Pierce Brosnan and I have one thing in common

Brosnan, star of later Bond film "Goldeneye", told an interviewer that this movie was the first Bond flick he saw as a teenager in Dublin. With me it was the Stoneridge Theater in the Rochester NY suburb of Greece. My brother and I, along with two neighbor friends traveled to this early strip mall movie house in my old Chevy (I was the only one old enough to drive). One thing about Bond flicks that was true even back when this film was released during the mid-1960s was that they were FUN. Even the action stuff where bad guys died were at least partly funny. The viewer was free to crack jokes without getting a dirty look from a fellow viewer. One example was Goldfinger's bodyguard Oddjob, who suffered from a speech impediment (when the burly actor Harold Sakata later played one of Steve's detectives on "Hawaii Five-O", my first reaction was surprise that he could talk). Oddjob's only speech in this film was "Ah. Ah-ah". A later scene showed Bond arriving at Goldfinger's estate and is met out front by Goldfinger with an "ah". He then says "Mr. Bond!", but before he got to Bond's name, my brother whispered a quick wisecrack aside; "He must be the one who taught Oddjob to talk." Later Bond movies hae tried to maintain this fun aspect, with mixed result. This contrasts with most adventure films nowadays, which dazzle, confuse and bury you in mindless videogame-ish action. So if you don't like to blown away by blurred action that would send an epilepsy sufferer into a seizure, or grossed-out by the gory stuff, come on back to good old 007, the franchise that has lasted so long that no one actor could star in them all. I keep coming back, starting with doubling back to the first two the very next week. The old Stoneridge knew their audience, me and the guys attended a double feature of "Dr. No" and "From Russia With Love" that they ran for guys like us.

An Awesome Bond Movie

One of my favorite movies of all! The whole movie I was thinking, "How will James get out of this one?". Oddjob was a realy cool villain and I had no clue how Bond could kill him. Overall, an excellent movie as are the other Bond movies. You have got to see this amazing movie.

Goldfinger

Not the best, but it was good. I learned Goldfinger was a big fat cheater.

Arguably the Best

Taken in context of when Goldfinger was made, it's understandable why it's so widely considered as the best Bond. The title is classic and well publicized, as well as the name of the lead female role, Pussy Galore. Apparently many fans think Honor Blackman was an unattractive choice, but apart from her somewhat stern voice and people's unrealistic standards, she was a beautiful girl. There's even a nice little tid-bit on her by Sick-Boy in the movie Trainspotting, another excellent film. Sean Connery's performance as Bond was at it's peak and director Guy Hamilton did his best take on Fleming's famous spy. Ranging from Miami to Scotland, Switzerland, and Kentucky, the locations were all well portrayed. The plot is solid, intriguing and was transferred onto the screen with believability. My only major point of criticism is the instantaneous knocking out and waking up of the troops during the climax, but hey, Bond is ficticious and it's a movie!

review of Goldfinger

Agood James Bond film with Sean Connery as 007. Goldfinger plans to sabotage the gold supply at Fort Knox

From the opening bomb blast outside a steamy nightclub to a last-minute escape from the president's personal jet, James Bond's third screen adventure is an exhilarating, pulse-pounding thrill-ride! Sean Connery takes command as Agent 007 and faces off wit
