James Bond has never looked cooler than in Goldeneye. Brosnan had everything down to a T. The tuxedo, the hair, the swag and not to mention his charisma and humor. Being well built and convincing in fight scenes also helps. When I think of Bond, Goldeneye Brosnan is the first version I think about.

Pierce Brosnan was born to be a Bond. His charisma only made the other 3 bond movie work. He deserved a better send off too

Xenia Onatopp was and still one of the sexiest villainess in the James Bond franchise

Goldeneye is and always will be my definitive Bond movie. My favorite Bond, villain, Bond girl & chase.

I was 8 years old, I turn on the TV and put a random channel, suddenly A TANK BREAKS A WALL AND THE BOND THEME PLAYS ALONG, became a fan instantly 🔥

The Goldeneye N64 game and the movie are a big part of my childhood

Couple things: First, Brosnan's wife Cassandra Harris was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1988, which led him to take a temporary break from acting. His career didn't falter. Second, Jack Ryan is a CIA analyst, not a spy. Those are not spy movies.

No talk about the best character, Borris? He is in invincible!

I'm so grateful that Pierce Brosnan didn't get a role in 1986, but I'm so-so-so grateful that he finally did in 1994!!!

Judy dentch has done 7 bond movies. Thats incredible that a woman is one of the best characters of this series. We all should applaud her work.

The teaser trailer is the greatest ever made and probably always will be

My favorite Bond Movie to be honest. I just like Sean Bean as a Villain and this whole Finale on this Antenna was just a great Experience.

My favorite bond film of all time and the one that got me into the franchise also Famke Janssen/Xenia Onatopp is still the sexiest woman to ever grace the bond films.

"And his hair looks great" Fun fact, after rewatching GoldenEye last year, I decided to get my hair cut short to how his looked in the movie. Before I got it cut, my hair was like, halfway down my back, and had been that way for years. So thanks Pierce Brosnan, my biggest man crush, for inspiring me to have short hair again, which I absolutely love

Golden Eye was fricken amazing for kids in the 90s, and then n64 came around and took it to another level.

My favorite James Bond movie by far. Pierce Brosnan portrayed the perfect balance in every aspect that 007 should have. He's the best James Bond ever.

9:25 I was 12 when it came to theaters. My late grandma was a huge fan of the old bond movies and took me to the cinema. The scenes with Ms Onatopp were really uncomfortable. :D After we got home from the cinema she said to my mother: "This wasn’t the James Bond I remember …“ and I was grinning like an imbecile searching for my toy guns. It was a good day.

THIS was the Bond that got me hooked. I was 11 when this came out and it was EVERYWHERE. Its the first film I've seen more than once in the cinema. I loved it. I loved the novelisation, I loved the soundtrack, I loved the VHS, I loved the amazing game and by god I loved Famke Jannsen! 😂 This film ignited my curiosity about so many things. Especially history. I actually had the Internet, in Ireland, in early 1996 and through that 56k.modem I looked up stuff I didn't know about. What was EMP? What was the KGB? what is the Tiger Eurocopter? A relic of the cold War? Well let me see about the closing days of the Cold War. If I couldn't find it on Web 1.0, then I could find a book in library to tell me about it. I just LOVED this film. It was fresh, exciting, sexy, interesting, memorable and just shot beautifully. I loved that Pierce was Irish too! I got this on VHS and then it Was an early dvd purchase for me. Definitely Famke was the best Bond Girl until Eva Green took the crown for ever. I was excited for TND and while let down a bit it was still a classic Bond film if a bit understated. It was just the right balance of gritty and crazy I think. The amazing prologue against the mental tank chase?? But it WORKS! Pierce is a wonderful Bond in this. Rough, ruthless but also charismatic and witty. He has the right balance. Basing M on Stella Maxwell who became head of MI5 was genius and it really broke up the dusty old wood panelled office and weathered civil servant with an upcoming knighthood giving orders...great casting. While TND was gearing up the INCREDIBLE Goldeneye was just an experience in 1997 and something very special. As I have said many times on comments to me the video game Everything Or Nothing, to me, is Pierces final outing as Bond. NOT DAD... If it was a movie it would be up there with Goldeneye. Having a former agent be the nemesis was done brilliantly,, but... if i had one gripe it is that it dooesnnt have enough scenes of Alec outsmarting James or playing him at his own game etc. It lacks some beats where we see how difficult a foe he will be because he is trained the same as James. Maybe Skyfall and Silva did it better, that's a debate in its own but still... I loved this in 95 annd it has aged remarkably well. Top film.

My favorite Bond movie to this day.

I hope that when he gets to "the world is not enough" he gives it the credit it deserves. that movie is so good and people just love to hate on it because of Christmas Jones. infinitely better than tomorrow never dies.

Goldeneye is a top three James Bond movie of all time.

The musical score by Eric Serra was epic. I felt that chilly mechanical score worked great. Anyone else agree?

I always wanted Trevelyan's outfit from the final act it was so simple, but badass.

Best one-liner, possibly in the entire series: "She always did enjoy a good squeeze"

I remember when this movie came out, it was so talked about, the ads with the opening bungee jump scene was crazy!

"For England James?" "No for me." I saw that in so many memes following the recent collapse of the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo Puerto Rico. Excellent Bond movie definitely one of the best and absolutely the best story Brosnan had to work with.

As a little kid in the 80s I saw both Timothy Dolton films but wasn't mature enough to even know what I was watching. As a teen at 14, I saw this and absolutely LOVED it, and like all kids my age, had an even bigger stamp on my heart from this film due to the classic N64 game. Lots of amazing 4-player party nights with friends with that one. Loved its excellent parallels that game had with the film. Always thought the villain chick Xenia Onotop was one of the hottest women I've ever seen

I'm disappointed that there was no mention of the recently collapsed radio telescope at Arecibo.

Such a cool movie when it came out. Was also my first time seeing Bond in the cinema, and I was so stoked when it came out. Love this movie to this day. The Dalton movies are something special to me, though - as they were the first 'new' home release Bonds which I saw, and loved them from the very beginning.

I'm 50 yet this is my absolute favorite Bond movie.

I always thought Brosnan looked like the perfect cross between Connery and Moore.

The 1st Bond I watched in a theater. I still remember the excitement

One of the best bond movies

The soundtrack seemed to have a dark, ominous feel to it. I kinda liked it actually.

Also, this film introduced Bond's use of the Omega Seamaster line of watches. Which perseveres to this day.

I absolutely love Goldeneye, the N64 game every night and this seeing this movie was so good.

The Score for this one is absolutly awesome!

Chip Douglas: "What a place for an ending, huh? It's like that movie 'Goldeneye'!"

My fav bond film for the same reasons. Thanks for highlighting it! Also you have a pleasant narration voice 👍

Yep this was a huge deal. I forget how old I was when this came out, but. I had been a bond fan since was only about 5 or 6 years old. I was beyond excited to finally see a new bond film in the theater.

One of my favorite Bond films

The opening to that teaser trailer is just... Wow... So epic

The 13 dislikes are from the people who would turn off the N64 if you picked odd-job

9:44 Izabella Scorpolo...haha No her name is Izabella Scorupco. Sco-rup-co

That scene when Bond is walking behind the trolley with the explosives barrels that squeaks was hilarious.

Legitimately one of my favorites! Thanks for doing this one!

Agreed on "True Lies" - it was awesome!

Goldeneye is, hands down, one of the TOP 5 in the entire series! Fabulous movie!

This bond also has the best soundesign in its Soundtrack. I love the instrumentation and the sounds they used. Rare also did a good job in reimagine it for the n64 game.

This film brought bond back the casual viewers who are not familiar with the in and outs of the 007 books and films instead of catering to the hardcore Ian Fleming fans. I grew up with this film and it was the first bond film I ever watched. GoldenEye is a top 10 bond film and a personal favourite of mine. What a great action film for the 90s. Easily a very memorable action film for the 90s. It's up there with T2 and The Fugitive. Brosnan was so perfect for this role and glad he did because he's one of most memorable action stars in the last 30 years. GoldenEye is a 10/10 film.

I was born in 1989, this is my first memory of a new Bond film. I was vaguely familiar with a few Connery and Moore films. But this was exciting!

I love Goldeneye and Eric Serra's score! Especially during the pen scene. But for me Tomorrow Never Dies is the better film and best Brosnan entry. That movie is awesome and holds up surprisingly well today. Looking forward to that video!

When Q talks about traffic laws the east Pierce Brosnan gives him a slight double take is great and shows Pierce knows how to be subtle with his comedy as well as direct.

The Tina Turner song is my favorite Bond song. Alan Cummings is hilarious in this movie.

It was the first Bond movie I got to see from a vhs rental at 13. I had seen Never Say Never Again and Moonraker on tv, but this was the first time I got to see it unedited, without commercials or analog interference and on a 32 inch screen which was awesome at the time. It was quite the experience. And I know everyone rags on the soundtrack but even to this day I enjoy those cold anvil strike sounds throughout the movie, as a reminder that the USSR had recently fallen but could still be a threat. Great movie.

Thanks for the last invincible entry - epic moment

Goldeneye is Pierce Brosnan's best movie. It's sad his next movies slowly went downhill. Despite all of that he is still one of the best and most charismatic Bonds of all time

This was my first ever Bond movie. My older sister took me to see it in the theater when it came out.

Amazing. No discussion on the great teritary villain of this film... Boris Ivanovich Grishenko! Where is the love? He was... INVINCIBLE!

What a superb review of Goldeneye. Thanks, it's an absolute classic.

great review, appreciate all the historical context you gave too

Goldeneye is easily one the best Bond films! It was the first Bond I ever saw and as you mentioned, an important movie in regards to my love of video games. I personally like the score for the film, its an acquired taste fore sure. The best scene in the film is the Q worksop scene and the idea that Bond thinks a sandwich could be a gadget haha. Great video once again mate!

I remember seeing this in the movie theatre with schooldays friends. We all loved it.

I still play Goldeneye on the N64 til this day 😊

I always felt Brosnan was a more youthful bond even more so after the darker and more grizzled portrayal by daulton. I see Sean Bean playing something in between Moore and Daulton, a seasoned veteran but not to the point of being burnt out.

I love the soundtrack expect for the car race between Xenia and Bond

That is also the movie where James dodged a lot of bullets :) Enemies worked as a stormtroopers in Star Wars universe

Great video as always. I really enjoy these

Awesome video - thank you!

Been waiting on this review.... Goldeneye will always be THE Bond film for me. Yeah, I'd seen all the previous films via the old TBS Bond-a-Thons, but this was the very first one I saw in theater. Brosnon was on point in this film, and yeah the villains were probably the best since the SPECTRE days during Connery's time in the tux. Sean Bean (he who dies in 95% of his films) was great, and let's face it. Famke Jansen stole the show. Personally the best aspect of Goldeneye is not only was it the first Bond film I saw in theater, but I've seen ever Bond flick in theater with my father since this one. Its a marvelous tradition that I'm very grateful to have.

I loved this movie when it came out. One thing that also makes this movie special was Goldeneye on Nintendo 64, which is not only one of the best movie licence game in videogame history, but also made first person shooters work on consoles.

It would be cool if Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan could come back as Bond villains.

Goldeneye was my first Bond as well. It's dated in a lot of ways, but it's just so damn good to me. When I think of "James Bond" I instantly think of Pierce Brosnan in his stealth suit at the beginning of this film.

when u talked about the trailer, and the pressentation of brosnan i was overjoyd, i was a james bond fan, was at this time as u in high school, gonna se my first on the big screen and it was magic, brosnan has always been a mix of connery and moore, theirfor a perfect bond, so goldeneye is great

Nice !!!!!! Great video . New fav Channel

Saw this in theater when i was 9. Loved it. Also loved the music anthem. And we played the game for years to come. Truly an epic time!

Yes my favourite bond actor thank you so much this film introduced me to bond

I'm programming a 4 player Goldeneye for the Game Boy Advance! Such a great movie and game.

14:14 - "Yes!! I am _a popsicle!"_ 🥶

För England, James ? Nej för mig !

I'm a musician & I totally agree with your analysis of the score. Really lame in most spots! I'm a Timthy Dalton fan, but agree that this is Brosnan's best outing. Agree totally with your number rating for aspects of the film. Thanx for all your hard work!

I was so excited for this installment of James Bond Revisited since this was my first James Bond film i have ever watched at the cinema as a teenager. I never liked as much ,any other James Bond film !

Pierce brosnan 🧤 down the best James Bond ever loved GoldenEye love Tomorrow never dies my two favorite James Bond movies

I'm probably in the minority, but Éric Serrá's score for the movie is one of my favourites.

Ha, we must be around the same age since GoldenEye was also my first Bond film I got to watch at a movie theater.

I always thought the intro was the best of all bond movies. Running past the the gate down the dam, being out of breath hooking up the bungee, and diving off the dam while it’s almost silent.

Great review!

Pierce Brosnan is favorite James Bond and Goldeneye 1995 is one of my favorite Bond films. I used to play the game all the time many years ago.

Great video 🥰

The sad part about the plane dive at 5:18 being “too CGI and unrealistic” is that they actually had a stuntman do the stunt!

I enjoyed seeing this, since a lot of people seemed to have forgotten how important Goldeneye was to keeping the franchise going, and what a big deal it was when it came out. I've seen lots of people panning it lately, and being dismissive of Brosnan as Bond. I mean, at the time, critics were hailing Brosnan as the best Bond since Connery. Like you, I was a teen when it came out, and it seemed like everyone was going to see it, even if they had never seen a Bond film before. It's still one of my favorites.

I was A nostalgic Roger Moore fan as well. My dad got me into the James Bond films but this was also my first James Bond film in the theater. It was so exciting and Pierce Brosnan is now my favorite. The airplane scene at the beginning as a little over the top but I’m willing to suspend my disbelief for Bond.

Goldeneye will always be one of the best Bond movies of the 90s! Especially, the best video game for James Bond. The cast was perfect, the theme song, as well as the storyline

Pierce Brosnan is my favorite James Bond, I loved the Goldeneye.

It's gonna be weird when you get to "Die another day" and you finish the previous video by saying: But that's a story for another day... We had pretty much the same Bond experience: my Bond was Roger Moore, and my first Bond at the movies was Glodeneye!!! Great as usual, thanx!!!!

Goldeneye was the first Bond film I saw at the cinema, my Dad took me along as a 12 year old boy and I was instantly hooked. Brosnan is kinda 'my Bond' for that reason but I also thought he was a great 007 let down by some (later) mediocre films - such a shame

Goldeneye is one of the very best Bond films of all time. It's fantastic. I like how you have highlighted the different dynamic between this version of M and 007 in comparison to the Craig films. I'd like to add that Dench literally plays 2 separate versions of the character. In the Brosnan films she is seen initially as a modern, cold, number-crunching statistician before they develop a relationship based on mutual respect, whilst as stated, she views Bond as a 'relic of the cold war". In the Craig films it is she who is fact the relic of the cold war, she literally expresses a longing for that time.

WHAT? you called that opening scene phony?!?! with the motorcycle and jumping to the airplane? thats coolest scene from the whole franchise in my opinion

I remember the impact of this film so well. At the time I was a music student and I went to see it at the big odeon in Glasgow city centre with a gang of my friends. Everyone in the cinema went mental after that opening sequence and cheered at the end of the film. The theme song is awesome, but you're right about the score. Eric Serra has composed some great soundtracks but his style just didn't suit bond. I didn't realise the tank chase has been re-scored, but it makes sense as it is the only bond sounding part of the entire score! That one element is the only slight letdown for me. I rewatched the film recently and I still love it so much. I'm looking forward to your next review 😁
