Probably the best one from the Pierce era but I also like World is not Enough 1999, Die Another Day is kinda cheesy but it was my first bond movie I ever saw as a kiddo. The first parts are really great but the ice castle stuff is the cheesy part. Then there was the most forgettable one with the submarine and media mogul, forgot the name of it but that was probably the worst of the era
shareIt's amazing. I don't even have any nostalgia for GoldenEye, like you Die Another Day was my first James Bond movie. I think I also saw parts of another Brosnan one when I was younger. I only watched GoldenEye for the first time as an adult. Glorious stuff.
The best Bond movie in my opinion, though Casino Royale was great too and is a close runner up. Both GoldenEye and Casino Royale were directed by Martin Campbell of course!
Yeah Casino Royale was a classic, the best of the Daniel Craig era for sure
shareBoth GoldenEye and Casino Royale were directed by Martin Campbell of course!
He directed The Mask of Zorro (1998) and The Legend of Zorro (2005), which you may have already seen.
One movie he made which I really liked and is underrated/underseen is Cast a Deadly Spell (1991). A made for tv horror-fantasy-detective-comedy movie. Well worth checking out for fans of fun horror at least. It's a real genre blender, fairly unique.
Those three and the Bond movies are the only five I've seen of his. I know he also directed Edge of Darkness (2010) which starred Mel Gibson and also the much maligned Green Lantern (2011).
Sadly it seems like he's something of a three or four hit wonder I guess (at least it seems that way going by the IMDb ratings of his filmography), but fair play to the guy he made the two best Bond movies of all time in my opinion.
Yeah, I did watch the Zorro movies.
Green Lantern as well, yeah, that one was less impressive.
The other 2 I haven't watched as yet.
It's mediocre just like all the Brosnan era. Even the opening sequence is overrated. He bungee jumps down into a dam, instead of knocking out the russian on the toilet from above he comes down like Spiderman for a pathetic quip, somehow when he comes out of the headquarters he's now on a mountain top, and then he does a Superman and manages to catch up to a plunging plane. All in the space of ten minutes in his debut.
And this is regarded as Brosnan's serious one😂
I agree it’s overrated.
Some good bits and Brosnan is decent, but the music is either terrible (like a dustbin thrown into an elevator) or sleep-inducing (the casino sequence).
Also, the film’s pacing seriously dips about half way through and becomes BOOOORRRIIIINNNG. The dull grey cinematography doesn’t help.
Picks up towards the end, but it’s a middling Bond film for me.
Director a Martin Campbell did a much better job when he returned for the phenomenal Casino Royale.
Yeah when you put it that way it is a bit goofy, I guess it is the nostalgia that does it for me on this one, I watched it when I was a child
