Review: this movie is one of the james bond films ever made. The best bad guys the best girls and the best plot !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best 007.
Review: I have to say that this is the king of the Bond pics. It has the coolest henchman after Jaws, the coolest bad guy, the best plot, and the best quote ("Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."). Its got the perfect mix of everything and is so well acted. I think everyone needs this movie, whether they like Bond or not.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Goldfinger
Review: Sean Connery returned in 1964 after making two other OO7 films with Goldfinger.Though I don't think it's the best in the series or it's Connery's best, it is still great.Sean Connery delivres a great acting performance as do Honor Blackman and Gert Frobe.Auric Goldfinger and Oddjob were the best villain-henchperson combination out of all the OO7 films, edging out Karl Stromberg and Jaws in The Spy who Loved Me and Max Zorin and MayDay in A View To a Kill.The climax in Fort Knox was excellent.Shirley Bassey's title song was one of the best in the series.The score by John Barry was great too.Though Thunderball, The Spy who Loved Me, and GoldenEye are better, I heavily recommend Goldfinger too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oddjob
Review: Oddjob was the best henchmen of the series and Goldfinger is the best movie in the series.Buy it!

Summary: "Action" Meant Something Else In 1964
Review: Imagine leading a guided tour of 21st century adolescents through the museum of early Bond films---"Well,kids,they weren't like today---yes,back then,they did sit around and talk a lot more---but hey,that was to make the story and the characters more believable---O.K?".Not O.K.,because I don't think those explanations fly with modern ticket-buyers---otherwise we wouldn't have "The World Is Not Enough",which is itself a kind of rebuke to everything that used to be Bond.Those of us who made the rite of passage into (perceived)adulthood on the heels of seeing "Goldfinger" must finally admit that this is the kind of action movie they're just not going to make anymore.First of all,there's really not that much action---after the bang-up teaser opening,it's mostly exposition---something quite unthinkable in today's marketplace.Consider this---after 007 finds Shirley Eaton covered in gold,there are THREE individual segments in which Bond's mission is discussed and instructions given---this is in the first act,mind you.Today,they'd be past the third boat chase and into the second free-fall from a plane in flight."Goldfinger's" next "action" highlight is a golf game---Get Out! ---but what humor and suspense it generates---will Goldfinger discover the ball switch?It still puts me on the edge of my seat,and I've seen it two dozen times.The greatness of this movie lies in the powerful visual images it so casually presents---the Golden Girl on the bed---I won't even try to describe the electricity that went through the audience when that scene flashed on in '64(and well into '65)---if you're too young,ask your father to tell you about it.Oh,and the laser--you know,where it's pointed and all that---need I mention the effect on twelve-year old boys hitherto nursed on the likes of "Son Of Flubber"?---and when Pussy Galore introduced herself---someone might just as well have set off a cherry bomb in the theatre.What I'm saying is,you had to be there.The middle-aged among us who like an occasional express ride back to childhood will want this DVD,with all it's fabulous extras.For those of you who missed the sixties,here is an opportunity to understand your elders a little better---order "Goldfinger" today---find out what some of the excitement of our youth was all about---chances are it will lead to a happy Bond-ing experience with someone you love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nobody does it better...
