Review of GoldenEye (1995) by Dann M — 10 Nov 2012

Pierce Brosnan resurrects the Bond franchise in GoldenEye. The story follows James Bond as he investigates the destruction of a Russian satellite station that was believed to have developed a super weapon.

Brosnan was born to be Bond, and does an excellent job portraying the character; keeping him suave and charming, but also tough and dangerous. Sean Bean also gives an impressive performance; crafting one of the most challenging and personal villains that Bond has ever faced.

However, the Bond girls don't quite work, and the theme song is terrible. Still, the plot is fairly tight and the action scenes are energetic and exciting. GoldenEye is a fun and action packed adventure with a new Bond for a post-Cold War era.
