The newest trailer (I'd say it's a trailer, officially it's an "Adele promo"?) and quite possibly the final one for the upcoming James Bond movie, Skyfall has hit the web and I am here to write about it. Now this trailer/promo/whatever it is, is basically a montage of different scenes with no dialogue, no sound effects, only featuring the brand-new-revealed title song, Skyfall by Adele. We see some of the shots we saw from the previous trailers, like Daniel Craig trapping scorpioms with a glass in an obscure Bolgarian bar, M standing next to a bunch of coffins with english flags on them, Javier Bardem's hair menaciously walking around and overall it's a very cool trailer, but at least for me, it had something more.
Now to be honest, I wasn't exactly eagerly expecting this movie, as I am simply not a fan of the Daniel Craig James Bond. I don't mean Daniel Craig as James Bond, I think he's okay, but the style of the movies, he stars in. As much as I love the dark, brutal and realistic feel to Batman, I grew up watching the cartoonish and humorous Pierce Brosnan James Bond movies and they just burned that image of James Bond into my head, even tough knowing, this interpretation is actually more 'true' to the original books. I saw Casino Royale and it was good, but nothing spectacular for me, I didn't see Quantum of Solace (or heard a lot of good stuff about it), so I wasn't even planning to see Skyfall. The first teaser that came out was extremely cool, especially because of that awesome James-Bond-theme-techno-riff-remix, that was used in it, but was just a cool trailer and nothing more for me. The second trailer was okay and revealed a lot more about the story, but it still didn't made me want to see the movie.
And now this came out. I don't know why, but it just has more of that Bond-tastic feel to it. The first two trailers had the Daniel-Craig-Bond-tastic feel to it, but this one, with all the explosions and the title song and Bond fucking random girls and Bond adjusting his sleeves after falling onto a train and similar stuff, which reminded me of the cartoonish Pierce Brosnan James Bonds. I am not saying, that this will be a cartoonish Pierce Brosnan James Bond, I'm just saying, this trailer made it look more like that, then the first two did. And as much as I know, this will be a dark, brutal and realistic Daniel Craig James Bond, this trailer just lit a bit of that spark, that spirit of the movies that I'm used to. One of the things, that also made me interested, was this guy.
I remembered, I've seen him before somewhere and realised, it was Ben Wishaw, the guy reading the letters and playing the piano in the epic Cloud Atlas trailer, but I was even more shocked, when I discovered, he was actually playing Q. Q, James Bond's old and cool gadget supplier! Then I remembered, that these movies are basically sort of prequels and that Casino Royale was based on the very first book, so they are actually introducing young, hipster-ish Q, which is awesome! So then I took a look at the old trailers and realised...all of these things were in the second trailer already. There is nothing particularly new. But I did see the second trailer and saw all the same things, but they just didn't have the same effect on me. I actually saw this guy introducing as Q, but it just didn't attract my attention. I don't know what it is with this trailer, but I have to assume it's the very good Adele title song, that just pulled all of these elements together and actually attracted my attention with the same things, things that I already saw. In conclusion, I am just really thankful to this trailer/promo, as if I would probably never plan to go see the movie, if I hadn't seen it.
So what do you think of the trailer/promo? Are you going to see the movie? What do you think of the title song? Check the trailer out here, comment below, let me know!
