Summary: The best Bond film bar none!
Review: Connery returns in this third installment of Bond films and puts in a masterful performance as James Bond.

From beginning to end it is magnificent, seeing Bond blow, drive, smooch, charm and slap his way though what is arguably the best ever Bond film.

Gert Frobe is splendid as the evil, twisted Auric Goldfinger the international gold smuggler who wants it all - and appears in what must be two of the most tense moments in all the Bond movies - a round of golf at the historic Stoke Poges Golf Course and THAT scene with the Laser.

We've got the usual array of gadgets including the introduction of Bond's sleek Aston Marton DB5 Car complete with machine guns, oil slick, revolving number plates etc.

US (Korean Born) Olympic Wrestling Gold Medalist Harold Sakata takes on the mantle of Goldfinger's mute valet "Odd Job" who has a marvellous weapon (a steel rimmed bowler hat" which he uses to great effectiveness throughout the film.

Honor Blackman plays Pussy Galore the main love interest in the film and she doesn't disappoint putting in a fine performance.

If there is one criticism it is Cec Linder who plays Bond's CIA chum Felix Leiter, the character seems to be completely inept throughtout the film, which doesn't tally with Jack Lord's masterful performance of Leiter in Dr. No.

After all is said and done, this is a classic, and should not under any circumstances be missed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: bond at his best
Review: This is without a doubt the ultimate definitive James Bond movie.sean connery out does himself proving he is the best 007.M,Q,and Miss Moneypenny are all in fine form with bond having classic scenes with all of them.Particularly Q who introduces bond to the Aston Martin DB5 with modifications.On the villains side you have the best and most classic villains of the entire series.Gert Frobe is superbly fiendish as Auric Goldfinger.he has so many classic lines but his most famous not only in the film but in the entire Bond series is "do you expect me to talk" "no Mr Bond i expect you to die".frobe really presents the quintessential bond villain who brushes off all 007,s attempts to thwart him,hes simply magnifecent in the role.I just cant give him enough praise.As for his henchmen wrestler Harold Sakata enjoys fleeting screen fame by making the mute Korean OddJob a henchman fraught with menace.His fanatical loyalty to Goldfinger is admirable as he was willing to die in the vaults of fort knox so Goldfingers plan would succeed.He is goldfingers caddy,chauffer,bodyguard and personal henchman who makes him the perfect match to the evil Goldfinger and the best henchman in the entire Bond series with a very deadly bowler hat.As for the women,honor black as pussy galore is one of the most beautiful and confident of the bond women.Rather than follow bond around like a love sick puppy pussy tells bond shes immune to his charms and she even uses her judo on him to keep him in line.Of course they do eventually have a roll in the hay literally.Shirley Eaton plays the tragic Jill Masterson who falls victim to Goldfingers rage for betraying him by being painted gold and dying of skin suffocation.this image caused a rage in the sixties and even today her horrible death remains one of the most memorable images in any movie.the exciting climax in fort knox is truely fantastic,here we see bond battle ferociosly with oddjob and save the countrys gold supply within seconds of the bomb detonation.In conclusion GOLDFINGER is the best James Bond movie which ranks as the finest in the series and there is no competition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hereis the song I mentioned
Review: Goldfinger. He's the man, the man with the midas touch. A spider's touch. Such a cold finger. Beckons you to enter his web of sin But don't go in.

Golden words he will pour in your ear, But his lies can't disguise what you fear, For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her, It's the kiss of death from

Mister Goldfinger. Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold This heart is cold.

Golden words he will pour in your ear, But his lies can't disguise what you fear, For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her, It's the kiss of death from

Mister Goldfinger. Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold This heart is cold.

He loves only gold, Only gold. He loves gold. He loves only gold, Only gold. He loves gold.

This and On her Majesty's secret service are amongst the greatest movies of all time anywhere on earth

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a dialogue!
Review: Auric Goldfinger: "Man has climbed Mount Everest, gone to the bottom of the ocean. He's fired rockets at the Moon, split the atom, achieved miracles in every field of human endeavor... except crime!"

The ace vilain DID NOT deserve to be blown out of a narrow plane window. Compare his dialogue with his business guests "what is this?" "I don't like it"

The title song is one of the most famous of any english movie, clearly AN ACE

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die'
Review: The third 007 outing slickly distils all the requisite Bond components, with Connery reaching the height of his suave, seductive powers, Frobe's ruthless, amoral villian, Blackman's feisty glamour (and splendid innuendo) and a silver Aston Martin DB5 equipped with passenger side ejector seat. The finale inside Fort Knox is the best of the series. Oh yeah, I nearly forgot the best bit with James Bond spread out on a table with a rather hot laser heading toward the Bond family jewels.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A classic Bond film
Review: Goldfinger has all the elements of a classic Bond film: A clever villan, a super-strong Korean henchman, beutiful women, and some of the best Bond gadgets ever made. It is a wonderful movie with a 50s detective story feel to it.

Rating: 5 stars
