Rights issues foiled a third Dalton outing and Bond went on hiatus until 1995, when it became every millennial's favourite childhood FPS. Do u remember the giant head mode?

GoldenEye also had a tie-in movie, which introduced popular architect Pierce Brosnan and Dame Judy Dench as the series' first Karen M.

K, as we'll call her (xir?), is set up as another cringe stronk bad-ass womxn character but spends the next six films being either ineffectual or actually dangerously incompetent, and I'm not sure if it was on purpose at all. Never mind though, as the rest of the movie is basically good, with highlights being the tank chase, the intense finale, and enjoyably characterful bit parts like Zukovsky and Boris, and lowlights being Tina Turner and the 2kool techno remix of the Bond theme music, which dates the movie more than anything else ever could.

The Architect is a good Bond who acts like somewhat of a synthesis of previous Bonds. He has a little of the Dalton vulnerability, the Moore detachment, and the Connery charisma, and a lot of actors wouldn't be able to mesh those elements at all. In the same way, GoldenEye works principally by checking the right boxes, keeping a tight pace, and its reputation as the best Brosnan probably owes more to its fidelity in sticking to a formula that works than anything specific. Also I'm sure it has nothing to do with the chick that cums a little when she kills people.
