8. The Action

Explosions, car chases, boat chases, plane attacks, freefalling, sudden knife fights, races through subterranean sewers, evading SWAT teams and destroying an eco hotel by burning it down. These are all things which happened alone in the last Bond film (Quantum of Solace) so who knows the levels of ingenious, explosive brilliance that the new action set-pieces are going to be. We already know that London will take a large role in the film, judging by the behind-the-scenes video of a crashed commuter train ploughing through the London Underground; in addition, there's also moments in the trailer of a fight atop another train in Istanbul, chases through streets... in other words, plenty of scenery-chewing, adventurous and utterly thrilling action scenes to showcase everyone's favourite spy doing what he does best.
