IJW: Goldeneye [1995]

So I finally got to the Pierce Brosnan era of my James Bond watch and it starts with goldeneye from 1995. Going into it, I thought I would like this era more because it was more modern and off-the-wall and that’s kind of what I got.

I like the casting of Pierce Brosnan because he has that suaveness and sophistication. I also enjoyed the action and I was invested in the story. I also thought it had a very good villain.

Rating-4.5/5

I love all the Brosnan bond films!

What’s interesting to me is that at the time, Pierce was getting roasted for being a bad actor, and the movies were cheesy.

In retrospect tho, as a collection / era, his Bond collection is far superior to the Daniel Craig era which comes next. The Craig era really only had one great films (Casino Royale) and one good one (Skyfall) and some duds.

All of the Brosnan movies feature an outrageous plot; wacky accents; and you know exactly what you’re gonna get.

Yes! I have come to notice Pierce's Bond looks very similar to Roger Moore. Uncannily at times.
