| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesWith the ideal Bond, a worthy adversary, gorgeous Bond Babes and a director skilled enough to fully maximize their potential, this stands atop the rest as the best Bond film. |
| Seattle TimesDoug ThomasBrosnan's right there, born to play the part. Perhaps by design, he captures a bit from each predecessor -- the panache of Sean Connery, the cheeky humor of Roger Moore, the serious grit of Timothy Dalton. |
| New YorkerAnthony LaneBrosnan, however, looks set to stay. He'll never recapture the amused cool of the young Sean Connery, but he does overcome the handicap of looking like a humorless male model. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashBrosnan, in his debut, turns in a great performance as 007. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenBrosnan is excellent, wearing Bond more lightly than any of his predecessors. |
| Film Geek CentralAustin KennedyThis is a nice, safe, Bond movie that is trying to please the masses. And it does work as a crowd pleaser. Not among the best Bond, but a solid debut for Brosnan and a worthy entry in the series. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonA smash hit that brought Bond back to life in a great big enjoyable way. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOne of the more entertaining entries in the series, even if one thinks it's hogwash. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAlso, there's more action in Goldeneye than in previous 007 entries -- enough to keep a ninety-minute film moving at a frantic pace. Unfortunately, this movie isn't ninety-minutes long -- it's one-hundred thirty, which means that fully one-quarter of Goldeneye is momentum-killing padding. |
| San Francisco ExaminerEdvins BeitiksIt is both the best-looking James Bond film and the best-looking James Bond. |
