Looks good to me, but kinda wondering how good it will be or more like how good Craig's performance will be when he is always saying how he hates being james bond and all that stuff, and was being such a baby about it till they threw tons of money at him. Makes me wanna just wait for cable.
All of the leaks and info coming out have made this the first film I'm unlikely to see in the franchise. I hope it was a good time for Craig though (surely this'll be his last?).

What is it that makes you say that?
Multiple directors in and out delayed filming, script rewrites and polish (one notably by Fleabag star/writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge to make sure the ladies are repped well) a round of tabloid "will he/won't he" about Craig returning for the franchise, Craig broke an ankle during filming, a film crew member was injured in an explosion.
Usual Hollywood drama nowadays I suppose.
I doubt it will be worse than Quantum of Solace, if that means anything.

I thought it was going to be more story related than behind the scenes shenanigans as I hadn't seen most of that, though to be fair I also wasn't looking either. Sometimes you see things and sometimes you don't. I kinda remember Craig wanting someone to be brought in to polish the script a bit but it was more about making sure the funny stuff was actually funny.
The trailer makes me worry that they are going to try and fit to much in to one story: old lover with secret past, more Blofeld, replacement 00, and main villian on top all that. Hopefully not a bloated trainwreck.

EDIT: Just listened to the Eilish song. Wow that was...not good. I am a fan of some of her songs (particularly Crown) but man, she really can't sing at all.

Skyfall is probably my second.
Also fun fact. The World Is Not Enough is the words on the Bond family crest IRL.
This fact is brought up in In Her Majesty's Secret Service when Bond goes undercover as a Scottish expert in Heraldry, and is then referenced again in The World is Not Enough.
My favorite songs in no particular order are...
Live and Let Die
The World is Not Enough
Die Another Day
Skyfall
Goldfinger
View to a Kill

looks okay but as ever the franchise seems stuck eternally playing catch up, the first few Bourne movies spanked it fairly hard, they raised their game, then Keanu pwn's them (with a pencil...)

I normally prefer female vocalists, but yeah of those three... Garbage and Elish are just... garbage. No depth or emotion at all.
