This next entry sits almost alone in modern Bonds in any top lists, nearly twenty years after the rest of my top five
4. Goldeneye
 |
| Best Game Ever |
It’s another reboot for Bond, and after a much needed break
in the early 90s, Pierce Brosnan provides us with a suave, sophisticated Bond
who gives the perfect blend of action and style. Goldeneye features one of the
most coherent plots in the series, full of twists and turns, as well as a nice
personal angle for Bond, and a nice shiny new M, played by Judi Dench, who
really helps to bring Bond out of the Cold War…and the 80s in general
Pros:
Tasty plot
Brosnan at his best
Cons:
Answers on a postcard
The only con I can think of is the gadgets weren't used, and the car seemed to have been chucked in as an afterthought (Q: "all the usual refinements etc")
ReplyDeleteThe z3 totally skipped my mind...in it's defence it was probably the least intrusive product placement of the Brosnan series
