Yeah, I have yet to be disappointed with any of the Daniel Craig Bond films. There was some real (and deserved, really, considering their previous reputation) concern when the Broccoli family took over the franchise, but they definitely proved themselves worthy custodians.

Honestly, the new trailer deflated me just a little because I'm now concerned they're gonna overplay this Bond/Spectre connection in trying to pull a Moffet-esque Dr Who stunt ("SEE? IT WAS ALL LEADING UP TO THIS AH HA!"). Now I'm worried they've been littering the last 3 movies with "references" to be revealed that won't satisfy. It's not enough to have a shadow organization running the world, it's gotta be a vendetta against a single MI-6 agent? :/ I feel like that cheapens the conspiracy (and the payoff of Bond's victory) to regard Bond as more than an annoyance next to their power. Preparing to facepalm when SPOILERS(?) there's a flashback to that Skyfall photo and it's his brother or something running Spectre.
Still excited. Just anxious at the turn in tone.

Oh I totally wrote a thing in prep for SPECTRE, there's gonna be a few more.
I agree with you @dontcallmekelso. I've thought that since they cast Daniel Craig. Though I figured it may have been just some mental gymnastics for me to consolidate the idea of 007, and this new grittier, blonderer James Bond.
Also, I don't remember when bond decided to ditch the Aston Martin, but was glad when he returned to it.
I always thought of Moffet being his one unique brand of shit story telling. Best Dr. Who episodes aren't written by him, the worst part of Sherlock is the story lines. Actually I am not entirely sure how he keeps getting these high profile writing gigs.

Wait? There's a story?
Kidding aside.....
That's the risk of "elevating" this sort of thing. Everyone expects something more than pretty girls and fast cars....
That was basically my point. The Skyfall backstory was terrific but already pretty aggressive for Bond. I don't want them to double down and get ridiculous with it.

Seriously tho who tagged that 'Disagree'?
I think when I tried to tag it as "007" it messed up... I dunno
there are no movie tags.
Haven't seen a Bond film since "The World Is Not Enough"
I guess it's time I caught up.
Casino Royale = amazing.
Skyfall is, by far, my favorite ever.
I like Sean and Roger both, but Daniel is superb.
There hasn't been a bad bond movie since daniel craig
Anyone interested in a lore breakdown?

NEW TRAILER!!! WOOT
Kristof Waltz is the bad guy? YES YES YES YES YES.
Also, I think Monica Bellucci may be a time-traveler.
Midnight showing
i'm excited.
@Church4252
Oh hell yes.

Also 2 month late reply to @Linc but that's not his brother in the photo, that's his childhood ski instructor/father figure's real son.

I read this as pretty cars and fast girls at first.... still made sense.
That was basically my point. The Skyfall backstory was terrific but already pretty aggressive for Bond. I don't want them to double down and get ridiculous with it.
I might be getting old, but I feel the Aston Martin DB10 is the prettiest girl in Spectre
Nothing against Monica Bellucci, Léa Seydoux and Naomie Harris of course
The DB10 is damn fine.
Mmmh... that is a close call for me. I notice the car first, but spend more time on the women.
I mean, who wouldn't want to be in her...
If I ever get super rich Aston is the car I would get.
Along with a GTR, Aventador, and a 488GTB
And a GT40...
