The Quantum 007 fragrance went on sale in Harrods today http://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles ... =&id=03540

I'd love to know what it smells like.

First trailer for MM. Impression, it looks ok, but lacks magic. Now its way too early to know, but i am not a good enough person to wish this film a big success. Sorry ....

I just hope the movie comes together a bit better than this trailer did. What we see above isn’t bad by any stretch, but it feels like it’s missing that one bit of magic that makes everything click.

..and after watchiung this trailer, I am much more relaxed. It feels bloodless. I hope, in the end, we will be glad, he didn't do it.

I felt the same as you did, Gg. The trailer was pretty lackluster.

It was something you watch happening, but like something, you don't FEEL.

Same happend to me when I saw it, maybe I´m biased.
Lack of heart.
It´s a great history, it would be a shame if it flops

It looks like they've put a lot of humour in it. Not sure how well that will work. I might watch it, but I'll always be watching Matt Damon wishing he was Daniel Craig

I know for sure, I won't watch it for that reason. Might be unfair to MD. The humor in the trailer was so - well in the face. So obvious and so NOT new.

It looks like they are trying to do a WW2 version of Oceans 11 which undermines the serious story. Seems like a bad decision. Damon was said to have included DC when he noted the cast in some early interview before DC dropped out, so its unlikely they have the same part.

Ah, I hadn't realised - I thought Damon was DC's replacement. Thanks for correcting me, Tampa

Am not positive about this cause i just read it and didn't hear Damon say it but Damon is clearly playing an American. Don't have a clue what DC's role was.

I was very excited about Monuments Men when it was first talked about ... but the trailer is ... YAWN!!!

I agree that it feels like Oceans Eleven set in WWII. It lacks substance / grit... that certain 'punch' that you need in a war movie. And I've never understood the appeal of Matt Damon OR George Clooney. Neither of them are great actors (IMO) and I don't find either of them "sexy" either. It might have turned out to be another film on Daniels CV (like Invasion) where he was / is the best thing about it. Maybe he had a lucky escape after all...

Germangirl · Post by **Germangirl** » Fri Aug 09, 2013 6:29 pm

I kinda doubt it, because when Damon came into the picture, shortly afterwards Daniel was officially out. I think, its pretty easy to make them american or british - whatever. Personally I am sure, Damon came for Daniel. Could be wrong, of course.

Not really a tough competition to beat
