Sorry, couldn't resist.
Yikes! I honestly didn't see it. I think I was on the previous page when I made my post.
Honestly, i liked this trailer a lot more than Justice League. A whole lot more. Marvel/Disney will end up securing another $Billion with this. This is becoming an embarassment of riches.
Still, there is a sense of deja vu & overexposure for me here, which is unfortunate. This most impressive & beloved of Marvel characters has been misused of late, and I believe the Bat is about to encounter the same scenario over at DC.
In terms of actual product they're delivering, but it's become very, very rare to hear EON say "we've got some great ideas for the next one and we can't wait to get to work!" Wrist-slashing comments aside, even I'd like to hear more excitement from the creative team, from the actors . . . from anyone, really, to get people optimistic and eager for the next movie.
Marvel aren't perfect, of course, but they've got this kind of salesmanship down pat.
I'm not so naive that I believe that, say Tom Cruise or Robert Downey Jnr are just so full of passion for their latest franchise project. But they get out there and shake hands and kiss babies and effectively gin up some excitement all the same. Ditto Feige.
EON, take note!
Is this going to end up as a replay of "Captain America 3", with a lot of unnecessary appearances by Marvel characters in a solo film? I mean . . . Iron Man will be a supporting character in this film, as well.
And again, I wish I could see acting and characters such as Keaton´s in a film without superpowers...
I can see your points and obviously there needs to be some actors from big projects who don't mind being part-time shills, but one of my favorite things about Dan is that he doesn't whore himself out in that way. If he's excited, you can tell, and if he's not, he's not. He won't put on a face just to do it, and it clearly hasn't hampered Bond's box office at any rate. I know many, including myself, who respect his approach to interviews where he avoids answering the same old things and speaks honestly when he's pushed. In an artificial world, I would want a Dan in my corner more than a Cruise or Downey, though I like the both of them too. It's just that Dan fits my private, abrupt and almost painfully honest kind of personality, and I respect people in the industry who can still be successful while not compromising for anyone.
In principle, promoting a film on these press tours is a skill in and of itself and is another side, a delicate side to showbusiness but of course there are moments where these actors are faced with real scumbags who try to sabotage their efforts in what is already an arduous undertaking. Being an actor for these tentpole movies isn't always easy; but I guess it's one of the reasons why they get paid the big bucks.
You are right to say it's a craft in itself to be able to do these long interview junkets, and it's all down to personality. Downey is essentially the king of public entertainment and salesmanship, simply because he oozes charisma and loves the camera as much as it loves him. His personality makes him born for it.
Dan on the other hand is about as opposite from Downey as humanly possible, being a private and quiet man who isn't willing to go out and parade himself around. He's a lot like Sean in that way, because if you look at 60s interviews Sean often has the same air of, "Why do I have to do this on his face?" His bad reaction to fame was often visible at these points, and he'd elect to not speak of Bond at times on top of it as he just couldn't be bothered. I think the only ones truly good at all the trials of film promotion were Roger and Pierce; I'd add in George but I've never run into much interview footage of him, though I'm sure he got excited about being broadcast everywhere as the biggest character of the day. Roger is that kind of people person and can speak with people in gab mod well, just as Pierce can; it helps that they both have a very nice charisma, with Roger's English propriety and good humor and Pierce with his Irish charm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Timothy often chose not to give interviews, and did so sparingly whenever he could.
I don't want to get off topic, but I find it fascinating to study how each Bond actor promotes their films, and how their styles or personalities differ and effect how interviews go. I should start up a thread on this, if there isn't one already.

I've never seen a studio so allergic to making money.
This looks a lot of fun! :-bd
ok lets discuss this
Polish... Meh really I guess the CGI is ok
Entertainment Value... up to the individual and seeing Spider-man Again in high scgool (when he was only in High school for what 2 3 years in the comics) is boring
Adherence to the comic mythology???? Yeah cause Vulture look exactly like the comics oh wait nope he looks like a piss poor Iron man rip off... Shocker seems like this films Rhino .... and that is from the trailer...
Over all if its for you great it just isn't for me
I just don't get it. I mean, it's not rocket science we're dealing with here. These ass clowns are just intent on massacring everything they touch. It looks like they want to go ahead with a venom movie, a black cat and silver sable team up movie and after the sequel to spider-man Homecoming, they may end the partnership with Marvel Studios so spidey can no longer be part of the MCU???? How much fail do they need in their lives? Tom Rothman needs a spear thrown at and lodged in his head!
I think they're just desperate. The market is fragmented and Marvel/DC own the game right now with superheroes and SW. Sony needs a tentpole to compete, and sadly with Bond in apparent limbo due to those idiots at MGM with their never ending issues it looks like they're moving onto other things.
