Following the legal disputes, GoldenEye (1995) relaunched the franchise for the post-Cold War era. Brosnan combined Connery’s toughness with Moore’s suaveness. His films were characterized by high budgets, product placement, and an emphasis on technology and female empowerment (though still criticized for outdated tropes regarding women).
