SEAN BEAN‘s
(Alex Trevelyan (Formerly 006)
…Is One Of The Very Best BOND Villains Ever Spawned From The “JAMES BOND” Flicks.
Period.
The Pre-Title Sequence…
…OR The Pre-Credit Sequence…
…Is One Of The Very Best Ever To Come From The BOND Universe, Of Which There’s Been A Boat-Full.
It Made A Lasting Impression, That’s A Big FO SHO.
The 1ST Time I Watched It…
…I Was BLOWN AWAY.
Now…
…The 547TH’ish Time I’ve Plopped Down And Watched It…
…Hmm…
…Nope…
…Still BLOWN AWAY!!!
It DOES Rank In My TOP 5 Opening Sequences In BOND-Franchise HISTORY.
#1 = “THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN” (1974)
*2 = “GOLDFINGER” (1962)
#3 = “CASINO ROYALE” (2006)
#4 = “GOLDENEYE” (1995)
#5 = “THE SPY WHO LOVED ME” (1977)
…Is How I Would Rank The PRE-CREDIT/TITLE Portion Of The Flicks.
—HOW ABOUT YOU?!
ANY IDEAS Or OPINIONS?!??—
“GOLDENEYE“
…Is The Best Possible Debut PIERCE Could Have Expected.
The Action Is Crazy Intense…
…And it’s Got All The Action/Adventure Elements A Bond Flick Could Hope For.
It’s Totally What The Audience Was Hoping For From BOND In 1995, That’s A Big BIG FO SHO!
It’s Brilliant.
Everything From The Opening “BUNGEE-JUMP SEQUENCE”…
…To The “AIRPLANE ESCAPE”…
…Through A “TANK CHASE”…
…All The Way To The Final Battle At The End…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Delivers The Goods!!!
“GOLDENEYE“
…Is The Best Possible Debut Of A New BOND That The BOND Fans Could Have Hoped For.
Pure ACTION And ADVENTURE, Kiddies.
Granted…
…Each Flick PEIRCE Released Was A Little Worse Than That Which Preceded It…
…But Hey…
…Can’t Win ‘Em All.
BUT…
“GOLDENEYE“
…Does Rank Among The Hierarchy Of BOND Adventures.
.Period Period.
Love It, LOVE IT!!!
And This BLU-RAY Edition Is Fantastic.
You Try Watching…
“GOLDENEYE“
…On A 55Inch TV…
…In Surround Sound, No Less.
😉
Yeah.
The Film Is Breathtaking.
.Period.
The ONLY BOND’ian Debut That MIGHT Beat This One In A Stick-Poking Contest At K-Mart Is…
“CASINO ROYALE“
(2006)
…But That’s It!!!
Otherwise…
…It’s ALL About The…
“GOLDENEYE“
.PERIOD.
😀
Please Check This One Out, Kiddies.
It’s A Damn Fine Film…
…Damn Fine, Indeed.
If You Love ACTION And ADVENTURE…

“GOLDENEYE“
…Is Totally Worth Checking-Out!
