After 6 ½ years removed from theaters around the globe,
James Bond reloaded and returned in a big way for GoldenEye. GoldenEye was a major cinematic event
for 1995. The Berlin wall had fallen and
many felt Bond’s legacy should go with it.
It was questioned as to whether the character could remain relevant with
no cold war. Also, debuting in the role
of James Bond was Pierce Brosnan, an actor who many had been clamoring to see
play this part (and as we all know my mother was one of those people). Would he be able to live up to expectation? Could Bond manage to win back audiences and
pick back up where he had left off?
