celebrated the updated, unique take on the Bond theme whilst others felt it just didn't work. What's everyone's thoughts? Does it stand proud next to the Goldfingers and Live & Let Dies? Analyse this~

Whilst different, more sassy pop than anythin, and not focusing on power ballad styles or ballad vocals or anythin like that, it was even MORE suited to Bond as it was so exciting and fresh and dramatic. I think it is one of the best themes foe it!

Perhaps it's more Bond fans that have a problem with it than Madonna fans. I personally love it. Those opening strings are really sinister and send shivers down my back when I'm listening through headphones which is surely very Bondian?
