Now we have two reasons for Arnold’s Return
I really hope so.
No bond 25 is Wave Link trust me I know
Goldfingers
Wouldn't surprise me if they brought Goldfinger back to the movies at some point in my life.
If only !!
Ow....but that is funny haha !!
They did, it's called A View To A Kill.
The remake was better
AVTAK better than GF? Seriously?
I sadly agree
Gold finger was always a film with iconic moments but no thru line
Agreed.
I suppose Bond could go down the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' route and make the next one : Goldfingerer.
No through line? What does that mean? The plot is driven by a man obsessed with gold. Goldfinger is a terrific character, and the supporting characters around him are great too - very memorable. Pussy Galore is far more interesting than MayDay. OddJob is an iconic character to this day. Connery is on top form. The film oozes 60's class and style. AVTAK oozes 80's cheese. Moore is past his prime and looks and sounds tired. Walken is good as Zorin, but the writing doesn't do him justice. There is a reason why GF is always at the top of critics' and audiences' lists of the best Bond films. I don't think I have ever seen such a list with AVTAK in the top 3 or 5 films. In fact it nearly always appears near the bottom. It's a poor plot re-hash of a far, far superior film.
I used to think this was one of the few agreements in the fan community. But I guess the times are changing. Never though I'd hear someone prefer AVTAK to GF. Now, if we're talking about the books, GF is no good, no good at all. One of Fleming's weakest. That they've been able to turn that book into that film is one of nature's miracles IMO.
Agree re; Fleming's novel. Eon took the strong central premise and characters and worked them into very sharp and witty script.
Re; the argument, can anyone really claim Connery '64 is bettered by Moore '85?
AVTAK was Moore's final Bond - and, it seems, Bond 25 will be Craig's swan song, perhaps that's why it's come up?
My issues with gold finger are as follows
1. While there are iconic moment there are also boring moments like watching Goldfinger sleep while Odd job drives him around
2. Bond does next to nothing in the second half of the film
3. The cia is completely adept in the film (especially annoying since just two years previous we got one of he coolest Leiters on film)
Again I love all Bond films but sorry Goldfinger is just not one of my faves it’s not as bad as Moonraker or Diamonds are forever but it’s not the masterpiece of Casino Royale or From Russia with Love
Now, back to Bond 25, perhaps?
What do you guys think it's happening behind the curtain right now? Fukunaga's writing alongside P&W? New sets are being build? What?
