Its a nice trailer, as they usually are. Some nice moments that get you excited for the new movie. It did raise some thoughts / issues for me. Blofeld has turned into Hannibal from Silence of the Lambs.

I have a bad feeling that we are going to see too much of Lynch's 00 character (please Jesus don't let her take over 007). A sidekick is fine as we have seen other female agents alongside James Bond in such movies as Die Another Day, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Tomorrow Never Dies. But for the love of god please don't give her a bunch of screen time. This is a James Bond movie, lets not go woke, go broke.

In the trailer Lynch says "stay in your lane". This is the most cringe worthy line in Bond movie history right after Jynx says "Yo moma" in Die Another Day. Yuck.

As usual with Craig movies, NTTD is bringing up too much personal crap. Swann is going to betray Bond for some reason, and half the movie is going to be about that instead of the mission.

I fully expect Craig to to continue the tradition of James Bond actors going out with their worst movie (Connery, Moore, Brosnan).

Its gonna be a 2hr 30min borefest just like spectre. Too much talking and not enough action.

Even something as mundane as the motion of Bond's suit jacket as he steps out of the car looks like a CGI effect. So unnecessary.

Also, the motorcycle stunt looks awesome in the leaked videos during filming, and yet it looks like shit in the trailer because of all the special effects.

Trailer looks exciting. Overall, it got me pumped to see the movie. I don't mind Blofeld in the Hannibal place. I like that they haven't forgotten about him.

Some of the shots look really great, like the winter stuff. Ditto the stunts. The motorcycle on the steps, the car guns, the bungee jump - looks like there will be good action.

The villain seems cool, but I thought the Phantom of the Opera stuff was a bit comical.

I'm anxious for Bond's relationship. I like that Spectre left him in a good place and if the movie messes with that good place, that's a wonderful mode of tension which could sustain this last (probably) Craig Bond.

Stuff I'm worried about/didn't like:

Again: the Phantom of the Opera stuff. That mask is just too Andrew Lloyd Webber.

The line you hated, I agree. "Stay in your lane" feels like Millennial code. It would feel similar to Bond being called "Best. Spy. Ever." It's too of-this-moment to work. I worry about this the same way that they tried to force Jynx in Die Another Day down everybody's throats (they wanted to spin that character off into her own series; Die Another Day consequently spent a LOT of time hyping Jynx, like one of those crossover TV episodes meant to promo a new show). I hope this movie uses that character as a goad to keep James Bond on his toes (rivals are great places for tension, character growth, and comedy) without using her to belittle Bond and his over-maleness.

I'm most worried that they'll try to do what they keep doing: making the new villain "behind it all!" Quantum was behind everything, then Spectre was *really* behind everything, and even Blofeld had to be his long-lost brother (...what?), and if they put in another shadow organization *really* pulling the strings, it would almost become a self-parody.

Yawn. Random action sequences. SJW-approved new characters. No feel at all for what the story line is supposed to be.

In the trailer Q is standing around with Tanner & Moneypenny, he says "where's 007"? Do you think this is the "popcorn dropping" moment that the media outlets have been saying is the moment that Lynch is acknowledged as the new 007?

Gross.

There is an identical UK trailer. Why?
