i didn’t think quantum of solace was all that bad. as long as daniel craig is still on board i’ll remain excited. his hard-nosed, loose cannon bond would beat the piss out of pierce brosnan. and roger deakins is invovled! this sounds like it’s shaping up to be a heck of a picture.

Why the hell would Bond and M “hook up”?

As an interesting aside, am I the only one that thinks Austin Powers most responsible for the tone-shift in Bond movies, and that Bourne was just the template lazily followed?

Like Nils above, I too would like to see a more distinctive and Bond-like Bond.

Sounds just like the last two. “This time it’s personal!”
So I guess Bond will still be all bourne-d up and angry. I’d like to see a little more of the calm, suave Bond who tricks the bad guys with a smile on his face. There is some of that in Casino Royale in the poker scenes and even the opera scene in Quantum had that feel for me.
Whatever, amp up the action, but leave at least some of the old Bond.

I don’t get all the uproar about the title though. Half of the Bond films have totally retarded titles. This one is just unmemorable.

Oh, and I wonder if all the Craig films will now be “prequels”. Does this take place right after Quantum? Cause if they want to “test Bonds loyality to M.” it would make more sense to have them working together for a little while beforehand, doesn’t it?

Am I right, guys?

I´m very excited for the movie but Skyfall is a horrible title.. Carte Blanche was much better. I´m sure there´s a reason for it not being the title but as far as titles go, that´s a pretty awesome one.

@KURT

Slipstream was awesome.
The title for this new films seems almost no different from Thunderball.

SKYFALL is a much, much, much worse title than A QUANTUM OF SOLACE (which I quite like).

All Skyfall evokes in my brain is bad D-To-V 1990s sci-fi crap like this:

Why would anybody need to make up for Quantum of Solace? It was nowhere near as good as Casino Royale but it certainly was better than half of the Bond catalogue for sure.
