Summary: Another great VHS upgrade
Review: This new version comes with quite a few extras that adds to the film, including the trailers which are awesome. My only complaint is that the Menu Select screen is difficult to navigate otherwise 5 stars.A great movie for the James Bond purist. Darin

Summary: The Best Connery Bond
Review: This is my favorite film featuring Sean Connery as Bond, and also a big favorite among us die-hard Bond fans. Auric Goldfinger is one of the best Bond villians and that role was superbly played by Gert Frobe. The plot, involving Goldfinger's plan to destroy Fort Knox, was a rather good one for an old film such as this one. Also, Pussy Galore was quite a Bond girl--my favorite of the 60's bonds. Sean Connery is also of course THE Bond actor (although my personal favorite is Roger Moore). Bravo!

Summary: The Bond of All Bonds, a True Blockbuster
Review: "Goldfinger" is the first James Bond film to become a true blockbuster. After the first two 007 films, this third Bond adventure cemented forever the style and fun of the series. Sean Connery is the classic action hero this time. He gives Bond an invulnerable twinkle this time and gives the character many comic touches which lets the audience know that he's having fun. What makes this Bond effort much more fun than the previous two films and the many after it, is the producers' effort to focus on a very inventive plot rather than the cold war espionage which was so effective in "From Russia With Love", and a memorable villian. Much of the success of a particular Bond film has a lot to do with the villian in that installment. The villian must be a challenge for Bond, and maybe even smarter. Goldfinger is the best villian of the Bond series. He's incredibly inventive, rich beyond our wildest imaginations, greedy, intent on world dominance, a sore loser, and a cheater at golf. Much of the success of this film has to do with this character, so much in fact that many Bond films afterward have had a villian very close to Goldfinger's describtion, especially in the Roger Moore era. Goldfinger wouldn't be a great Bond villian if he didn't have a wild scheme for domination of the world. Goldfinger's scheme is so preposterous that if this weren't a Bond film we wouldn't buy it, but it works very well. Connery's Bond is so busy fighting deadly assasins and escaping deadly traps in this installment that the movie almost feels like a roller coaster event film. Bond's quips and amusement with the events in the film make the film more entertaining than it would be if he were playing it completely straight. "Goldfinger" has the best villian in the series and has been the blueprint for many Bond films since but the fun and humor here is genuine. I don't think Bond has had a better time since.

Summary: Pure Gold ----- A Phenomenal DVD Package !!
Review: A phenomenal DVD package! In addition to a beautiful widescreen print of the most famous Bond film, you also get a DVD loaded with enough extras to keep you busy for days on end. For starters, you get a pair of entertaining audio commentaries, two very informative documentaries --"The Making of Goldfinger" and "The Goldfinger Phenomenom", dozens of still photos and the original preview trailers. Whew!! Wouldn't it be great if all DVDs were as loaded as "Goldfinger". The film itself is not only the best known of all the Bonds, it is quite simply the Grandaddy of all Action Flicks. While "From Russia with Love" (1963) is technically a better movie (stronger plot, impeccable cast,etc.), "Goldfinger" blasted the Bond series into the Stratosphere when released in '64. Hollywood, of course, caught a severe case of Spy Fever and immediately spewed out a succession of imitations.("Matt Helm", "Our Man Flint" and the "Man From U.N.C.L.E.") But "Goldfinger", with its rogues gallery of cartoonish villains, beautiful women, and mindblowing gadgets--most notably the Aston Martin DB 5 "with modifications" --- set the precedent for all that followed. Of course, the film stars the invincible Sean Connery, who was absolutely born to portray the World's Greatest Spy. Sean hits his stride in "Goldfinger", but he's not alone. Gert Frobe nearly steals the show with his over the top portrayal of the title character. No Bond villain has ever come close to Frobe's gold-thirsty meglomaniac.(Observe the documentaries or listen to the commentaries and you'll be stunned to learn that Frobe spoke little English and therefore had his lines dubbed!) Harold Sakata's Oddjob, with his deadly bowler hat, is the series' greatest henchman. Honor Blackman is truly mesmerizing in the role of Pussy Galore. (The name was almost changed to suit American audiences!) Ironically, Shirley Eaton, who had less than 10 minutes of screen time, provides one of the most everlasting images in film history. Eaton plays Jill Masterson the famous golden girl, whose semi-nude body sprayed with gold paint from head to toe, stunned film goers in '64. And last, but not least, is Shirley Bassey who belts out the most memorable of all Bond songs. What a performance! Bassey doesn't merely sing, she growls with passion. "Goldfinger" has aged remarkably well. Younger fans, who have grown up with the Brosnan films, will probably be satisfied with "Goldfinger's" generous action quotient. Truly a groundbreaking film (in the action genre), "Goldfinger" is a fantastic DVD package that no Bond fan should be without.

Summary: !! Sean Connery is the only one James Bond !!
Review: Forget about Brossnan and Moore (who cares Lazenby). Sean Connery is the only one James Bond . I have the complete collection about Bond Movies (include the non-official Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again ) and Goldfinger is the ultimate Bond Movie. If you look for Adventure, Action, Girls and Secret Agent Movie, ! This is the Movie !

Summary: "Good, but not the best"
Review: This film is probably the most famous and popular of all bond films. No doubt a good movie, but not nearly as good as Thunderball. Goldfinger is a little overated. Pussy Galore is awsome, one of the best bond girls. We will never forget odd-job either. The story is o.k. but has a hard time keeping my attention towards the end of the film. This film also lacks some of the humor compared to other bond films. Still an enjoyable bond film, but not the best.

Summary: "I'm beginning to like you, Mr. Bond."
Review: "Moonraker" was the first 007 espionage flick I viewed. To say the least, it wasn't impressive. "Goldfinger", the third installment in James Bond series and the second I've ever seen, certainly lives up to it's commendable reputation. The DVD does the film splendid justice with it's slew of extras including several documentaries, a still gallery, radio spots, TV spots, original theatrical trailer, and much more. When you add in the incredible interactive menu, you've got a package sure to please. Auric Goldfinger, the top bad guy in the film, is supposedly one of the best James Bond villains, and I can believe it. His gang of dangerous henchmen and co-villains certainly give an impressive feeling. As always, there are countless new gadgets, including the Aston Martin DB5, one of the most famous cars ever made. Many action sequences make the pace of the movie fast and entertaining, while still adding in a few scenes of explanation for good measure. Connery is much better as the suave secret agent than Roger Moore from "Moonraker". He seems calmer and more sophisticated than the man who would later replace him as special agent 007. "Goldfinger" is a classic, not only for Bond fans, but for the genre of action films itself. My faith has been restored in the series, and I hope the next film I plan to view, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", will be just as good as this one. I can now say with all honesty, "I'm beginning to like you, Mr. Bond."

Summary: Bond at his Best
Review: Goldfiner is truly the best Bond film ever made. The third Bond film made, Goldfinger combines all of the best things from Bond films in one great movie. Sean Connery's performance as Bond is excellent (as it always is). This is also Q's first big movie. Bond gets his best car (a 1964 Aston Martin DBS) and some great high tech gadgetry. This movie has one of the best plots with Bond trying to stop Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) from blowing up all of the gold in Fort Knox. This movie is full of usual Connery wit and charm and great music by John Barry. All other Bond movies fail in comparision to this one. Whether your a true Bond fan or just someone who wants a great movie to watch, this is definitly one to buy.
