It is also an extremely efficient script that, as you say, hits every Bond button just the right amount.īut I also think it benefits from coming right at a really interesting post Cold War moment and after a Bond hiatus, where it gets to do some quite interesting meta stuff about what Bond used to be vs his place in the world now, and how Western pop culture was making sense of the whole genre of stuff he was part of now that the old, clearer cut conflicts were over. I think it's GoldenEye in part because Brosnan can do both the suave tuxedo stuff and also pretty convincingly swing a punch. There's some bad aspects in old Connery / Moore movies but at least they weren't try-hards like with DaD.Īctually someone else suggested this, whats you're favourite bond movie per each actor?

Least favourite/ worst Bond is also a Brosnan (Die another Day) To give context, my next favourites include Skyfall, The Man with the Golden Gun and TWINE.oh and I also enjoyed both Timothy Dalton Bond movies, and I wish he'd made 1 or 2 more. Its kinda goofy like the older ones, but also pretty edgy and gritty.

Its over the top, pithy, witty, has great car chases and shooting scenes, captures and escapes, huge explosions and tons of close calls. The plotline is interesting but also simple enough to follow, and the cast isn't explaining the story to us.īasically, it FEELS like a bond movie.

The slower parts aren't super long or drawn out, they're actually interesting and not overly sefl-indulgent (like the newer Craig movies). Goldeneye is fantastic to me mostly because of its excellent pacing. You probably prefer whatever Bond you grew up with? Idk.just an assumptionįor me, I grew up with Pierce Brosnan and he's the most Bondly bond that ever bonded.
