Those pictures also might get Craig thinking, what he is doing wrong!
By the way, has anyone noticed that Tom Cruise will next do a MI6 movie? The clever bastard.

But tbh it was never about villains in MI series, I enjoy the team work (or Ethan's work) and the cool gadgets,action etc.
It wouldn't be bad to have a blockbuster villain tho.
I found the main villain in GP rather to my liking, different from the over the top kind that can usually be found in the 007 franchise. He did something he believed in and Ethan & Co did their best to stop him. In the direct confrontation I found him more believable than anything the last two Bond movies had to offer.
That is were we differ, like the people that were a threat for his wife & marriage I accepted the them for a scary bunch that they were thought of in the movie.
I did not have to know the weakness of a villain to know he is scary, this academic character was set in his mind in that he was willing to make a point by killing millions of people because it was the right thing to do in order to safe the world. Madmen like them are difficult to understand like those looneys from ISIS, they are scary and need to be stopped by somebody. And in this case Ethan and his friends did that job outside of the system. They fought an idea through idealism/fanaticism which is the worst kind of villain IMHO.
Don't be such a snob. Wait and see how he does in the film, judge on his performance. Don't complain and write him off just because he's not some big Hollywood Oscar nominated A lister.
That makes me think of Daniel Craig as well. I think Craig could very well be following Connery's and Moore's footsteps, by actually doing 6 or 7 Bond films.
In the mean also Stella Stocker is at to imdb list, she the girl who whas seen earlier on picture with Cruise. Also a scotish actor Mingus Johnston is at to list.
Step your damn game up!!!
Cruise and his MI movies are beating your ass like a government mule in the stunts department!
Cruise looks to have outdone himself!!
Very much inspired by the FYEO-helicopter stunt during the PTS ;-). I admit that it looks wun-der-ful. And I'm quite a fan of "M:I - Ghost Protocol". But hey man, I'm foremost a Bond fan. So Bond will be BETTER. Especially the overall movie ;-).
And most importantly....let's see how these wun-der-ful stunts fit into the plot and the screenplay shall we ;-)? I saw also wunderful stunts in "Fast & Furious 6".
I'm sure Bond will blow MI out of the window though (box office & quality). They did it with CR vs. Mi3 in 2006 & again with Mi4 vs SF in 2012. They only lost out during the TWINE/DAD era when Mi2 cleaned up at the box office.
The real frustrating element about your comments is the complete lack of critical distance. To you just about everything Mendes/Craig/EON are doing is so super Duper it is mind-boggling. This coupled with the absolute self assuredness of so many of your posts makes them, how shall I put it, very very "special".
Time to give it a rest.

WOW He is one crazy mo-fo...
Respect for him
Thanks for the pics @doubleoego. Looks brilliant. Not Cruise's biggest fan but he is great in these films and he's always good at stunts. This looks really impressive. I thought the stunts in Skyfall were pretty poor compared to MI4, so I really hope that this time Bond is on par and we get stunts this great in Bond 24.
However, with Mendes & Craig, I'm pretty sure we'll get an ace Bond 24. They've just upped their game a little since the 90's when Mi was cleaning up.
Mi is much more action focused anyway. It's also more American in style (despite exotic locations). Bond has gone back to being more exotic in style since Craig took over and also more spy/espionage like. So they are not direct apples to apples comparisons any more. In the 90's they were making Bond more action oriented (and more American/less exotic in style) and I contend that they lost all direct battles with other spy/action movies in that era as a result.
I'm not sure if I'm being clear because it's difficult to explain....but I don't really see them as direct competitors stylistically.
One thing I'm sure of given recent experience: Mi will have the better action, and Bond will have the better atmosphere. Bond will also make its limited action sequences count (a sort of 'less is more' that has taken over since Craig came on) while Mi will go for broke as it always does (and as can be seen from these photos of Cruise).
And the other thing for sure - they'll both be cracking movies. Can't wait for Nov/Dec 2015!
Man, be a happy passionate Bond fan like I am. And if that passion, that happiness irritates you? Than....take a hike. We don't get along very well. So let's leave it there ok? Peace.
