Critics Consensus

Goldfinger is where James Bond as we know him comes into focus - it features one of 007's most famous lines ("A martini. Shaken, not stirred.") and a wide range of gadgets that would become the series' trademark.

Goldfinger allows nothing to impede its sense of humour: it converts Bond into a human equivalent of the cat in the Tom and Jerry cartoons, with the same ghastly resilience and the same capacity for absorbing punishment.

Ours not to reason why with "Goldfinger"; ours but to gape and admire; which is very easy and enjoyable until the story's iceberg of extravagance finally appears in its true proportions.

This is the template borrowed and measured against for the entire franchise for a reason several decades and incarnations later.

Bond is grittier in this action role while still holding on to his sleek and handsome charm. But more importantly, the Bond girls change, definitely for the better.

Wildly popular movie though not without it's faults. A couple of them are a ludicrous plot and goofy action scenes. A lot of things are staged to fit in perfectly with some later action (such as an ejector seat. Watch any other spy thriller and try to imagine when that would come in handy). James doesn't have to use his smarts as the writers wriggle him out of every dilemma. So okay entertainment and amusing in its silliness, but ultimately a bit shallow.

I can see why this was the first true blockbuster Bond film. Goldfinger is THE classic villain and Oddjob is a classic henchman. Memorable backdrops of Miami, London, Geneva and Kentucky, this film drops you right into the 60s and doesn’t let go.

I didn't like this one as much as the first two films. The action scenes are good.

Goldfinger still remains the quintessial Bond film, even Casino Royale or Skyfall can't compare to the sheer enjoyement this film can transmit. Started many of the tropes of Bond and spy movies in general we all know and love. Features a much better pacing than it's predecessors, and it generally manages to make it the most out of it's runtime than probably every other Bond movie, as they all typically start to run off steam through the final act. Featuring great gadgets; humor; one of the best Bond girls to grace the silver screen, alongside pretty much every single other major character here, all being extremely memorable and full of charisma. Definite must watch.
