However, Bond is up against an enemy who anticipates his every move: Alec Trevelyan, a.k.a. Agent 006, a mastermind motivated by years of simmering hatred. As Bond squares off against his former compatriot, he also battles Trevelyan's stunning ally, Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon. When the horrifying extent of Trevelyan's plans is revealed, Bond must call upon his sharp wits and killer instincts in a deadly confrontation. From a destructive tank chase through the streets of St. Petersburg to the treacherous Cuban jungle, Bond finds himself playing a cat-and-mouse game to the finish.

Pierce Brosnan is the ONLY good James Bond. That is if you are into slutty spies.
I think Alec Trevelyan needs to make an appearance in the new Bond films y/y?
If you look at his entire run as 007, by process of elimination, you would have to say that 'GoldenEye' was Pierce Brosnan's best Bond movie. It's definitely got a little bit of style to it, with some memorable action sequences and classic one-liners...

It's definitely got a little bit of style to it, with some memorable action sequences and classic one-liners. Yet there is some substance to be had here with a solid story and performances from Brosnan, Sean Bean, Judi Dench, and of course Famke Jansen, who plays one of the best Bond Girls ever.
Very good Bond movie is surprisingly restrained compared to the later Brosnan films.
For the same reasons as The spy who loved me, this film has everything that makes Bond movies the best spy movies. Good locations, involving a monte carlo casino, and St. Petersberg winter.

Good locations, involving a monte carlo casino, and St. Petersberg winter. A good James Bond who can be suave, smooth and cold. A good bond girl who is also clever and contributes to mission. Good villain with a tough henchmen. Xenia is a unique villain who still loves to use brute force to kill enemies, but only in a sexier way than ever before. The boss villain is a secret until later in the film and is a perfect villain for Bond to overcome. And the boss's headquarters, which in this case is a giant subterranean satellite dish.

Watching the film, I got caught up in the special effects and the neat stunts, and I observed with a certain satisfaction Bond's belated entry into a more modern world.full review
