BTW, I think, this nails it:
But it's purpose is not to be a piece of art. It's purpose is to advertise the film to millions of movie goers, most of whom are not committed Bond fans. People walking by a movie poster are glancing off of the poster for one second, 2 at most. It must instantly show what this movie is about, and I think it does that very well. In a year of 1000 spy movie imitators, it instantly nails Craig/Bond as killer and stylish playboy, and as noted above, while subliminally channeling Connery. Works for me.

The top notch acting in the Weisz/Craig/Spall 'Betrayal' is emotionally true, often v funny and its beautifully staged with filmic qualities..

Yeah, I have no beef with the new poster so I think it's cool.
I was just gobsmacked when that teaser poster came out.
I know he looked a little 'photo-shopped' perhaps in that one... (though heaven knows why they feel the need to do that.... unless Dan had a '5 o'clock shadow' around his eyes or a sudden outbreak of zits! Hard to imagine... ) But that teaser poster for me, had a slight edge on the new one...

Wow, that's cool D_C!!!! ... Or rather, that's HOT!!!
I think the scenes that are shown in the first two pix are the ones I am most intrigued and keen to see in the movie.... ... Then again, I don't know the rest yet....
But I hope they don't "over-dress" Daniel in the movie. I've just noticed that he's wearing a waistcoat under his jacket in the scene with MB.... was that entirely necessary?

Some people can be so cruel.... I've just come off YT. I clicked on a vid for 'Spectre Trailer 2' which was 3 mins 30... I thought I might have discovered something but it was the original 2 mins 30 trailer followed by a minute of........ ads.
Thanks for the twitter link GG. Seeing what they have in cinemas will be exciting too!
