Me too. I like TSWLM a lot more than FYEO, though, but I do find myself getting very bored at the halfway mark. Definitely the most overrated Bond flick ever, TSWLM. Give me MOONRAKER instead (widely regarded as an inferior retread of TSWLM).

NO! GOLDFINGER IS THE MOST OVERRATED FILM EVER!!!

I have to disagree. Goldfinger is BRILLIANT. How can you hate a film with a Korean, golfball crushing, bowler hat killing henchman. It's brilliant.

I gotta love the film GoldFinger, it does have many good elements, but I will agree here that it is very, very overrated. I still love it though.

Rather than enumerating the low points of the movie, I will name the stupidest scene in the movie. As Khan escapes with OP, Bond chases on horseback and grabs on to the plane as it takes off. No parachute. Sorry, but there is no way in hell that anyone in his right mind would do that. It was just plain dumb.

Yeah, you're right: Brosnan driving his motorcycle off the cliff in the GOLDENEYE precredit sequence made so much more sense :) Strangely, a lot of people still think GE to be a good film... Why should 'realism' be a criterium for a 'good' Bond film??
