Amazon.co.uk Review

Pierce Brosnan assumed the role of James Bond for the first time in Goldeneye, the 17th entry in the series. Brosnan looks a little light on the big screen under any circumstances, and he does take some getting used to as 007. But this busy film keeps him hopping as freelance terrorists from the former Soviet Union get their hands on super-high-tech weapons. The film's challenge is to bring free-spirited Bond up to date in the age of AIDS and in the aftermath of the cold war: director Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro) succeeds on both counts with a cheeky hint of irony. The best moment in the film is a chase scene that finds Bond tearing up the streets of Moscow in a tank. But Brosnan's most interesting contributions are reminiscent of the dark streak that occasionally showed up in Sean Connery's Bond. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars More Bondlike than any other Bond film, 28 Dec 2005
By Mr. Jd Ware "wolvie-ware" (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If there is one Bond film that strictly follows the Bond cliches then this is it. Spectacular pre-credit sequence, great theme song, amazing stunts, beautiful women, a decent plot, memorable villains, Bond gets captured, escapes in style, etc etc. But for once, it doesn't feel tired, and this film is as fresh and as exciting as the first entry in the series, Dr. No.

It helps having Pierce Brosnan in the role, a fresh face in an old part. His seriousness, coupled with cheeky humour plays dividends for the film and makes the character more human than ever before. He realistically plays Bond, never once going into caricature, and brings the "misogynist, cold war relic," into the Nineties.

And for once, Goldeneye has a decent plot. MI6 agent, 006 (played brilliantly by Sean Bean) goes rogue, and aims to become rich with the Goldeneye EMP satellite. It's up to Bond to stop him. The film is paired into two distinct halves - an interesting, plot setting up first half, and an action blow out second half.

The whole film is memorable, but most spectacularly, are the incredible dam jump opening, the street destroying tank chase, and the ending show down.

Gadgets, vehicles and girls are all correct and present. It may follow the Bond formula strictly, but that is a good thing - you know what to expect, and can just sit back and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars BOND IS BACK AND BETTER THAN THE EIGHTIES!, 5 Aug 2004
By V (Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
STARRING: Pierce Brosnan as 007, Dame Judi Dench as M & Sean Bean as 006. TITLE SONG BY: Tina Turner.

"Goldeneye" is a classic Bond and probably one of the best. It started a new era of Bond films, re-emerging after a 6 year gap. In the new style, Brosnan takes on the suave role of James Bond. Dame Judi Dench is introduced as the first female 'M' and Samantha Bond (fitting surname) is the new Moneypenny, a little less like the traditional damsel in distress. Bond is struggling to cope after the death of 006 (Sean Bean) and the changes at the top! So he is keen to gain revenge on General Ourumov (006's executioner) when he steals a key Russian missile. However his employer Janus has a big secret that will make Bond think again about his friendships! As Goldeneye is set to fire on London, only Bond and his Bond girl Natalya Simonova can prevent Janus from carrying out his evil revenge plan!

NOTE: Felix Lighter was half-eaten in "Licence to Kill" so the new CIA Agent is Jack Wade (Joe Don Baker)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brosnans Baby, 10 Sep 2003
This review is from: GoldenEye [DVD] [1995] (DVD)
Goldeneye was the result of a long 6 year wait after we said goodbye to Timothy Dalton. Once Goldeneye was here it was evident that Bond was back, and he had changed for the new Decade. From the very instant the film beings you know its going to be BIG. The new Bond, Brosnan, establishes himself as guy who knows what hes doing and why hes doing it. The newer style of humour and action is a nice way for him to start. Goldeneye of course sees a massive cast change, the vast majority of people are changed, apart from good old Q, and this entry is one of his best. The most famous part of the film is the Tank chase through St. Petersberg, and once you see it you know why it is so well known. The score for Goldeneye is definalty unique, and right from the very begining of the Gunbarrel shot, you know its going to be a film you will want to sere again and again.

The menu is great, and the extra features are unbeatable.
