Finally found Barry Norman's review in 1995 @bondsum. Remember asking you about that sometime back.
Will look to watch this a little later!
A "spectacular stunt"? Really?? And to hear that from a "movie critic" with supposed knowledge of cinema?
And they actually praise Pierce for being fit? You could hail the man for a lot of things (although I think he has done far better work outside Bond...), but that's just weird. It is like praising Connery for his English accent.

Anyway, to me it's my favourite film of all time. I just love it, it has an unique brilliance and heaviness, as Goldfinger would say. Even on a small TV during a cable broadcast (I missed it on theatres, wasn't a Bond fan in 1995), the impact was mind blowing enough to hook me into Bondmania forever.
With your dedication and passion you got yourself another customer @NS_writings :)
I don't really have a favorite movie of all time but GE would definitly be in serious consideration.
It's my favorite film from my favorite movie franchise. I suppose that's something.
Thank you so very much! Hope you'll enjoy it :)
And I'll be working on a book on Pierce's era soon.
That would be awesome! I would also be very interested in the games, and his involvement with them.
They will be mentioned and analyzed story-wise, of course.
HE IS INVINCIBLE!!!!!!!!11
Yes, I enjoyed listening to that too. Very interesting!

GE remains my favourite Bond film, despite some claiming it's vastly overrated. It was my Bond film, the first new release I was consciously aware of, the dawning of a new era, and no-one is going to take away my wonderful memories of 1995.
Was that Idris at 0:42 praising Brosnan?
Great review. Really kind of miss that era now. Wish we'd get a new film that brings back classic cinematic Bond with a bang.
Yeah I think that's him. The voice matches too. Crazy coincidence.
Yes, it does look and sound like Idris Elba. Well spotted! Quite a coincidence! :)
She's stunning in the film. Probably more the thinking man's crumpet, but there it was certainly an interesting choice to put her in dowdy cardigans. I suppose they wanted to move away from 'Bond girls' being overly glamorous and unnecessary.
If anything more power to the director and costume designer for not over-dressing Natalia. After all, she's either work for most of the film and hiding out from the Russians. She's a very "real" character.
Natalia is supposed to be a little more unaware of her beauty.
Can't really remember her performance, I'll need to watch GE again.
I think one of GE's strongest suits is the ensemble. It's filled with memorable characters. The introduction of Dench's M. Samantha's Moneypenny. Natalya. Xenia. Ourumov. Trevelyan. Boris. Wade. Zukovsky. Damn!
The film took a big big risk with those factors but banked on Brosnans bank ability and Campbell’s direction and it worked thank God !!
Don't forget Michael Kitchen as Bill Tanner!
The best Tanner and totally wasted,but not too late EON !!!!!! MICHAEL KITCHEN AS BILL TANNER !!
Yes, and he's by far the best Bill Tanner too. He's the most recognisable as the character from the Fleming books. None of the rest of the Tanners have come anywhere close but of course a lot of that is down to how the character is written. It's a pity that Michael Kitchen only ever got to play Tanner twice. He's definitely one of the good things about the Brosnan Bond era!
