GoldenEye (1995) - 8/10
So glad that Netflix just added this to their roster of Bond flicks, I freaking love this movie! Sure it drags in spots, Sean Bean's death is comically over the top and the miniatures used for the MiG crashing into the radar dish were straight out of a Toho Godzilla flick but otherwise this movie absolutely rocks from beginning to end!
Brosnan is a straight up badass and it just might have the two sexiest Bond chicks out of the entire series (for me.) This movie has kind of a shockingly high body count and the tank chase is just as superb as it was 24 years ago. Too bad I really didn't enjoy any of Brosnan's other flicks but at last he'll always have this one.
I didn't even realize until now that the director Martin Campbell also helmed Jackie Chan's "The Foreigner" a couple years back. No surprise because I thoroughly enjoyed that one too.
The crazy bad chick was so hawt. A better villain than the main villain in that film, imo.
Yeah those were fun too.
"Crazy bad chick?" Yeah I wonder what her name was and if she ever did any movies after that...
Widows 2.5/10
Such a waste, it was a decent enough start and I liked the blond but it lost it's way, it could have done with another 10/15 minutes at the end, from the robbery onward was just to rushed, the original was way ahead of this 30 years ago.

Goldeneye is about as perfect as a Bond film there is. I love Bond and I love the Daniel Craig films but Goldeneye has it all. Some of the best action in the series, great villain and villainess, good "take over the world" plot, M was fantastic, great locals, and Pierce was perfect and such a bad ass. Really in that one film he is the 2nd best Bond after Sean Connery.
Captain Marvel - 5 out of 10. I actually liked Brie and thought Sam Jackson was great. The plot, direction, and cinematography was the issue with this film I think.
I'd love to watch Goldeneye again...yet another film I used to have that has mysteriously vanished from my archives, wtf.

Had no idea it would be this good!

It was very good.

It really is. Probably my favorite of the entire series.
For me I thought that Casino Royale and Skyfall were really well done but they have next to no rewatch value for me. I just don't find Craig to be that likable in the role which I consider an important aspect of the character. In Casino Royale he's a smug friendless ***hole and in Skyfall and Spectre he's borderline sexual predator. Awesome cinematography and action in the Craig flicks though.

He lacks the charm, but I do find him believable in the action scenes. Who do you think should play Bond next? I think Cavill should get a shot.
Yeah I get why they cast him in the post-Bourne/Mission:Impossible era of spy movies but he just never really felt like Bond to me. He was almost more of an "evil Bond" like Sean Bean in GoldenEye that the real Bond would end up fighting. IMO of course. Obviously Craig has been really popular so I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one. At least they did a good job of putting Craig through hell in his films so that at least you end up rooting for him on that alone.
After 26 movies over half a century I kind of think they could just retire the character but of those in the running yeah I'd lean toward Cavill as well. He's likable to both guys and gals and The Man from UNCLE showed that he can be classy and sauve as well. He'd be the first actor who might actually have to bulk down to play the role though, lol.

This is why I've always liked Craig as Bond -- he was believable.
As for him being a borderline sexual predator, I'd have to go back and watch again but *cough* Connery *cough* -- I know -- different time and different mores.
