11. The Title Song Is One Of The Series' Worst

Perhaps the most damning criticism of Jack White and Alicia Keys' title track "Another Way to Die" is that it's so easily forgettable.

Though it was intriguing to see the series gets its first duet title song, the pair's undeniable talents were thoroughly squandered on a bland, flat and weirdly soulless offering.

More than anything, it just doesn't feel like a Bond song. Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" didn't either, but it had a vibrancy and energy to it, whereas this tune just feels lethargic, low-effort and not at all worthy of the franchise.

A lot of people rag on Madonna's "Die Another Day" as the worst-ever Bond theme - and with good reason - but at least it's somewhat catchy and has a palpable rhythm. This? Not so much. It's all the more disappointing as the title sequence itself is actually pretty neat.
