    So something like what Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol managed?

    No. GP was, in my humble opinion, a pile of steaming cow dung. I despise the MI franchise - it is horrendous, boring, cynical rubbish.

    Sam, it can't happen soon enough for me brother. I am definitely highly jealous that I wasn't there to see it myself.

    I have a 46" Sony Bravia and a soundbar, which is a wonderful alternative to a surround sound system and far less wiring. I'll bet it looked awesome. Lucky you.

    As far as humor, I'm ready for some. While I appreciated the humor there was in QOS, I'd rather see SkyFall return more to some of the playful character interactions we got in CR and some Connery/Moore type one liners. I think the movie will be serious enough otherwise and I am very optimistic that this movie could be one of the finest in the entire series based on what little I have seen and read.

    Are you trying to provoke a kicking from the anti-humour brigade? I'd be careful what you say round here. Careless talk costs lives!

    (slapping myself)- Don't know what I was thinking. Time for retraining ;)

    Will he be showing extensive, never ending clips of MR and DAD as an examples of what Bond movies shouldn't be? If so, I'll have to smuggle some forks in. Will probably look somewhat like Rudy Schenker on the cover of the Scorpions' "Blackout" . :D

    P.S- There he goes with yet another obscure 80's reference again.

    So much discussion about too much humour, too little humour! I thought this was the teaser trailer discussion!?

    well, one comment on the trailer : At some moments, the rather slow fade-out-to-black-fade-in-the-next-scene effect is almost half of what we see. I thought it was a sign they wanted to something classy and very far away from QoS, etc.. Well, it turns out that nowadays 80% of trailers (and not just teaser trailers) use that effect - from Snow White to Lincoln to Ted to Red Tails etc, etc !

    Fair enough. I don't claim that they are without humour, but would beg to differ. IMO, good solid films that they are, they do not provide the fully satisfying full-fat burger and cheese of action and humour that I expect from a proper Bond movie. I believe DC is on record saying pretty much the same thing.

    That's exactly what I don't want but won't be surprised if this is what we get (and I for one have never suggested that Skyfall will be in line with the Roger Moore style comedy. I'd be surprised if it was). I've always wanted a few films with one actor playing Bond, in this case Craig, that are in the vein of the darker, wonderful Fleming books, hence this is why I'll be disappointed ( which could very well be the case) if SF has more humour and light heartedness than Casino Royale. They will have departed from the Flemingsque trend that CR began and QOS continued. I enjoy the later, lighthearted Connery flicks, as I do all the Bond flicks excluding the Brosnan ones, for different reasons, but I don't want to see Bond films in the vein of the former until Craig leaves the franchise. We've just had so much comedy and fun throughout the series. Most of the Bond films are like this. Why not have a few darker films for once? I guess some people just want each new film to be a near carbon copy of most of the movies in the Bond franchise.

    I don't believe they - point blank - did. It will have funny lines but so did the past two films.

    I feel it will be a little more in line with Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace than people care to admit.

    It'd be cool if you're right. I hope the action to dialogue ratioo in SF won't be higher than it is in CR either. A little less action would be nice, as I always prattle on about, but that's too much to hope for in a contemporary Bond film.

    One liners in the Craig films are passable, as long as they're not uttered just after Bond has killed someone for example or during actions scenes. I wouldn't like this at all I but I'm expecting the worst.

    Fair enough. I suspect what we're both looking for is not as extremely different as you're trying make out, but I appreciate your point. That said, carbon copies are definitely not what I'm about.

    QOS was satisfying on a dramatic and cinematic level? That must be one of the worst films films I have ever seen in my entire life. It was like watching the rushes of a Charles Bronson Golan-Globus film. I can't recall one amusing moment or funny line in any of the Craig films so far.

    Don't base arguments on opinions. Please detail what you didn't like, perhaps the cinematography, writing, actors, etc so that we have something to base a discussion on. :)

    “Comedy in Bond films, for me, comes out of the situations people get into. They're exciting, and hopefully heart-stopping, and the comedy comes out of one-liners and things. When Sam [Mendes] came in, it was key for all of us that there's a lightness of touch in the writing that's not been as evident in the past two.”-Daniel Craig.

    Somebody on here told me the producers said something about it too but I'm not sure what exactly they said.

    As long as the humour is like

    " that last hand, nearly killed me"

    I'm fine with a bit more in SF, the humour needs to suit Craig's Bond, I love that bit at the end of the trailer when he says "There are some men coming to kill us, we're going to kill them first" and that cruel smile and raised eyebrow.

    I see some potential for some great verbal sparring between Bond & Silva and as DC007 said between Bond & Wishaw's Q. It's great they are keeping him under wraps, though I think we'll get a sneak of him in the theatrical trailer.

    Best to not pay any attention to this guy O'Brady. 14 posts and almost every one is a complaint about Craig. He's a humorless troll and likely a charter member of the CNB club. Probably thinks winking pigeons and cheesy one-liners are funny then.

    Yes, I've read his posts. He is the kind that will bring up his hatred randomly, instead of when it is allotted.

    Lots of trolls abound lately. It's quite disgusting.

    Back to the teaser trailer discussion, I will say there is one thing I don't like about it: the end. Just the resting, slightly-zoomed in shot of his face, then the score ends, and '007' is on the screen. The finale of it didn't work well for me. Kind of a downer to such an exciting teaser. Aside from that, though, I loved it. Must have seen it over 20 or so times.

    Excuse me? I am so sick of these new members that keeping flowing in with more ignorance than distinguished etiquette and an enthusiasm to post. I have no idea who you are @chrisgreethamhaislet, or what I did to make you revert to the insults of a 5 year old, unpotty trained preschooler, but I suggest checking your attitude at the door. I have had enough of your kind and will take action against it.

    He probably has another account, or another member that was warned or banned before. Definitely a troller.

    The MOD's should check his IP address. This has happened on here before.
