no other review talk about the missing gunbarrel so that something......

[Matt_13]

Seriously though...Did they really kick the gunbarrel out of the beginning? There was kickback for it last time, wasn't there?

I am looking forward to the Empire review,

Wasn't sold on the Sun one - seemed like something written before the event.

I've seen one tweet saying there was a gunbarrel, and two tweets saying there was no gunbarrel at the start.

I am looking forward to the Empire review,

Me too. Also The Times' five star review. That's no mean feat.

Not spoilerish but there were certainly a couple of small details I wasn't familiar with, so be cautious if don't want to pick up on a few character details, especially about Bardem.

Ah, i must see the Film, now!!!!!

[DamnCoffee]

I bet they've put it before the title sequence.

I reckon they'll take their time; they usually do. I don't expect it tonight.

Well we know there is a gunbarrel as we've seen it already. But as to where it goes...

It wouldn't really make sense there at all. I think it's at the end.

[Matt_13]

It was a press screening. Meant for film reviewers. It's generally seen as an act of confidence.

Yep, sorry, I hadn't read it before posting. I've added a warning note now.

When have we've seen it?

I must've missed something haven't I?

[marktmurphy]

How are people able to review a movie that hasn't even been released yet?

Is that a serious question?

[Jeao007]

A pre-screening for some of those in the press.

Very disappointed with the apparent lack of gunbarrel opening. I was along for the ride for kicking out the traditional gunbarrel in Casino, grudgingly went along with it for the end placement for Quantum, and was sure it would be back in its rightful place for Craig's third outing (fully-fledged Bond, 50th anniversary). Its actually put a bit of a downer on it for me. Its like a Star Wars movie not opening with the theme tune and scrolling text...

There's a shot of Craig filming it in a behind the scenes vid, and the scene itself (with pre-1995-style graphics) appears in the TV ad for Adele's song.

A surprisingly pleasant night this.

Just been playing squash, been for a few drinks and now reading all of the superlatives about something of which we have been closely tracking for a couple of years.

I realise I am too old for this, but still - a totally undeserved sense of pay-off for some reason.

Very happy for the film makers. Totally ing psyched for me.

It's right at the start in the Bond On Set book.

Gunbarrel confirmation:

@NickSetchfield
* It's there - just wrong place...
* It's in there, but not where it needs to be!

@Krizanovich
* It closes with it...

Ok - cool.

The Times review - pay wall

Does anyone have a subscription for behind the pay wall? It's a five star review.

This is such a minor thing, but I really wish they'd stop toying with the gunbarrel.

[x007AceOfSpades]

If it's tied into the title sequence that's fine I guess. But seriously, just leave it at the beginning.

Everyone who's said they want Christopher Nolan to make a Bond film: boy oh boy, are you gonna LOVE Skyfall.

Karen Krizanovich ‏@Krizanovich
#SKYFALL could be the best modern Bond #film ever. It is at least the best modern Bond yet. Low on sex, high on smarts, huge on excitement
I am a Bond fan anyway, but this... this... I just wasn't prepared for something this good.
One of the best twists - and I am not going to give this away either - is at the end... the years of longing have been erased #Skyfall
Roger Deakins ASC BSC makes #Skyfall in Shanghai look like a clean Bladerunner - so incredibly beautiful you are lost in wonder of the image
This has to be the first franchise reboot that doesn't involve changing the actor or the idea. They just made Bond BETTER #Skyfall
Sam Mendes, if you don't get a knighthood, then something's terribly wrong #Skyfall.

Agreed. I feel a little silly for letting such a small thing annoy me, but its part of the magic of Bond, and doesn't need to be messed with. Did EON learn nothing from QoS?

I've got to say, this has taken a little of the shine off my anticipation.
