Pros: Plenty of Bond stunts and explosions that will keep your eyes peeled to the screen. Cons: Mindless racy action may not be for all.
GoldenEye (1995), starts off with James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) rapelling off of long damn like structure dressed in a black paratrooper outfit at the Arkengel Chemical Weapons Plant Facility in the USSR. Bond drills through the ...

Pros: Terrific stunts, and good secondary characters. Cons: The product placement issue.
... or the Selling of 007 once again...
I'm one of those odd fans of the Bond franchise. I came to it from the books by Ian Fleming, not from the films, so when I did finally get around to watching the movies, it was a bit of a...

Pros: almost everything Cons: plot lacks(common in most Bond Movies)
Well I was hanging around Wal-Mart one fine day while my parents were having the oil changed, and I made my way from sports apparel, to the magazine stand, to the PS2 and Gamecube games, and finally over to the movies. I looked at the newer movies...

by metalluk - Top 100, Dec 02 '05
Pros: Somewhat humanized Bond, Dench as M, some good action, some thematic depth, drama and humor Cons: One cartoonish action scene, weak score, perverse linking of sex and violence, few cool gadgets
I'm not generally a fan of straight action films. I don't care much for the Die Hard series or most of what Schwarzenegger does (on or off the screen). I gather from what I've read from other reviewers that a pretty fair piece of the audience ...

Pros: Good action, Brosnan is a good Bond. Cons: Goes overboard at times, weak theme song.
The James Bond films have always been distracted to an extent by the James Bond formula, yet when done right they don't let the distraction sidetrack the movie. Goldeneye is one case that didn't get it quite right. The film as a whole is fun to watch; yet ...

by badbonz0007 - Top 500, May 01 '08
Pros: Excitement and gadgets galore, special effects, especially. Cons: Violence, some nudity and language to beware of.
Goldeneye is number 17 movie of the James Bond series. So who do they pick to play James Bond, none other than the debonair Pierce Brosnan. This would be the first of several movies that Pierce Brosnan does as James Bond. As usual, his movies take him ...

Pros: more modern Bond, good pacing Cons: small continuity errors
It's been six years since 1989's License to Kill and that suave British secret agent is back and, compared to the before mentioned movie, a lot better than ever. A new actor brings the super spy to life in 1995's GoldenEye . I would ...

Pros: Brosnan, Janssen, Baker, Coltrane, song, tank Cons: Cast, characters, length, score, locations, Russkies again?
The plot? Secret Agent James Bond (who now looks and acts a lot like Remington Steele) beds a few chicks and saves the day from a crazy terrorist, all in the name of Her Majesty’s Secret Service. OK, so you want to know the specifics...geez, you people ...

Pros: Pierce Brosnan fits the 007 role like a glove. Cons: The screenwriters want to psycho analyze Bond and that's a big mistake.
Directed By Martin Campbell. Written By Bruce Fierstein and Jeffrey Caine Pierce Brosnan (James Bond) Sean Bean (Alec Trevelyan/Janus) Izabella Scorupco ...

Pros: Martin Campbell, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, depth of story and characters, score Cons: nothing
In the early 90s, James Bond was wrapped up in a legal battle which kept the agent out of action for 6 years. When he was finally free on all entanglements, the producers were faced with a series of questions and options. All attempts to distance Bond...

by thegsrguy , Dec 30 '07
Pros: Newly remastered, believable villains, strong performance from Brosnan Cons: None really
In my opinion, GoldenEye is the last of the great Bond films. Everything following this film seemed to journey too far from Ian Fleming's original style; hence my comment that it's the "last great Bond film." GoldenEye brought us a new James Bond in ...

Pros: Pierce Brosnan, Xenia Onatopp, the tank chase and Judi Dench as M Cons: Far too gung-ho, James Bond is not Rambo
“Goldeneye” is a very successful James Bond film. It is not classic Bond, it doesn’t have you back at the cinema’s paying your money to see it twice – but it works well. Mainly due to Pierce Brosnan acting his little heart out and the absence of 007 for...

Pros: A great start for Brosnan Cons: Far too predictable
Do you remember the old days? When going to the pictures cost two bob, and the lady who sold the tickets in the booth didn’t ask for your age, and James Bond was played by a Scottish bloke who spelt his first name funny so that it looked like it should...

Pros: All the Bond essientals, and an Inspired Brosnan performance Cons: Horrid Score, Machine Gun reliance
GoldenEye is the Bond film of a generation, the first one I ever saw, and a downright classic to me. Everything works with this film. It has one of the series best, if not the best villian, the best debut for a Bond actor through Pierce Brosnan, a great...
