    Yes

    3. How do you like GoldenEye compared to other films in the James Bond Series?

    I would say it is one of the better ones, Pierce Brosnan and the director had a lot of pressure to deliver a good film after the long Bond hiatus and I think they did.

    Very much

    5. How did you like the performance of Pierce Brosnan compared to other actors who have portrayed James Bond?

    For me, he is the best next to Connery, had the looks that somewhat matched the literary description of Bond and had the right presence.

    Sean Connery

    2. What is your favourite James Bond film?
    From Russia With Love

    3. What was the first James Bond film you saw?
    The Man With the Golden Gun

    Yes


    SECTION B

    1. Did you see GoldenEye in the cinema when it was first released?
    Yes

    2. Did you enjoy the film?
    No. It was way too different to what I was used to. They destroyed the original Bond theme and changed it into an up-tempo tune, they hired a woman to play M ... the film had potential, but the fact that it's so different to the traditional classic films made me cringe. It just wasn't ... Fleming-like.

    3. How do you like GoldenEye compared to other films in the James Bond Series?
    It is among my least favourite of the series. But I do like the title song.

    4. Did you enjoy the performance of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in GoldenEye?
    No

    5. How did you like the performance of Pierce Brosnan compared to other actors who have portrayed James Bond?
    Of the six actors who have played in official Bond films, I'd rate Brosnan as the 5th best.


    SECTION D

    1. Do you remember how GoldenEye was marketed at the time of its release? If so what do you remember?
    All I remember are the posters advertising the film, which was to be released in Australia and New Zealand on December 26, 1995

    2. Do you remember any merchandise linked with GoldenEye at the time of its release? If so what do you remember?
    No

    5. How did you like the performance of Pierce Brosnan compared to other actors who have portrayed James Bond?

    I like Pierce Brosnan's sauve-but-tough personna. I prefer Timothy Dalton's tough and sensitive personna.



    SECTION D

    1. Do you remember how GoldenEye was marketed at the time of its release? If so what do you remember?

    GoldenEye was marketed as new era for Bond, making use of Brosnan as a new Bond. A more 'modern and 'relevant' tone', was the key marketing strategy.

    2. Do you remember any merchandise linked with GoldenEye at the time of its release? If so what do you remember?

    There was a large number merchandising linked to GoldenEye. From promotional 'Parker' pens, to model cars, stickers, collectable cards, pogs, lunchboxes. Phillips, BMW, Golden Wonder crisps and Heineken all had promotional packaging.
