No SPECTRE is better than GE. It aged badly.
Natalya, even then, was the kind of girl that get on the nerves. I was waiting for Bond to punch her.
The scene where she says her name to get out of the base and the computer doesn't work is bad, as is Boris I am Invincible!
There's not one character in SPECTRE as stupid and as unbearable as Boris. Couldn't even cheer when he died so stupid it was.
That dumb idiot also shakes his computer screen to get his computer to work, and it's a PC so he should shake the computer main body, not the screen which is separate. Bloody idiot.
Yup, I agree with most of this. Not the punching part, of course. But Natalya did work my nerves. And then the other extreme, Psycho-Kitty, was way too over-the-top. Don't get me wrong, there are parts of GoldenEye that I like. I thought it was a fun movie for its time, a great reentry for the Bond series. But I'm in complete agreement with all who note that it hasn't aged well. Brosnan's films suffer the same fate as many of Moore's, and a few of Connery's. The films that age better (and this is true, in general) are more stylish than fashionable. Which is not to say that none of Craig's films cater to current fashion; they do. But I think it's more muted.
