Thought Bond was supposed to be a spy with a gun in his pocket. Not a massive machine gun in his hand. Hello, A very good point Adam, and I couldn't agree with you more. James Bond sets the standard for action and adventure...he doesn't follow it. He should move with the times and be contemporary, but there's no need for him to be toting a gun of that size. It's just not Bond's style! In 1989's "Licence To Kill"...007 was in a similar situation where he was very angry and A.W.O.L. on a revenge mission. Dalton's Bond inflicted so much pain and torture and brought Sanchez down using his cunningness, wits, and eventually the beautiful lighter Felix and Della had given him as a gift for being the best man at their wedding. James Bond is James Bond. He is NOT Batman, Jason Bourne, Sigourney Weaver in "Aliens", The Terminator, or Stallone's Rambo. He is a British Secret Agent with a licence to kill. That's it and that's all. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson should give their creative collective heads a shake. The state of the Bond franchise right now is interesting, but also very frustrating to those who really know and love the character. Ian Fleming and Cubby Broccoli must be turning over in their graves. Take Care! I'm certain that the old Bond will return. Maybe someone else will make a Bond style film - and Eon will copy them!

Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)
Favourite Films: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Harry Potter, Middle-Earth, The Matrix, Mission: Impossible

I'm certain that the old Bond will return. Perhaps another Brosnan.

EON apparently think that Craig in the desert is a stronger visual than it actually is. I'm surprised the teaser and theatrical poster are essentially the same thing.
Granted, CR's final poster wasn't exactly that inspired, but at least it had a really strong teaser poster.

The Casino Royale teaser poster wasn't bad at all.

The Casino Royale teaser poster wasn't bad at all. Have you got a picture of it - I can't remember it!
