I feel the same, but I get a special feeling at the very short clips of the action scenes later in the trailer. Seeing Colin Firth kick ass and kill people in such a stylish manner might be worth the price of admission.
Seriously just focus on the second half of the trailer, all the cool jumping and spinning and neat tricks they seem to be pulling off. Worth. It.
I feel the same about it. I was excited to see what came up from this but honestly it didn't impress me in the least.
I probably will see the movie.
Plus it's Matthew Vaughan and the bloke who wrote Kick Ass, and it has a great cast. It's also cool to see some gadgets after over 10 years of not having any in the Bond films. Yeah, I think this looks pretty good. Might go and see this.
The comics mix Roger Moore's James Bond and ultra-violence, so to say the least I didn't feel I wasted my time. It's also very short, so the loss of momentum in the end is no big deal.
It's good fun. If the movie's anywhere near faithful, it'll feature Mark Hamill and Brozzer. Can't see that happening, but I live in hope. Trailer looks nowhere near as charming as the comics to me. Nowhere near Millar's best work, but the best bits are certainly omitted from the trailer. For the record I think the casting is slack.
At least they used Yusef's apartment room wallpaper in the beginning of the trailer.
I have spend my dough on the first two Richard Stark "Parker" novels instead.

Wasn't planning on seeing it anyway.
Could someone direct me to the Bond film where Bond cries in the shower? I must've missed that one.
I believe that one was Wave-Link. :P
*facepalm*
*Apparently Firth isn't at all like you'd expect and is a real badass. He trained hard for the film and there are some amazing action sequences with him, the people doing the interview said the bit they saw almost made them wish he'd been cast as Bond
*There will be swearing and lots of violence
*The tone is close to Kick Ass so it's funny but it's not a full on comedy. They said that this film is to spy films what Kick Ass is to superhero flicks
*Apparently the only thing it really takes from the comic is the basic story (haven't read the comic but I remember in the Youtube comments on the trailer quite a few people said it was crap so I guess this is good)
*Samuel Jackson is the villain (I think called Valentine? Can't remember) and he has a big evil plan. There's more to the plot than the spy school stuff we saw in the trailer
*Matthew Vaughn said he was inspired by the story of Terrance Young taking Sean Connery and turning him into Bond (making him sleep in the suit, etc)
*Matthew Vaughn also said that he was in serious talks to direct CR and at one point was certain he got the job but in the end they got Campbell back instead. He says he was disappointed.
*The film is meant to kickstart a franchise. Vaughn compared it to what Spielberg did, they didn't let him make a Bond film so he went off and made Indiana Jones. They didn't let Vaughn direct Bond so he went and did The Secret Service.
*Apparently it's an old fashioned, 60s/70s Bond film but modernised. They said there was plenty of wit, gadgets, etc.
*It's a love letter to spy movies. As well as the obvious Bond influence there are nods to 24, Harry Palmer and The Man From Uncle
Trailer didn't blow me away but after reading that article/interview I really can't wait for this. Probably my most anticipated film right now. I'm definetely going to see it at the cinema
He's been a good guy way more often than a bad guy, he's not like Mark Strong who seems to have become Hollywoods go to guy for bad guy roles. The only recent instance I can think of where Sam was a villain was Django. And did none of the other stuff I posted make you excited for the film?
Swearing, violence, amazing action sequences, old-fashioned-yet-modernized Bond film, and a love letter to spy films all have me interested. The trailer did nothing for me, though. I think I'll go rewatch it again.
EDIT: Rewatched it, just doesn't do it for me. I'll catch it on Redbox probably. It's funny because a lot of it has 'Bond' stamped all over it, but I don't like it: people with metal limbs, tons of gadgets, etc., but there's something about it I don't like. I'd say the only shot that really impresses me is that ascending wall jumping at the end of the trailer.

Look like this going to be like Batman Begins style. Paul Kirby work as Art directer of Batman Begins work as production designer on this movie. He also did some Art department work on GE, TMND and DAD.
Mabey this will be Matthew Vaughn first Dutch cinema succes for him, X-men First Class flops. Fox again not have trust in the movie and let Warner releasing this movie.
