What the hell is going on with this music?

Bonds facial expressions when he's racing with Xenia are just hilariously bad.

Fancy Clown · Dec 19, 2014

It's decidedly 90's and cheesey as fuck, but it's still a lot of fun

Sounds like the menu music from SSX3. Wonder how that game has aged?

Abounder · Dec 19, 2014

Goldeneye is INVINCIBLE

But in general time has been unkind to the Brosnan era

It is still entertaining if not actually good. The script was a relic from the cold war but it still works because it is not too serious. But that music...

terrisus · Dec 19, 2014

Thought you meant the game.

freddy · Dec 19, 2014

I bet it ages better than you.

speculawyer · Dec 19, 2014

Dude, the game is from 3 console generations ago. You have to to judge it within its time.

And at the time, it was GREAT.

Edit: oh . . . the movie. The movie is great too.

Man God · Dec 19, 2014

The music was always bad. Even back then, outside of that killer main theme. Weird synth, cinemax softcore porn ending theme.

The actual movie though? Dope as fuck. It's a shame the rest of his Bond movies are among the worst in the series. Die Another Day is easily the worst in the series and Tomorrow Never Dies isn't that far behind.

GoldenEye is a 1995 film starring Pierce Brosnan.

GoldenEye 007 is a 1997 video game made by Rare.

Truant · Dec 19, 2014

Actually, some of the cinematography is pretty damn good. And Famke is just ridiculously over the top in every scene.

rezuth · Dec 19, 2014

Age well? It was never good. All the bond movies with Pierce Brosnan were terrible.

Toparaman · Dec 19, 2014

It was never good in the first place.

In fact, every time someone says X didn't age well, it was usually never good in the first place.

Guevara · Dec 19, 2014

I kind of think Goldeneye is the best Bond movie, past or present. The whole thing is so damn memorable.

Inwincible!
Onatop?
For England, James?

WonkyPanda · Dec 19, 2014

I think the sequence, music and all, is great.

Jawmuncher · Dec 19, 2014

Oh wow would not have guessed 1995 for this.

Truant · Dec 19, 2014

I'm going to post as I watch.

Bond speaking french to his vallet buddy? C'mon.
Brosnan does not look good in a tux.

Grexeno · Dec 20, 2014

The music is pretty bad, but it's still one of the best Bond films.

maquiladora · Dec 20, 2014

Get out. GoldenEye is awesome.

Josh with a J · Dec 20, 2014

I love that movie but I've always thought the racing scene was awful

Not · Dec 20, 2014

For a second I was worried I was in the gaming thread. You'n I were 'bout to fight.

Persona7 · Dec 20, 2014

It was not good to begin with...I saw the movie after playing the game.

I'm sorry but that game has not aged well at all.

Priz · Dec 20, 2014

The cast in that movie is AMAZING. So many great actors, some in bizarre as hell roles:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113189/

Sean Bean, Famke Janssen (in the role that made her famous in the US), Joe Don Baker (so many great roles), ROBBIE COLTRANE with MINNIE DRIVER playing his wife! ALAN CUMMING as 1337 h4x0r Boris!

....It hasnt? Got outdated with Perfect Dark...and then again with Timesplitters 2....and then with most MP shootrs in the next few years

Truant · Dec 20, 2014

Did not remember that Xenia actually orgasms from killing people. I saw this film as a kid and just thought she was doing it for show. Dayum gurl.

Didn't realize the game came out two years after the movie. Weird.

It was ok.

bennywhatever · Dec 20, 2014

This movie was amazing. Talked about the KGB and the Lienz Cossacks, and I loved the 006 subplot.

Yeah, the whole "Goldeneye Satellite" is really corny 007 stuff that was used like 3 or 4 times, but the rest of the movie was great. Xenia was awesome, Boris was an idiot but great comic relief, Trevelyan was a sweet idea for a villain that was kinda-reused in Skyfall.

IdreamofHIME · Dec 20, 2014

Use the bumper that's what it's for.

This movie is timeless.

This is the best one. I rewatched it a couple of years ago, for the first time as an adult, and just had a "Wait...what?!" moment when she turned up for like a minute total, purely to sing badly.

Also no you're wrong it's amazing

TheContact · Dec 20, 2014

I think it aged well. Goldeneye is still my favorite bond movie. I love pierce as bond but that's just because he was the bond I watched growing up.

Sectorseven · Dec 20, 2014

I think Goldeneye has a great score. It took a lot of chances and came out really unique while still keeping that Bond feel.

Tugatrix · Dec 20, 2014

The movie is actually good and fun, the music hasn't aged well I grant that, but the action scenes can't get any better

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRmTYXg2j98

Truant · Dec 20, 2014

Bond just killed the deckhand on the Manticore with a fucking towel, then wipes his face with the SAME TOWEL. Scene ends.

What the fuck is going on with this film.

Escape Goat · Dec 20, 2014

Onatopp...winkwinkwinkwinkwink

GoldenEye 007 · Dec 20, 2014

I've aged quite well I think.

DiscoJer · Dec 20, 2014

GoldenEye is a (campy) 1970s James Bond movie done in the 1990s.

That whole scene felt more 80s than 90s. Not many films were rocking out to 1986 synth rock in the mid 90s.

Truant · Dec 20, 2014

Bond just discovered the body of the commander that Xenia killed with her sex. He died doing what he loved.

Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku! · Dec 20, 2014

The airplane stunt in the beginning is still great

mreddie · Dec 20, 2014

No, World is Not Enough aged badly.

dvdjamm · Dec 20, 2014

It's going for $4.99 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/Go...IN=B009NUV0E8&ASIN=B009NUV0E8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

CaptainSlow · Dec 20, 2014

Still my favorite Bond movie, but yeah, that scene with an old Aston racing with a brand new Ferrari is pretty awful.

jts · Dec 20, 2014

No mention of Natalya, A.K.A. Izabella Scorupco A.K.A. cutest and hottest and bestest bond girl ever and my waifu, GAF you have failed. Get out.

Well . . . it is a little less obvious than Pussy Galore and Holly Goodhead.
