The story in general isn't great and Sean Bean's acting is so bad infact usually he's a great actor but he's horrible in this and laughable and rotten to the core. The main problems with GoldenEye is pretty much everything starting with the soundtrack because Tina Turner's GoldenEye song is horrible and bad and also James Bond played by Pierce Brosnan has not got any cars with gadgets unlike most of the Bond films. Actor Pierce Brosnan plays James Bond in GoldenEye and he's joined by Sean Bean as the villain and some lady villain who's actually quite sexy and so is Izabella Scorupco. The main problems with GoldenEye is GoldenEye is a action and adventure film from 1995 and directed by Martin Campbell. GoldenEye is a action and adventure film from 1995 and directed by Martin Campbell. Although the video game admittedly had a WAY better soundtrack than the one provided by Eric Serra (The Fifth Element, Leon: The Professional) for the film. This particular entry also has arguably the best group of villains out of all the Bond films that includes the S&M-obssessed Xenia Onatopp (greatest…name….ever), the hilariously over-confident computer hacker Boris Grishenko and the always awesome “dies in almost every movie” Sean Bean as the treacherous 006. Bond bungie-jumping off a dam, the tank chase) more than make up for it. While the script is far from the greatest, the tight glossy direction provided by Martin Campell (Casino Royale, The Mask of Zorro) and abundance of great action sequences (Ex.

If anything this film feels fantastically tense with the finale being especially good thanks to some skillful direction by Martin Campbell and a ball point pen. However despite this Goldeneye has some entertaining characters such as Alec 'Janus' Travelyan (Sean Bean) and Boris Grishenko (Alan Cummings) who are not only fun but well acted. The main flaw with Goldeneye is that it shoehorns the characters of Jack Wade and Valentin Zukovsky in for some light comic relief that really does fall flat which is a shame as Robbie Coltrane is a great actor. Goldeneye while reverting Bond back to his fun loving self also allows Brosnan room to breath with him showing a vulnerable if not scarred character that was conveyed in the books despite the fact Goldeneye is the first film not adapted from a Ian Fleming story although the title does allude to Fleming. If anything the main draw of Goldeneye is that following a rather dull revenge story (License to Kill) it manages to bring the fun back to the series with a new Bond (Pierce Brosnan) who clearly understands the character more than Moore, Lazenby and Dalton ever did. The film chooses to introduce Bond to the modern world complete with post Cold War ideals and some great action sequences.
