Goldeneye


I think it's fair to say that, at the time, it really did seem like the Timothy Dalton flavoured 007 movies had done a great deal of damage to the future prospects of any further installments actually getting made.

Despite taking a gritty & more realistic approach (yet another example of why there's nothing new or original about the direction taken by 'Casino Royale') both flicks were completely out of touch with what movie goers expected from their action flavoured thrillers.

So although by no means a perfect flick, this movie did at least manage to do a really good job of updating & quite possibly saving the franchise (whilst still remaining true to what had gone before) which consequently allowed it to compete with, but maybe not surpass, the majority of flicks being released in it's particular genre.

Razorback Rating = Decent

The why...

This blog represents an ongoing list of flicks watched by my good self. Every movie viewed will be awarded one of seven ratings ('Unmissable', 'Superb', 'Very Decent', 'Decent', 'Decent Enough', 'Watchable' & finally 'Worthless') and any flick that falls under one of the first three ratings categories will also be awarded 'Razorsharp' status (which means it's pretty much a 'must see' movie in my not so humble opinion).
