"No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."
DID YOU KNOW?
Goldfinger is widely considered the film that defined the James Bond formula -- gadgets, girl, villain monologue, and all.
THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
The film that codified the Bond formula -- the pre-title sequence, the villain monologue, the improbable escape -- and executed it with such precision that the template proved unshakeable for decades. Gert Frobe's Auric Goldfinger is the franchise's gold standard for villains: a man with a genuine plan, genuine menace, and genuine wit. The Aston Martin DB5 appears here for the first time. Essential viewing, entirely on its own terms.
