John K @WQCMI Aug 19 Goldfinger is my favourite James Bond movie. It is a brilliant film with lots of action, an interesting story and the theme by Dame Shirley Bassey is wonderful.

It has a lot of iconic bond moments, and aspects of what is considered "classic bond", such as the cold open mission, the opening song, Q , Aston Martin, gadgets and main villain with a sidekick (odd job) But where the movie lacks is pretty much everything else; the story, acting and action scenes. It has pretty Terrible dialogue as well. Editing is bad in places with some parts sped up that end up looking ridiculous. It’s a classic, but it’s not deserving of the rating it has here. Not the worst, but not the best. I am rewatching them all, and so far "Dr No" and "from Russia with love" are significantly better films. It gets the half star See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 13 Goldfinger is one of the definitive James Bond films, with Sean Connery at his most iconic in the role. He has the confidence, charm, arrogance, danger, and dry humor all working at once, creating one of the clearest versions of the classic screen Bond. The movie also gives the franchise one of its strongest villains. Gert Fröbe makes Auric Goldfinger greedy, theatrical, petty, and completely convinced of his own genius, while Oddjob becomes unforgettable through pure presence: the hat, the silence, the strength, and the loyalty all make him instantly threatening. This is where the Bond formula clicks into full strength: the Aston Martin, gadgets, Shirley Bassey’s theme song, the pre-title adventure, elaborate death traps, glamour, humor, and absurdity. The Fort Knox climax is more fun than believable, but that is part of the charm. Goldfinger is exceptional Bond entertainment and one of the strongest examples of the franchise at its most iconic.

See more IAM M @IAM1655 Jun 7 This is the movie that made James Bond a massive superstar. He was also well known in Dr. No, and From Russia with Love, but this film made him huge. The scene with the girl turned into gold is one of the best scenes in film history. The Aston Martin DB5 is one of the best cars of the series. Gert Fröbe was pretty good as Goldfinger, but his death was a bit silly. See more Read all reviews
