I didn't see Goldeneye until after I had been playing the Nintendo 64 video game for about 4-5 years. Therefore, on first viewing I think I was so mesmerized with seeing the set pieces from the game in real life, that it clouded my judgement.

This is still the best Brosnan Bond film and at times it is entertaining, but it's a bit of a mess. I think with a new actor playing the famous role, the filmmakers felt compelled to shoehorn Bondisms into almost every scene. That works sometimes, others it comes across as lame. 5/10.

Pretty good, the action's really well done.
It's got a drifting tank, what else could you wish for?
And Famke Janssen's really good in it, she nails her one character trait of being extremely horny all the time.
The plot itself is all right, it can be a little silly sometimes.

Finally made it to a Bond film released after my birth. Feels like a long while since I could last say that I've watched more than one great Bond flicks consecutively but here we are. Top notch action and characters. A Bond adventure that's part evolved for the post-Cold War era, yet still mostly familiar to 007's Cold War escapades. Although I do have to ask... why isn't Alan Cumming's more mocked alongside other oddities/hilarities belonging to this franchise? Somehow managing to sound more like a foreigner putting on a Scots accent rather than the other way around.

the first Bond of the Brosnan era, with a James Bond that exudes seduction and elegance, good action in a good movie

"Beg your pardon, forgot to knock."

GoldenEye will always remain one of my favorite Bond movies. It is special to me because it was the first Bond film I ever saw as a kid and the videogame on the N64 that came along with it was one me and my friends played the shit out of. So many fun memories!

Pierce Brosnan's first outing as James Bond still stands the test of time for me and throw in Sean Bean as a bad guy and it can't go wrong. I love the scene with the tank and Izabella Scorupco as Natalya is still one of my favorite Bond girls.

Rewatching GoldenEye was another fun ride and a great way to start a free saturday!

Blimey, what a stunning James Bond movie this one is. It goes at such a rollicking pace, there is never a dull moment.

Before I watched any of these films I thought I'd prefer Timothy Dalton to Pierce Brosnan, but I've got to say I think Pierce Brosnan is the better Bond. Still not as good as Sean Connery or Roger Moore, but surprisingly better than Timothy Dalton.

I absolutely love the scene where James Bond is driving a tank. It's madcap, but ridiculously cool and the right side of daft.

The Bond girl is also excellent here. I really like Izabella Scorupco as Natalia. She's shown to be an extremely intelligent and resourceful computer programmer, who assists Bond in the technical side of things whilst James Bond deals with the spy stuff.

And isn't it fun that we get an evil rogue former spy of MI6 here, in Alec 006? It's a really fun idea to introduce somebody who used to work for MI6 but feels betrayed by them and Bond because of a failed mission in the past. He feels like the perfect foil to James Bond!

Very good first outing of Pierce Brosnan as Bond. He is the Bond I grew up with and he is just so good in the role. Also love the title track by Tina Turner and Judi Dench as M.

old james bond movies are a classic though!! not as our current one but still they are so enjoyable and fun to watch!

Pierce Brosnan resurrects the Bond franchise in GoldenEye. The story follows James Bond as he investigates the destruction of a Russian satellite station that was believed to have developed a super weapon. Brosnan was born to be Bond, and does an excellent job portraying the character; keeping him suave and charming, but also tough and dangerous. Sean Bean also gives an impressive performance; crafting one of the most challenging and personal villains that Bond has ever faced. However, the Bond girls don't quite work, and the theme song is terrible. Still, the plot is fairly tight and the action scenes are energetic and exciting. GoldenEye is a fun and action packed adventure with a new Bond for a post-Cold War era.

That tank scene is crazy. Pierce Brosnan does a good James Bond. Sean Bean is always a great villain.

After years of silliness and fake-hero we finally got a great James Bond movie in every aspects:
opening;
song (Tina Turner nail it);
spy story;
villain (which gives some light to old 00-agents);
a great and memorable villain henchman;
an unforgettable bond-girl (not with just looks but has character and attitude... for me here we got one of the all time best ones);
a great James Bond (one with a new presence but also really well sumarizing all of his predecessors actors - and also the best Pierce Brosnan Bond movie);
really entertaiment;
Awesome!
8/10

Film really badly shot, with relatively cheap special effects, long periods when very little happens (even compared to the prior films in the series), and less sarcasm, as well as a Bond completely out of character.
