Ah, the Tomatometer. The great arbiter of our collective movie taste. According to this almighty adjudicator, there are only two perfect horror movies ever made, only two perfect sci-fi movies ever made, and, if you can believe it, Tom Cruise’s worst film is apparently “Cocktail.” But if only two films in the entire history of sci-fi filmmaking can claim to be perfect, what hope does Commander Bond have at attaining that elusive perfect score? Well, none apparently. But “Goldfinger” is close.
On Rotten Tomatoes, “Goldfinger” currently sits at a 99% critic score. That makes it the highest-rated James Bond movie on the website. The critical consensus reads:
“‘Goldfinger’ is where James Bond as we know him comes into focus — it features one of 007’s most famous lines (‘A martini. Shaken, not stirred.’) and a wide range of gadgets that would become the series’ trademark.”
A quick look at the RT rankings reveals that 1963’s “From Russia with Love” is a close second with a 97% critics score, followed by “Dr. No” with 95%. Only then do we see the actual best Bond movie, “Casino Royale,” entering the rankings with a 94% rating. Still, many Bond fans will be in absolute agreement with “Goldfinger” being on top.
