GoldenEye

I love Goldeneye! Good story, great action, great music, and funny moments. Without doubt a great film! Have a great day!

A new appreciation for this movie!! A real gem! Pierce Brosnan was a great Bond and the supporting actors were sooooooo good! I am amazed at the record breaking stunts in this movie!A real treat!

Pierce Brosnan has stepped into the role of James Bond with a more serious and intelligent MI6 agent…007.The opening sequence of jumping off a high dam remains the greatest stunt in any movie. (Sorry Tom Cruise)Great action (with occasional childish sexual entendres). Never boring as Bond drives a Soviet Tank in a vehicle race through Moscow, saving a plane from crashing with nuclear weapons on board, fighting on a Soviet era armored train, then dealing with two Bond “girls” who are intelligent women with their own fighting skills.This is Brosnan’s best 007 movie out of the four films he did.

I've seen the movie several times and finally decided to buy it. This is a good edition - looks good; sound is good and the effects are fine. If you like Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, this is the best of his appearances.

This is Brosnan's first appearance as James Bond, and it was a good one. Unlike Roger Moore's cartoonish first effort, "Live and Let Die", there is no bad guy blowing up, (done rather shabbily, too...it was an obvious dummy!) and like the venerable Connery, who, unfortunately, hit his peak as 007 with "Goldfinger", Brosnan hit a winner right out of the box with this exciting, well shot action film with good characters, (Alan Cumming's "Boris" and Famke Janssen's "Xenia Onatopp",) and a techno subplot very reminiscent of "Diamonds Are Forever" and "You Only Live Twice".Famke Janssen plays a maniacal villainess who admires Bond in her own sick way, but the fascinating thing about this character is her slavish pleasure in destruction and killing. She actually takes a lurid GLEE in shooting and blowing up people, actually giggling girlishly as she does it! Her other specialty is squeezing the life out of male lovers with her thighs. No wonder she's a single girl, eh?Alan Cummings plays a self-absorbed computer geek working in Russia in a satellite station monitoring the Goldeneye non-ballistic weapon. This is a weapon that, instead of exploding with any nuclear or explosive force, shorts out connected electrical systems for miles around, ensuring no retaliation from the enemy. Onatopp and her "boss" spur the startup of this device, which Cumming's creepy Boris has allowed to happen through internal weakening of security at the base. One of his coworkers, a rather good looking young woman named Natalia, played by Izabella Scorupco, is caught in the station when Goldeneye targets IT first. This is one of the tensest scenes in the film. Boris, of course, survives this blast, along with Natalia. Onatopp and her boss escape via helicopter.M, played by Judy Dench, watches all this go down via war room maps at MI6, one blanking out completely after Goldeneye parboils the circuits at the Russian base. She sends Bond to look into it, and possibily save the day, but after berating him for being a "Cold War dinosaur", tells him to "come back alive".What follows is a decent tale of excitement, intrigue, betrayal and edgy close calls. The movie doesn't end when you think it will! Everybody's acting in it is pretty good for this type of movie and the cinematography and stunt work make Moore's movies look positively amateurish by comparison...Why, oh WHY did they waste 13 years on Roger Moore and his awful, jumbled, Matt Helm-like rehashes of Connery's old Bond films, with plots that went nowhere?

This was the era just before the Daniel Craig Bond reboots. Where they turned Bond into a lame generic Secret agent. This bond has infinite ammo turned on. and bad guys who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 5 feet.This, Octopussy, The man with the Golden Gun, Goldfinger are my favorites. Such Cheese. Such one liners. Such Gadgets. Also, the video game based on this movie was one of the greatest games ever made.

The title says it all! I've been a fan of the James Bond movies since the late '80s, mostly the Roger Moore & Sean Connery films, although this was a GREAT introduction to Pierce Brosnan as 007. I also enjoyed the supporting cast, especially Izabella Scorupco as Natalya Simonov & Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp. I also was glad that a woman(Judi Dench) was cast as M. What I really enjoyed were the wild action scenes, especially when James Bond was chasing the villains in a tank! I, actually, found a lot of the scenes to be kind of funny. I, also enjoyed the scene on the train. In fact, now I have all the James Bond movies that contain fights that take place on trains("From Russia, With Love", "Live & Let Die", "The Spy Who Loved Me" & "Octopussy" are the others). I'm especially glad that the film was dedicated to the memory of Derek Meddings. I also enjoyed the special features, especially the "GOLDENEYE" video journal featurette as well as the "World Of 007" featurette. To sum it up, this is a fantastic movie and I recommend it to anyone who's a fan of James Bond, like myself, Pierce Brosnan, or both, because, believe, me, you'll LOVE it!!!

I love this film! Looks perfect on this blu ray!

Buena película, de lo mejor de James Bond

Goldeneye was Pierce Brosnan's first Bond film and the first film of the 1990s, after Licence To Kill in 1989. I first saw it at the cinema in 1995 on its original release and thoroughly enjoyed it. I then bought the DVD of the film, watched it and enjoyed it all over again.Watching it now, though, it appears a bit dated, but it's still one of the best Bond films and is easily the best of the Brosnan era. The film is notable for it's decision to cast a female (Judi Dench) as M, partly due to the PC sensitivities of the time, which still pervade today. Sean Bean is also good as a rogue secret agent and Robbie Coltrane is also amusing as a Russian gangster, as is Alan Cumming, who has quite a large role in the film. The film also has some great stunts and action setpieces, though it isn't as action-packed as others in the series. The theme song by Tina Turner and written by U2's Bono and The Edge is also decent as well.Potential buyers may also be interested to know that this is the fully uncut version of the film, hence the higher 15 certificate. All this really equates to are a few headbutts during the fight scenes, though, so you shouldn't get too excited at the prospect of seeing uncut material. The material was previously cut by the BBFC, though, so this is as complete a version of the film as you will ever see, in the UK, anyway.All in all, this is a solid and very enjoyable film. If you haven't already seen it, then I highly recommend a purchase. Brosnan's Bond films went a bit downhill after this one, so it's as good as they got in the 1990s. Five stars from me.

If you're a James Bond fan then you probably don't me to re-hash the plot of this film. You'll more than likely know exactly where it sits in your own personal top 20. If, on the other hand, you're not familiar with Bond, or you've just never seen this particular film, then I can certainly recommend it. Goldeneye definitely makes my own top ten of Bond films - possibly pushing the top 5.For the record - and I'm no expert in the technical side of DVDs - this looked fine, but the sound was a bit off - I had to turn it up quite a bit. Aside from that, I hope that both seasoned fans, and those who are new to Bond will find the following useful and interesting. I've tried not to include any significant SPOILERS but apologies if you think I have - feel free to leave a comment, and I will look at amending what I've put.There are many things that go to make up a Bond film. Commonly cited are the gadgets, the 'girls' and the theme song. But there is more to it than that. I've always considered the pre-title sequence to be an important element. In this case it's really pretty effective. We're introduced to Pierce Brosnan as Bond for the first time, and we know we're going to have fun with this one, but in a no-nonsense kind of a way.The opening credits are nothing to write home about as Tina Turner belts out the theme song, doing her best Shirley Bassey impersonation, and it's not too long before we're introduced to the new 'M' played by Judi Dench. The character works, in my view, much better here before it was built up unnecessarily in the Daniel Craig films. Her sparring with 007 seems realistic and enjoyable to watch.Meanwhile all sorts of shenanigans is going on in Monte Carlo and Russia as the plot really kicks in and we get to know the baddies. They're a good bunch here: a sadistic female former soviet fighter pilot (Xenia Onatopp) who is plainly aroused by killing, a nerdy and arrogant computer programmer, an archetypal Russian general par excellence and finally Sean Bean's slightly unconvincing former '00' agent gone bad.There's the usual scene with Q as Bond acquires some new gadgets, which in this film are useful rather than spectacular, and an excellent 'car chase' of sorts and a good solid ending, complete with the baddies' hidden lair in an exotic location.It's always slightly unbelievable how the female characters (Dench aside!) end up falling in to Bond's arms so easily, and this film is no different on that score. But the sort of sexual wrestling that goes on with Onatopp is something of a novel twist. And then there is the other Russian computer programmer - not the nerdy arrogant one - the beautiful female one who becomes Bond's sidekick and lover for the duration of the film. In my opinion she is the best female character in any Bond film - as well as beautiful and intelligent, she is feisty and resourceful, and mostly gives as good as she gets.All in all, a great film and a great entry in to the Bond canon.

Mon préférer surtout que je suis de la génération N64 et le jeux du même titreGoldenEye (L'Œil de feu au Québec) est un film d'espionnage américano-britannique réalisé Martin Campbell sorti en 1995. C'est le 17e opus de la saga James Bond d'EON Productions et le premier où Pierce Brosnan tient le rôle du célèbre agent fictif du MI6. À la différence des films précédents de la série, le scénario n'est pas une reprise des travaux du romancier Ian Fleming1, bien que le titre GoldenEye soit inspiré de celui de son domaine à la Jamaïque. Le scénario original, conçu par Michael France, est écrit avec la collaboration postérieure de plusieurs autres auteurs. Le film raconte la lutte du MI6 contre un syndicat du crime désirant utiliser le satellite GoldenEye contre Londres afin de causer une crise financière globale.GoldenEye est sorti après des conflits légaux obligeant la série à un hiatus de six ans, durant lequel Timothy Dalton démissionne de son rôle de James Bond pour être remplacé par Pierce Brosnan. M est également remplacé par l'actrice Judi Dench, qui devient ainsi la première femme à jouer ce personnage. C'est le premier film de la série réalisé après la chute de l'URSS et la fin de la Guerre froide, ce qui fournit la trame de fond de l'histoire.
