No, not by a long shot! I'd say it's still one of the worst Bond movies to date!
It was important for the Bond series, but IMO there are many movies with similar style that are superior.
Still a classic. Top five after nearly fifty years I would say.
Indeed, if the Asston Martin DB5 and Oddjob weren't in Goldfinger, a lot of the movie's classic qualities and watch-ability would be severely affected.
:-O =))
That's the funniest thing I've ever read.
Sorry, I don't get the joke.
It was technically my first two, discounting some Brosnan I saw when I was too little to comprehend any of it. It still doesn't have that high of a spot, but like most here I respect what it did for the franchise.
It's not the best bond film but it's pretty close.
People can say they think it's best, that's all very well and good, no problem etc, but for this viewer I've always found it somewhat lifeless and banal, there's no sense in lying
From the moment Connery emerges from the water with a plastic duck on his head to the confusing ending on the airplane, nothing much goes on, I'm being serious
Blackman is not a memorable Bond girl for me, I just found her always plain and uninteresting and she was too old at the time maybe, older than Connery by all accounts
Frobe is actually quite good, Ok voiced dubbed over, but as with Honey, you never really notice it. I had some fun with him on occasion even
Harold Sekata as the mute assistant, does really well, the end fight at the Fort Knox depository is probably the highlight of the film for me, very well done
But all said, not much else happens, said it so many times before that Connery spends half the film sitting down. The Golf match early on is quite fun actually, but scenes like this were few and far between. I don't really like the Bassey song either. Pity really as Connery was perhaps just past his supreme best by this time and the end product was an all round disappointment, there's just simply not enough action here to keep the viewer interested
If people think this is the best Bond release to date, then by god I'd hate to see the ones you think deserve to be thrown in the trash..
similar discussion going on already!
