Goldfinger allows nothing to impede its sense of humour: it converts Bond into a human equivalent of the cat in the Tom and Jerry cartoons, with the same ghastly resilience and the same capacity for absorbing punishment.

It's phenomenal!

| Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 21, 2015

Ours not to reason why with "Goldfinger"; ours but to gape and admire; which is very easy and enjoyable until the story's iceberg of extravagance finally appears in its true proportions.

A bit much? Yes, but it's meant to be. Like Doctor No and From Russia with Love, the two previous Bond bombshells, this picture is a thriller exuberantly travestied.

Perfection.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 6, 2008

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

| May 6, 2008

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.

| May 6, 2008

It has Shirley Bassey's operatic theme, the Aston Martin and Shirley Eaton, killed with that magnificently macabre gold paint.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2007

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2006

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2004

Q brings out the Aston Martin for the first time, and Shirley Bassey shatters the speakers with the consummate Bond song.

| Jun 15, 2003

... what they give us in Goldfinger is an excess of-science-fiction fun, a mess of mechanical melodrama and a minimum of bedroom farce.

| May 20, 2003

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 27, 2001

If it is not a great film, it is a great entertainment, and contains all the elements of the Bond formula that would work again and again.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000
