+1. We all knew what we were getting with another Craig entry. Like it or not it’s just the direction of his films. I’m down for one more emotional ride so long as the execution is there - that’s all that matters (and IMO what SP lacked). I would prefer the next era take a different direction though - we’ll have to wait and see.
There do seem to be several shots in the trailer with Bond appearing downbeat. That said, if this is indeed a longer Bond film we're bound be have some fun Craig/Bond bad ass moments. For the sake of variety, I just wish the trailer showed a few more moments of Craig's charm.
Best TV spot we’ve had and a welcome surprise, didn’t see them releasing this with the song. The cinematography looks excellent and the shots and angles look brilliant!! The shot when Bond walks in on a sleeping Madeline from the balcony with the sun behind him, classy !!
Song blends well with this teaser. I’m happier with the teaser than the song but it’s early days and I give more context to my comments in relation to the song in the relevant thread.
Hopefully we can rapidly move through the marketing gears now and really push on now. Exciting times ahead

I appreciate each and every one, good and not so good.
I know that we all have our own opinions and everyone is free to express them, however let’s just bask in the glow of a brand new 007 film and say goodbye and thank you to DC for all that he’s done for the franchise.
I always thought while no Tracy or Vesper, she was decent in SP, but NTTD looks like it’s definitely going to make her way more interesting.
But Craig is still James Bond.
He is part of an important part of the history (if Connery was the Golden Era then Craig, in most eyes, is the Silver).
And that may not be the way you see it or it may not be your cup of tea.
If this is not your shade, there are so many other Bond films to choose from to enjoy, so...--
Why waste your time in coming on a forum again and again and again to represent the "disappointed" of this era? We got it the first 3000 times. Why keep saying the same thing?
Hell, it didn't float your boat for 14-15 years. That sucks. Honestly...
I know a few fans who love the era and DETEST SPECTRE (looking at you @Shardlake !!!), but they accept the distaste they have for B24 and have moved on (it doesn't seem to taint the other films, nor the optimism of the new Bond film).
So honestly, to those uncomfortable or grouchy or angry about NTTD : can we just be happy that this is the last of this era (for fans and non-fans alike-- surely we share this in common???), it's DONE.
A few years from now a new Bond will be chosen. A new film will be gearing up. Your new era is coming. Why waste breath on something you've made very clearly (many times over, repeating the same things, many times over)? You hate Spectre? Fine! That was five years ago. A new film is here. Hopefully it'll be better in your eyes. But even if not, at the end of its run time, you will know that James Bond will be back in (hopefully), an era that you will approve of (but know it'll tick-off a large precent of other fans).
Can't win 'em all.
Interesting, my daughter’s reaction to the song was “ it was what Sam Smith was trying to do ; of the film it could be said, ‘ it was what Mendes was trying to do’.
It may be the inverse of CR and QoS.
I guess the people who don’t want emotion are the people who don’t like or have never read the Fleming books. The Bond of the books is much more of a real man than the one dimensional portrayal of the character in many of the earlier films. Personally, I prefer the former.
This! I hope we get to spend a bit of time with Madeline and Bond together to strengthen the relationship and to make whatever happens later more impactful
I meant to say, “I prefer the former.” :)
Sam Smith’s new single is coming out soon. Coincidence in terms of timing? :)
Yeah, @Bounine, that reminds me of an exchange of comments regarding MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Paraphrasing here.
A: Why is the Mad Max character being unusually emotional, very out of character. Why did the filmmakers (George Miller himself, really) do that? [He's supposed to be just a killer, a vigilante.]
B: Well, I like the Mad Max film where he was thoughtful, sensitive and emotionally introspective.
A: Which one was that?!?
B: The first one!
We like what we like. But really it's a staple of the Bond character he's confronted with emotion at times, and quickly resumes his mission. Not so complicated. And usually great storytelling.
I’d be surprised if Zimmer didn’t make a love theme with this tune. I miss the flute like Barry gave us in The Living Daylights.
Yeah my mistake. Adopted in ‘83 when he was 12 years old.
Yes the song reminds me of TWOTW in its low key approach. I am one of those who never minded Sam Smith's effort though.
I didn’t mind the low key approach and I thought the orchestration was beautiful, but the falsetto was grating and I don’t think was the right voice for a song that was seemingly written from Bond’s perspective.
Something we only really got catching up with Bond in the FRWL novel after he and Tiffany Case broke up. I’m actually really glad this is the route they’re taking with Madeleine, rather than just making her a Tracy 2.0 that has to be fridged.
+1.
Which also makes me think that the flashback sequence will be revealed later in the film.
I have the same feeling. It's basically confirmed, not just because of the spoilery lyrics, but from an emotional standpoint this songs is just designed to resonate with the emotions of the Matera finale, after the break up.
