This 1964 entry is the most enjoyable of the James Bond thrillers starring Sean Connery -- perhaps because it's the most comic and cartoony in look as well as conception.

Presented here in a newly restored digital print, it should look especially swish on the big screen.
Derek Adams, Time Out

... what they give us in Goldfinger is an excess of-science-fiction fun, a mess of mechanical melodrama and a minimum of bedroom farce.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times

If it is not a great film, it is a great entertainment, and contains all the elements of the Bond formula that would work again and again.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
