Summary: Perfection?
Review: The ultimate entry in the series through its unique combination of inspiration and confidence. Arguably, this film offers the series' best villain (Auric Goldfinger) and henchman (Oddjob), three (!) compelling females as major characters, an inspired Sean Connery, and interesting gadgets that enhance, rather than overwhelm, the storyline. 10/10

Summary: THIS FILM IS PURE GOLD! MY FAVOURITE BOND FILM!!!
Review: Although both 1962's "Dr.No" and 1963's "From Russia With Love" were both successful James Bond outings at the box office, 1964's "Goldfinger" really made the series a smash hit! Bondmania spread throughout the world and the classic title track belted out by Shirley Bassey topped the charts in both the U.S. and U.K.. No doubt about it "Goldfinger" was a surefire hit film destined for greatness and since 1964 it seems that none of the other Bond films have surpassed it."Goldfinger" has everything the first two Bond adventures had. Awesome settings, colourful characters, an exciting plot, and several action sequences. Like "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger" also has exciting creative gadgets such as Oddjob's deadly hat, Goldfinger's powerful laser, and Bonds high tech Aston Martin. Connery's portrayal of Bond in this film is as witty and as fresh as ever. Foreign actor Gert Frobe plays the evil Auric Goldfinger with a bizarre menace and his evil henchman Oddjob (played by Harold Sakata) remains one of the most memorable Bond villians ever. The Bond girls in this movie are not as attractive as Honey Ryder or Tatiana Romanova from the two previous films. Personally I never liked Honor Blackman's portrayal of Pussy Galore she was just so evil and not very attractive (in my opinion). Cec Linder takes the spot of Felix Leiter over for Jack Lord (from Dr.No) and although Cec plays the role well, he is not better than Lord.
Of course Bernard Lee returns as M and Lois Maxwell as Ms.Moneypenny and Desmond Llewelyn returns as Q, only in this film he is called Q for the first time. Goldfinger's plot is very exciting. James Bond is sent to track down Auric Goldfinger and find out how his company, Auric Enterprises, is smuggling gold from country to country. When James uncovers Goldfinger's plan to raid Fort Knox and destroy the U.S Gold despository it is up to him toput a stop to Goldfinger's activites once and for all. Overall I think Goldfinger is the best Bond film ever made the plot is exciting, the characters are interesting and the action scenes are some of the best in any Bond film. The raid on Fort Knox and James' sneaking around scenesare a must for all 007 fans to see! Bottom line: Best Bond Film ever! Highly recommended!

Summary: A film with "the Midas touch".
Review: Though the 3rd of the series, this film launched James Bond into pop culture outer space. It came with the weapon outfitted Aston-Martin, a gold-happy villian,a hat throwing karate chopping henchman,a gold painted dead Bond girl, and another girl with a name that people whispered and giggled about in '65. A cover article in Life Magazine and a hit song by Shirley Bassey didn't hurt either. And then there's Sean. Sean trapped in the Fort Knox gold vaults with Oddjob and a ticking atomic device. Speaking of which the bomb originally stopped at 003 untill the producer got the great idea of stopping it at 007. However, Bond still says, "Another three clicks and Goldfinger would have hit the jackpot." This is the film that made me a Bond fan forever, thought OHMSS became my favorite. Enough said. See it. Love it. Live it.

Summary: Pure gold!
Review: This is definitely theeeeeee best James Bond thriller!
Made in 1964, director Guy Hamilton has assembled a
top notch cast around him, which performed each of
his character with abundance. First of all, there
is Connery who gives his best performance as 007,
he still feels comfortable in the role, Gert Fröbe
as Goldfinger has his career height, as the evil
mastermind Auric Goldfinger. Second, the leading
lady Honor Blackmann is a stunning entry in the
007 series. Set-designer Ken Adams surpassed
himself with the set design of the interior
of Fort Knox's Gold Vault.
Of course, the most interesting item in Goldfinger
is the Aston Martin DB5 with modifications.
And of course the man who made it all happen,
the always grouchy weapon expert "Q".
Goldfinger is the very best 007 movie who set
the tone for all other Bond films to follow,
it is a remarkable, outstanding, no-holds-barred,
action-adventure thriller which no other Bonds
could get even with...
The very best of'em all!!!!

Summary: "...one of the best movies ever made."
Review: Setting the gold (naturally) standard for every Bond film to follow, with the sexy title sequence, eye-poping action, beautiful women, and stupendous gadgets. Sean Connery is also great, delivering those marvelous witticisms with effervescent gusto. "Goldfinger" is also widely regarded the best of all the Bonds. But "Goldfinger" isn't just a great Bond film, it's one of the best movies ever made. "Goldfinger" is perhaps the most influential action film ever made, and unjustly ignored by critics, who usually pass it off as just a great Bond film, without recognizing the excellent qualities the film. The script is crackling, the direction is seamless and tight, the specail effects are amazing, the setpieces are marvelously extravegant, the music and Shirley Bassey's world-famous brassy title song are outstanding, and each performance is pitch-perfect. Even Oddjob, despite being mute, effects a most memorable presence. Production designer Ken Adam certainly outdoes himself. The sets are excellent. There's Goldfinger's infamous rumpus room, which transforms before the eyes of a bevy of crackpot gangsters, in one of the film's most inexplicably wonderful moments. Not much sense is made of this scene, as Goldfinger just gases them all right after explaining his nefariously outlandish intentions. Perhaps he just wanted to be able to show off all that neato equipment. Then there's the brilliantly constructed Fort Knox set, very plausible in its design--stacks of gold bars all caged up, all over the walls and floor, with a large elevator smack in the middle. Of course, then there's the iconic Aston Martin, easily the most famous car ever; fully loaded, with all the usual refinements, and an ejector seat! ("...you're joking.") There are countless memorable moments, it's hard to pick one as the best, which is another reason for the movie's exceeding popularity. Pussy Galore's delayed entry is one of the greatest ever, as Bond slowly focuses on her after waking up from being tranquilized. And then she perfectly delivers that wonderful line, "My name is Pussy Galore," to which Bond responds, "I must be dreaming." Honor Blackman is great here as the icey blonde, indeed the most memorable of Bond's leading ladies. Then there's the legendary laser sequece, with the beam slowling inching toward Bond's groin, as he lays upon a table of solid gold. His exchanges with Goldfinger are fantastic, with the movie's most memorable line: Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?" Goldinger: "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." The there's the fight with oddjob in Fort Knox, the Aston Martin chase through Auric Enterprises, and the delightful pre-credit sequence. So you see, "Goldfinger" is everything you could wish for in a movie, especially for an action movie. A legendary film, exciting and thrilling. Dripping with suspense, it ranks with such great thrillers as Hitchcock's "North by Northwest", and remains one of the most sheerly enjoyable films ever.

Summary: Do you expect me to talk about Goldfinger?
Review: This film is probably the best one, it ties with Roger Moore's Live and Let Die. The evil villain, Auric Goldfinger, is going to raid Fort Knox by spraying poisonous gas. He is going to use a bomb to make the gold there radioactive, it will destroy the economy! Connery, the most suave Bond ever, is sent to investigate and ends up getting captured. Along the way he meets Pussy Galore, and thanks to her, everyone knew what was coming! Oddjob is the second best henchman ever, behind Jaws. A must watch!!!!

Summary: Undoubtedly the best "official" Bond
Review: The Bond films, with Sean Connery in the title role, achieved perfection by the third film, Goldfinger. Dr. No was rough around the edges and not very interesting, but From Russia with Love was an excellent follow-up. By Goldfinger, all the pieces were in place for the best of the Saltzman-Broccoli Bond movies. The film is surprising in that it takes the original novel and improves on it rather than butchering it for the big screen (maybe the folks who do the Tom Clancy movies can learn a lesson from this.) The laser scene, which replaces the buzz saw from the novel, is now an immortal part of pop culture. EON Productions had finally mastered the pre-title sequence and the opening credits with this movie. You have a short but exciting scene that features explosions and a battle to the death, followed by one of the most powerful and unforgettable songs ever sung for a movie. Unlike the susbsequent Thunderball, Goldfinger's plot is short and concise. The movie just runs under two hours, and very little camera work is wasted on building mood or atmosphere. This movie is all fun. Gert Frobe puts on a great performance as the over-the-top villain, and Sean Connery is at his best. Honor Blackman puts on one of the best acting jobs by any Bond girl (although that's not a great feat.) Harold Sakai is impressive as the villainous Odd Job, making for a formidable foe that could not be matched until the introduction of Jaws in "The Spy Who Loved Me." If you have a Friday night with nothing to do, go out and rent or buy Goldfinger. It's a roller coaster of excitement.

Summary: Good Bond movie... maybe not great Bond movie
Review: Don't buy this for the hype... while its the best known Bond movie, it may not be the best. That honor goes to From Russia with Love. This movie lacks a bit of the style that one has, but still deserves 4.5 stars with its classic bond flair and panache. Sean Connery once again proves he's the best secret agent in the history of film, but its setting isn't as exotic and the action as intense as others in the series. Get the movie, enjoy the movie, but get the other connery Bond films to complement it.
