This has to be quite a exciting and shocking suprise to all the DVD review sources who anticipated just another re-packaging/marketing release of the James Bond collection. The John Lowry Digital group has taken these James Bond films to another level with their restoration work. This has to be by far Lowry's finest achievement. In some cases Lowry' may have had a lot to work with considering each film with It's own set of unique characteristics. But the results are what counts and In this case Lowry' has made a remarkable step forward and has raised the bar for film restoration to a new standard. You have to see these films again to believe them. Too bad Lowry' doesn't do all the dvd's in the marketplace, I for one sure wish they did. This Is the high quality that dvd was ment for. The marketing Of The James Bond Ultimate Collection could have been handled a bit better. For those buyers Interested In purchasing the box sets at a attractive price, well that's fine, you can get all 20 of the James Bond's and your satisfied. However, If MGM released each Ultimate slim(2)disc dvd seperately for purchase, that would have also been a smart move, but they didn't. Even If released Individually at a higher price, they would still sell. The Ultimate releases are selling on Ebay for up to $28.00 each and that's not Including shipping. The Ebay sellers are making the money that should have gone to MGM. Again, the box sets are great, but what we're finding out Is that consumers are willing to pay more for what they want and that's the bottom line. Well let's just wait and see what happens next, sometimes you can never tell.

James Bond comes of age in this minor epic. Auric Goldfinger is the definitive villain. The golf game and the attack on Fort Knox are highlights. Connery is outstanding and thoroughly believable as the British agent with a job to do but with a vengeful nod.

This is one of the best Bond films, and the climax, wherein Bond is locked inside Fort Knox with bodyguard Oddjob, is one of the great screen confrontations in film history. Gert Frobe, who played Goldfinger, actually has his voice dubbed in this film as he did not speak English very well. With all that said, I cannot resist adding that it is positively shameless how much MGM is milking the Bond franchise, re-releasing them on DVD over and over and over again, counting on hapless die hard Bond fans to shell out their hard earned cash over and over.

This is arguably the best James Bond movie. The casting is impeccable, and Sean Connery is at his best in this one. Further, this film follows the book quite closely, and where it departs from it, it is better than the book, which is unusual for a James Bond flick.
This film has class. The scene where Bond comments on the cognac in the meeting with M and the gold expert, and M is plainly irritated by Bond's offhand expertise as to fine liquor, is typical of the film, and hilarious. (Especially so, as M has just finished chewing out 007 for his womanizing on a prior assignment.) In this film Bond is not a comic-book cutout character, or a superman. He is a fallible human being with a weakness for gorgeous women which, admittedly, he seems to luck into more than is probably humanly possible, but then again why not?
"Goldfinger" avoids the pitfalls of some of the later James Bond flicks, and never lapses into slapstick. The ending is a trifle over the top, (no spoiler here) but only moderately so. I trust that a re-release of this superb film in DVD is imminent.

GOLDFINGER has become recognized as a cultural phenomena and the Jams Bond craze started taking off after the release of this film. GOLDFINGER contains a well-balanced level of depth and action leaving one emotionally charged. This is perhaps Sean Connery's finest James Bond film. The golden girl, Oddjob's bowler hat, Goldfinger's lethal laser, the Astin Martin DB5 with modifications introduced by Q, and Shirley Bassey's legendary rendition of the theme song belted out over the titles immediately became an integral part of the James Bond lore and remained in the psyche of the public.
Director Guy Hamilton, screen writers Richard Maibaum and Paul Dehn and editor Peter Hunt were able to produce a solid, well balanced, entertaining film based on Ian Fleming's novel that does not rely totally on the spectacle and whimsy that would weaken the subsequent entries in the series. Production designer Ken Adam and art director Peter Murton gave the production a stunning and lavish distinction. The Fort Knox set and Goldfinger's playroom at his stud ranch was a testament to imagination and achievement. John Barry's score is unique in some respects as he continued to finally hone his distinctive style to perfection with this memorable score.
This edition contains a digitally remastered print restored frame by frame and the sound has been remastered in a 5.1 DTS mix. Most impressive is that there is true Front Left and Right stereo separation. I think the technicians had a lot to work with. If you examine the last Laserdisc release of GOLDFINGER it contained an isolated music and sound effects track, so some valuable audio separation existed to work with. The results are impressive on this front and the basic sound of the audio is much more defined and sounds clean and crisp to the ear.
