The satallite dish under a huge lake was a nice homage to Ken Adams hollowed out volcano in YOLT. Incredible super headquarters for the villain. Bruce Fierstein (who went on to scribe TND and the uncredited rewrite on TWINE) did his usual steller job, along with the other writers on GE.
I know people complain about the score, as Micheal Wilson says in the commentary for GE people either loved it or hated it - personally I loved it, it gave 007 a nice good kick in the a** and he didn't overuse the James Bond theme (unlike David Arnold who has spoiled the James Bond theme through overusage). I think I am the only fan of Joe Don Baker and i loved his role as Wade, it was a fresh approach to the treatment of 007's CIA sidekicks and the repartee between the two agents was a lot of fun. Try as they might (and they have admirably) it has yet to be matched. GE featured the best Bond-M scene since the passing of Bernard Lee. It introduced Micheal Kitchen as Tanner and Dame Judi Dench as M.
#Golden eye punch screenwatcher in the face movie
It had been the first Bond movie in SIX years, the sense of anticipation was palpable in the theater, there were people in the theater screaming "We want James Bond!!!" as the trailers for the other movies were shown. In contrast he seemed utterly bored with the character by the time DAD rolled into production. Brosnan is better as Bond, fresh and determined with something to prove. In 1995 it seemed kinda cool to get back to that high tech weaponry, by 2002 it had become old. Of the four Brosnan movies three have had space as a major factor - GE - EMP weapon, TND - CMG satallites and DAD - Icarus. At the time of GE's release it had been 16 years since we had dealt with a weapon from space (Moonrakers orchid globes). Sean Bean played a nice villain, no gene therapy here just a half scarred face and 00 instincts, the fight between the two agents was a good throwback to the earlier great fights of the series. GE has the best Femme Fatale (in Xenia) since Barbara Carrera danced her wild, wicked way through NSNA as Fatima Blush. Is there any comparison - Goldeneye is such a superior movie in almost every respect.
