Another nice jacket worn by Mr Bond.

This bond is too monocrome.

Umm, no, the archetypal Bond style from the books and established on screen in the early Connery films is very minimalist with simple, sober colours. The colour palette of Bond's attire in this film is perfectly in keeping with that and that is not an opinion, that is a fact.

One can complain about the cuts and fits with validity, but this argument is a non-starter. Speaking of which, I am rather reassured by the fit of Craig's suit in the most recent set photos. It is still a tad too tight, but it appears no where nearly as bad as the Skyfall suits in that the jacket is not pulling at the fastened button. It is also nice to see that they went back to the 3 roll 2 jacket from QoS (lapels roll over top button), which has a stronger, more masculine appearance similar to a 2 button front. I don't get why they don't just dress Craig in 2 button suits, but this is a more than welcome change.

While I don't agree with all of the choices they made with Bond's suits this time, they aren't blatantly bad this time. To use the TDK-TDKR comparison again, while the hero costume is far from the ideal (ie. Connery's Bond suits/the BvS Batsuit), they have tweaked this inferior version enough this time around to make it look a lot less bad. The casual wear is spot on and I intend to replicate a few of the ensembles for my wardrobe.

I've loved all the casual wear that Craig's Bond has worn in all of his movies so far with the clothing of Quantum of Solace being my favourite.

Mission Impossible would be a fitting movie for the next trailer, but its not Sony/Columbia so i dunno.. but they attach these things sometimes to movies of other studios i think.
 
Damn it, I shouldn't have read the spoilers! The teaser appears to confirm what was leaked out. >_<
 
I think SPECTRE has every chance of being a better film than Skyfall. I think the set pieces are probably better, for one.

Skyfall has my favorite Bond third act by a lot. SPECTRE is going to need to be Casino Royale good to beat Skyfall. We will see.

I personally think that Casino Royale while very good, is incredibly overrated on here. The big set pieces are overlong and do not feel like natural extensions of the story, but rather like holdovers from the Brosnan era included to meet the action quota of a modern blockbuster. The wonderful car chase from the novel was turned into a total anticlimax and we got the overlong Miami Airport and Venetian sinking house segments in its place. Other than the hacking and Silva's plan plot holes at the end of the second act, Skyfall is all around a much better, more cohesive film in my opinion.
 
Other than the sinking building thing, I put CR way above SF. :) My favourite Bond so far.
 
I like Casino Royale better than Skyfall.
 
The last time WB tried to do a Bond movie we got "Never Say never again"

*shudders*
