Review of GoldenEye

GoldenEye (1995)
8/10
much better than the Craig films
9 October 2022
The problem with Daniel Craig is that he's a rather ugly, brutish Bond with limited acting chops. The films have lots of action, but there is a black hole in the center. Goldeneye was the best Brosnan outing and one of the better Bond films. The franchise is probably dead for all practical purposes. Craig didn't kill it, but he watched it die.

The secondary characters are all good here, with the exception of Bean, who is a bland villain. The general Oumurov character was also too much of a cliche.

This is a quintessential Bond film, with a typical blow up the world mentality from the bad guys. It's not a particularly interesting film, but it's well done.
