I totally agree, the artwork for the Skyfall posters has been very lazy. I know I always say this, but they really need to bring back the awesome illustrated James Bond movie posters again.
They did the same lazy artwork for their Adele teaser. The Dalton poster is awesome it captures the Bond coolness.
Craig has to frown in his for some reason. Brosnan teasers were cooler than the real posters.
I can't remember the last truly cool poster for a new movie.
I must admit I personally LOVED the Goldeneye poster

Which one?
Looking at it it's better than TND, TWINE, DAD, CR, QOS, Spyfall. We almost never see the poster once it hits dvd, the Nintendo 64 game used a famous cover of the movie.

What does the Batset you're referring to look like?
Batman Begins and Dark Knight bluray
This is the new one
There was another Dark Knight a best buy exclusive that had a clown mask. I've owned and sold these sets over time not to long ago there were on clearance prices, I bought a few held on to them till the prices went back up. Wish I had bought a dozen of the Batman - Batman and Robin blurays those when though the roof over the summer.

Favorite Bond Movie: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible, Kingsman: The Secret Service and The November Man or any upcoming actioners starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good since it will help him expand his reputation as an actor especially in the action realm)
Favorite Movies: Star Wars Indiana Jones Star Trek The Dark Knight Trilogy Harry Potter Middle-Earth The Matrix Mission: Impossible The Mummy Jurassic Park Godzilla

Yeah, GoldenEye definitely has some awesome poster art. Not only do I think that GoldenEye was the last of the good James Bond posters, but I also think that it's the best out of all the modern James Bond posters. It really has an essence of classic Bond to it.

Well, it's really no surprise that Adele will be performing the theme song for Skyfall, since it was one of the worst kept secrets. Not sure how good it's going to be, though. The last few Bond songs haven't been all that great, in my opinion.

Cornell's song was good in recent years, but you have to go as far back as probably TLD for the last great Bond song before that.
I'm hoping this Adele song will be a classic ballad, like TSWLM or FYEO. Judging by her voice, the team she has working with her and the 70 piece orchestra, I am quietly optimistic about this song now. It's about time we had an undisputed classic Bond song again.
Okay, I just saw a thread on IMDb which gives a link to the preview of Adele's Skyfall theme. Here it is: http://thefilmstage.com/news/listen-ade ... all-theme/
Even after only just hearing that 1 minute and 30 second snippet of the song, I can honestly say that this will be yet another Bond song that I don't care for. Even a couple of people on IMDb said that the song sounds dull and not really iconic.

It does have a similar sound to the Tomorrow Never Dies song, which many don't consider to be that great. Even though I didn't mind that one, most people (including myself), think that the end credits song called "Surrender" sounded better and should have been the main title song for Tomorrow Never Dies. Other than Die Another Day, You Know My Name, and Another Way To Die, I pretty much like all the Bond songs. My most favourite is A View To A Kill, and my second favourite is For Your Eyes Only. It's just too bad they don't make the Bond songs as good as they used to.
Was this snippet official or was it leaked? If it was the latter, then it makes it more likely that it could have been heard prematurely in HMV Guildford.

Naaah....forget that Kris. Just spoke to my mate now and made him listen to it while I was on the phone, and guess what?? It WASN'T the song he heard......
I told him he better get on Twitter now and start apologising......

Yikes!
Um, er, let me start by saying I adore Adele, I have to hope this is a rough cut or whatever its called. Wonderful voice, good instrumentals, extremely dull song. Even the melody is not that bad, still it feels like it drags and drags, with visuals for a opener it may work. I've listened to it several times now each time I like it less as a song, even with more Bond flare it's going to be a tough sell.
Not going to be a #1 hit anywhere.
