Our suggestions
Years after a friend and fellow 00 agent is killed on a t mission, a secret space based weapons program known as "GoldenEye" is stolen. James Bond sets out to stop a Russian crime syndicate from using the weapon.
""GoldenEye" represents a major shift for the James Bond franchise. With age advancing, the producer of all films up until then, Albert R. Broccoli, stepped away from the movie - leaving his children, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, to take care of the family business. Both cast a new actor for the lead role, Pierce Brosnan, and updated the tone of the series to the 1990s style. That is, with even more technological gadgets and a script based on the changes of the world, with a satellite that can destroy London to cause a global financial crisis. All to keep alive a Cold War spy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The result is an action-packed movie that delivers an almost invincible Bond. Also noteworthy is the introduction of Judi Dench as the new M, in an incarnation of the MI6 leader character as iconic as the original, by Bernard Lee."
