GOLDFINGER (1964)

With SKYFALL 007 coming out this November, I decided to do a James Bond movie marathon, watching a Bond film every other day with a whole group of the critics of this website, plus an additional three to four more critics.  We will be reviewing the Bond films up until the release of the new film, and then a review of the new film as well.  :)

Highest Reviewed Christopher Nolan films

Here is the list of the four films on this website that are directed by Christopher Nolan.  Here they are from BEST to WORST:

1. INCEPTION (2010)- 88%
2. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012)- 81%
3. THE DARK KNIGHT (2008)- 72%
4. BATMAN BEGINS (2005)- 65%


According to the critics of this website, many of the Batman films have just gotten a little bit too dark.  Hence the "DARK" Knight name in the title.  However, according to the critics, many things in film need to be balanced.  These films do not do that...
