As hope though, I'm pretty confident Bond's role will be a lot more mature in B23. QOS brought closure to the solace/interpersonal struggle dealing with the death of Vesper. So I think that chapter is over and we're going to see a return to the swaggering Bond from yesteryear.
There needs to be a balance between old and new, nostalgia and progressivism...we have to take as much as we can get (as much as I'd love to see a return to the old style office/maniacal villain, etc..let's face it, it ain't gonna happen). But getting back to the 'spirit' of original Bond I think would be a step in the right direction.
Judi's M retires rather than being forced to step down while Bond is cut off investigating in South Africa...Q branch gives DC is first real gadget when Bond comes back to the office there is Moneypenny and a new M.....
for Quantum i want a counsel each running there own sphere or sector of the world or industry that way we could have several "blofelds" popping up when we (bond/mi6) thought they had cut off the head of the snake.
Lots more spying and toilet/stairway locked non shaky cam up close and personal fights and maybe a sniper duel! Would love to see DC pull out a huge caliber revolver and take out a Q agent wearing body armour that was stopping his 9mm. If its India maybe a Welby .455 for an imperial british feel! :)
But - I think it is more than worth including, for e.g. even for the mistreating and broking the international law by Americans (killing unarmed person, without court, when was more than opportunity to catch him surrendered alive). It may look like science-fiction, but USA is one of rare(if not the only) civilised countries that even not respect International Tribunal of Justice(for e.g. this means they may not give out war murders from they army), or many treats (like using land mines)
Funny or not - but the only thing what was he searched for was Kenya, and murdering of civilians there (ok, embassy fighting are just usual anti-government forces war), no evidence that he even planned 11th attacks.
And now for making unusual neutral wage we could include Breivik case - why for the heck the special forces of so great country needed 90 minutes?! Including that may kill the islam only attacks myth into the black hole from pop culture. You can make two things of these even in opening sequence or short mentioned.
The Bond was always something like a sign of the times - we had CCCP agents, terrorist villains changing in the time - maybe without names, but everyone known what was KGB. Even the films started with possible Japan fanatic related terrorist in nuclear threat times - Dr. No.
And the space was no limit in the so called space enthusiast era. There North Korea problem even in last decade, with "phone hacking" and media influence scandals in 90s. Not saying about start of drugs wars , Afghanistan(by Russian invasion), or even fall of the CCCP in Goldeneye.
Bond was dealing with fundamentalists of Arabic origin - not only to mention the Living Daylights, but also there was a scene with end of some girl rescued by him.
Slower paced scenes that intertwine with the location. Sneaking around and spying. Checking the hotel room for "bugs." Moneypenny and Q (but downplayed).
I can only hope.
I think this movie is going to be the key in re-establishing the traditional format of a Bond film while redefining Bond's image into the Bond we will see for the rest of the Daniel Craig's tenure and beyond. I think they will bring back many of the iconic Bond mannerisms and actions, but also try to establish this newer, more realistic, more believable Bond. Some of the things Craig has said in the past few months have hinted that they will bring back a lot of the traditional Bond, but he has also talked many times about how he likes the new direction the series is going by bringing in directors like Sam Mendes and having the courage to not follow the status quo all the time.
With all that being said, the main things I want to see brought back have more to do with the scenes and the format of the movie rather than Craig's Bond character (because I think his portrayal has the most depth by being both physically and emotionally vulnerable at times. Which I like). I would like to see the return of the gun barrel scene at the opening and the return of Moneypenny (I can actually do without Q because I think movies like DAD suffered from trying to make Q and the gadgets more important than they really are, and I think the Craig films have done a good job so far of telling believable yet still interesting stories and I think that would be jeopardized by bringing a bunch of gadgets back in). I would also like to see some of the minor things that others have already mentioned like an extended hotel room scene, military involvement, Bond actually killing the main villain, better henchman, and more showcasing of the exotic locations.
Nah. Not like that :p
Like tossing things like keys, cellphones and hardhats aside like he just don't care. It should remain his trademark in the movies.
I like the action bits, a bit of fists and blood and things, we've moved on now from the Moore campness of the 70/80s, and Bond has to fit in with the modern times
a bit more of a pre credits teaser, and it is imperative they find someone for the said credit sequence who can actually sing or has an ounce of talent within them
I really liked Chris Cornells 'you know my name', it was simple, catchy and one of my favorite intros, QOS was a disaster in comparison ~X(
as long as the next movie is plausible enough, nothing too outrageous and keeps the audience interested I'll be happy to go to theaters on it's release and to see what they have put together
imagine a fight scene on top of the Gothic Duomo (Cathedral/Church) di Milano, the Second largest Roman Catholic Cathedral in the World:

these are photos I took a few years ago on a trip, don't pay attention to the 2 ladies - keep your eyes on the grandure and immersity of the Cathedral and its architecture
