Love it. It´s Bond. Period.

I, for one, always hated crowded or overcomplicated posters. And can anyone still say Craig is not Bond? And not every Bond actor could pull that one off. Connery did, obviously. 

 

Well, everything about this film is, so far, spot on. High hopes here.

Same here. For me, as far as posters go, less is more. This poster screams Bond in a very sleek and simplistic way. It'll look good hanging in movie theaters. I love the blue background.

It will indeed. And isn´t that the same shade of blue as in the CR teaser? Or close to it.

I love this poster.  Nice homage to Live and Let Die. 

[Hockey Mask]

I like it! Better than than the Brosnan years. My favorite is still the first bullet hole poster though.

[DaveBond21]

Goldfinger and Live and Let Die all in one... and I have NO problem with that all!!

 

That's what I was thinking.

Why is this image not on the main page yet?

Easy there. People have lives.

 

It now is.

 

Thank you.

 

I hope you will forgive my impatience (I am not renown for it).

I'm all for simplicity (loved the teaser), Craig's pose/look is awesome,  I love the idea of meshing GF and LALD, and the poster's basic concept is great - but the final result is a bland, borderline unprofessional-looking disappointment.

 

"It looks like fan art" is a phrase that's thrown around far too often, but in this case, it's undeniably true. Not even good fan art. I could scroll over this in a fan art forum and not even slow down.

I really like the new poster. That said, it's not difficult to beat the ones from Skyfall. Good lord they were awful. The "prom night" one in particular.

 

Craig looks badass 

[sharpshooter]

I'm happy with the poster. It's colourful instead of black and white. Plus the pose is cool.

"I thought I saw a spectre at your shoulder..."

 

Just come back to it after a few hours. Still really pleased with it.

I love it, personally. They are not saying that this is "Bourne with a martini" but full fledged BOND.

Must admit though that that many screenwriters has me a *bit* nervous...

[sharpshooter]

Yes, the skeleton masked Bond at the back provides the ghostly double meaning of spectre. 

 

The blue background, white jacket and gold font makes it all feel rather exotic.

Check out this poster for SICARIO. Not necessarily *exactly* this, but a final Bond poster could look something like this... if they were putting any effort in.

Personally, I prefer the SPECTRE one. And it´s the first Bond poster I´ve liked since CR.

The CR posters are still king, but indeed...I'd say this one is my favourite since then. 

 

I take it they'll use this poster for the soundtrack cover, too. That will look good.

[Emrayfo]

Just like I loved the LALD homage in the SPECTRE teaser poster, I love the GF homage in this poster. I agree it does look more like a character poster than a film poster, though.

 

         

 

 

What I also find interesting is the width of the lapels in this Tom Ford jacket. Compared to most contemporary jackets they look massive! Ford has obviously decided the current trend of very narrow lapels has about run its course and is responding with instituting medium-wide peaked lapels in some of his suits. It will be interesting to see if the rest of the industry does the same. I think this white dinner jacket is in Tom Ford's 'Windsor' cut, as is at least one of the other SPECTRE suits worn by Craig. But that said, his O'Connor cut, with more narrow lapels (though granted not trendy super-narrow lapels like some brands have right now), also appears in SPECTRE, so who knows? Maybe it's just about variety? I think generally Ford has always avoided very narrow lapels anyway, but in this dinner jacket the much wider lapels are very noticeable.

Not seeing the problem with the poster... I think its great. Love the iconic Bond imagery, the colors and the background image. I can see this on my wall in the near future.

[SmirkingRevenge]

It amazes me just how worse and worse these posters seem to get. The problem isn't that there's not much on it, minimalism is the way to go with Bond, but it just looks very amateurish. 10 minutes in Photoshop, zero creativity. Can't believe someone got paid to make this when fans are making better posters for free.

[AMC Hornet]

At least EON has original photos to work from, instead of recycling familiar images from previous campaigns.

Indeed. The Dark Knight Rises promotional campaign was notorious for that. 

[007jamesbond]

Interesting about Daniel as "Co producer" is this the first time a bond actor involve in the creative process? The poster is good

And voted. Love your options, Jim. Funny and creative as always. 

[DaveBond21]

It doesn't shout "Rogue Bond" at me. Or "This Time It's Personal".

 

It says "Classic Bond".

 

And yes I am aware that movie posters can't shout. Not all the time anyway.

Hope a bit more effort's gone into the film.

 

That sums it up for me.

[S K Y F A L L]

The Craig era posters have kind of come in pairs haven't they? I mean CR and QOS shared the similar posters, titles and fonts. Now SP is following after SF...

[SecretAgentFan]

Just noticed - it reminds me of the retro poster for THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. - just with less people.
