The title says it all... even threw in a couple of homages to the Dr No gunbarrel for the 50th. Enjoy!

That's one heck of a job!

[KBOX007]

I love it! Broccoli & Wilson need to see this, that's how a Bond movie starts!

[DamnCoffee]

This is brilliant! The only gripe I have is that the gunbarrel looks a tad stretched. Other than that though, brilliant job and fantastic music!

[Chief of SIS]

Bloody brilliant

[Harry Fawkes]

Brilliant Rich. Best Bond opening I've seen in ages. I'm a fan of the Tim Dalton GB scenes and this one tops them!

[The Dove]

Now that is GREAT!! Nice job, Rich... That is EXACTLY the the style of Bond theme I'm hoping that Thomas Newman comes up with for the gunbarrel..

[Rich Douglas]

Thanks! Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Woahhh that's brill! Had to watch that a couple of times for impact!

The music after Bond shoots echoes 'Licence To Kill' for me...that dramatic, intense and action fulled Bond theme with a hint of menace!

I hope this is on the cards for 'Skyfall' Rich, cracking work!

[Harry Fawkes]

Fabulous music. Can't stop listening to it. Hope EON takes note. That's exactly the style of music I'd like to hear accompany the Gn Barrel.

That a wicked gun barrel!

Heres a thought, maybe they will do something like the gun barrel at the begining of the Blu Ray trailer. Probably not though but could be fun right?

[DamnCoffee]

I hope not. I just want a proper gunbarrel with Craig, walking and shooting and the blood drip at the start. It's been long enough. I cant wait for the official Gunbarrel music, though!

[S K Y F A L L]

I guess it wouldn't to be excitiing if they recycled it from the BluRay trailer, I think I would just like to see it again but with only one shot.

[Daddy Bond]

Either way, Rich, it is excellent! Listened to it about six times in a row!

[Mr Teddy Bear]

Nicely done! Took me a few listens to notice the Dr No homage - sneaky!

What's the homage?

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Wonderful job as usual Rich!!

[The Shark]

What's the homage?

The spooky early electronic sounds before the gunshot.

[Professor Dent]

Very nice. I like the scene after the gunbarrel opens.

[Janus Assassin]

Love it!. The music is outstanding, but I do hope they redo Craig's walk and gunshot pose for SF.

[S K Y F A L L]

How would any of you feel about having the bullet shot at us like in DAD? Is that something that could make a return? Great gun barrel Rich.

Great job, looks like the real one for SF
I hope it will be somehow like that!

[genuinefelixleiter]

I'm not sure what this conveys. Bond is back, for sure. Bond walks out of a long tunnel of light. Walking towards the future? Not bad, but not particularly inspired either. I give a solid"b".

[The Shark]

Bond returns to Skyfall estate. Note the gravel path and stone texture on the title.

[AMC Hornet]

Bond returns.

That's enough for me.

[Twingolot]

Thank you M. Douglas, great job as always. Just to precise something: I regularly go on your website's Bond theme - database, just to check out if any new theme has been created, so... Just continue composing! Do I need to add I do love your fan-work?

Speaking about Skyfall's gunbarrel, I saw you mentionned you would like to hear another Eric Serra-kind of music. Well, I have to say I was really disappointed by the poor use of the bond theme for the gunbarrel sequence at the time. To compare, I would prefere some Michael Kamen-like stuff. LTK's gunbarrel was as powerful as never before and that's what I expect for the Skyfall overture.
