DVD Review: Goldfinger
Summary: 2 Stars
I never received my order, but they did refund my money in a timely manner.DVD Review: Bond is back for the 3rd time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sean Connery stars as James Bond once again in Goldfinger (1964). Easily one of the most memorable of all the Bond films for several.
SPECTRE takes a back seat for the 3rd Bond adventure. This time, the villainous Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) who is (rather obviously) greedy for gold, has developed a plan to break into Fort Knox, but not steal anything. Goldfinger is accompanied everywhere by his mute bodyguard Oddjob (played by Hawaiian wrestler Harold Sakata) and his deadly hat. James Bond is on the case and leaves for America, meeting several Bond Girls along the way including Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton), her sister Tilly (Tania Mallet), and Goldfinger's personal pilot Pussy Galore (played by Honor Blackman) who all inevitably fall for 007's charm.
Goldfinger had many classic scenes and lines that impacted pop culture and helped inspire Mike Myers' 1997 parody Austin Powers. The most famous scenes include when Bond discovers Jill Masterson painted gold in his hotel room, and when he is almost cut in half by Goldfinger's laser beam ("Do you expect me to talk? No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"). The film was also famous for its gadgets, specifically Bond's Aston Martin DB5. His car was equipped with all sorts of cool stuff including a smoke screen, built in machine-guns, a GPS-style tracking system, and the famous ejector seat.
Goldfinger had it all. It is still regarded as one of the classic must-see James Bond movies. Highly recommended!
DVD Review: Goldfinger: Beginning of a Phenomenon
Summary: 4 Stars
I really consider From Russia With Love to be much better than Goldfinger, but this is the movie that really got the ball rolling. This movie went over so well in with the public that the studios new immediately that they would be making many more of these films.
The movie itself is above average. Oddjob is a great henchman, Goldfinger is one of the most intelligent and menacing villains ever. I guess I really like Goldfinger because he was one of the few villains who actually almost killed Bond. He may not have had that big of a part in the action, but his maniacal genius certainly makes up for that.
Pussy Galore...while she's not my favorite she's certainly right up there. I felt she was a great addition to this movie because she added a certain independence to the role of a woman.
I would have to say that this movie is definitely one of the better ones but still a bit overrated. The plot was a little bit convoluted and the cliches really started to pop up in this one. Definitely a classic Bond.
Lastly, Connery's performance is God like in this movie. I feel that he reached the pinnacle of what it meant to be Bond here.
Overall it's a great entry but a bit overtalked.
DVD Review: James Bond Goldfinger
Summary: 5 Stars
Now this is the movie I was waiting for. I was happy with the price and the delivery time on this movie. I love James Bond movies, and this is a favorite for me. Amazon is the spot to find vintage films.DVD Review: The Best of The Bonds
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not really grow up with James Bond. In 1983, a family wanted to take us to the local theatre for a Bond movie, "Octopussy." My family rarely went to movies, and we took up the offer. Unfortunately, we were living on an overseas airbase that had only one showing, and the movie sold out when the folks in front of us got the last two tickets. But one year later we moved back to America and had HBO on the satellite dish. It was there that I first saw "Octopussy" and was introduced to Bond, James Bond. A couple of years later "A View To A Kill" was on ABC, and I enjoyed that as well.
So in November 1992, WTBS did a '30 Years of James Bond' salute that showed ALL of the Bond movies in existence at that time (this was pre-Pierce Brosnan). They would show two per night. Having just bought our first VCR, we managed to tape all but the first two Bond movies (due to travel) that we then watched in order during the Christmas break. This was the first I saw of Sean Connery as Bond, and it remains the best.
James Bond movies have a certain aura and create a certain expectation. These include a memorable theme song, memorable villains and characters, at least one risque name (Ms. Galore in this one), and a decent plot. This one has it all. And each Bond gives you something memorable that you can easily recall years later. "Goldfinger" gives you several, whether its the name of the female protagonist or the method of murder of the first girl, or even the memorable line, "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
"Entertainment Weekly" recently rated the Bond movies, and this was number one. I'm inclined to agree. I've never spoken to any Bond fan who does not like this movie. Opinions vary on the movies, but this one always seemingly finds favor in the eyes of many. If you were to watch only one Bond to formulate your opinion, this is it.
Description of Goldfinger
From the opening bomb blast outside a steamy nightclub to a last-minute escape from the president's personal jet, James Bond's third screen adventure is an exhilarating, pulse-pounding thrill-ride! Sean Connery takes command as Agent 007 and faces off witDry as ice, dripping with deadpan witticisms, only Sean Connery's Bond would dare disparage the Beatles, that other 1964 phenomenon. No one but Connery can believably seduce women so effortlessly, kill with almost as much ease, and then pull another bottle of Dom Perignon '53 out of the fridge. Goldfinger contains many of the most memorable scenes in the Bond series: gorgeous Shirley Eaton (as Jill Masterson) coated in gold paint by evil Auric Goldfinger and deposited in Bond's bed; silent Oddjob, flipping a razor-sharp derby like a Frisbee to sever heads; our hero spread-eagle on a table while a laser beam moves threateningly toward his crotch. Honor Blackman's Pussy Galore is the prototype for the series' rash of man-hating supermodels. And Desmond Llewelyn reprises his role as Q, giving Bond what is still his most impressive car, a snazzy little number that fires off smoke screens, punctures the tires of vehicles on the chase, and boasts a handy ejector seat. Goldfinger's two climaxes, inside Fort Knox and aboard a private plane, have to be seen to be believed. --Raphael Shargel
