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.

Sight & Sound

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.

This is the true start of the bond franchise where all the tropes are laid out and it is an absolute blast of an spy caper but it is definitely dated in a few moments

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The Bond film to which all others must be compared. The girls, the guns, the gadgets, the locations, the villains, the evil master plan... it may not have been the first Bond film, but it is, and likely always will be, the standard-barer.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Start of the Bond tropes properly in this film. Amazing car, fun gadgets and some properly iconic quotes, not to mention the theme song. Just possibly one too many random women for him, could have kept at least one for more than two minutes.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Esta tercera aventura del célebre agente secreto británico destaca por su audacia visual y el carisma innegable de su protagonista. La historia combina acción trepidante, un antagonista bien definido y momentos de ingenio que se sienten casi caricaturescos, aportando una frescura que sigue siendo atractiva con el paso de las décadas. Además, la banda sonora y el diseño de producción hacen que cada escena luzca con elegancia y cierta pomposidad, sin perder la ligereza propia del género. De esta forma, logra combinar humor, tensión y espectáculo, convirtiéndose en una referencia inevitable dentro del universo del espía más famoso del cine.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
