Summary of Goldeneye

Directed by Martin Campbell, Goldeneye makes the transition to a more modern image for the James Bond series. Bond's out-of-date womanizing is presented with a feminist challenge from the newly cast Judi Dench as an impenetrable M, and Samantha Bond as a wiser and more forthright Moneypenny. The action sequences, replete with helicopter hijinks and copious explosions, are complex and stylish, making the film a polished sensation.

This installment in the series introduces actor Pierce Brosnan in the role of suave, debonair, irresistible 007. Despite the end of the Cold War, James Bond still finds himself pitted against nefarious Russians who want to rule the world. This time around, his enemies are a gang of mobsters and former military men who have gained access to the Goldeneye, which can cut off electrical currents in London. Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) is the leader, with General Ourumov (Gottfried John) an additional threat. Sizzling Bond babe Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen) is the sleek robber who, with Ourumov, successfully steals the Goldeneye, which the villains plan to use in their quest to control financial markets around the globe. However, this grizzly group of scoundrels is no match for Bond, who constantly outwits their attempts to assassinate him. Bond rescues the tough and lovely Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), who was caught in Trevalyan's deadly web, and she eventually helps Bond turn the tables on his foes as he uses his quick instincts, innovative weapons, and cool gadgetry to save the day.

Critics Reviews

TV Guide
The writers get the mix just about right, and first-time Bond director Martin Campbell moves things along fairly briskly.
Variety
Most crucially, Brosnan makes the grade as 007. He handles the action capably and gets the standard quips out in a commendably straightforward way that's wry but not dismissive.

Users Reviews

GOLDENEYE: I have always loved watching movies starring MINNIE DRIVER, This is one of my favorite movies and I highly recommend it. MINNIE always give 100%, and her acting is always very convincing and spot on. I give this movie 5*****STARS.
Good Bond Movie
Pierce Brosnan proved he's worthy of the Aston Martin and the the Q gadgets in his first role as 007. The movie overall is good and gives a convincing interpretation of the modern Bond.
