    @RC7 Actually TND is the film responsible for DAD. Remote control cars became invisible ones, the women Bond meets also happen to be superspys and the villains try to evade suspicion by giving passionate speeches explaining their plan to an audience of the world press.

    You're just naming comparable moments. In that case, DAF is responsible with its facial reconfiguring and its satellite laser, or alternatively TWINE is responsible for SF with it's M centric plot... The point is that they tried to dip their toes in the drama pool a little more with TWINE, failed, and then switched to car chases, hammy villains and crazy lairs. The kind of things casual, fly-by-night fans want shoved in their face every couple of years.

    Perhaps if they hadn't had such a knee-jerk reaction they might have tempered the approach to DAD, but at the end of the day the B.O. suggests they were right to do it, after all it's what a lot of you want isn't it, successful box office? Thankfully, despite DAD's haul, they were well aware that the quality was sub-par.

    After SF I think they're in very different territory. No need to go 180 on the work of that film.

    You don't want successful box office then?

    Are you actually reading what he's writing? That's not what he's saying at all.

    I want a great film. But this is Bond, Bond and Box Office are mutually inclusive. I don't know what all the stress is about. If this is a great Bond film, it will make money. How would it not? If DAD is regarded as bottom of the barrel and still made $400m+ then what the hell do you guys think is going to have to happen for SP to bomb? Why of all the moments in the last 50 years of the franchise is the follow up to the most successful film of that franchise a likely moment for the series to tank? It just seems utterly illogical to me.

    @RC7 and I on many MANY occassions disagree. But this time I fully agree with him. "SPECTRE" will be a success. I think we're worrying too much in here. To such an extend that it sometimes looks like a case of "we Bond fans are way too spoiled".

    If the next trailer comes only on August 14th, then so be it. There's another aspect here that could be seen as "free marketing". That's the fact that 2015 seems to be a very 'spy filled' year, with many spy films leading up to one big climax: "SPECTRE". Trust me, there isn't better free marketing for 007, if with every review of "Kingsman", "Spy", "UNCLE", "Mission: Impossible" and even "Furious 7" Mr James Bond himself is mentioned.

    On top of that, this has been an insane box office summer so far. After July it gets a bit more 'peaceful' in the cinemas. So then there's plentiful space for 007 to show off.

    Yes, I think that may be a first @Gustav_Graves. I'm going to have to disagree with you just for the sake of it tomorrow!

    Thing is just, how much BO is necessary to call it a success. Thats all and this might be difficult driven by huge expectations and a huge budget and SF, which put the bar very high. Time will tell. But yeah, a good to great film will do the magic. IF indeed people can still appreciate films with not just over the top action and dinos.

    I'd be happy with a 2hr 30min run time.

    Yes indeed. It's why we are bickering on different threads over nothin but mostly rumors. We have no news to discuss. Come on EON, give us something meaningful to fuss about. :)

    Regarding run time. Length Is less important than entertainment. See The hobbit v fellowship of the ring.

    All the same I'm hoping for a good 150 minutes. I think they will probably release the run time in early to mid October.

    QOS was way to short. The jumpy editing didn't help either. I guess if the film is great and works, the length may not be critical. But that said, given it's Mendes, all the expensive locations and big cast, I too would be surprised if it wasn't around 150 minutes.

    QoS is five minutes shy of GF, which, for me, is paced excellently. It gets stick amongst fans but I tend to see that as a reactionary stance, based on the fact it's regarded in the mainstream as the benchmark. Bullshit aside, it's an exceptional film. I would count GF and OHMSS as high points in the franchise, yet their run times vary from high end to low end, proving that run time is essentially irrelevant. Content and context are key.

    There is certainly no way this film will be shorter than Skyfall. The producers will be a lot more hands off now Mendes has proven himself and bringing back SPECTRE means this film is gonna have a meaty story and will more than justify 150 minutes. I myself find this very agreeable. If we are going to get a Bond film every 3 years now, they might as well be a decently good size.

    If it's one minute longer, but the final minute is 2000 fps slow motion, will that still make it better than Skyfall?
