The first 3 Craig films


I feel like they should release an alternate addition of the first three Craig films where they re-edit the beginning and put the Gunbarrel at the very start where it belongs. Casino Royale and Skyfall I really like but I can't get past the fact that they screwed up the Gunbarrel.

Interesting.

Putting the gunbarrel at the end was the dumbest idea ever and don't get me started on the Casino Royale gunbarrel.

I didn't mind the CR gun barrel. The movie was going for the whole, he isn't James Bond yet (in name yes, but not in swagger or skills) so I get why the didn't put the gun barrel in the beginning. It was kind of cool to tie it into the title sequence. I guess the producers were still going for that kind of vibe in QOS, with Bond finally becoming Bond at the end of the flick by getting over Vesper and moving on. The gun barrel at the end was terrible, probably the worst in the franchise. The gun barrel should have been at the beginning of Skyfall.

It kind of made sense for Casino, since its a reboot of sorts.

reply

Agreed. Gunbarrels should have been at the beginning. The only one I can forgive is Casino Royale.

reply

I cannot forgive the Casino Royale Gunbarrel, I get what they were trying to do but there are some things you just don't mess with, that'd be like Star Wars Episode IX not having a title crawl

reply

QOS gun barrel was much worse

reply

The QOS gunbarrel while not great did look like a James Bond gunbarrel should but there is absolutely no reason to put it at the end. The director was also trying to make his film seem more intelligent than it really was.

reply

The QOS gunbarrel is my favorite of the Craig era, except for the fact that it's at the end....

reply

Its so rushed and its awful how they tie it into the QOS title. Gross
