Summary: "This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine!!"
Review: That line is my absoulute favorite coming from Xenia Zaragevna Onatopp in the eighteenth James Bond film. Onatopp is a vicious assassin played by Famke Janssen. I drool over her. 007 this time races to Russia, to find the villain or villainous who stole the GoldenEye space weapons satellite. He eventually finds out that it's his former friend and 00-agent partner, Alec Trevelyan,who's armed with the lethal and sexy Xenia. Bond encounters evil women, urdering ex-war hero's, betrayal, old partners, and beatutiful (helpful as well) Russian computer programmers. I personally recomend this movie to just about anyone and everyone. You really don't have to be a big 007 fan to enjoy GoldenEye, so enjoy it!!

Summary: James Bond is Back and Better than Ever
Review: I Love and enjoy this movie so much. It returns the movie back to the old classics and updates to the 90s. Only problem is not enough action, but storyline also not enough women. Pierce was the greatest and showed the characteristic of being a 007 super secret agent James Bond. The best part of the movie was the whole thing especially the beginning sequence, the tank scene, and the ending. The other cast was great and enjoyable I love their performance. Pierce is alot better than Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and George Lazenby, but has there qualities and attitude of being a bond, James Bond. We will see him back in the 19th bond film The World is Not Enough.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Welcome Back, James
Review: After a six-year hiatus, Albert R. Broccoli resurrected his James Bond series with one of the series finest efforts, the action-packed Goldeneye. Sadly, Cubby Broccoli and SFX wizard Derek Meddings would not live long past the completion of their film.

Pierce Brosnan takes over the role of the last word in secret agents, and does so with a fine mixture of the hard-nosed cynicism of Timothy Dalton with the relaxation of Sean Connery and a nice touch of the humor of Roger Moore.

A superior script kicks off in 1986 with the sabotage by Bond and his close compatriot Alec Trevelyan (brilliantly played by Sean Bean) of a Russian chemical weapons plant that has been supplying international terrorists. In the raid, Trevelyan is executed by ambitious Red General Oromov - or so it seems. Thinking him dead, Bond blasts the place to smithereens and hijacks a plane to return to safety.

Fast forward to 1995. Communism has fallen, but in its place has risen "families" of organized crime. The most powerful is the syndicate named Janus, one of whose members is sexy ex-Red Air Force jet jockey Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen, who comes off more as a pest than a killer). After playing cards in Monte Carlo with James, she seduces a French helicopter pilot, but as he begins to impregnate her she crushes his spinal cord with her calves, then steals his chopper - a machine fortified with material protecting it from electromagnetic pulses.

The theft angers James because the new M, head of MI6 (Dame Judi Dench), is a bean-counter - The Evil Queen Of Numbers, as one ticked-off MI6 bureaucrat mutters - who had dismissed the threat posed by the theft. He is made more upset when Onatopp teams with Oromov to use the chopper to sabotage Severnaya, a tracking station controlling a nuclear warhead orbiting Earth - the Goldeneye. The warhead-satellite is detonated over the tracking station, its electromagnetic pulses short-circuiting anything within a hundred miles operating an electric circuit - except the EM-shielded helicopter.

Bond is sent to Russia to find the chopper and prevent further such sabotage. Along the way he meets Janus - to his horror, it is Alec Trevelyan, burning with a lifetime of simmering hatred of the very nation he once served. Now, with the help of CIA agent Jack Wade (Joe Don Baker) and the sole survivor of the Severnaya station, Bond races to stop Trevelyan and Onatopp, for there is another Goldeneye satellite which they intend to explode over London.

The film grabs the viewer and stays on a riveting course to its spectacular conclusion.

Summary: i really loved this movie!anyone who doesn't is a nutcase.
Review: the movie was so cool.i watched it about one thousand times in one day every day.i think james was outstanding.so was natalya and alec. i rented it because we were on a level on the video game that we couldn't beat,then i rented it and found out that the level we were on was the only time that the movie would help anyone with the game.so if you play the game and you get stuck on a level besides the train,dont go watch the movie to find out how to beat it because it probably wont tell you.the movie is way different than the game but the movie is better.

Summary: THIS WAS A FANTASTIC MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I absolutely love the storyline! Pierce Brosnan is the perfect James bond! this movie is much better than Tomorrow Never Dies and any other James Bond movie. The only bad thing about the movie was that it didn't have a whole lot of action. I love action movies but the dialogue and characters make up for it. Kick ass movie!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Goldfinger was better
Review: For a film that resurrected the longest running movies series after a six year dormancy, it is a good start. Brosnan does bring a more serious edge to his character, started most recently by Timothy Dalton. Brosnan's portrayal lacks the casual competency that Connery brought to the role, best seen when he settled into the character in Goldfinger. The film does succeed in bringing the Bond formula into the 1990s, and is mostly fast paced. The film continues the regretable ploy of substituting gadgets for plot development.

What the Bond series needs is a return to a fast-paced, edge of the seat lo-tech thriller like From Russia With Love, as a refreshing alternative to all the gadget - filled spy thrillers on the market.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brosnan soars as 007
Review: This amazing film was all that I was hoping for. I was impressed with the storyline, as well as the locations of many scenes. The world travel in Goldeneye was definitely a major plus. The action was non-stop, and the special effects were astounding. Once again, great movie.
