Here’s the first trailer for Skyfall, James Bond’s next action thriller. The film, which is scheduled for release in theatres on 9 November in the US and 26 October in the UK, marks Daniel Craig’s third venture as the famous spy.
(Cinema, Skyfall)
The early bond films were actually heavy dialog, character driven films which truly showed the mental limits of Bond and the conflicts of his duties. If anything, they are getting back to the roots of how Bond is supposed to be.
Bond films are not science fiction. I prefer a more realistic approach. To be honest i think everyone over the age of 15 prefers a bit more realism instead of invisible cars and laser battles in space stations from their bond films...
Sure enough its nice to have gadgets and stuff, but stuff that is believeable please!
Bond is a bit of a mix of everything but i think the better bond films are the more realistic grittier ones. Goldfinger, Licence to kill, From Russia with love, Goldeneye, Casino Royale etc.
@ vulcan . Even the better Bond films you mentioned have some distinguished features like Goldeneye. The new Bond movies feel like just another action movie. I'm 29 years old by the way. Not saying I don't like the new ones. But they turned Bond into this super-athletic guy which made him a generic action hero
Bond is an athletic guy though, but street smart. The deadliest kind of street smarts when he outwits his enemies, Casino royale has tonnes of that kind of thing it is wonderful. A sublime mix of no nonsense brutal pugilism and quick thinking.
Of course even the better films have really great tech in them, but within reason.
Quantum of solace is not a great film in my book, because it misses so much of the heart of Casino Royale.
Even so, it is still far better than Moonraker or Die Another Day, filled with preposterous gadgetry and devoid of realistic grounding.
Suspense of disbelief, that is the KEY element to this sort of film. It can be a fine line i admit.
my favorite is still Pierce Brosnan mainly because I only started watching 007 when he took the role. But this guy is still really good, I just miss all the gadgets from the older films.
+1. Brosnan was very good in Goldenye-all suave and style. I like that Craig has made his version of Bond different - gritty, rugged and action-focused. Two very different but equally entertaining versions of Bond.
Roger Moore is completely underrated as a Bond actor. I like Daniel Craig's Bond movies, and him as an actor, but you just can't beat Roger Moore's "classic" Bond.
I like this and I'm excited for it, but there is nothing "James Bond" about this. Sure, it will be a good action movie. I don't really care though. It's just another action movie with the 007 tag on it. I'm tired of this reboot. The first two were alright, but nothing special. I prefer the more campy films with over-the-top villains and unrealistic weapons.
Even this version of Bond isn't realistic. Why try to convince us it is?
If this trailer came out today without the name "James Bond" attached to it, everyone would dismiss it as another generic action movie. -_-

Still my favorite James Bond
also he is my favorite bond too.
The previous two Daniel Craig Bond Movies have been darn near PERFECT!!
007 rules
I'm not very impressed, the movies are less like Bond are more like The Bourne Identity.
