When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
This is your typical James Bond movie with his spying on Russia and interacting with his superiors and lots of gorgeous girls (this time, though, they actually added some political correctness in the dialogue!), breathtaking and improbable stunts, spy devices,and great chases. Piece Brosnan was impressive in his first outing as Bond, and everything about this movie was first rate. Exciting with a good plot too! He was after a renegade spy satelite. If you are a Bond fan, you will love this movie. *** out of ****
The James Bond Franchise had a tough time around 1995. After the last (and bad) Roger Moore Movies in Octopussy (1983) and A View to A Kill (1985) and Toothy Dalton's box office fails (although Licence to Kill and The Living Daylights are strong movies) the series was on Ice for more than 5 years. But that shouldn't be the case as Pierce Brosnan debuted as Bond in a spectacular movie that blew everything away. Goldeneye is the third best James Bond Movie (after Goldfinger and Casino Royale), the pacing is spot on, the action scenes are amazing, the cast is excellent, all character get to shine and the story is unpredictable and fresh. Especially Famke Jannsen's Xenia Onatopp is one of the best hench(wo)men and Sean Bean could've had played James Bond himself, so he made a perfect 00-villain. From the exciting opening scene, to the aesthetic titles over to the dramatic climax, Goldeneye is an absolute blast! 10/10
The right of reality, to be treated with respect, is the same as the right of fantasy to be treated with disrespect. Reality getting to be taken seriously means that fantasy is permitted the right to be regarded as something that's nonsense. A disrespectful treatment, is the respect of no treatment. Fantasy's right to be given disrespectful treatment is the equivalent of fantasy having the right to the dignity of no treatment. Fantasy's right is not the same as fantasy, however: the right of fantasy is the illusion of fantasy, and it's a lack of right.The right of fantasy, is to possess the non-possession of the dignity of no treatment - to possess the impossible truth that it's possible to respectfully ignore something.It's an impossible reality, to have the power to ignore something and possess the experience in a dignified way. Ignoring something inevitably means an experience of disrespect.The impossible truth, that ignoring something can mean dignity is the illusion of fantasy - the reality of reality is therefore the opposite, being the ability to ignore something and let the experience have respect.To ignore something, is to know that something exists and yet let the existence be uninterrupted: letting the experience of letting the existence go uninterrupted have respect implies that the existence itself isn't meant to have respect.GoldenEye is perhaps an exceptionally intellectual film, as its style is concerned with the charisma of going out of one's way to save the experience of logical avoidance
Though there was nothing wrong with them the Timothy Dalton Bond films never really set the world alight, and with other films raising the bar for the genre, there was perhaps a feeling in 1995 that the Bond franchise had run out of steam.Thankfully Pierce Brosnan came in to steady the ship with this solid Bond film that reminded everyone what was good about the series, whilst also being a sort of 'best of' Bond, in terms of having qualities of those who had worn the famous tuxedo previously.It's a good film, full of big set pieces, and some nice quips from 007, but it's not likely to win in any 'best of the series' polls.
