Goldfinger (Guy Hamilton, 1965)
I went ahead and finished off the three films that comprised the Criterion Channel's early James Bond movies collection. Guy Hamilton's 1965 Goldfinger is a lot like Dr. No, that is, two bracketing movies that are much, much weaker than From Russia With Love. You would think that after From Russia With Love you'd have the series figured out, but some studio executive decided that they needed more lasers and time spent in Kentucky, so here we are. There's nothing that I could say or not say that would make you watch or not watch a James Bond movie, but it's pretty forgettable - although doubtless I will watch it again sometime before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
