I love it, but you can see how Campbell improved in the decade. That iconic hollow bell sound is great too that runs rampant in GoldenEye.Ĭampbell improved as a filmmaker between movies too and that's evidence in how the filming was done, how scenes flow. The soundtrack is more in line with classic Bond, although I do find GoldenEye's with some of it's late 80s early 90s synth cheese good. In Casino, everything has a crisp polish to it, the crane sequence feels visceral and real.

GoldenEye has a really dated CGI satelite sequence and some wonky green-screen work when Trevelyan and Bond are fighting at the end on the Cradle. The effects work was better too in the 11 years. The villian was really one-note and boring and the. The action is good in spots but also kind of repetitive and the tension seems to decrease with every encounter. It's great observe the difference between it and GoldenEye, Campbell's other Bond film.Īlso Campbell took more artistic liberties with this, the black and white sequences in the film, the gun barrel intro. Craig's acting isn't bad but he's trying to be 3 different bonds at once: The original CR bond, Campy Psuedo-Moore Bond, and some sort of melodramatic romance husband character.
