However, the film received several negative reviews. Richard Schickel of "Time" wrote that after "a third of a century's hard use", Bond's conventions survived on "wobbly knees", while in "Entertainment Weekly", Owen Gleiberman thought the series had "entered a near-terminal state of exhaustion." Dragan Antulov said that the film had a predictable series of scenes, and Kenneth Turan of the "Los Angeles Times" said that it was "a middle-aged entity anxious to appear trendy at all costs". David Eimer of "Premiere" wrote that "the trademark humour is in short supply" and that "Goldeneye isn't classic Bond by any stretch of the imagination." Madeleine Williams said that "there are plenty of stunts and explosions to take your mind off the plot."
