Simple, elegant, dark, and giving you a feel of what may come. I'm loving the new Bond, and the use of the pistol.

12/10

9.0

I don't like the new Bond and either the movie trailer with him... but I really, really like this teaser poster very, very much. The look, the colors, everything!!!!

The colors, ligthing, and attitude seem to promote a darker and more serious side of James Bond. I don't know if that was the intent.
The one eye could have been pushed back into the shadows for better dramatic effect.

Probably the best poster for this Casino Royal series. I like the fresh look although it really deviates from all of the other Bond films. Maybe that's their point. Poker is in and the gun on the table is a nice touch.

A bit boring. him at the table holding a gun, thanks for reminding me what james bond already does.

Lovely poster, especially with the muted colors playing the cooler image of the new Bond over the slam-bang Brosnan. My major question is that I thought European casinos used rectangular plaques instead of round chips. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is one of those unforgivable botches.

The poster is... alright. Daniel Craig looks great. The typography is dire though. What's with the cheap assed font. It's that Century Gothic. The Futura rip that was given away free by Microsoft. How cheap is that! This is Bond! The designers should stop being so cheap and lazy and go buy something nice, expensive and well crafted next time.

NOB, if the eye on the right had been pushed back into shadow, that would dramatically alter the perception of the image due to changing the two-dimensional shapes. The way it is now, there's a diagonal line just above the film title that divides the image in two--into a smaller bright area (containing his face, which communicates) and a larger (and thus more powerful and menacing) dark area below containing his body (which acts, and which seems hidden because of the darkness). If the right of his face had been pushed into shadow, this contrast would be lost and he would just seem like an assassin lurking about in the shadows rather than someone who has to present themselves in a public place.

Another nice touch is partially cropping off the arm on the left so that it almost seems like an arm of unknown origin is controlling the gun, adding to the ominous tension that, though he seems in control, you never know what might set him off.

The tip of the gun's close proximity to the lower and right frame borders also adds to the tension due to the narrow gaps created and the implied control needed to keep the gun from touching them. The gun itself seems powerful due to its presence in both the left and right halves of the image but is held in control both by being at the bottom of the image and by being held down by a far larger shape (Bond) above. There's a line formed by the lower borders of Bond's arms that divides the image in two much like the line I discussed above, putting the gun in the smaller of the two shapes. Bond's hand breaches this line, though, showing that the control could be shattered at will.
