That is the one thing I think I enjoyed most about that trailer was the introduction of Q. Especially when Q started talking about the Walther PPK. I got a little tingly down there. I think Luke hit it on the head when he described Craig in the Bond movies, that he, at times (most of the time in my book) doesn't even seem like James Bond but just a typical action hero. And that is why I call his movies just typical action movies. I remember watching Casino Royale for the first time and not realizing I was watching a James Bond movie. They could have just called the character Jim Bondman for all I cared. Again, hopefully this movie will surprise me and I change my view on these new Bond films.
