A bold attempt to reinvent the character itself, one that tied in with the post-cold war era.

It's only slightly better than the movies of the last fifteen years or so, but that alone makes it worth seeing. License to Kill was so absolutely horrid, that I'm relieved to see an upswing.

If we apply high standards we expect from classic Bond films, Goldeneye is a failure.
