Sure, very dark and atmospheric - but somehow the long forgotten brother twist brought me a "Really?" after finishing the trailer. The arch villain is the foster brother? And MI6 somehow stumbled upon Bonds past while looking at the Skyfall rubble?
Now, after a rewatch, I started to enjoy the long distance shots and the spectre of SPECTRE. Guess, Eon will do the right thing and not overdo the Oberhauser. Well, at least I hope so.
Agreed. It's a terrific trailer. Shaping up to be one hell of a film.
I suspect (hope) Mendes will do the follow up film as well and complete his Bond trilogy and pay-off Craig's fantastic tenure.
I'm a Bond fan who knows about Bond's past, having read all the Fleming novels countless times, and at no point does it mention that Bond has a brother, or that there is a link with SPECTRE and his past.
Mendes and co. are rewriting history here. This has nothing to do with Fleming, other than a character name Oberhauser which was used briefly in the short story OP.
I've disliked the foster-brother-now-head-of-spectre angle since it came out. It's awful, trite writing and I sincerely doubt it'll add any emotional impact to the film at all. Just as I didn't care less about Silva/M. But I'll have to live with it.
The trailer was great - wonderful cinematography! Great dialogue too. I wonder if Bond kills White or leaves him to Spectre...
As for...
... absurd and totally un-Fleming. I hope this doesn't play out like some here have suggested. Though @timmer, whose judgement I greatly respect, seems to think it's a great script and could be up there with the "original classics" so I won't judge it yet myself. As for the teaser: I'm not too impressed. As a plus, at least Craig looks good.
Yet you see the images below and know the context and meaning of them, regardless of them being true to Fleming or not. The general public does not. That's my point.
Fantastic to see Mr White again. That line about the kite in a hurricane is truly wonderful.
I think Spectre could be something special.
I hope so, too.
It looks serious, dangerous, dark and mysterious. Compared to mission impossible which looks like it's aimed at children who can't sit still
I really hope the film lives up to its promise and mendes hangs round for a third outing then they both pass on the baton.
Just think where we were 10 years ago. Cgi tsunamis, invisible cars, madonna and lee tamahori.
Everyone at eon has done a fantastic job reimagining the franchise which now attracts oscars winners and nomination.
Craigs bond is credible and the films are a high watermark of the genre and also popular film making.
Well done all.
And tell me that Mr White didn't just call Bond a Cheryl? I wasn't thrilled enough to watch the teaser a second time to check.
EON are in danger of treading over old ground again. This trailer seems to be more of the same from where we left off in SF - Bond uncovering more of his roots, and another villain is unearthed similar to how Silva was unearthed in SF.
Get over yourself. I'm allowed to have an opinion. And when was I last underwhelmed...?
Tell me...?
Hey Willy, I was talking to the Major. Your post wasn't up there, when I replied, so i didn't quote. ;)
Ahhhh!" oops!! Sorry.....
:\">
Its all good :)
I hope, you will like the trailer. For sure, there is gonna be action - probably a lot.
Umm you'll forgive me for saying so, but why can't @MajorDSmythe have an opinion on this?
Just because he doesn't agree with your own take on Bond and Daniel Craig in the role.
Whilst I like Daniel Craig in the role, I respect the Major for sticking to his guns and being honest. It makes him no less a Bond fan, just because he doesn't like the current actor in the role.
Your constant swipes at anyone who even remotely dislikes Craig as Bond or the Craig Bond films in general is getting more than a little boring and downright rude.
So there has never been something that you didn't like? Then good for you.
I don't post that much these days, fewer posts about Bond, and fewer still (rarely) on Craig's Bond... I wouldn't call that constantly. As a mod, I read threads on Craig's Bond, but I don't usually post in them. I am pretty sure you can survive a negative post from me, especially when everyone (nearly everyone?) else on this forum likes Craig.
****? Steady on, @GermanLady, we all know how name calling (in any style) gets everyone upset.
I think that's actually the point. I think native speakers will feel more of the brain-guessing-words effect than non-native speakers. I guess it's like with typos - a native speaker can always read a text even if literally every word is spelled incorrectly, because his or her brain corrects the mistakes automatically. But if you are not a native speaker, i.e. if you are missing much of the vocab, you can never be sure that the spelling is incorrect (it could be another word you don't know), so you don't replace words automatically with the correct ones, but take things at face value. Much like "kite" here - it's what's there and so it's what non-native speakers hear, whereas native speakers may (or may not) automatically replace the unexpected word with an expected one that sounds slightly similar.
