I agree with Samuel. All a bit meh the gadget stuff. Doesn't need to be there.
Perhaps not for this era of movies, but looks like they may ramp up the gadgets here and make a more traditional Bond film. Like it or not, I always thought that gadgets are one of the signatures of Bond movies. Starting with the briefcase in FRWL, breather in TB, to the tricked out BMW. It sure got me intrigued as a boy
I love the gadgets, they're just harder to do these days because everybody has 'gadgets', they're completely ubiquitous. Wouldn't mind his watch doing something cool, but not sure about the car, I can take it or leave it, seems a bit out of place.
Those are probably the same people that think that Die Another Day is the best of the Bond films.
Here's the full theatrical trailer of "Skyfall", released July 31st 2012:
And then compare it with the full theatrical trailer of "SPECTRE", released today:
I tend to disagree. I find the full trailer of SP like a perfectly edited little film. It basically is edited in the film's chronological order. Just like SF. Perhaps even better than SF. The SF-trailer simply puts all action in an a-chronological order near the end of the trailer, highlighted by the pumping climatic music. With the SP-trailer it seems slightly more coherent.
Also, I think the nature of SP makes the trailer how it is. With that I mean: SF was a very sobre film, less action-heavy, less extra's, more focused on character development, thus basically a character-driven spy thriller. Now I can't say if SP will have less of that, but I do see that SP in its essence is way more 'typical Bond-ian'. In a good way. It has more clearly identifiable action sequences. It already has better one-liners that really work well ("Ooowh, I'm just taking some overdue holidays"). It has bigger sets. It has a more cut-out, laid-out mission. The villain and its organization are much bigger. Oberhauser is not like Silva....acting alone. It has way more extra's.
So editing that all together in a chronological way works very well, but it just looks different from the SF-trailer. It doesn't necessarily mean that the editing style of the trailer is crowd-pleasing. I think all the creative choices from screenplay writers and the director made SP simply a more clearly identifiable Bond film......so far ;-)
Point taken.
I don't think they'll overdo it. They don't go for exploding pens anymore.
Gadget cars though, not everyone has one of those :) I've loved every gadget car chase in the series, yes DAD included. They are a lot of fun
The ones I'm watching say HD but they look SD.
Nm found it
If you're talking about the same Blu-ray quality as I did the first teaser from March....it's coming - when I get my hands on the version sent to cinemas.

The wait for November 7th just got even longer :(
I liked how they show a lot, yet gave nothing away. I'm also intriqued by the unauthorized Mexico City mission.
Lastly, this You Tube comment shares my sentiment on the trailer.

Stop! My penis can only be so erect!
I had just woken up !
Appreciating a classic piece of music and having it used contemporarily isn't the same as wanting entire movies to be remade. Dont confuse the two.
Would certainly make me a very happy man! I'm imagining the feels right now ........
No, I really don't think that is a good idea at all.
