The first outing for Brosnan as 007 hits a lot of targets but it quickly becomes evident that chief bad guy 006 Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) couldn't hit a barn door. It should've been obvious from the start as Mr Bean nearly always plays a villain.

Alec fakes his own death but still manages to melt half of his face off in the process. If that wasn't a bad enough start, he decides to hire some hackers to take millions out of the Bank of England to fund his already (inexplicably) wealthy empire.

He then intends to use the famed GoldenEye satellite weapon to blow up the bank, most of England (as well as its economy) and therefore any traces of his theft. But it will also instantly devalue the currency he has just stolen, and if he tries to convert such a large sum he will instantly be caught!
