Goldfinger1964

Goldfinger is the highest-rated and most popular of the Connery Bond films, and so I’m surprised it’s been my least favorite so far. It just all feels a little sloppier and a little cornier. There was a slickness and, in some ways, a timelessness to the first two that this just doesn’t have.  Some moments seem needlessly drawn out and wreck the pacing. James Bond, though, is as charming as ever. I think all these movies have worked as well on their own as they do as a series, but this feels more like an aside than anything else. Maybe that’s the reason it’s so popular.  Plus, the Aston Martin, of course. James Bond Ranked
