The gun barrel sequence is as classic as the Monty Berman`s theme, or the Walter PPK gun, so why in hell they kept screwing it!, that sequence must be in the beginning!

Yeah, it's wierd. I mean, they clearly know the gunbarrel sequence is important to the die hard Bond fans or they wouldn't have put it in at all. I was fine with the cold opening and delayed gun barrel in Casino Royale because it made sense. But putting it in the end makes it look like fan service they are ashamed of and secretly want to phase out. I mean, it was crappy too like it was thrown together at the last minute.
If they do this again I'm going to have a distaste for the Craig films because I think he is influential in what goes on.
Agreed. It's been such a letdown, these past three times, not to have the gun-barrel up-front. More than anything, that's what initially hooked me years ago when I saw my first Bond movie. I'd never seen anything so brash, confident, bold and branded. Perfect way to set the series apart from everything else. I suppose we should just be glad they haven't jettisoned it completely.
I'm a BOND fan and I am beginning to hate BOND movies. Why? Because they keep screwing up the iconic Gun Barrel Sequence, which is now in the end. They made so many changes to BOND and they keep doing it. In Goldeneye, they changed M to a lady. OMG, what went wrong with Barbara Broccoli. Then they started to alter James Bond cool (Sean Connery & Roger Moore) image into a rebellious one (Daniel Craig). Now they moved the iconic Gun Barrel Sequence to the end. James Bond is no longer as it used to be. Albert Broccoli made every attempt to perfect Bond movies and kept consistencies. Now it has become nothing but a money making franchise. Disappointed....extremely disappointed.
