Summary: Exellent plot BUT TERRIBLE James Bond-actor...
Review: This movie has a great plot, good villains, nice stunts and so on(great Bond girls of course)... The ONLY THING that makes this movie all go wrong is the fact that bringing that stupid and weak actor Brosnan to the role! How in the world do you bring such as nice and serious actor like Dalton, and then bring this awful actor to the role? He gives nothing but SHAME to the James Bond Charachter! If it wouldn`t for Brosnan, i would have given this film a 5 star rating instead of 1! Brosnan is nothing but an utter disgrace!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I know James Bond
Review: I have seen each and every James Bond movie since Dr No was a theatrical release. I am student of the Bond mystique. This is very close to being the best Bond movie in a long long time. It is tempting to compare the potrayals done by Connery, Moore, Lazenby, Dalton and Brosnan,but that would be a mistake. Ditto trying to compare styles of movie making form present to past. The attratcion of James Bond, is that Bond is on the edge, the original action hero. Characters, stories and expectation evolve constantly. Comparing Goldeneye to Live and Let Die, OR Thunderball is not a good basis for judging this movie. Movies reflect our societal tastes, expectations and dreams. Bond represents what we all wish we could be, and that is a reflection of today. In this light I have to say the Brosnan excels as Bond and Goldeneye introduces the Bond msytique to a while new generation. Bond endures because Bond always addresses that. We change the world changes and 007 changes. This is an excellent Bond film, true to the concept of Bond as is Brosnan. Buy the DVD, excellent sound, first rate transfer quality, and 5.1 sound. Cannot beat it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: GREAT PLOT, BAD ENDING
Review: Dont get me wrong. I loved this movie. The only things i would have changed would be that Boris should not have died. & Alec Trevelyn (006) shouldnt have died and should have killed Bond and started his own series. NO ONE WOULD EXPECT THAT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie will blow your mind
Review: This movie rocks, starting with the jump off the bridge. Then there is the motorcycle-to-plane, while keeping the same bond wit, that hasn't been seen since connory. I really like how it ends and how the girl isn't a bimbo(seeing bond as a man who can't do everything and has emotions really turned this movie in to a keeper). I also believe the plot setting is up there with "goldfinger". I think that the chase near the beginning could have been better but what are you going to do. The evil girl getting pleasure from killing was a nice touch and having a pretty realistic plot, made the story line flow that much more easily. The female and incredible gadgets add for a few surpries that you don't see in other bond flicks. Go rent/buy this movie as soon as you can!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pierce Brosnan Debuts as Bond
Review: It is diffcult to argue with success and Pierce Brosnan'sdebut as James Bond, after the character's 6 year absence from the screen, made more money than any of the previous Bonds (although perhaps not in 60s dollars).

Every Bond actor seems to bring something to the role. Connery, of course, was the epitome of 60s cool. Dalton had Connery's determination, Moore his sense of comic delivery - even Lazenby brought a physicality to the role. Brosnan moves extremely well, too, and I suppose is the cloest thing to the well-rounded Connery interpretation, although I am not a great Brosnan fan.

My big problem with this film (besides the music) is the screenplay. So many of what are supposed to be witty remarks make no sense as replies to Bond (Example - Bond: What would I do without you, Moneypenny? Moneypenny: As far as I can remember, you've never had me. - This seems a ridiculous thing to say when someone is complimenting you.) And I don't like how the "9 years later" legend on the screen seems to invalidate the Dalton films. And that opening stunts. Other Bond stunts may be implausible, but skydiving after a plane that's jist gone off a cliff??

While I am happy the filmmakers try to tell us something new about Bond (that reference to Bond's parents is a first for the series and right out of Fleming), this idea of 006 being Bond's best friend, No, no - the 00s never work together. Never. MI6 could not afford to lose 2 high caliber agents at the same time. It is good to see the character of Chief of Staff Bill Tanner (previously in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and FOR YOUR EYES ONLY) included.

This special DVD is really the same as the previous laserdisc release, but since it is supposed to be "special" it would have been nice if photos of Brosnan being on the set of FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (his wife was in that film) had been included. It also would have been nice if Brosnan's Diet Coke commercials, obviously Bond themed and airing when he lost the role in 1986 to Timothy Dalton, could have been included.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Movie!!
Review: We thought this movie was one of the best Bonds ever! I always thought Pierce Brosnan would make a superb Bond, and we weren't disappointed. Judi Dench is a magnificent M, but, I must admit, my favoprite character in the movie was Sean Bean's bad guy. He was absolutely chilling, and really stole the show in a few palces. He could do Bond himself, he's got that bad boy kind of look. And the theme song for this bond, done by Tina Turner, was the best one since Goldfinger.(Eartha Kitt?) Definitely but his movie and put it in a prominent place on your shelf. And also, the main female character wasn't a stupid bimbo! Very well done.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bond is back!!! YEAH!!!!!
Review: Not the greatest (I still have trouble with the villain's plan and the darker feel to the film) but definately makes up for the long wait and the last disaster for a Bond movie. Pierce basically strolls into the roll, no problem, combining Moore and Connery and adding his own twist. Way to go Pierce!! Trust me, I was disappointed when Dalton won the role over him years ago, but I'm glad he finally had the chance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Pretty Cool DVD
Review: In response to the previous reviewer, yes, 12 TV ads, and 2 theatrical trailers are included. It also includes a "World of James Bond" special hosted by Elizabeth Hurley (which I recall aired on FOX the week this film was released), 2 or 3 behind the scenes documentaries, director's commentary, and the Tina Turner music video. Definitely a keeper for any James Bond fan. "Goldeneye" is probably my favorite Bond film of all time.
