Man... does anyone remember "the compound" level where you would put on infinite health / ammo and just go to town on those guys for hours! Multi-player?? Golden Gun! No being Odd Job!.... wait... what? This was also a movie?!

My favorite Bond and one of my favorite films of all time. The villainous lineup of Trevelyan, Xenia, Ourumov and Boris is just sublime, it has stylish locations (an awesome use of the standard casino scene), great action scenes by tank and car and plane and train, a cool plot by the villain, introduces the new M with a bang, and has a fantastic opening and climax and just so much style and verve. Pierce Brosnan's debut as Bond couldn't have come out better. (Ytadel's series ranking: #1 of 24)

Who the hell gave U2 the chance to do the music for this, the first half has some of the most garbage 90s music imaginable. Second half of the film I guess Bono and the Edge passed out from smelling their own farts and it’s fine.
4	Pickpocket	8 _82nd
This is one of my favorite Bond movies. Maybe it's cause I played the video game religiously or maybe it's cause I have huge crushes on every chick in it or maybe it's cause it's just downright cool. Sean Bean is ridiculously cool.
4	Tripwyre	78 _73rd
Written as a star vehicle for Timothy Dalton, the plot panders to the more serious approach he brought to the role. That's probably why this is the only Brosnan-led Bond film that isn't total garbage (which isn't to say Brosnan wasn't a good Bond, he was. He was just never given much to work with). Campbell sours things a bit with attempts at over-the-top camp comedy, and just a terribly cheap soundtrack, but overall this is a great globe-trotting adventure. The N64 game is better, however.

Last good Bond movie before Casino Royale.

I had fond memories of this. Now I'd say it's good, not great. No one had thus far been able to dethrone Connery, the quintessential Bond, or probably ever will (which of course makes the tagline ironic) but Brosnan - with his slick look and a talent for being both serious spy and a cheeseball (when required) - comes closest. And, also thanks to Famke J. and Sean Bean, 'GoldenEye' is by far the best of his four, even venturing to add a bit of character depth to what's mostly dumb (solid) action.
4	BeeDub	88 _75th
Brosnan's first Bond movie was also his best. No invisible cars or CGI tsunamis here.
3	djross	30 _13th
Exemplifies, depicts and struggles with the many transitions that occurred during the 1990s: the exit from the Cold War and the opening of the Iron Curtain; the advent of the internet age; changing attitudes to gender relations, especially in terms of workplace rules; and the move from miniatures and models to computer-generated imagery. Poor Tina Turner title song, written by "Bono" and "The Edge". Ends (prophetically) by mentioning Guantanamo as a nice spot for some romantic debriefing.
3	Alex WS	89 _95th
Revitalizes all the classic Bond elements: James has a real emotional arc. His relationship to M gains depth. The Bond girl is strong-willed and independent. The action scenes are creative and now feels natural in the narrative. Sharp cinematography. Even the puns are above average. Brosnan manages to display the confidence of Connery, the elegance of Moore and the ruthless edge of Dalton. The result is the ultimate Bond movie. Sadly the next 3 movies would never approach this level of quality.
2	Magb	70 _39th
At one point in this film, M says to Bond: "I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War." Frankly, it's hard to disagree with her. At least the writers knew what they were up against. Besides, GoldenEye is entertaining, Brosnan and Bean play their parts well, and the film is a perfectly fine way to spend a couple of hours. I don't think focusing too much on the sexual politics of it all does a whole lot of good.
2	doctor7	73 _57th
One of the better Bond films to come out lately. Pierce Brosnan did a great job but he's no Sean Connery. Then again, no one's Sean Connery. Still if you like James Bond you should like this.
2	theficionado	37 _34th
Years later, still caught in the Cold War era. With the Russkies unavailable, it seems the franchise didn't know what to do with itself and thus stuck to what it knew. Half a decade removed from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, its reluctance to move on is either charming or embarrassing. Likely, a bit of both.

This movie which is great lead to one of the greatest video games ever. Goldeye for Nintendo 64.
2	wetwillies	100 _98th
My first 007 film and it rocks, dammit. Great game too :)
2	ZachReviews	96 _91st
I think it's honestly one of the strongest Bond films.
2	Paxton	64 _43rd
Opens really strongly, then is a Bond film.
2	The Pirate	90 _92nd
For me, GoldenEye comes with all of the best features in a Bond film: the charismatic, suave secret agent, action-packed fights and stunts, all the allure of espionage, and female characters that can actually contribute to the plan. Great performances, classic Bond style, and Pierce Brosnan driving a tank in a suit, you can't help but love GoldenEye!
1	Kavu	50 _25th
From the time when they really tried to make everything modern with CGI and synth music and failed miserably.
1	BattleToad	90 _89th
In Pierce Brosnan's first appearance as James Bond, the series was revitalized. It went back to a less campy, more suave and sophisticated Bond. Goldeneye has great action, a super cool story, and some of Bond's greatest moments since Sean Connery played the super spy. Awesome!
1	SmooveJ	84 _53rd
Brosnan's best outing as Bond.
1	grimsooth	86 _92nd
Great character interaction, well written, superb casting: this movie is everything that Bond Can be and impressive in it's own right.
1	angrypierre	80 _73rd
Probably my favourite Bond movie, although I wouldn't say it's the best one. Certianly the best non Ian Flemming story
1	joseywales	76 _76th
I agree with Tripwyre; GoldenEye (1995) is very good, but GoldenEye 64 is better.
1	SirRocko711	82 _61st
Probably one of the best action movies of the 90's, and one of the best Bonds.
1	caocao	76 _88th
Easily the best of the Brosnan Bonds, it has a steady pace that's more akin to the early Bonds. The finale's a bit cheap and flimsy but it's a pleasure getting to the climax.
1	patabongo	80 _52nd
Brosnan's first Bond is his best, but it's basically just a Greatest Hits of Bond and he has a girl's haircut in it. Gets bonus points for Famke Janssen killing people with her thighs.
1	helfen419	60 _19th
Pierce Brosnan has no business in these movies
1	bellamyr	80 _60th
Roger Moore is alleged to have commented that he and Connery would be forgotten after Brosnan's Bond - Based on this he may have a point. Brosnan owes far more to Connery's view of Bond but brings Moore's charm - a heady mix. Great stunts, a powerful villain and co-stars. For my money, Tina Turner doesn't quite make the grade with the main theme, other than that ... Bond is back.
1	Ross	75 _78th
It holds up quite well. The score and the editing are not impressive. But Brosnan is a good Bond and the villains, especially Famke, are great. And the tank scene is still amazing. It is however shocking how many innocent Russian soldiers Bond kills in his escape in Moscow.
1	la boheme	65 _29th
. . . though the N64 game of this is excellent.
1	purgatos	75 _61st
This is a solid film that has good action set-pieces and good comedy as well. They mix both without doing anything too over the top or stupid with either. It showed promise for a Brosnan Bond, but the writers of the later films never could match up to this again.
1	Luna6ix	83 _83rd
a fine bond movie, brosnan fits in with the greats perfectly well. the action and wit are at top form, and that is what i love bond movies for.
1	lumpnboy	38 _29th
I don't really like James Bond movies. I saw this in Calcutta a long time ago and don't really remember it. The reason to comment on it here is that Pierce Brosnan plays Bond, but had previously parodied exactly that version of 'smooth' manly heroism in five seasons of "Remington Steele" - a transition that is as close as I can find to a second example of the genre of which 'Dark Star' is the first: the parody that comes before the 'serious' version, made by the same people (in some sense).
1	county_hell	30 _7th
more of the same from the world's most boring spy.
1	INDYATMN	79 _54th
Brosnan slips seamlessly into the Bond role & the romantic lead is not only beautiful, but a surprisingly good actress as well. Onatopp also makes for a great henchman & it's a great idea to have the villain be another Double O. The Russian accents may not be all there, but the characters are some of Bond's best. The only problem is the storyline which drags in the first hour; is filled w/ the usual large plotholes (how does the tank get in front of the train?); & rolls out too many tropes.
1	Langelund (CinemaZone.dk)	75 _77th
Undeservingly underrated, Brosnan's first Bond is the best instalment of the franchise in nearly two decades and since only matched by Campbell's own 'Casino Royale' and 'Skyfall'. The supporting cast (Bean, Cumming, Janssen, Coltrane and Dench in particular) is borderline great and that opening shot sets the scene like no other.
1	Optimus_mike	65 _40th
Oh man, the only thing I remember about this movie was the video game. And that gets a 100
1	Melvin Smif	55 _60th
Goldeneye 64 would get a 100.
1	chemtrails	80 _90th
Nice
1	NothingsGood	95 _98th
Remington Steele goes James Bond in this 90s post-Cold War reboot that pits 007 against his greatest foe yet, Sean Bean.
1	toneill92	45 _0th
Hard to even enjoy ironically.
1	Shosanna	30 _43rd
I can't help but feel like the film would be a lot better with Dalton as Bond. The script itself is good and so is the supporting cast, it's just that Brosnan is so dull I can't even. (3/5)
