Worst Bond movies for me (no particular order):

Die Another Day: Clearly Brosnan and the entire crew just don't care anymore. Even the title is lazy. If it wasn't for the invisible car no one would even remember it. And that is remembered for just being stupid.

Living Daylights: It may be the reason why Dalton is so disliked is because of this movie and not the second movie he made which is fucking incredible. It is easily the worst "intro to a new Bond" movie. And there's no relief from the supporting cast either. Joe Don Baker is the villain but... god he might be the worst villain I think we've seen in a Bond movie. Just a dorky general that likes to play with toys. You couldn't come up with a lamer villain than that. But the theme of this movie by A-Ha is fucking awesome. That's it.

Spectre: This movie had everything going for it going in. A capable director, a good Bond. But it's just shit. Confusing, meandering. It brings back Spectre, which really, I never liked the idea of Spectre in the first place. I know it is a major element of the novels and many of the earlier Bond movies, but it's one reason why the Sean Connery movies are a little weak for the most part - because they carry this Spectre subplot through them that basically doesn't go anywhere. I would be for reviving it if it went anywhere but instead it's just like... maybe the last Bond Craig will ever make? Not a good note to go out on.

For Your Eyes Only: Probably good to get back to basics after the spectacularly ridiculous Moonraker, but as a result this movie comes off as the most formula and basic Bond in the series. Get thing, get girl, movie over. It is a very bland and forgettable movie.

I also think the most overrated movie in the series is Skyfall. OK, it's a good movie, but nowhere near the best, and there's a lot of things about it that get into dangerous areas, like explaining too much about Bond's origins. I think the only thing I loved about it was the Julian Assange inspired villain (which was pretty clever).
