Very happy I dont listen to the radio

Or people just like different kinds of music and voices?

Soundtrack drops on Nov. 13 (or roughly, might depend on your country). Also apparently the CD will only have an instrumental version of Writing's on the Wall (which is kind of a blessing IMHO). My bad if it's already been posted, was just looking for info myself and figured I'd share.

A good trailer. I think Christoph Waltz will steal this film.

I'm still disappointed that the film's colour palette is so dark with an orange tint. Even the outdoor shots are pretty dark and dismal in the day time. That's one of my biggest gripes with Skyfall considering how bright and vivid Casino Royale was.

The previous Spectre trailers didn't, no.

Amazing final trailer. Cinematography looks absolutely stunning, especially all the desert scenes. Looks like a very grim movie. Action looks great, too, and so does Waltz. Can't wait.

The new trailer is the only one I've been disappointed with.

The poor CGI really doesn't suit Daniel Craig's Bond films.

The building falling and destroying the ground is something you would see in 'San Andreas' or '2012'.

Liked the song a bit more with that music video, but that may have just been the new footage putting me in a good mood

I'm glad how literal the song title turned out to be.

I like it, I just wish Sam had taken it down a notch. Really high frequencies hurt my ears, and this is right on the border between kinda annoying and physical pain. Good song, great music, personally could live without the glass-shattering falsetto.

Also,

[Show spoiler]what with the snowy mountains, "Bond in love" theme song, and Cristoph Waltz apparently playing Blofeld, this is really starting to look like a remake of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Looked to me like the building falling was destroying another building, not the ground.

But I see your point, there's never been any buildings destroyed in any previous Bond film. Oh...wait..

Its gonna be the longest bond film ever clocking at 155 mins

[chip75]

That music video was the exception of the SPECTRE footage wasn't great. It might have been better served with an in-studio video with clips, rather than Sam Smith 'on-location'. I haven't seen a look like that since Anakin giving Padme his best moves in the prequels ...

[Show spoiler]I'm really hoping not. Casino royale was only two movies ago. This Bond STILL hasn't gotten over that. Getting the exact same thing to happen to him is only going to make him even more somber and grouchy in the next bond film. Plus, Craig just... I don't see him and that chick from mission impossible getting together. He just seems a bit old for her.

Lord, do I love me some anamorphic photography.

For real? Damn, that's more than 10 minutes longer than Skyfall. Then again, if they're gonna start making us wait 3-4 years for each new film, then they may as well make these as long as possible.

Hoyte van Hoytema has done great work so far. This should be no different.

[Edword]

Not sure if I'm not a fan of the song itself or the person singing it.

Re: your spoiler comment - I agree completely, and I don't think it's necessary, but since the entire production team still insists on following this Bond Begins thing, I guess introducing Blofeld and the new Tracy knocks off two birds with one movie. I just hope they don't use SPECTRE for only one movie, it'd be a waste of them getting the rights back if they did.
