Goldfinger (1964)
9/10
An Improvment In Some Ways, But A Downgrade In Other Ways
24 February 2019
Goldfinger is an improvement on "From Russia With Love" in some ways, but a downgrade in others. There are some basic things that I judge Bond movies on. Bond actor, Bond girl, action, villains, and overall plot. Sean Connery is still great as usual. I didn't care for the Bond girls in this movie if you can really say there was one. Goldfinger is a fine villain, but he's nowhere near as good as Grant from "From Russia With Love". The action in this movie is better than the first two Bond movies. As for the plot, I find it less interesting than the previous film. While the music is good in this movie, I also feel like it was a downgrade. I'm not sure if I like this movie more than FRWL or not. That film did a fair amount of things better, but this movie has less filler it feels like.
