movie title sequences

All of these movie title sequences were excellent choices.  Of them my favorites were Catch Me If You Can, Spiderman 2 and Casino Royale.  

Why they are my favorites:

Catch Me If You Can
I really like how the letters extend and create different doors and lights and other elements.  I also like how the people move in and out of the typography.  The music is great.  Very "try and find me" kind of vibe.  I really like the simple 2-D graphics used.  Also in this, a limited color palette helped.  The transitions in this piece were absolutely magnificent.  Very nicely put together.

Spiderman 2
I really like the use of the old-school comic book in this one...it is only fitting!  The transitions are nice, even when it goes from the 2-D graphic novel style to the more modern 3-D appearance.  I really thought they did a nice job with the characters and including photos, but still kept that sketched feel.  The introduction of names and characters was simple, but with everything else being so bold around them it ended up working out very well.

Casino Royale
This movie title sequence is just awesome.  I love when the gun shoots and the people being shot transition into one of the suits of cards and fall to the ground.  It is so interesting and visually entertaining.  I love the transitions with bullets and pieces falling and the movement this piece creates.
