The era of Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond began here. 007 faces off a rogue agent (Sean Bean) believed to have been dead, but is now attempting to hijack a nuclear space weapon. Co-stars Judi Dench as M, the first of seven times the Oscar-winning actress plays the role.
The deadly weapon, codename ‘GoldenEye’, is an armed satellite capable of mass destruction – and now it’s dangerously close to being controlled by a man intent on causing a global catastrophe. To prevent the GoldenEye from falling into the wrong hands, Bond races to Russia to confront the mastermind, aided by the sole survivor of a destroyed research centre.
Director Martin Campbell would return to help reboot the series a decade later with 2006's Casino Royale, which was very good. He would also go on to direct 2011's Green Lantern, which wasn't very good.

Variety
Variety"This is the first Bond film that is self-aware, that has lost its innocence and the simplicity of its world view, and has some understanding of the absurdity and sadness of its hero."
