Summary: Good Fun
Review: I love Brosnan as Bond! As usual, beautiful women, good action. It could have been better at times, but I would see it if I were you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pierce Brosnan's best 007! A worothy entry!
Review: Pierce Brosnan makes his first appearance as 007, as the franchise returns after 6 years. This is a wonderful Bond film. Maybe one of the best! Bond and his partner 006 are raiding a Russian chemical plant. 007 thinks 006 is killed but he was really a trader. 9 years later Bond discovers a plot that involves 006. The plot is to target cities with the Goldeneye satalite and hold the cities for ransom(big surprise!). Alec Trevelyn(006) is the man behing the villiany. This Bond outing is much different from the older ones. It has much more violence and uses a different format. Even none Bond fans will enjoy! Rated PG-13 for violence, sexual situations, and sexual content.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Bond movie
Review: I have seen this movie several times and I am convinced. This is the best Bond movie hands down. The action is great, the women are both believable and the locations amazing. The story is very good, too, just so long as you pay attention. Dont miss this one. Bond has never been so good.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A nice try, But...........
Review: When Bond ended his "Licence To Kill" film, it looked like the end for him. In 1995 he returned in the guise of Pierce Brosnan. There is one fundimental problem here, Brosnan just couldn match Timothy Dalton's Bond, as an actor, Brosnan simply isnt in the same class. So we start of with this problem, only to find that the "New Look" Bond is little more than an excersize in political correctness. Judy Dench arrives as the "Token Female Management" and starts going on about Bond being a cold war relic (talk about the pot calling the kettle......). There is a good story here and Sean Bean is a super villan, but the series was dealt a mortal blow by the loss of Dalton, and Brosnan is amiable and of course a favourite with the ladies, but just doesnt have the ability to pull it off, condeming the series to being a minefield of special effects and stunts, poor storylines and weak acting. Despite having said this, I enjoyed the film, Brosnan looked the part, but he tries to be too Roger Moore at times and it just doesnt work!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Goldeneye
Review: Goldeneye is one of the better Bond films to come out in a long time. As with all my favorite Connery ones, Goldeneye has an interesting story, good villians, and tons of action. The only real problem with this film is that too much of it is spent introducing Pierce Brosnan as Bond. He obviously is a good actor and does a good job and I don't think it is really neccesary for the script to but so much emphasis on "the new Bond". Overall it's still a great movie and way better than any of the Moore ones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very high-class stuff
Review: From the snowy wastes of Arctic Siberia, to the tropical Caribbean, passing by the usual Bond stopovers of Monte Carlo, London and St. Petersburg, this is another classic in a long line of fine films. I suppose I was converted to James Bond at such a young age that I can forgive the modern movies their obvious shortcomings: too much firepower, just a few too many explosions. Yet there is much else in this typical Bond thriller besides exploding pens, Aston Martins and the latest hi-tech gadgets (including something which serves to date the film already, the Internet).

Another extraordinary thing about the Bond films is the ability of the producers to find just the right type to play James himself. It reminds me of another British series, Doctor Who, which appeared on television for many years. The actor in the main role changed five or six times, but each time, the new Doctor was an acceptable replacement for the last. So it is with the Bond movies. Who could argue that, even though Sean Connery and Roger Moore were magnificent, Pierce Brosnan is not, now, just as fine an interpreter of the role.

"Goldeneye" is a great story, has lots of surprises and is altogether very high-class stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Goldeneye Rules!
Review: Goldeneye rules, a movie with a lot of action and excitment, more explosions than Tomarow Never Dies and more action than Dr.No and a great villian, Alec Treveliyan, ranking #2 on my favorite villian list behind Fransisco Scarinova From The Man With The Golden Gun

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bond Proves Worthy of The 90's
Review: Pierce Brosnan's debut as James Bond 007 is excellent. It grabs the viewer immediately, as Brosnan,and Sean Bean are faced with Gottfried John's Colonel Ouromov. Of course, Bond comes out victorious, and we hear the theme belted out by Tina Turner. Then nine years later, we find 007 up to his usual tricks. He then meets Xenia Onatopp, our femme fatale, who always enjoys a good squeeze. M is portrayed by Dame Judi Dench, who is excellent. The movie then carries us to Cuba, where 006 is plotting world-wide fianancial meltdown via the computer. Bond, of course, defeats his onetime ally, saves the world, and gets the girl. All of the usual elements are added to make this a fine Bond film, with all the right stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Action Movie
Review: "Goldeneye" is a fantastic movie. Another 'James Bond' thriller. Pierce Brosnan stars in another 'James Bond' movie. "Goldeneye" is also a great Nintendo 64 game. Five stars for a great action movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally...!
Review: When it was originally announced that Pierce Brosnan would replace Roger Moore as agent 007, I was a bit perplexed. How could this skinny little comic actor even begin to restore the ragged Bond series? As it turned out, fate played a favourable part in the Brosnan/Bond saga. By the time Brosnan was able to accept the role, he was more than ready. After seeing him in "The Fourth Protocol", I knew that this man was deep and, even more importantly, could be quite believably menacing. Fate did us all a very good turn indeed with the casting of Brosnan in Goldeneye, but that's not all. Most of the elements that made Bond great in the sixties returned, complete with a modern look that succeeded where the Bond films of the eighties had not. It was an absolute stroke of genius to have the plot of Goldeneye build a bridge between the Russia of the Cold War and the thieve's paradise of today's former USSR. This brilliantly scripted movie lets James Bond thrive in his natural element without dating him a bit.

Brosnan is a revelation (I think that I nearly wept with joy and relief at his riveting performance) as is Samantha Bond as Moneypenny and, surprisingly, Dame Judi Dench as M. The presence of Bond's literary cohort Bill Tanner is inspired, as well.

As the next two Bond features would prove, the current James Bond cinema machine would more than heal the damage done in the seventies and eighties to the super spy juggernaut. As another added plus, there are not one but two truly memorable female leads in Goldeneye. All of this while sacrificing not one bit of blessed political incorrectness. This film is exactly what was needed to restore faith to the faithful, if you know what I mean.
