Although GoldenEye is a decent movie, it deserves no special Bond recognition. It becomes easy to forget that Bond is Licensed to Kill, and although there is some thigh combat (a la Diamonds Are Forever) many Bondesque moments are simply missing. It may be important to note, however, that after the death of 006, Bond and 008 would be the only surviving agents. It still amazes me, however, that the writers assigned an active number to the traitor agent, indicating that they may have done a bit of research into the other Bond films. (002, for example, has been killed twice.) The film does serve as a fair example of the Bond series converting the formerly 80s agent into a 90s kind of guy. But only one question: The plot of the movie revolved around silicon chips' vulnerability to electromagnetic pulse; in A View to a Kill, an invulnerable chip was invented. Why not use those?
