Goldfinger is a crucial work in the development of the Bond legend. Full Review |

4/5 |
It has Shirley Bassey's operatic theme, the Aston Martin and Shirley Eaton, killed with that magnificently macabre gold paint. Full Review |

Presented here in a newly restored digital print, it should look especially swish on the big screen. Full Review |

Mixed in with some tough action and the introduction of such memorable gadgets as Bond's Aston Martin car, there's never a dull moment and the film flies by. Full Review |

...remains a cut above its Bond brethren... Full Review |

In scene after scene Director Guy Hamilton has contrived some hilariously horrible sight gags. Full Review |

There's not the least sign of staleness in this third sample of the Bond 007 formula. Full Review |

|
This 1964 entry is the most enjoyable of the James Bond thrillers starring Sean Connery -- perhaps because it's the most comic and cartoony in look as well as conception. Full Review |

One of the best, if not the best Bond movie Full Review |

A- |
Goldfinger, the third James Bond film, was the most successful in the series to date, due to its ingredients (hero, villains, women, locations, music, effects), which later served as blueprint for future Bond sagas. Full Review |

One of the more amusing Bond films. Full Review |

|
8/10 |
Sean Connery excelle une fois de plus dans la peau d'un personnage aussi froid que charismatique qui continue de foncer tête première avec un détachement souvent irrationnel Full Review |

|
5/5 |
The iconic James Bond movie, this third entry into the franchise is rightly heralded for offering the perfect blend of action, adventure, gunplay, fisticuffs, gadgetry (that Aston Martin!), romance, derring-do, and just about everything else. Full Review |

The one that all other Bond films must live up to, and the only one of the films that surpasses the book upon which it is based. Full Review |
