I wonder if Christoph Waltz is actually playing Franz Oberhauser or its a cover for him actually being Ernst Stavro Blofeld. I hope it's a cover. One frame in the tailer he looks like he is wearing an outfit that bears a striking similarity to Blofelds. One can only hope.

And frankly, if you're a Bond fan, you're missing a lot by not seeing the Daniel Craig movies.  They've really struck a decent balance between keeping what made Bond movies great and dropping what made them goofy and amping up the action to 21st century levels.

It really isn't an either / or proposition, especially since their premier dates are like 4 months apart.  You should be able to squeeze them both in.

Also, based on their trailers, if there is a movie that is on bust-alert, it's Dawn of Justice.  I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like they're going to try and squeeze a lot of peripheral stuff into this film to try and set up their cinematic universe a la Marvel.  Could easily turn into a mess.

the new Bond movies are pretty shallow compared to the old films.  The old movies could be campy at times, but they were funny and interesting.  If I just want to see shit get blown up there's no shortage of movies I can watch for that.  Bond is supposed to be more.

I think Craig is a good Bond overall, but the scripts have been meh at best (although better than the Brosnan era).

I gotta disagree with you there, Hatter.  After Thunderball, there aren't that many Bond stories until the Craig-era reboot that don't completely stretch the limits of credibility.  There are exceptions of course, but there is a lot campy shit to sift through to find the 4 or 5 diamonds in the rough.

You Only Live Twice - SPECTRE steals US / USSR spacecraft from orbit with larger Pac-Man spacecraft to trick them into starting WWIII

On Her Majesty's Secret Service - No beef with this film.  Easily Top 5 Bond movie.  See it again.

Diamonds Are Forever - Blofeld holds world hostage with diamond-studed space laser.

Live and Let Die - Black drug dealers plan to corner the heroin market.  Blaxploitation Bond.

The Man with the Golden Gun - Bond battles super-assassin to try and obtain world's greatest solar cell to solve energy crisis.

The Spy Who Loved Me - You Only Live Twice except with stolen US / USSR submarines

Moonraker - Bond has to stop bad guy who is going to exterminate all people from orbiting space station and start humanity anew.  Star Wars Bond.

For Your Eyes Only - The only watchable Moore film.

Octopussy - Rogue Soviet general tries to fracture NATO by sneaking nuclear warhead onto US airbase in West Germany.

A View to a Kill - Crazy guy tries to flood Silicon Valley and corner the world microchip market.

The Living Daylights - Watchable

License to Kill - Worse than Living Daylights, but watchable.

Goldeneye - Only watchable Brosnan film

Tomorrow Never Dies - Media mogul tries to start WWIII to sell newspapers

The World is Not Enough - Oil baroness partners with terrorist to vaporize Istanbul with a nuclear weapon and destroy all Russian oil pipelines into the West.

Die Another Day - Diamonds Are Forever only this time North Koreans have built diamond-studded space laser to allow them to conquer South Korea.  Almost kills Bond franchise altogether.

I have seen all the Bond movies, although some on TV so I wasn't entirely always paying attention to every frame.  So I'm confused -- is the audience already supposed to know who the Oberhause r/Blofeld character is, have we seen him before in other Daniel Craig movies?  I didn't recognize him.

And if he's supposed to be Blofeld, well...where's the monocle and the white cat and the wheelchair?  (ALthough he is ALWAYS sitting in those clips, maybe he is crippled.)  Cuz you can't have Blofeld without the monocle and the cat.  Especially the cat.

No, we've never seen his character before.

But we have seen the guy who says "he's everywhere!" That's Mr. White, the guy who executed Le Chiffre (and inconsequentially saving Bond from further torture) and then confiscated the diamonds in Casino Royale.  He was last seen as a member of the Spectre-like organization Quantum in Quantum of Solace, claiming that "we have people everywhere."

So I wouldn't be surprised if Spectre reveals that Oberhauser/Blofeld has had a hand in things throughout the entire run of Craig films.
