'The new James Bond 'Skyfall' trailer has landed online showcasing a host of new footage and a shock twist.
The action-packed promo gives us the first proper look at Javier Bardem's curiously coiffured villain, Silva.
The menacing star gets up to a number of dastardly deeds in the video; blowing up buildings, capturing Bond and causing havoc in MI6.
The trailer opens up a number of questions about the history of the character, his relationship with Daniel Craig's James Bond and, crucially, Judi Dench's M.'

Wow, Trailer looks awesome.
Bond knurd bump
Skyfall was in production a year before the Dark Knight Rises even started.
Yeah. Looks pretty sweet.
I can see Walther sales going up soon.

” This isn’t a Bond film; rather, it is, quite profoundly, an emulation of X-Men: First Class. Just as we saw how Dr. Xavier becomes forever crippled and bound to a wheelchair, we now get to see how Moneypenny transforms from an acrobatic field agent to a woman forever mired in administrative work. With this approach, it’s best to re-title the movie X-Men of MI6: First Class.” (http://n007.thegoldeneye.com/film_commentary/lights_out3.html)
I rarely go to movies, but Bond movies I never miss.
I remember watching Goldfinger on the edge of my seat as the huge laser was about vaporize 007.
My friend’s dad waited until the tension was at it’s height. Then he said ...
“Why don’t they just shoot him?”
One thing I've noticed is that they've changed their minds on what is an iconic Bond favorite. In the final scene of 'Casino Royale' when he shoots the guy as he answers the phone, then crawling up the stairs asks who he is to hear 007 say, "Bond, James Bond". Rumors were rife with what was said would be the last time 007 would ever utter his name like that. But it seems it was just too entwined with the character to give it up as seen in the clip and I'm damn glad. It would be like the bartender asking what he's having, responding with , 'h'm, I'll have a diet Dr. Pepper on ice'.
—Bond knurd bump—
I think you spelled it wrong. ;-)
Hmmm.
The Scotsman. AKA Sean Connery!
C’mon Sean, you couldn’t be Bond forever! ;-)
At 90, it’s no wonder he’s not able to dodge bullets as easily these days.

Wow! There have been 22 bond films not counting Skyfall, the David Niven Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again!
Who knew?!
I’ve got to tell you that the Craig bond is my favorite, followed by Timothy Dalton.
Well, that doesn’t include Connery. Connery is to Bond films what Elvis is to rock. He is The King.

I think it is in Quantum of Solace where a bartender asks him if he wants his martini shaken or stirred and he says, basically, “I don’t care”.
Yeah, I laughed. I’ll admit it.
I can’t stand that fop Daniel Craig but I’ll watch for Judi Dench...a true treasure
and the new femme fatale...whoever she was..nice
good news I see on that link is that they are doing a sequel of TAKEN
now that looks good.
and with a real hombre in the lead
Just read the article. It was great! Very entertaining and probably correct. Now I know why there was no spark in QofS. Casino Royale is my favorite Bond film, though.
I’ll still at least rent this one at Redbox.
BTW, My favorite “running chase” scene used to be the one in Point Break. The one at the beginning of Casino Royale beats it, though I get the impression that if real human beings actually tried some of that stuff, there would be few tendons and bones joined below the hip.
