That still doesn't change the fact that it is still the worst Bond film ever made, even after 45 years.

I think die another day is

[–] gerard-21 8 years ago

Die Another Day (DAD) is easily the worst. DAF is somewhere in the middle of the pack, certainly nowhere near as bad as the drek that DAD is.

I actually like die another day, yes it has problems but it has other things going for it. I like the subtle references they snuck in for the hardcore fans.

Diamonds are forever is one of the most poorly made films I’ve ever seen. The pre title sequence was good but then it all goes down from there. The only reason I even watch it is because it is legitimately part of the series and there are some moments of unintentional hilarity

I think it's about 15 way tie.

ur an idiot

[–] johnmiller (3340) 4 years ago

It is a mess. Simply feels randomly thrown together. But, yeah, DAD is hilariously awful! Even Brosnan laughed at how stupid it was. "Goldeneye" was Brosnan's only great Bond movie. The others were anywhere from mediocre to awful.

Connery looked absolutely terrible for 40.

I can't believe Roger Moore was a few years older than him in Live and Let Die.

Connery looked like *beep* in DAF, unfortunately.

[–] tonycarr 8 years ago

Personally I thought he looked better in NSNA. Older sure, but a lot tougher and not trying to pretend to be younger

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 4 years ago

All of that and they paid him a million something for the role. A lot of money at the time. A lot of money.

[–] FridayOnElmStreet 8 years ago

Yeah he looked rather rugged in this.

[–] ThomasCrown76 8 years ago

I'd rather remember him in his prime

[–] andersb-36022 8 years ago

40 REALLY? He looked to be in his early 50's by this point.

[–] eetle 8 years ago

It's only 4 years after his last bond outing but he looks like he went from 36 to 55 in those 4 years. It's kind of remarkable.

[–] loserkids55 8 years ago

Brosnan was born 16 May 1953, so he was 41/42 when GoldenEye was filmed in 1995.

Dalton was born 21 March 1944, so he was 42 when TLD was filmed in 1986.

[–] cdellier_7 8 years ago

40 was a lot different back then than it is now.

This'll hurt him more than me!

[–] Washingtonnative (2613) 6 years ago

Connery was 41 in this. I suppose the reason why he looks old in this is, maybe he had a few vices back then.

[–] johnmarti59 (2356) 4 years ago

And putang is the biggest vice of all.
