Until Casino Royale came out, this is the best of the "modern" Bond films. Good chracters, good pace, just a fun and exciting movie to watch. And it has the best Bond fight scene... other than Casino Royale. Sean Bean is terrific as the bad guy, though Joe Don Baker is a waste of space here.

Golden Eye DVD
Pierce Brosman is introduced as James Bond in a movie that has 007 trying to stop Russian Rebels from destroying the economy of London.
Recommended for fans of James Bond and Pierce Brosman. Personally I don't think anyone has done better than Sean Connery.

1995's "Goldeneye" was the first of four forays by Pierce Brosnan as James Bond; it can fairly be said to have revived the 007 franchise. From its heartstopping opening sequence in a Russian Weapons Lab to its thrilling action finale at a satellite groundstation complex in Cuba, the action never stops coming.
The movie opens with the standard pre-credits action sequence. Bond and fellow agent 006 (played with blunt style by Sean Bean) break into a secret Russian Bio-Lab in the Urals. Their mission is to destroy the plant. They are discovered and 006 is captured. Bond escapes, in an astonishing sequence featuring a motorcycle, a freefall from a cliff, and a small airplane, that would have been worth the movie all by itself.
Bond's mission is to find and stop a renegade Russian General from using the Goldeneye, a satellite-based laser. His search takes him from Monte Carlo to London to Russia and eventually to a satellite earth station in Cuba. Along the way, he will tangle repeatedly with Xenia Onatopp, a Russian hit-woman (played with sexy verve by Framke Janssen); race a tank through the streets of St. Petersburg; and rescue a former Russian satellite technician (played with a nice mixture of vulnerability and toughness by Izabella Scorupco). The final confrontation in Cuba brings him face-to-face with his long-missing fellow agent, 006.
"Goldeneye" reshuffles the deck on the franchise's main characters, to good effect. Pierce Brosnan is a highly effective Bond, believable as a steely-eyed assassin, but with that special panache so lacking since Sean Connery retired from the role. At the same time, he clearly carries a burden from so many deaths, friend and foe. Judi Dench takes up duties as the new "M", a tough-minded Secret Service bureaucrat who criticizes Bond as a social dinosaur but still wants him to make it home alive. Samantha Bond is a sexy but updated and confident Moneypenny. Joe Don Baker makes the first of several appearences as Bond's rather homespun CIA point of contact Felix Leiter. Robbie Coltrane cameos as a spot-on Russian Mafia hood who has an unusual reciprocal relationship with Bond.
"Goldeneye" is superb entertainment in the best tradition of the 007 franchise, a nice mixture of action, romance-on-the-run, and understated British humor. One wonders only why it took so long to get Pierce Brosnan into the tuxedo. This movie is very highly recommended to fans of the James Bond movies.

Great movie with tones of the cold war. Pierce Brosnan is absolutely great as James Bond in one of his best Bond movies. There are several very funny slams at Americans if you pay attention. Very well done movie.

Six years after Licence to Kill, Bond makes a return to the big screen with a new actor playing the role - Pierce Brosnan - along with a decent budget to produce "Goldeneye", one of the better modern Bond films that has a complete and sturdy feel just like the originals with Sean Connery. Brosnan is no Connery, though, in fact he feels like an evrage Bond to me. Every Bond actor before him had something recognizable, like Moore's humor or Dalton's toughness. Brosnan didn't seem to have anything unique about his character, except that his does a little bit of everything, which is still a good thing. Its the solid story and list of characters that give Goldeneye a good rating, along with some very memorable action scenes.
The movie begins on a good note. A breathtaking scene of a dam more than 600ft. high features Bond bungee-jumping off to the bottom. The camera catches a true sense of the massive proportions of the dam, as well as the fall. If that weren't enough, before credits start rolling, Bond escapes the scene of action by jumping off a mountain without a parachute, leaping into a falling unmaned plane, and steering clear of mountains just in time. Then the music begins, "Goldeneye", a very modern feel Bond tune - with a beat - performed by Tina Turner.
The story is actually nothing original here. Yet again, Russia is involved with the plot of a Bond film. The Cold War has ended, however, so things are a little different. A group of villains led by a man named Alec (Sean Bean) steals something known as "Goldeneye" which can control various satellites that can be used to target a city and destroy it. Its basically all about getting rich or innocent people will die. There are many more people involved, some more villainous than others. It was almost a bit confusing to keep up with, but I thought it kept things interesting. Sean Bean makes a great villain in this film, and a Bond movie first - is actually an ex double-O himself.
The action felt limited, but when it came it struck hard. The tank chase in the streest of St. Petersburg, Russia was the highlight, along with an excellent final fight between Alec and Bond - hanging in air from a massive satellite antenna. There were lots of explosions in this film too, and probably more than any other Bond fillm to this point.
The Bond girls were two of the best I thought, although one was actually more of a villain. With an already strange name of "Xenia Onatopp", thats basically what she does. An interesting character and decent actor, but probably just as crazy as say "May Day" from the View To A Kill movie. Only, this one gets off - literally - by shooting and strangling her victims. Yes, she freaky. The other girl becomes Bond's love interest, and actually has a decent character and use throughout the film.
Limited action, an unoriginal story and, well, Pierce Brosnan keep this from being the perfect Bond - but its not far behind. Brosnan does the job well, and though the story is unoriginal, it was told very nicely and tightly - kinda like the very first Bond films. Action is good, but only comes occasionaly. The charcaters are one of the best things about this film. Overall, Goldeneye is one of the best Bond films and definetly the best Brosnan Bond film.
