Cinema Sins have done a funny video discussing "everything wrong" with Goldfinger.
Like a lot of their videos, it's just them being nit-picky/trying to be funny rather than them actually being critical.

Don't show this to Blackleiter!
He'd be freaking out
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
If anyone's interested, they also did a video for Skyfall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmoIDKqfY44
I don't understand these videos.Nit picking for the sake of nitpicking.Mind you, I'd enjoy one on DAD

Testify, my brother from another mother! I actually know what's wrong with Goldfinger, and I don't give a toss--it's the greatest Bond film ever made!
Amen! {[]

4) The OST misses a few good tracks
3) Richard Maibaum's typo: "Masterson" should be "Masterton"
2) Cec Linder is poorly cast as Felix Leiter

Other than the toupee, the film is the best Bond film ... ever!
Bond’s Beretta
The Handguns of Ian Fleming's James Bond
Tilly is one of the most problematic characters ever to appear in a Bond film. There's just so much wrong with her!
Tilly's assassination attempt was ridiculous. Bond was obviously in the way. She could have pulled right next to Goldfinger if she wanted to, since he wouldn't know who she was or except her to tail him to Switzerland. Plus, Oddjob glancing up and smiling at the gunshot makes no sense either. This was all a clumsy attempt to make the audience think that Tilly was a badguy trying to kill Bond.
Bond obviously thinks that she is a badguy and yet lets her go without tailing her or anything. Go figure.
And when Bond tells her that he knows about what happened to Jill in Miami, Tilly responds without hesitation "No You Don't! Let me go!" Well, Bond OBVIOUSLY does know based on what he told her.
Last and least, Oddjob's hat does not decapitate her, yet we already saw it cut thru a statue.
A couple other things that bother me about GF:
1. They should have just let the Delta-9 nerve gas as a "non-lethal" weapon as described in Goldfinger's briefing.
This would better explain why he would gas the thugs, go to the additional trouble of killing Mr. Solo, and also make it less sad for first time viewers to see the entire town "dying".
For some reason it was added into the script that Bond says Delta 9 is lethal. Imagine if that single line was cut there would be a noticeable improvement.
2. Pussy Galore makes a big deal about the fact that she never carries a gun after hours and is completely defenseless. Then wanders off with Bond with no supervision. Why wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity to escape? He even has a getaway car right outside the fence. Yet, Bond does nothing to complete his mission other than have his way with Pussy and then go back to captivity.
