Spectre, that's pretty awesome.
Waltz as the main villain, and Dave Bautista as the henchman...I'm totally in for that.
Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux, two gorgeous woman...one more mature, and a younger one.
And Daniel Craig who rocks as Bond.
My expectation are insanely high for this now.

I know I'm probably in a minority here, but I've never been a fan of the newer bond films. For me, Goldeneye was the last good one. What I loved about the old films is that they (mostly) didn't take themselves too seriously, and had a lot of tongue in cheek humour. Starting with Pierce Brosnan (after Goldeneye) and especially with Daniel Craige, the films seem to have taken on a tone of "serious business!" that makes them even more unbelievable than before, and far less fun.

Yup. Now everything must be like that, it's like the new trend.
And i am with aaron on this one. Last good movie (and my favourite bond) was Goldeneye. Its followers were goofy, campy and boring. Daniel craig's movies tried to be Bourne-ish and that is not what bond is, imo.

I prefer it. But I also liked the Dalton movies. The darker edge is closer to the original books, which is what got me into Bond in the first place. I look at the cheesy stuff more as a nod to the decades those films were made in. They were intended to be serious films in their day, though they seem campy now. The 80s bond run with Roger Moore was a lot more tongue in cheek, but even those were trying to be somewhat serious, aside from the Jaws stuff. I understand people liking the camp, though. If anything the Austin Powers movies might have done more to elevate the Bond franchise by highlighting those aspects in the public consciousness.

Daniel Craig: Blame For the Super Serious James Bond Movies
but I guess Craig wants to dial it back a notch now from Bourne down a bit closer to 60s Bond.
I liked Casino Royale, didn't like as much the last two Craig Bond movies more due to plot silliness than the characters, I thought the actors were all fantastic. If they can nail a good spy story with Spectre I'd be very happy, but I like all my bond movies.

My favorite Bond movies are the Sean Connery ones, even though they are somewhat dated by today's standard.
I liked the first few Roger Moore ones, but they quickly became way too campy and ridiculous.
I actually enjoyed the Timothy Dalton ones too.
I didn't like Pierce Brosnan as Bond, but some of his movies were quite good...Goldeneye being his best.
Daniel Craig is my 2nd favorite Bond after Connery. Casino Royale and Skyfall were very good, Quantum of Solace was a bit of a disapointment.
What I liked about Skyfall was the ending, which looked like it came full circle to where he started with the Sean Connery movies.
Now with Spectre in the picture again, I hope we'll see something in the tone of the Connery movies but more modern. That would make me happy.

QoS, the stadium scene was the only memorable scene...but for the coming full circle, I think that was the point as the first 3 movies starting with Craig are "unofficial" reboot-but they are
