Summary: Everything a Bond fan could want.
Review: In as few words as possible. This is what Goldfinger has.1. Goldfinger effectively played by Gurt Forbey, and makes him one of the best bond villians ever.2. The Aston Martin. Q out did himself with that car and it's gadgets.3. Pussy Galore as played by Honor Blackman, which was one of the more formitable and beautiful women James ever romanced in the Sean Connery films.4. Sean Connery giving one of his best James ond performances ever.This says it all.

Summary: goldfinger is pure gold
Review: Goldfinger is the 2nd best in the bond series a little behind from russia with love. The first to use American settings being Miami and Kentucky is a great memorial of the time period. The films teaser with the belly dancer is to be rememberd, a beautifull lady from from russia with love in another role here. This is a different bond movie than the first 2. Connery is more comical and more daring with the beautifull ladies most of all Shirley Eaton in her bathing suit, such a sexy lady and sexy voice, love her facial reactions and grin. The lady pilots are beautifull and Guy Hamilton directs his first and best bond film. Goldfingers obsession with gold, money, power, selfishness and other unconcern for people to the point of killing his own workers to save himself makes him the best villian. The golf scene is one of the best of the series and the recording on this scene with nature and sounds on the golf course, listen to the birds, is perfect in its display. Also to be rememberd are the Swiss alps, the 1964.5 mustang, the maps and figures of fort knox as well as the digital timer on the bomb at fort knox.

Summary: One of the best Bond movies
Review: I think this is one of the greatest Bonds ever! It starts off with Bond putting a time bomb in a secret lab filled with nitroglyceren. His main villan is Auric Goldfinger, who has a grandiose plan named Operation Grand Slam, which works like this: Goldfinger puts a bomb in Fort Knox so the gold is radioactive and the value goes up 10 times. Also, you meet Oddjob, who has a hat like a throwing knife. As I said, it's a great movie overall.

Summary: "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"
Review: This movie is a phenomenon! Most 007 buffs rate this masterpiece as their favorite. I love it! The teaser opens up with a "shocking" explosion and attacks. Enter Shirley Bassey with her first of 3 Bond songs that explodes on to the screen with expertice. Probably the best and most evil villian of the bunch also. The sidekick is a mute Korean, Oddjob. His hat is deadlier than anything else. The bond girl is Pussy Galore, leader of Mr. Goldfinger's flying cicus. Magnificent ending at a battle to stop a nuclear bomb in Fort Knox! I have seen this movie 213 times and it rightly earns and deserves a 6 out of a 5!!!

Summary: My name is Pussy Galore....
Review: In the third Bond outing, the ante (and the budget) was upped to produce one of the best in the franchise. With incredible locations, great casting, particuarly with Gert Frobe as the title character and Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman).Guy Hamilton's direction of Bond no.3 is a touch lighter than Terrance Young's on Dr No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963) and the story may be a bit on the fantastical side with an atttack on Fort Knox, however this is minor carping, as the film is near flawless, and Connery, as always, as the main attraction of the early Bond films is as charming and debionaire as ever, letting the sucsess of Goldfinger prompt the filmmakers to move forward with more of Flemming's novels...

Summary: AMAZING
Review: Goldfinger is such an amazing movie. Every scene is worth watching. The actors are top notch, as well as everything else. The story takes a break from the usual SPECTRE fare, and we meet gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger and his assistant, Oddjob. We also have the best Bond girl, Pussy Galore. Connery gives his second best preformance as 007, only to "From Russia With Love". This one's my second favorite, only to FRWL.

Summary: Set the Standard.
Review: Though both DR. NO and FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE were successful films, it wasn't until GOLDFINGER that James Bond became a national phenomena and that the James Bond franchise truly began.

Most Bond fans claim that GOLDFINGER is the best Bond picture ever made. This is arguable. However, make no doubt, GOLDFINGER set the standard that all other Bond pictures are measured against. The movie has great villians, Goldfinger and his henchman sidekick Oddjob who wears a deadly derby; three beautiful babes, including the man-hating Pussy Galore; super gadgets such as the sharp Aston Martin; one of the closest calls with death Bond ever receives; a climatic showdown that begins at Fort Knox and ends over 1,500 feet above the Earth; and the second appearance of Q (he is called Q for the first time). They don't get much better than this.

Summary: "Goldfinger" Shines!
Review: Is GOLDFINGER the best of all the James Bond movies? Arguably yes. DR. NO and FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE are better "espionage" thrillers, and THUNDERBALL and several others make better use of their locations. Honor Blackman, as Pussy Galore, has the best one-liner of any Bond Girl, but she is also the least feminine Bond Girl ever (except for Grace Jones, as Mayday, who makes Ms. Blackman seem like a blushing debutante).

GOLDFINGER achieves a perfect mix of all the "Bond elements" of action, adventure, style, girls, gadgets, and camp, to be the most memorable of the series.

The film flows seamlessly. We KNOW that Shirley Bassey's musical warning,"Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold" is for the unlucky Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton), whose gold-paint-covered body provided one of the most dramatic pop-culture images of the 60's. And we can accept the (otherwise ridiculous) idea that a fat man with a laser, a solid gold Rolls, and an atomic bomb is planning to rob Fort Knox in the company of his mute Korean Chauffeur who can crush golf balls in his fists and decapitate statues with his razor-rimmed bowler hat.

Camp is like Tabasco. You need just the right amount. The comedy in GOLDFINGER never detracts from the drama. The silly Chauffeur is a stone killer, and the movie never lets you forget it. The fat man may be a gentleman on the golf links, but he doesn't expect Bond to talk, he expects him to die, after all. You might chuckle at the repartee, but in the end you cheer when Goldfinger gets his.

Sean Connery's martini dry wit is never more evident and never more effective than in this picture:

"Champagne without ice? My dear girl, that's as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs."

Rightfully so, this picture is considered an early "peak" in the Bond canon. Not until Pierce Brosnan has anyone else come close to capturing Connery's off the cuff wit and inbred grace.

This is the first great Bond "gadget" movie. It stars the Aston Martin DB5 "with modifications" that became the most famous car in the world. Like the camp humor, the gadgets add to the movie.

Sadly, that can't be said of many later Bond films (particularly some of the Roger Moore films), which became self-consciously campy and overgadgeted in bad attempts to recapture the onscreen magic of this definitive picture.

This one's golden!
