I want a roll!
I like the Brosnan era one, it looks really cool, I think the old design looked a bit outdated. I didn't mind the CR design but I hated the QOS one. I think they should try and think up something new for the inside of the barrel.
How about viewed through a sniper's criss-cross, Bond strolls into shot carrying a large rocket launcher on his shoulder, turns, fires and blows the entire screen up? Kaaboom!!
Or we could just stick with what's already iconic and that we know works. I can't say I noticed much difference between the CGI Brosnan GBs or the ones that proceeded them. It was always the music cues that I noticed the most.
The Brosnan gunbarrels are too shiny I think. They just don't look realistic. I myself want something that looks more realistic and less cartoon like.
Fair enough. I just like that slick glossy feeling. But like I said, I hope they redesign the inside of the barrel for this one (I'd put my money on them using the classic one though).
When I said changing it, I didn't mean another big change, I want the classic one too, but they should try to make it a bit different like they did for Brosnan. They should stick with what works, but I'd like it if they didn't do the Brosnan one or the older one. Maybe take the inside of the CR one and use that.
i like the dalton jump, a bit of a nod to bob simmons, it would be cool if craig done that.
Yeah! I think it is really good except the speed. But too bad people don't want to see what's actually is good, just whats bad.
Definetly. The way it builds up to the gunshot is really cool. Just another reason why LTK is the best Bond film ever.
imo, the QOS gunbarrel was the worst one of the series. It was at the end, it was too fast, Craig was almost running, even the CGI bullet was better than this. I liked the design though.
On the other hand, the LTK gunbarrel music doesen't follow the music schedule at all. It just doesen't work.
The music has changed lots of times, not just for LTK. And the music in LTK works really well, because it's a different version of the Bond theme that builds up into the gunshot. QOS wasn't as near classic as we could get, because they could've easily just put it at the start, made it slower, etc.
But if the gunbarrel would have been on the start it would have ruined the tension that is build up. And that the gunbarrel in the end shows that Bond is the man we know so well in the end. He learns about Vesper and he can finally move on. The whole gunbarrel went a bit fast, yes but so? It was the end of the film, people were just going to leave.
I think that a great gunbarrel should have the music schedule right, FYEO have terrible music to the gunbarrel but it follows the schedule so i think it's okay. But not with LTK.
That is one of the few problems i have with LTK though.
That's another problem I have with QOS. It seemed like Bond had become the man we know at the end of CR, but in QOS he was basically the same. They could've just played the tense music OVER the (normal) GB at the start to keep the tension. I think the QOS gunbarrel is definetly the worst one and I know I'm not the only one to think that.
j/k tho, none of you are wrong, but the FYEO gunbarrel music is by far and away my favorite... the latter ones from Arnold were never as good as his one for TND, the music for the one in QOS was good though..
