he only Craig movie I can recall clearly is Skyfall, and that's only because Judi Dench's M dies

the others are very forgettable, except maybe the wicker chair scene in Casino Royale

Quantum of Solace had something to do with a water supply in the desert, and I don't remember the plot of SPECTRE at all

bond is a bumbling doofus who hooks up with the villain chick and gets unknowingly disarmed in the process

Bond is a total horndog perv and every single line he has has to do with being erect or wanting to bang, dude's pun game is about on Arnold's mr freeze level

The dude villain is a ren and stimpy cartoon character and the way he gets taken out is mind-blowingly stupid yet hilarious

The sword fighting scene featuring the villain literally trying to casually murder Bond is something out of 3 stooges

such a hilarious turkey

It's a shame cause the beginning where Bond gets captured and tortured by the Koreans and being considered untrustworthy by MI6 was an interesting story point, but it was wasted. The sword fight was pretty cool too. Too bad the rest of the movie sucked.

I still find SPECTRE to be worse cause of what they did to Blofeld. Lame ass Austin Powers knockoff there and the villain being a relative of the hero is sooo damn cliche at this point anyway. IT's like making The joker into Batman's brother.

And what a frickin waste of Christoph Waltz. That's even more infuriating.

There have been bad Bond movies before like DAD, but at least DAD isn't that insulting nor pissed all over the Bond legacy.

I liked Spectre, people want a traditional Bond movie and that was certainly the closest thing to it.

Skyfall in general didn't really feel all that interesting to me, is it because the villain was just super charismatic?

The Jaguar with the mounted gun and the fencing scene were the best parts of the movie, just BARELY making it better than the worst Bond film, Quantum of Solace

the theme song is EASILY the worst Bond song

Craig has one good movie, Casino Royale, directed by the same guy behind Goldeneye.

Quantum is half ass, crafted during the writer's strike, with too many shades of Bourne and AWFUL camerawork.

Skyfall and Spectre are the epitome of style over substance with boring action sequences and plots that fall apart if you think about them.

The World Is Not Enough is underrated, more of a traditional Bond film, with a good villain in Robert Carlyle and a great villain in Sophie Marceau.

Casino Royale is the best Craig movie, followed closely by Skyfall.

Brosnan literally only had one good Bond movie in Goldeneye. The other ones he did were all among the worst in the franchise, even worse than some of the more questionable Roger Moore ones. Timothy Dalton literally had better Bond movies.

I own the entire franchise on Blu Ray and it was great watching them all.

Honestly one of the best Bond movies is the Lasenby one. It's pretty decent.

Living Daylights is one of the best in the series (along with OHMSS), imo.

I just really find it hard to rewatch any of the Brosnan Bonds outside of Goldeneye because they are all so forgettable.

It sticks out for me because of the relationship between Bond, Elektra and Renard, but I agree that DAD and TND are duds.

After Moore left the series, there's been a direct correlation between the time between Bond movies and how good the next one is.

2 years = crap
3 years = passable, wouldn't rewatch
4 years = good, would rewatch
6 years = excellent, among the best action movies of all time

Like the film before it, the film had a villain with a pointless gimmick. The bad guy goes from Korean to Caucasian because...? He never sleeps because...? Sun-Moon was better than Gustav Graves.

The invisible car. It's application isn't that bad, it's just the concept. It'd like having a mermaid for a Bond girl. Actually, no. I still think the invisible car is worse.

And it's the movie which killed the action movie one-liner. The Bond series helped to establish one-liners as an action trope, but this film just went overboard with it. If Bond had flushed a toilet, he would have made some sort of quip about it.

The rest of the film isn't so bad. It's just sort of a formulaic Bond movie and it's reputation is greatly exaggerated. But between an annoying Bond girl, a useless gimmick villain, an invisible car, and an excess of bad comedy, it really dragged the film down.
