Excellent! Thank you Donovan and Univex - and anybody else who might post an equally informative response while I'm typing this.

I thought the obituary was a nice touch and a sign they were really going into Fleming´s territory. Nice work Mendes and co.

[sharpshooter]

Love what they've done with the PPK!

Indeed, just like the LTK signature gun. It raises hopes of physical gadgets or trickery appearing in the film. With Q looking to be a young computer wizard we could get the best of both worlds.

Does anyone else love that shot of Bond tied to the chair and looking down the long hallway to see Silva emerging from the elevator? Just creepy!!

I agree! It gave me chills.

Moderators Note: Poll Added.

[Janus Assassin]

Amazing.. simply amazing. A million times better than the QOS trailer and with a few more viewings I may put it above CR.

2:21 on the International. What on earth is Bond hanging off?

Also, anyone willing to have a go at what part of the movie, Silva's scene with M takes place? When he's in the glass cell?

[The Dove]

Cheers Mharkin for creating that poll.. Funny enough, I was thinking of this exact same poll in my mind and how people would answer it.. So far, there are absolutely ZERO "God Awful" responses and that is a GREAT thing!!

A lift on the Shanghai skyscraper that Bond takes to the 67th floor.

After Hashima Island. It's the isolation chamber he breaks out of, before he travels across London with Bond on his tail to kill her.

[DamnCoffee]

Thanks, Shark. I thought it was Shanghai, but a different shot of the scene was in the IMAX Trailer (Bond looking towards the camera whilst hanging on) and he looked clean shaven.

So it looks like Bond captures Silva, then. I didn't know that. Thanks!

I wonder how?

[DamnCoffee]

Maybe it's all part of the plan. He wllingly gives himself up. Which explains why he's in such a massive high security cell. If he goes back with Bond, he'll be closer to M.

All very true.

But it can´t be that easy can it? We do see Bond fighting his henchmen on the island. And if Silva turned himself in, wouldn´t that arouse some suspicion? But I do agree with you Matt, I do believe it´s all part of his plan.

I can't wait to hear ,more dialogue in that scene.

[Trevelyan 006]

I've got to be quite honest, Javier's character is really the most intriguing element for me thus far. The man has a real single Bond villain feel to him which, to a degree, has been missing in Daniel's films. Casino Royale had Le Chiffre, Gettler and Dimitrios. Quantum Of Solace had Greene, Elvis and Mr. White/Quantum organization.

I feel there hasn't been a really fantastic, greatly memorable villain since GoldenEye. The past few Bond movies have provided me with a slight indifference concerning who the villains were. To say I'm excited to find out just who this man turns out to be is an understatement and also quite telling.
After all-- with a great, interesting villain, usually comes a great story.


Long story short, I'm pumped for this outing ladies and gents.

I believe Bond activates a tracker to draw reinforcements to the island to apprehend Silva, but being captured and taken to London was probably always part of Silva's plan, giving him "Trojan horse" status and proximity to M so he can target her.

Agreed, the dialogue in that scene alone was fantastic! God the final product is going to be awesome!

[Simon]

Too many posts to read, so may have missed this earlier.

The whole, 'sending Bond on a mission that M knows he's not ready for' is a book Golden Gun theme where if Bond succeeds then he redeems himself for the attempt on M's life, and if he fails than he has paid for it.

Not sure if Bond is somehow at fault for the missing hard drive...

[sharpshooter]

Silva is very condescending with his dialogue here. Painting a picture to Bond that he’s a small fish that isn’t up to it, going up against a heavyweight. The way Bardem says “chasing spies” especially sticks with me. And also that Bond’s country and organization are irrelevant. Points I think will be tackled in the plot with a new M, and Bond standing overlooking London at the end, with the flag flying proudly. What I like about the trailers is that Bond’s world is full of colour and charm, a memorable villain being one of those things. And of course the Bond/Q dynamic, the women (Bond in the shower with Severine brings the Shrubland’s steam room to mind) and the gorgeous visuals from Deakins.

[thecasinoroyale]

Silva sounds more and more 'The Joker' to Bonds 'Batman' in these ideas - allowing himself to be caught, brought closer to his targets, cuasing choas intended to induce panic and fear and dis-trust from the inside...

...which is only a good thing because I think Silva could a villain unlike any serious Bond villain we've seen on screen for many a year!

[S K Y F A L L]

Some reason Silva reminds me of Emilio Largo.

Exactly what I was thinking. No doubt will SIlva test Bond mentally and physically. I have a feeling that this villain is going to be one to remember.

"A senior officer of the Ministry of Defense, Commander James Bond, C.M.G., R.N.is missing, believed killed, while on an official mission toTurkey"

From YOLT:

"As your readers will have learned from earlier issues, a senior officer of the Ministry of Defence, Commander James Bond, C.M.G., R.N.V.R., is missing, believed killed, while on an official mission to Japan"

PS: and that was my 1500 post, wow, morbid a bit.

According to me, it's not sure that M gives the order to kill Bond.
Maybe, on the contrary, she gives order to kill... his opponent...
But the fight on the train can interfere with Eve's aim.
So she eventually shoots the wrong person...
What do you think?

I think this is correct.

[thecasinoroyale]

I think it's the fact it's such a tight struggle on the train, Eve needs to think and act fast to stop Patrice and get that information from the laptop.

With Eve seemingly under pressure she's not sure what to do and so with M's career on the line getting the information back, she orders the shot and I think it's almost a slight fact of "I don't care if it's messy, just take the shot quick and kill that bastard and get back the drive!", and I think she really puts the mission above Bond's safety and welfare at the risk of it going wrong...which it does...and he is shot and helps the title mean something more with his drop.

It will be interesting to see Eve and Bond's relationship after this...

[univex]

Yes. They do seem to cope well.

[thecasinoroyale]

Indeed...of course, he lets her shave him after the incident and is with him during the London chase, so I hope it does lead somewhere positive for Eve at least in posisble future films if they have a good rapport. We need a decent Bond girl again, not just an air-head.

I think this is correct.

From the extended footage in the IMAX trailer I had no doubt Eve hit bond by mistake. She was hesitating because she couldn't get a clear shot, which is why M yells at her.

Spot on, yes.
