  He's got the look of, 'We've got to walk home because you went and locked the keys in the car...'

  Hmmm...I hope it's not the theatrical poster. The double sided one that came free with Empire or Total Film (whichever it was - I get both and can't tell the difference!) looked better.

  It looks pretty good - although it is does look a little 'photoshopped' to me. Still, more material to make the mouth water in anticipation of QOS.

  Good spot. I don't mind that; would have preferred a just really stylish photo (like those publicity photos of Craig for CR in the tux around the casino; they were practically fashion photography and that would work fantastically for an original feel for a poster, I think), but it's nice and somple, and simple's good for posters.

  Yes, I believe that is the final poster art. I like it.

  That's the final poster art ? I'm disappointed by that - the previous two were far superior, IMO.

  I can't for the life of me figure out why everyone is so f-ing dissapointed about this poster. I love it! its absolutely brilliant! Its very fresh and dangerous, yet retro-connery era at the same time. As a matter of fact, if this turns out not to be the final poster and just the soundtrack art I'll be thouroughly dissapointed. Maybe I'm speaking to soon but IMO this is one of the best Bond posters of all time!

  Can't help but wonder whether we might be looking at something close to the final shot of the film, here. The underlying tone---the look on their faces---seems as if it's trying to say something. "Took care of that one," Bond's face seems to say. "Who's next?" :007)
  
  Given the film's reported running time, I don't foresee a prolonged denouement for this one...seems appropriate for the times: No rescue party, arriving just after the finale...no cozy laydown, and 'huggie-kissie' just before the credits roll...just a sense of a job done, another one looming---and a long, hard walk out...toward destiny. These aren't the faces of people at peace with the world...
  
  Just thinking out loud---it's a free-association exercise I do to limber myself up for other things. I'm probably way off base.
  
  As far as the poster goes...I think I like it. Seems they remain intent upon confounding expectations. There are the trappings---the remnants---of glamour here: the evening wear, distressed and worn hard, like that worn by the survivors of the Poseidon Adventure.
  
  I like what I think I see...

  Definately a CR version 2.0 vibe. Why not, that one worked out pretty well.

  Yes I agree, way too photoshopped...(however Golrush, I would still like to see your "teaser" poster as the final theatrical one )
  
  I have to say, I'm not a fan of this particular artwork. If this really is the final piece, I'll be framing the second teaser...

  I really do like it. They look like they're survivors. And to an extent, isn't that what the film is about? Bond has lost someone and survived, and surmising from Camille's quote in the trailer of "Let me know when you [find them], I want to know how it feels" suggests she's in the same boat.
  
  But it has the remnants of a glamourous occassion turned sour, and relieved silence about it.
  
  What I take from it, "It's over now."
  
  (BTW, oddly the image has been removed from Amazon)

  This poster is great. I don't think it feels too Photoshopped at all. After all, we're talking about a movie poster here. Movie posters frequently include random shots from throughout the film meshed together into a big kaleidoscope of chaos. Regardless of the amount of Photoshopping, their faces are nailing a level of emotional depth that I've rarely seen in a movie poster. I think this one deserves more credit than it's been getting...
