And OHMSS is a boring movie.I always fell a sleep there.

Maybe if you stayed awake you'd find it a better film.

[Onyx2626]

Brosnan's best. Good villian, good girl, good final fight and we get to see the Aston Martin. Only complaint: not enough Minnie Driver.

[Genrewriter]

I think it's a great film with only the score keeping it from being the best.

[Agent 76]

not the best Bond film , but strongly the best Brosnan bond movie.

[walther ppk]

Goldeneye is the BEST BOND MOVIE!!

It's got everything you could want...

Two beautiful bond girls

Computer Hacking

A tank chase

Great Q Scene

Russians as the vilans

Spy satalites

Aston Martin DB5

Its just BRILLIANT
IMHO

[B007GLE]

GoldenEye is great: Brosnan's best and in my personal top 4.

I saw it at the American world premiere at Radio City two weeks or so before it opened nationwide and it was one of the best movie going experiences of my life.

I totally agree. I love this film, but the strange, overt synth score ruins it. It's crying out for a big orchestra and something stylish. David Arnold was a revelation for the music when he took over.

[SeanConnery007]

i dont know why but i actually like the eric serra score i like that sort of atmospheric style of music it fit the movie perfectly

[Qwerty]

There are certain bits of the score that I do like, such as the totally odd track played when Bond and Xenia engage in road rage during the beginning of the film and the music that ocurs in the finale, but other parts of it leave a bit more to be desired.

I think the music in the pretitles was alright but it might have been a better idea to use more "Bond-like" music when we get to the present day.

[Xenia's Ferrari]

to my liking the score is smooth. like bond seducing women the music seems to seduce as well.

Yes, I have to admit that the 'Goldeneye Overture' is indeed a catchy tune.

[SeanConnery007]

yeah i love the goldeneye overture the rest of the music is ok but the overture is really cool and catchy

[SnakeEyes]

The GE score sounds very 'Russian' which is great, but there is something missing from it that I can't quite put my finger on.

It's a decent score, but perhaps not familiar enough to us.

[Triton]

I would have preferred to have heard the "James Bond sound" in GoldenEye, but the electronic score by Eric Serra seems to fit most the images on screen. The only piece of music I wish they would have left out was Serra singing "The Experience of Love".

I would disagree with the assertion that GoldenEye is the best Bond film, but it was certainly welcome after the six year gap between it and License to Kill.

[Onyx2626]

Love was not what I experienced during the closing credits. I kept thinking "Please God, say that isn't a Peter Gabriel outtake."

GE was rather back to basics though, and worth the long wait. Brosnan had such a great fight in this one w/ Sean Bean, though none that good since. Martin Campbell did a good job.

For some reason, I think Brosnan saying,"Moneypenny I'm devastated" and "Q, I'm familiar with that device" made me feel like 007 had indeed returned. Maybe it was that gray suit...thou shalt not covet thy neighbors suit

[Triton]

I think that most of the Bondian elements were able to return because MGM/UA was willing to give the film a proper budget. It certainly increased the scope of the film when compared to Licence to Kill.

[SeanConnery007]

true if licence to kill would of had a big budget the story could of made it easily the best bond film

[Qwerty]

No, I don't think the size of the budget had too much of an effect on Licence To Kill. It certainly was a huge drop for that specific film. After the astronomical budget of Moonraker, they had been slowly keeping a stricter budget for most of the Bond films produced in the 80's.

[DanMan]

I think it's awesome, but IMO it's the second best Bond film just behind Die Another Day.

[Dr.Carl_Mortner2]

Good grief -- to hear some of these comments, you'd think that half of the people writing on this thread had never even seen a non-Brosnan BOnd movie.

Goldeneye is OK, at best. It's certainly the best of Brosnan's Bonds, for whatever that's worth. It still bears the mark of the the late Albert Broccoli, which in and of itself ensures quality. Ilike a lot of Bruce Feirstein's dialogue and the presentation of Bond as a walking anachronism in a new world. To that extent, I think Goldeneye should have been the LAST Bond film, not the hearkening of a new era.

[JimmyBond]

Are we talking personal favorites? Or just the best film that Brosnan has made? If it's the latter I'd say TND is the best Brosnan has done. Tightly edited, beautifully shot, and David Arnold's score is great.

Goldeneye has a lot going for it too, the score is great, but Brosnan seems unsure of himself in a few scenes, and that kind of takes the film down a notch or two.

As for my favorite Brosnan film, anyone who knows me knows that I love DAD But TND is my close second. Though I would call niether the best Bond film ever.

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

I agree that GOLDENEYE is the best Brosnan film. Ironically, it was the first Bond film I ever saw! The videogame was cool too.

But it's not the best Bond ever, though.

That goes to From Russia with Love
