GoldenEye

Release Year: 1995

Director: Martin Campbell

Review: When watching Bond films, one comes to expect certain things.  Those things are certainly all present in 'GoldenEye', Pierce Brosnan's first go as the secret agent.  There are plenty of plot holes, corny gadgets, tired lines and cringe worthy "hackers", but on a whole there was enough thrills to keep me entertained.  Its the first Bond film since the cold war, and seeing them tackle this issue was interesting.  Suddenly the classic villain isn't quite the same as it used to be.  All in all I can't hype too much praise on the film, since the entire experience was a flash back to the beloved video game, which was entirely more enjoyable.  There are some evil doers, some explosions and some twists, which altogether make for an entirely watchable and entertaining, if not mindless, couple hours of enjoyment.
Rating: 3/5
