    These posters are terrible, there's nothing interesting about them at all.

    Looks a bit similar to Skyfall ,agent retires ,comes back physically diminished ,a bit of a dinosaur in the modern era.
    Looks like Bond going rogue in parts like Licence to Kill.
    Could be decent but all the set problems,rewrites point to issues.
    We will wait and see.

    I don't like the connectivity of Craig's films, it makes it hard to ignore the ones you don't like. Really not happy to see Blofeld back

    I'd avoid that ad, shows most of the set pieces and pretty much confirms the rumours.

    "The world has moved on...." etc etc

    Just thinking the same thing actually. Enjoyed CR, QoS was a bit drab but at least tied in to CR. I dunno what they were at with Skyfall in terms of connectivity. Spectre was all the bad bits of Skyfall amped up!

    Yep, Craig's films seem to be divided into two parts, CR and QOS (QOS being relatively easy to ignore as the following films have done their best to do so) followed by Skyfall, Spectre and now this. CR and QoS were run of the mill Bond on a mission films with Bond going on an narrative arc along the way whereas the latter three Bond's backstory has been an integral part of the actual plot and they seem manufactures to facilitate an emotional arc.

    The funny thing is though Skyfall would've worked if it was a latter entry in Craig's outings, but he's supposed to be old hat in it after being the new gun in CR. So the only gap between them is QoS.

    I've grown a bit tired of him as Bond, as he has.

    The fact that he is meant to be an old hat also has little to no impact on the plot except to better serve the comparison between him and Silva. How much time do they spend on his psych evaluations and fitness and all we get is a tiny moment when he struggles to hold onto the bottom of a lift. The whole thing of MI6 thinking he's dead is pretty pointless.

    Some of those visuals in the Evil Lair are pretty striking, though I wonder are they going back to the same well where, yet again, the antagonist from the last film isn't the "real" villain after all.

    God, those Craig ones are so po-faced and self conscious serious. No fun at all. And the old guy with freckles look has no panache, elan, no class.

    Like second rate Jason Bourne clones

    All I can say is it looks like a Daniel Craig Bond movie.

    Like any series, they've been hit and miss, so I'm just hoping it's more Casino Royale and less QoS.

    Excited to see it regardless. It's Bond no matter what.

    Yeah ,I'm not a fan of Craigs portrayal of Bond,far too serious ,and trying too hard.Its not convincing .
    He was much more natural and convincing in Layer Cake and other films .

    Would have been far better if Clive Owen has got the job.
    The whole Craig Bond is awful, woeful acting and woeful villains.

    Despite there being 25 entries in the franchise, at least the Craig run has shown us that Bond is better suited to an Adventure of the Week style of writing, rather than everything being connected. In fact so many movies/tv shows have to have everything connected, so it would be refreshing if the team behind Bond took advantage of being a bit more loose with connecting dots.

    Gotta say it looks good. Do enjoy a good Bond film. Hopefully Craig goes out with a good one.

    Craig looking craggy.

    A lot of action to put out in a trailer - almost never a good sign.

    Villain from the last movie back (Blofeld) as well as obviously the prior love interest... not so sure about this.

    Will the double minority 00 agent angle work?

    Looks almost like a skyfall reboot. If so that might be its saving grace.

    God no. I don't mind Clive Owen in some stuff, but he's as wooden as a plank for the most part. Not the one to channel a bit of ol' Roger Moore into the role...

    I must have missed the wokeness in that trailer. Did some of the women have speaking roles?
