Review of GoldenEye

GoldenEye (1995)
7/10
Typical Bond, and earns its place in the Canon
26 January 2000
No-one watches a Bond film for intellectual stimulation. Girls, gadgets, gazillions of stunts. Goldeneye delivers. As silly as the Evil Bond Girl is; as stunningly unbelievable as the airplane stunt before the credits is, as implausible as the Russian accent on the Computer Hacker is, this is a worthy addition to the Bond Series of films. Maybe not the best one, but it earns it keep. Bond is once again pitted against a villain bent on destroying a major city, and again he is aided by a brainy but buxom babe. Sound like 90% of all Bond films? Yes... what did you expect? Good stunts, good acting (for the genre), good characters (especially the CIA agent), and good special effects. Not too many ludicrous plot twists, some witty lines, and some of the usual titillation make this a fine film to watch Sunday night when your brain really needs some eye candy.
