Critics Consensus

The first and best Pierce Brosnan Bond film, GoldenEye brings the series into a more modern context, and the result is a 007 entry that's high-tech, action-packed, and urbane.

There’s a fair bit to enjoy here, although perhaps it’s best experienced on TV over Christmas in a Quality Street stupor. Go to Full Review David Hunter The Hollywood Reporter 11/19/2019
With a dynamite opening reel that showcases the series renewed vigor, GoldenEye is two hours of well-executed thrills, high-tech mayhem and one-of-a-kind comedy. Go to Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune 10/28/2015

Sean Russell Oct 6 a pleasant blast from the past with outstanding picture and sound 4k bluray upgrade quality making it feel like it was filmed this year. Finally getting to experience in the theatre first time ever having not been able to in my early childhood. Great way to celebrate the 30th anniversary on JB 007 day! See more Mando Oct 6 A great old school 007 film See more Jeff J Oct 6 Been watching this movie since I saw it in the theater during its original 1995 run See more Carlos T 9h *GoldenEye* é um marco dentro da série 007. Após **seis anos de hiato**, o filme não apenas inaugura a década de 90, como também apresenta o **quinto James Bond** do cinema. Pierce Brosnan assume o papel em um momento delicado: o mundo pós-Guerra Fria já não precisa do mesmo espião de antes. A queda do Muro de Berlim e o fim do embate ideológico EUA x URSS exigiam uma atualização da franquia — e o filme tenta, ainda que timidamente, fazer essa transição. 🎭 **James Bond & Personagens** Brosnan surge como um Bond elegante, muito mais próximo do charme clássico de Sean Connery, porém menos sensual e mais contido. Sua estreia é **correta e convincente**, mas ainda sem a imponência total que alcançaria nos filmes seguintes. A introdução da nova **M**, vivida por Judi Dench, é um dos grandes acertos: firme, moderna e crítica à masculinidade antiquada de Bond, ela traz uma camada inédita de tensão institucional. Nota: 6,5 See more Tony O 5d I always thought this was more of a throwback to the Roger Moore Era. It is a very entertaining fast paced thriller.
