Goldeneye Overrated????

Despite all nitpicking of characters and individualistic scenes, and even I can agree, in my demand of great musical soundtrack, that GE´s soundtrack is lowstandard. Still, what elevates GE is the production and the style in which it is packaged. It has an exciting PTS, a "classic Bond eerie" Main Title powersong, a fantastic (albeit CGI)Main Title Sequence, the film has a fine pace and some stunning action. Also, it gives me a really rewarding finale, in which I feel that I am truly, although it is 30 years after the true classic era, watching a Bond film for the older fans that really has a love for this whole stuff. I cant explain it more right now, but the typical criticism here for individual scenes, whether it is comical scenes or dramatic dialogues to put down a Bondfilm, is ignoring the wholeness of the film and its character.

It's a good Bond film, but I'm more likely to watch one of Brosnan's other three.
Just watched it last night, the score is part of what dulls itexcept for the St. Petersburg tank chase, for which the producers solicited another composer for an actual Bond-style theme. With good reason.
Eric Serra track (unused):
John Altman track used:
I like it but it's not one of my top favorites, and I don't consider it one of the very best Bond films. Saw it on its original release in theaters, but never played the game(s).
Something I noticed on the latest viewing: if released today I don't expect the hyper-sensitive section of the audience viewing the latest films (though they normally defend GOLDENEYE) would be so easy on this one.
In just the first few minutes the Bond theme for the gunbarrel is mangled and unrecognizable. OO7 offers to buy OO6 a pint (what the ?!?). And Bond and Trevelyan not only openly call themselves by name on a mission, they're literally yelling their given names in front of Colonel Ourumov and his soldiers.- Shut the door, Alec. There's a draught. Alec?
- Move out. Throw down your weapon and walk towards me, slowly.
- Finish the job, James. Blow them to hell.
- You have ten seconds. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two
- For England, James.
But the catching-a-plane pre-title action works for me, the titles and title song are top notch, and we're off.
I'm motivated by my

Goldeneye makes all Connery films not called YOLT feel slow and dated, it improves on all Dalton films, and has a better balance than any Moore film. Yeah, not overrated. If you look up overrated the picture is Mendes's smiling face.
