I don't know whether the Bond series has a future, but if Xenia Onatopp ever returns to try for world domination, he may finally get a battle worth fighting.
There's something a mite pathetic about our culture still clinging to 007, but it's hard to deny that this is one of the most entertaining entries in the Bond cycle.
Richard Kiel, you are missed.
Among the better of the 17 Bonds and, perhaps more important for today's audience, a dynamic action entry in its own right, this first 007 adventure in six years breathes fresh creative and commercial life into the 33-year-old series.
Supercharged with spectacular, thundering, brain-numbing fun.
One of the more entertaining entries in the series, even if one thinks it's hogwash.
Se acerta ao trazer um Bond mais amadurecido, amargurado e auto-consciente, peca terrivelmente por elementos que beiram o trash, como alguns efeitos visuais pavorosos e uma atuação sensual, mas absurda, de Janssen.
Brosnan is a stylish 007, the action is fast and the overall result hugely entertaining.
This is the best bond movie since On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Lean, dark and graceful, Brosnan wraps his perfectly calculated accent around all the standard phrases without making us hear quotation marks.
...a solid, sporadically electrifying entry in this ongoing series.
It's only slightly better than the movies of the last fifteen years or so, but that alone makes it worth seeing. License to Kill was so absolutely horrid, that I'm relieved to see an upswing.
Director Campbell keeps matters bowling along and even manages to recapture something of the look of the earlier films.
The entry that salvages the franchise.
Execs at MGM/UA can rest easy: the Bond franchise has been successfully salvaged.
Instead of continuing as a comedy of thrills, Goldeneye rapidly disintegrates into an endless series of gratuitous explosions and suspense-free motor vehicle chases, each one louder and less interesting than its predecessor.
Pierce Brosnan turns in a fine performance, establishing himself as a fine heir to the Bond throne. The plotting isn't as solid as in the best Bond films, but this is still a good time.
