The great James in his best, Jun 5 2004
In the the third film of this Bond series this may well be his favorite : (for me it's the best) there are enough reasons to hold this statement. Harold Sakata is the most hated villain in any Bond picture, the maquiavelian mind and overwhelming presence of Auric Goldfinger , the unforgettable swiss landscapes , the girls Honor Blackman who is two steps behind of Daniela Bianchi (From Russia with love) and Claudine Auger (Thunderball) in what beauty concerns , the laser sequence , the poker game , the fine and suggestive dialogues , the ambush in the hall , the battle in Fort Knox and that hair raising final combat in the airplane, the dazzling direction of Guy Hamilton and the spectacular Aston Martin. What else do you need for watching by the first time this one or remind it in case you saw before as a timeless cult movie ? And please beware of any other hat in the head of someone like Odd Job.

The best achievement of the Bond series, Jun 4 2004
This film is a winner in all the sense of the word. May be you won't find the advanced special effects of this age. But who really cares? Watch for the admirable lot of golden situations; the suggestive sequence in which we laugh when James compare the champaign with the Beatles, for instance in a double sense joke, the unforgettable swiss landscapes, the eternally beauty of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore, the presence of Harold Sakata the most hated villain in any Bond film, the powerful balance given by Grett Frobe as Auric Goldfinger the maquiavelian and perverse mind of Spectre, the notorius ambush in the hall , the final battle in Fort Knox and that unforgettable in the airplane make from this film, at least for me, the most complete film of any other Bond series. Dazzling direction and the bitterness of Bond,James Bond. After you watch,please beware on the next hat you see. A cult movie.

My favorite movie from Bond series, Jun 4 2004
I still can remember the first time I watched this film. I was in a old hall cinema and I watched three times that day . I just was eight years old but what histamine. Harold Sakata as Odd Jobb has been the most hated villain in any Bond series and Grett Frobe as Goldfinger is one of the coldest and smart Spectre agents. Honor Blackman with her incandescent beauty as Pussy Galore is a perfect balance. The film has a lot of smart and suggestive situations. Do you remember the sequence of the champaign bottle? The ambush in the hall made by Goldfinger is a first rate, so the girl painted with gold, the chases and the unforgettable swiss landscapes, and the hair raising end in Fort Knox and in the airplane made of this one my eternal favorite among others. Dazzling direction by Guy Hamilton and delightful action sequences. Watch it and please, be careful with the next hat you see.
