Just because your friend picked Oddjob all of the time, that doesn't make the movie bad.

The hell it doesn't. The movie introduced him, so I'm giving it the blame. Fuck y'all, Goldeneye and Oddjob.

Die Another Day
Moonraker
Quantum of Solace
Octopussy
A View to a Kill

It is a crime that A View to a Kill has such a good song.

For some reason, I never did see Octopussy for the longest and saw it for the first time a few years ago. While it has some of the silliest moments in JB history, I really enjoyed it. Even with it's silly parts, the movie took itself seriously story wise and the plot was pretty good.

I think most people think of Octopussy and remember the Tarzan yell, the gorilla suit, the clown costume... all very silly, yes. But it's up there with Moonraker as one I'll defend for being far better than it's reputation suggests.

Even most detractors wouldn't argue against the pretitle sequence, it's outstanding. Most of the action scenes and stuntwork are great in this one, actually. Orlov is a wonderfully hammy villain. The Yo-yo saws are bizarre yet horrific. 009 being hunted down in clown disguise is, again, bizzare but haunting. And Bond rushing to disarm the bomb is a genuinely tense piece of work.

Worst film for me is easily Die Another Day. Everything else I'll at least be in the mood for very occasionally. But I never, ever feel like watching that one.

Loving the Octopussy praise. I think its a genuinely great, campy, spy thriller. Its one of the few movies in the franchise with an interesting plot. Orlov is an unforgettable villain, also.

I mean, I could never call it a great movie, but I think it's decent - just very, very stupid. But it's not like that happened by mistake, it's gloriously, willfully absurd. I hated it during my teenage "Bond should be super serious!" phase, but was surprised watching it years later how much of a kick I got out of it. It's like an officially sanctioned Bond parody, making Austin Powers obsolete 20 years in advance.

Also, the bit where Corrine gets killed by the dogs seems to drop in from an entirely different film and it's nightmarish.

That part always reminds me of Game of Thrones. But yeah, I feel the same way.

The gondola scene is one of the most bafflingly stupid and amazing things I've ever seen in an action movie.

I always go back and forth between Diamonds Are Forever and The Man With the Golden Gun. I dislike them for the same reason: an anticlimax after a lot of buildup.
After rewatching it, I think Spectre has the biggest anticlimax of them all. Bond shoots down Blofelds helicopter with a pistol and Blofeld is arrested.

Diamonds is forgettable, but it's not bad

Man with the Golden Gun is up there but it also brought us Nick Nak and the golden gun. Plus Christopher Lee

Moonraker is just outrageous and campy. If you watch it knowing it's bad it's pretty entertaining.

Octopussy was pretty fucking terrible. I wouldn't be mad if someone said it was the worst.

View to a Kill was disappointing, but not bad. Literal Christopher Walken.

Never Say Never shouldn't really count. It's also more of a parody film.

Die Another Day is really bad. Like really bad. It tries to be serious too, but ends up like Moonraker levels of cheesy. But at least Moonraker knew what it was doing. Die Another Day is just a complete shitshow that has no value at all. Probably the worst Bond film.

Quantum of Solace is boring and forgettable, but there's worse Bond films.

Spectre as a plot was a disaster. Otherwise it was pretty status quo for a Craig film. Definitely bottom half tier of Bond films but not really terrible.

So it's Die Another Day for me, and I'd be comfortable saying Octopussy was the worst too.

Also, I don't care what anyone says. From Russia with Love was overrated as fuck and is a terrible movie.

Nope.

Pierce Brosnan is the worst 007 of all time, It has one of the worst Bond girls of all time, and the least interesting hero-villain interaction in the franchise.

Casino Royale and Dr. No are far above the rest.

Which isn't saying much. Brosnan is pretty much a non factor in the Hollywood grand scene.

Maybe the scene between Connery and Shaw is some amazing banter for an Oscar winning movie from the 60s, but for a Bond film it sucks.

In its defense, FRWL is more of a slow-moving spy thriller than a "traditional" Bond movie, as it was only the second in the series and had yet to cultivate the elements the franchise is today known for.

Chalk another one up for Die Another Day.

Except for Casino Royale the Craig movies are also pretty bad, but at least they have some redeeming qualities. Die Another Day has no excuse for being so hard to find any good in it.

I don't remember much from the pre-Brosnan movies.

Now for Brosnan, Goldeneye is by far is best movie (and perhaps even THE best Bond movie). All his other movies are crap. I especially remember a bad CGI scene where he was parachute-surfing or something like that. I do feel however, Brosnan was cast well as Bond.

As for Craig, Quantom of Solace is completely forgettable, but all his other movies are good to great.

Skyfall has a lot of redeeming qualities, great story, good cast, good action. Again it's just mainly Craig having the charm of a wood plank. That might be why CR is his best one, because he just shows the most emotion, even though as a movie CR is not as flashy. Works well with him, I think.

I have to defend AVTAK a bit. At least A View To A Kill is memorable, has one of the best theme songs, and has Christopher Walken in it. And at least it wasn't completely forgettable like Quantum of Solace or have a stupid, cliche, Austin Powers twist like Spectre.

As for Skyfall, while I think it's fine to almost good, I think the bar being so low for the Craig films helps it. It's not a very good Bond movie though, but none of his movies are. It's like Disney's sequel Star Wars trilogy. They didn't have an overall plan and the movies are all over the place. Bond is a new 00 in CR, but by Skyfall he's a worn down old dog who needs to retire. What are they trying to do? CR is like The Force Awakens: a fine and interesting start and it makes you want to see where it goes because of all the series potential it possibly has, but then it all goes to crap

Theres no way in hell A View to a Kill is better than Skyfall. Zorin is one of my favorite Bond villains, but the movie surrounding him is so dull.
