After 10 days the counter for the comic-con "Suicide Squad trailer stands at a whopping 39 Million (39.405.279)
The first full trailer of "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" is settling down at 8 Million (8.349.232) viewings. The first full trailer of "The Man From UNCLE" currently has 4 Million viewers (4.289.681)
The highly popular teaser trailer for "SPECTRE" currently stands at 7 Million (7.494.808) viewings.
And so far yesterday's release of "SPECTRE"s full theatrical trailer stands at a massive -almost- 5 Million viewers (4.922.961). Let's see if it nears the number of viewers in 10 days from now ;-). Perhaps it can catch up with some DC Comics trailers ;-).
But obviously, the current record-holder "Star Wars 7" will not be overtaken. The 2nd teaser trailer now has 57 Million viewers (57.068.648 !!)
He says it's a "very good hybrid of the typical Bond film with the realistic, gritty one"
Bond films are flashy b movies?? Bond invented the Blockbuster!
They pretend to be 'filmexperts' but they're absolutely not.
Southern, down by West Palm Beach.
This is what gets me. If you're an aficionado of a particular franchise or set of films, fine. Either that, or you're a Mark Kermode type and have a very thorough understanding of film history. Most of these videos have literally no insight and just state the blindingly obvious. Not only that, but a lot disregard Bond history or at worst promote a sketchy potted history built on their own memories and opinions. Flashy B-Movies, seriously? Even if you don't like Calvin Dyson, or his opinions, like most of us here the guy has a thorough knowledge of the Bond universe which validates his opinion for me. Most of these other casuals have nothing better to offer than the man on the street.
Revelation for me: Ms. Seydoux. She looks quite stunning in the brief clips we see of her, and it's good to see predatory Bond again going after the ladies.
Craig is aging nicely. He's got more lines in his face, but is looking more Bondian for it and classier than ever.
Harris' MP is still a sore spot for me, but I'll live with it.
This could be the most epic Bond since MR. The alleged $300m budget looks to be all up there on the screen.
You know what, it is something I thought after the last few trailers. I was hoping for a few lush greens in there and just a general sense of contrast after the relatively washed out tone of QoS and particularly SF.
This is the most excited I have ever been in my life for a Bond film. Before I saw this trailer I was very apprehensive about the tone/direction they would take it, those worries have well and truly been put to rest. Every aspect of this film looks top notch, I love they are bringing back that epic feel, the comedic nods and yet aren't betraying the Craig era of continuity. Any of the characters from this film would look just as at home in CR or SF. The only other time the Bond films have been able to successfully wed the utterly bonkers with grounded drama is IMO with OHMSS. It's an incredibly difficult thing to get right (hence my worries) and they seem to have nailed it with this film.
My absolute favorite aspect, the thing I am most excited by, is Hinx. We have had some great villains in the Craig era, great Bond girls, Bond allies but to my mind we have yet to see a proper henchman. This guy looks so badass! A henchman in the classic mould that is given the proper treatment (definitely not being played for laughs, phew). His gimmick seems to be that double barreled pistol which is SO COOL! Again so much more realistic that metal teeth or a bowler hat, but still something different. Looks like You'd have to be pretty strong to fire one, it's basically a mini shotgun. Anyway I can't wait to see Bond vs Hinx on a train (HA HA, like snakes on a plane, Hinx on a train!).
My final thought is on duration. I'm guessing, with such a complex story and so many characters and locations, this film has got to break the 150 minutes mark. If not then it will be held as the prime example of narrative economy because I can't see it's even possible to wrap everything up in under 2hrs 30 min. There's just so much going on in the trailer, and there will be lots more surprises waiting for us. THANK YOU EON!! :x
It´s not like Drax and Jaws wore especially colorful clothes, but the film as a whole was full of colorful Frames, as was every Bond film before SF. Mendes cleary doesn´t like that too much, as most of his films show, not just his Bond films. Which is one reason for me not to be overly fond of Mendes´ work.
Elvis! You forget Elvis! Surely the most memorable henchman in all of Bond! His immortally famous line "How much longer?" will be remembered for generations
It looks/sounds great. Thank you, much appreciated.
The lack of henchmen in the Craig films is one reason I'm so excited about Hinx.
If so...
Elvis made me long for the days of Mr. Kil.
IMO The Craig has had some of the best written and actor female characters. Hasn't really been a focus on henchmen though. Elvis I think was just meant to be a weird factor.. C'mon even Green had to correct Elvis's gun pose.
And he was bald...and gay, as evidenced in the Tosca scene.
