Ian Fleming would be proud.

Hi-res version on the film’s official website, 007.com. Much better quality.

Casino with Craig was such a relief after decades of utter crap, but Ian Fleming would not recognise this guy as Bond.

Huge Bond fan. Looks awesome. Love how they’ve taken it back to the begining, but with a modern stage.

I hope that not every Bond film contains Judy Dench “not trusting Bond”. Maybe if she watched previous Bond films, she’d get the point and figure he’s on the Queen’s side. (((sigh)))

I liked it too, but as a woman I do not find Daniel Craig’s face visually stimulating. He is a great actor, from the neck down. Clive Owen, Ben Barnes, Gerald Butler and Jackie Broyles are better choices and easy on the eyes./Just Asking - seoul62......

I think they should have remade Live and Let Die (it is the book that follows Casino Royale) but that wouldn't fly in these political correct times.

This one's been done before, albeit with a slightly different plotline.

Anyone remember (the highly-forgettable) "License to Kill" back in the 90's with the equally-forgettable Timothy Dalton?

He went off half-cocked on a revenge-quest on that one as well. The original "M" revoked his Double-0 status to try to prevent him from doing anything after baddies attempted to kill his FBI-pal Felix Leiter after his wedding (and succeeded in killing his new bride).

After seeing the trailer for "QoS", it looks kinda like a re-hash of "LtK".

What type of “assault rifle” is he carrying in the trailer? It looks like the one he had at the end of Royale when he caught up with that old guy.

It is nice to see quality from franchise movies recently. Between this and The Dark Knight, sequels are actually interesting and capable of topping what came before them.

I like Craig as Bond. I think they caught him at just the right time. Clive Owen would have been a good pick as well, but I think he became just a little too famous right before time for casting.

I’m excited to see the trailer for Terminator: Salvation. I like Christian Bale but how many franchises does he need to rescue. Unfortunately, Terminator is all on him since I don’t trust McG as far as I can throw him. Now if James Cameron had come back, my excitement for T:S would be at TDK levels.
