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.

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.

I'm definitely going to save my money for the Batsets and other Bat-related home video formats. One of the things of endorsing non-Bond franchises.

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 sounds very similar to TND with Sheryl Crowe.

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.

Yikes! :shock:
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.

I agree, I think it's a grower. I can see this song topping the charts, especially considering who is singing the song.
