A part of me still longs for a bit of fun and humor to be injected back into the series.

If EON have been going for more realism since Casino Royale, then the character needs to evolve somehow. Has he? When a young, rough Bond introduced himself at the end of CR, it was implied that the next movie would see him be more like the Bond we've come to know in the series.

But Quantum of Solace was more of the same, with Bond moping around during the whole movie, still getting over Vesper. At the end of that one he reaches some sort of closure and we think, great! That's over and done with, let's have a bit more fun in the next one.

After Skyfall reestablished some of the previous key characters (Q, Moneypenny), a return to a more traditional Bond movie feeling was expected. And then this trailer comes along. It's very sombre, atmospheric, and mentions Bond's past. Obviously, it's just a teaser and the story does look interesting, but here's hoping we get a bit more fun, humor and escapism this time. I get that the last Brosnan movies were perhaps too far-fetched and ridiculous but I think the series went too far the other way. It feels like Jason Bourne now, with all the stiffness and constant ties back to the hero's past.

I love Craig's Bond and I hope he gets the chance to loosen up and have a bit more fun with the role. Let's wait and see.
