GoldenEye ****

Only the 2nd Bond I'm willing to give 4 stars, the first of which was 31 years earlier with Goldfinger. I forgot this was Joe Don Baker's 2nd James Bond film, his first being The Living Daylights (1987). This was also the movie that introduced Famke Janssen to the world (and I'm not alone in saying thank you for that). Finally, is there a better villian around than Sean Bean? One of my personal favorites, if not THE best Bond villian, but that's up for debate. What a great way to give the series the proverbial "kick in the a$$" that it needed!
