"Goldfinger" vs. "Casino Royale?" Really? This is one of the hardest choices yet!
on 1/24/2010
On the one hand, "Goldfinger" is the epitome of cool. On the other hand, "Casino Royale" was the Bond movie we've been waiting for since "The Spy Who Loved Me." Still, I gotta give it the old school classic. "Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" You can't beat dialogue like that.

Close, but nobody tops Sean's Bond. Nobody.

Sean Connery vs Daniel Craig in their finest hours! How the hell did this question come up? Oh my God!!! I can't choose. I honestly cannot choose.

Easily Goldfinger. The spirit of the old classic bonds cannot be recreated by the new Bond movies.

Man, you Sean Connery zealots need to give up the ghost; not only is Craig BY FAR the better Bond, even Pierce Brosnan was better. Connery was hairy, slow, and easily duped. Casino Royale is better in every way than Goldfinger: better action, better acting, better plot, higher stakes, better villain, hotter chick. OK, I guess Goldfinger had the name Pussy Galore, I'll give you that.

The only bad thing about "Goldfinger" is that nearly every Bond movie made after it has been a feeble imitation. What makes "Casino Royale" stand out is that it *wasn't* one of those "Goldfinger" wannabes. Still, "Goldfinger" is satisfying in a way that few movies are and it gets the nod. (This time!)

I don't think there would have been more Bond films if it wasn't for Goldfinger. As much as Casino Royale was an amazing reboot, Goldfinger is still, to this day, The Bond film.

Ooooooh, great match up. Even though, for me, the answer is easy. Goldfinger is the best Connery Bond, and still sums up the wit, sofistication and suave style of both Bond and his villains alike, but I just love Casino Royale too much for the action, script and completely fresh take on the Bond films the likes of which we'd never seen before. Massive respect to Connery and Goldfinger, but Royale takes this one.

No doubt that these are two of the best Bond films, but in my opinion Casino Royale is the best.
Casino Royale is probably my all-time favorite James Bond film, whereas Goldfinger doesn't even crack my top five.

like the two before it gold finger has great parts but it drags to much and doesn't keep you engaged.Unlick casino royal with is still my favorite bond film.

10 vs. 9.5 ? Goldfinger easily
I really enjoy Goldfinger...but I'm going with Royale...

Hmm... when I think of "Goldfinger" I think "what a great and exciting Bond movie". I think "Bond movie" because it's what I think of when I think "James Bond" and almost every film that followed tried replicating the great and successful formula of Goldfinger. It contains some of the best moments in Bond history like Jill's corpse painted gold, the laser scene, the introduction to Pussy Galore, a great pre title sequence, etc.. But when I think of "Casino Royale" I think "what a well made and masterful film". Casino Royale (like From Russia With Love and OHMSS) can stand as its own film because of the serious themes, conflict, characters that I care about and gritty realism that doesn't seem forced (like the last 3). It also doesn't try to a repeat of Goldfinger! Casino Royale isn't just great as a Bond movie, but it's a damn great film! Goldfinger is a great thrill ride with an interesting plot and sums up what I love about Bond but Casino Royale has more substance and it's the first film in the series to give us substance since "The Spy Who Loved Me"!

Connery's best beats Craig's overrated

what? big matchup no way, no craig bond could come close to goldfinger. who are these ppl?

Clearly the best two actors in their best outings represnted here. That said, Goldfinger was far before my time...watching it years later it was a good movie and I see why it was well received, but there are layers to Daniel Craig's Bond that Connery's didn't have. Complexity, coupled with more modern action, makes Casino Royale more enjoyable to watch now so it gets the win.

Goldfinger is still excellent, Casino Royale isn't holding up as well for me.

Goldfinger is Connery's best, but Skyfall and Casino Royale has it beat black and blue
