GoldenEye (1995)

Before I get onto the story of this film there is a few things I have to get off my chest, firstly now the years have passed you get to notice that this film can be quite childish at times from the extremely corny but lovely one liners that come of Pierce Brosnon which we either love or hate, the scene where Pierce decides to get into a tank even though there was a tank right next to him when he gazes his man whore eyes at the tank in the distance and when Pierce takes out the horse winged statue with the tank which somehow manages to stay on the tank all the way through the scene which at times ruins the maturity of the film but do we still love it, perhaps. 

Story sets of with James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Alec Treveylan (Saun Bean) committing a raid on a chemical weapons plant in the soviet union where unfortunately they are captured, however James Bond manages to escape but the same can't be said for Alec Treveylan. Later on Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen) commits a raid of her own on a secret military base with the help of her malicious soldiers and steals the controls of an high tech weapons satellite system called GoldenEye, after getting what she needs she removes all witnesses from the equation killing everyone in the military base for the only one who is left alive Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco) who joins up with James Bond in hope to stop Xenia Onatopp committing further disasters with the power of the GoldenEye. 


Characters, well I have to say all performances are pretty top notch apart from the cheesiness of melodrama coming from Pierce Brosnan and Izabella Scorupco, to me I would consider Sean Bean, Famke Janssen and Alan Cumming to be the best characters they play through the entire film, funny enough it's the villains with best job than the hero's in this film, especially Famke Janssen who seems to get a little bit excited when killing people. Q played by Desmond Llewelyn is the most loveable character in the film, whenever I watch a James Bond I always look forward to his appearance and it is uttermost a shame that he is no longer with the world.

Action is almost perfect apart from what I mentioned above, it adds all the elements of action into most of the scenes as possible from exploding trains, cars helicopters and pens. Overall if you can get passed the one liners coming from Pierce Brosnan character and some immaturity you'll certainly have an enjoyable watch of this film.
