Worst ever Bond film?


This has to be up there, it's like watching a cartoon.

reply

No. Quantum of Solace is by far the worst.

as much as I dislike Quantum, I preferred it to this!

reply

Not anymore, thanks to Spectre!!

And by cartoon, do you mean the CGI??

I actually find DAD to be one of the best and most strongest in terms of story, characterization, and attempt to give us something new. It's very much a product of the times, and I for one loved early 2000's action! It's very comic book bond in my eyes, a 00's version of The Spy Who Loved Me.

What did you dislike about it, and was there anything you did like??

Interesting perspective - I can see where you're coming from.

Upon release I loved it. I would have been in my early 20's and loved the excess and scale.

Now...... not so much

Mr Annnderson.....!

Same here and it was my first bond in the theater, good memory and the theater was decorated like bond mania. I had just become a bond fan a few years earlier, and DAD literally blew my socks off!! I still get such a great feeling when I watch it now and it really is one of the best action movies ever made.

What is it nowadays that has made you change your mind??

It's by far the worst ever bond film and was made to appeal to kids who were spending their money on movies like Fast and the Furious and xXx at the time. It had no 'look or feel' of being a real bond movie. Felt to American, not British. If it hadn't been marketed as a bond film, I doubt most people would have even known it was one.

We will have to agree to disagree, as there are plenty worse in my book.

was made to appeal to kids


I'm sure the kiddies loved the only real "sex scene" in a bond film along with extremely suggestive language. What is kiddie to you? The invisible car??

It had no 'look or feel' of being a real bond movie


I don't think with the 24 bond films that have been made that any of them have a particular "look or feel". I mean, does Licence to Kill look like Goldfinger look like The Spy Who Loved me look like The World is Not Enough?

Felt to American, not British.


How did you feel about Moore's Bond films?? Specifically Live and Let Die and A View to a Kill??

If it hadn't been marketed as a bond film, I doubt most people would have even known it was one.


Exactly how I feel about Spectre which feels more like "parody Bond" than serious Bond in my book. But to each there own, ya know?

QOS is the worst talking rubbish.

reply

Die Another Day was stupid and went way too far, but it was entertaining.

It wasn't a snooze fest like Diamonds.

reply

Quantum of solace was an Ebola ridden turd of a Bond film, complete and utter feces from Jason Bourne's ass caked with Bond trimmings and is the worst Bond abomination.

reply

No. I think that the worst Bond movie is (drumroll)....

It's a tie, ladies and gentlemen! Worst Bond movies are Live And Die and The Man With The Golden Gun!

reply

Excluding Never Say Never Again (non EON production) it is a 3 way tie between Diamonds are Forever, The Man with the Golden Gun and A View to a Kill.

reply

You're right about your choices with the exception of A View To A Kill.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
