Title: Worst James Bond movie Post by: The Burgomaster on June 25, 2004, 03:41:27 PM There are a lot of discussions about people's favorite James Bond movie. But which is the WORST James Bond movie?
In my opinion, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE is the worst. Other than the ninja attack at the end, it's pretty pathetic. Many people will say ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE because they don't like George Lazenby. I actually don't mind Lazenby (I'd rather watch him than Roger Moore any day). Plus, I think ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE would have been the best Bond film of all if Connery had been in it. (It is one of my favorites even without Connery). A lot of critics wrote lousy reviews of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. It is pretty silly, and Bond is chubby, but YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE is worse. I think the biggest Roger Moore stinker is A VIEW TO A KILL. Although, the part of OCTOp***y where he is dressed in a clown suit makes me sick every time I see it. And, of course, the "fake" Bond movie NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN is also pretty dull. Any other opinions? Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: Aaron Peetz on June 25, 2004, 03:51:02 PM I'd say the worst james bond is................................this is a tough one. James bond makes good movies. let's see here. I'd have to say, you only live twice, time things aren't james b.

My least favorite is either Moonraker (the space battle was cool thought) or The Man with the Golden Gun (It has it's moments and Christopher Lee was cool.). I like ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE as well I'd I'd rather watch Lazenby than Moore any day also.

I guess the new one was okay. The truth is nomatter how hard I try I will always end up liking any Bond film. I'm too forgiving
Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: Deej on June 25, 2004, 06:21:40 PM OHMSS is one of the best Bond movies, in my opinion. The early Roger Moore movies were okay, but after awhile, being in a clown suit was appropriate for Moore.
I think Die Another Day was the absolute worst Bond film. It was so unbelievably bad!! It brought back most of the goofy gadgetry, and despite its budget, some of the cheapness of the 80's Bond movies. There was so much awfulness floating around in that flick, that I can't even pinpoint one particular thing. Wait, the invisible car....that was one particulary awful thing. Horrible.....just horrible. Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: trekgeezer on June 25, 2004, 06:29:58 PM I pretty much discount any of the Roger Moore Bond films. I liked Lazenby and I also liked Timothy Dalton because he brought a hard edge back to Bond after all those stupid Roger Moore films. Brosnan is okay.
I really get a laugh out of talk about people like Orlando Bloom or Ewan McGregor being candidates for the part when Pierce leaves. I read a while back that Quinton Tarintino was talking to Pierce Brosnan about wanting to direct a Bond movie, particularly a serious remake of Casino Royale (a real Ian Fleming Bond novel). Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: raj on June 25, 2004, 07:57:44 PM Moonraker. Having a shootout like that in space? I don't think so. Definitely a jump the shark moment. It was then that I realized the movie makers were relying on special effects and events, rather than telling a story. I could never really get back into Bond after that. Haven't seen any of the Dalton/Brosnan versions, though.
Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: Fearless Freep on June 25, 2004, 10:52:33 PM Yeah, just go read some of the junk I've seen in the "worst movie ever" thread and then tell me to speak badly of a Bond film :)
Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: JohnL on June 26, 2004, 12:24:32 AM I think A View to a Kill was my least favorite. Wasn't that also the one with the least gadgets?
Title: Re: Worst James Bond movie Post by: mudguts on June 26, 2004, 03:44:08 PM were there any good ones?
