Where have I said the trailer is great. I think it serves its purpose, but I have fears that it looks almost Brosnanish with the excessive action (but maybe you like Brosnan now...its hard to keep up with your drastic ever-changing opinions).

The trailer is growing on me though, the more I see it. Also, the blogs on the Bond website are interesting. The bike scene made me initially think of Bourne rip-off in the trailer, but after watching the blog, now I know it lands on the boat for the chase (with no CGI) this is going to be an awesome scene.

And I have never changed my mind about CR.....unlike some!!!

Bj, at least your opinions are solid, even if I don't agree with them.

This girl had a mad, wild, crazy witch on hunt on Thrice for daring to change his opinion, and his change of opinion was nothing as drastic as this.

11 TIMES at the cinema. That is how many times she watched CR. I only saw CR 3 times at the cinema. She also slagged off this website endlessly, when it was all cosy at MI6, she was Craig and CR's biggest fan....up until it all turned sour for her just a few months ago over at MI6.

Now, to fit in here, she suddenly, overnight, hates all things Craig, all things CR, and all things QOS. Hell, next I can imagine her saying she is now suddenly a massive fan of DAD (something she used to hate as much as me).

Let's face it....QOS will be bigger than CR!

I predicted CR would be bigger than DAD, and was laughed at by the skeptics at the time.....

We'll see. Now that a trailer is out, the marketing machine has finally kicked off and we'll see how big the hype will build up. It will be hard to top CR, but then again that's what I said about DAD before CR was released. We'll see, this is only the beginning.

I loathe the Craig with large machine gun image too. It seems to be an iconic image of Craig's Bond = how awful.

Did the final shot of Casino Royale resonate with people so much that that is now their image of Bond?

I'll stick to traditional image of Bond.

Any of y'all think that that big gun might be Bond um, compensating for a lack of a certain something? :P

Looks like more of the same but without an Ian Fleming book to crib from this time. That short bloke with the machine gun is not James Bond and never will be. No real Bond atmosphere to the teaser. It could easily have been the new Transporter trailer. Judi Dench is becoming a bit tiresome and that's a polite way of putting it. And yes, Eon have watched The Bourne Ultimatum. :roll:

This is more of a British Rambo/Bourne than a James Bond film.

I rather have Bond take a slice of Bourne than what they took in 1973.

Now that was more blatant than the Bourne influence. :lol:

That's not what Stocks was saying. He was talking about cinema influences/trends.

If you think CR was influenced by Bourne (d**n right, IMO) then you may as well lump Batman Begins in there too. The trend for action heroes these days is gritty realism, blood, and no CGI (Spielberg/Lucas you should be ashamed of yourselves with what you did with Indy 4).... :twisted:

What an uninspired trailer! Draggin the chair across the floor just like they are going to drag out the CR story line.

I sense more than a little Bourne envy. Bond gone rogue? oh noes! Vesper? Don't even care if she was buried.
This looks like a movie I can wait for cable on. FX or spike would be right up their ally.

Unfortunately for you, it looks like that could be a long way off. Craig is Bond, and QOS will be even bigger than CR was. There is no stopping the Daniel Craig juggernaught now!! :twisted:

Pride goes before destruction
I realize you picked that picture for your signature becasue you thinks it look goods :shock: Funny its the same one I'd pick to show what bond shouldn't look like.

QOS will do far less business than CR. Inflation might help you out a little. By November inflation will quadruple. The cost of heating the theater, cost of shipping the movies out, Cost of gas and the cost of food are not going to be Quantum Quark's friends.

Boring story setup. Boring dialogs. A few spazmatic snippets of what could be actions scenes or it could be Craig's aunt turning on the blender. Shot the way it is one can't tell.

This is not a good trailer. They did better for CR and those weren't that great.
This all the franchise need is mind numbed selfcongratulating yes bots clapping away no matter how bad it is just because it has the official stamp on it. Showing up to flame and bully anybody who has a different opinion of the crap being churned out.
Without honest criticism it will all go down in flames.

This is a regurgitated story and a mimic of other popular better done series.

Actually if you check other Bond websites, its not all back-slapping and congratulating fellow Craig fans, even on the likes of MI6. There are plenty who do not like the trailer, and there are people like myself who have alarm bells ringing with fears that we could be heading for more of the same crap we endured during the nightmare Brozza years.

Having said all that, QOS will be huge when it is released, whether you are a Craig fan or not. If you cannot see that happening, you really are in denial. I hated Indy 4 with a passion, but even I knew that was going to be huge. Its got nothing to do with whether you like the film or not.
