Goldeneye: 7.5/10
Watched it again last night. I feel it's the best Bond, but after seeing it again after a few years I see that it's starting to show its age. I can't believe it's nearly 20 years old! There are strange things like the filmmakers leaving an obvious pause after a joke to let the audience laugh, and more subtle pacing issues. Anyway, I like how Brosnan portrayed Bond, especially in this one. He was a top soldier first and foremost, and had a penchant for fast living and women. You can see that the director, Martin Campbell, was trying to do what he eventually did with Craig in Casino Royale. He made a tougher, colder, more believable Bond. I liked how no one could sneak up on him, and I LOVE the fight with Bond and Trevelyan in the radar dish. I think it's the most brutal fist fight in all the Bond movies. And I admit the movie is not without its problems either. Some of the jokes fall flat, and the music varies from excellent to terrible.

I like this one better than the Craig Bonds because it still keeps some of the hallmarks of the classic Bond movies intact, like his suits, his charm, the opening sequence, some gadgets, etc. The new ones are good, no doubt, but I just wish they would let a few more characteristics of classic Bond creep in. I think Quantum does the better job in doing that, while Royale takes away the most.

Skyfall: 7.5/10
Gave this one another view as well. I guess I enjoyed it a tiny bit better than I did the first time. But I still have some problems with it. Overall I like the tone of the movie. The song and the soundtrack are great. I liked it from when Bond first meets Silva on the island to when he leaves with M to Skyfall. The attack on Skyfall was ok. I really liked how it set up Moneypenny and the new M--getting it back on track to a more classic Bond. But I feel the story felt a little derivative of other recent Bonds, including Goldeneye (Bond being obsolete, a previous agent being the enemy) and maybe World Is Not Enough (attack on MI6, M targeted and Bond's devotion to her).



I'll try and watch Quantum (my favorite Craig Bond) again and see how that one holds up.

T2: Judgement Day 10/10, god I love this movie, I watched it a week ago and just watched it again, I do it regularly every couple of months since I was a kid and it never gets old, it only gets better every time, it's just perfect in every way, the visuals, the score, the dialogue, the performances, all the little details that serve as commentary on human nature, how it feels like a post-apocalyptic movie despite not taking place in the future, yet taking place in the future and the past at the same time, mind bending ****... "Skynet becomes self aware" that line always freaks me out.

Watching John with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. The Terminator would never stop. It would never leave him. It would never hurt him. It would never shout at him or get drunk and hit him. Or say it was too busy to spend time with him. And it would die to protect him. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.

After the GOD AWFUL trailer they used to promote this movie I still have no interest in seeing it. Numerous people have told me it's the best thing they have ever seen, but my best friend, who has the exact taste in the movies as me said it was very beautifully shot, but extremely boring, like he'd rather get hit by a train than watch it again, boring. So I have a fantastic 3D tv, but this will never play on it. :)

I enjoyed this movie as well (the climatic score at the end was also awesome) and need to watch it in 3D some day.
I'm going to wait, however, until it hits the bargain bin.
