From Amazon.co.uk
Pierce Brosnan assumed the role of James Bond for the first time in Goldeneye, the 17th entry in the series. Brosnan looks a little light on the big screen under any circumstances, and he does take some getting used to as 007. But this busy film keeps him hopping as freelance terrorists from the former Soviet Union get their hands on super-high-tech weapons. The film's challenge is to bring free-spirited Bond up to date in the age of AIDS and in the aftermath of the cold war: director Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro) succeeds on both counts with a cheeky hint of irony. The best moment in the film is a chase scene that finds Bond tearing up the streets of Moscow in a tank. But Brosnan's most interesting contributions are reminiscent of the dark streak that occasionally showed up in Sean Connery's Bond. --Tom Keogh

 Good movie GREAT femme fatale June 23, 2004
I loved Goldeneye because of:
a) Tank chase through St. Petersburg
b) The bungee jump off the dam
c) The humour
d) Isabella Scorupco's performance
and e) Famke Janssen's absolutely perfect, deadly femme fatale Xenia Onnatopp. She's the best, absolutely, the best Bond villain/girl EVER! Ilove Famke Janssen, but I've only seen her in this and X-Men. I can't find others anywhere.
But I'm sure you ain't reading this to hear about me going on about Famke Janssen.
The plot- Bond (superb Pierce Brosnan) is investigating a French anti-electric tampering helicopter, the 'Tiger', when it's stolen by Xenia Onnatopp, a fellow car enthusiast who is linked to a Russian terrorist group Janus.
At MI6, it is discovered a Russian satellite base was struck by an EMP weapon from space known as 'Goldeneye'.
Bond then begins his search for 'Janus', the head of the terrorist group, and soon meets up with one of 2 survivors from te EMP strike, Natalya, Isabella Scorupco, and soon discovers a global threat to technology, banking resources, and people's lives.
Excellent new Bond here. Brosnan's first Bond's is one of his best.
Cheesy explosion sounds annyoed me, and the missing action sequence with Bond's car, the BMW Z3 Roadster is completely missing.
But good casting and sets etc. prove that Bond could go on forever, or at least until the films become unprofitable. (Hee hee)
The Gold Medal!! May 31, 2004
Goldeneye is one of those films that you know, from the first second, is going to please. It is an almost perfect movie from the awesome beginning to the slow unraveling of the plot to the love interest(the Russian) to the woman villianess (Xenia Onatopp - LOVE THAT NAME and what an entrance!!!!). On top of that we get Judi Dench as the new "M" and what a great bit of casting that was! Exciting, beautiful, sexy - the return of the spy himself.
 well crafted movie, an eclectic bond May 24, 2004
brosnan's inevitable debut.he really hasnt put much of his own stamp on the character and his portrayal is more an eclectic mix of the previous bonds.
that said, this is a fun debut.
there isnt much of a plot but theres plenty of ambience and some great character acting.
the images of the ghost like stalinesque graveyard are appopriately creepy and a not so subtle visual statement on the fall of the soviet union.
the main heroine and the main villian are a bit colorless but the two side villians (alan cummings and famke janssen) are great fun and sadly remind us that its been some time since we've seen bond villians with this much personality.
too, judi dench brings a much needed 'oomph' to the franchise and one hopes she'll be around for some time.
goldeneye seemd to promise new life to the franchise.
alas, the two sequals that followed fell flat.
The Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan Era Begins! May 23, 2004
GoldenEye is one of the best Bond movies ever made! Pierce Brosnan does a great job in his first outing as 007, just as Samantha Bond as Miss Moneypenny and Judi Dench as M. Sean Bean portrays Alec Trevelyan, Agent 006, who betrays Bond and becomes his enemy. Playing the baddie seems to be Bean's specialty (i.e. Patriot Games). The Bond girls are great as well. Izabella Scorupco plays computer programmer Natalya Simonova and Famke Janssen plays sadistic femme fatale Xenia Onatopp. My favorite scene (besides the pre-credits sequence) is the tank chase through St. Petersburg. Bond driving a tank! Just great! Next to "The World Is Not Enough", "GoldenEye" is one of the best Brosnan Bond films.
Shaken not Stirred April 14, 2004
GoldenEye is the best Bond-movie since Goldfinger. It has the best sound effects I have ever heard. It has some of the best Bond-villians ever. It has the best Bond-storyline (and I have seen everyone). It has incredibly good actors suuch as Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan. Overall it is the best Bond-movie!! Buy it NOW!! If you paid (...) for the video....it would be worth it!!!!
