Worst James Bond movie?

[Archae]

Besides the first Casino Royale, of course.

For me, the worst was "Moonraker."

Cliche city.

[geardaddy]

1. So right.

That was a real stinker.

"007 what's your position?"

"Attempting re-entry."

[LynneSin]

2. Whichever one Denise RIchards was in

She was just awful as a Bond Girl. Up until her turn in a Bond Movie, Richards started in a series of movies where she was a high schooler and suddenly she's a Rocket Scientist (literally) in the movie. Plus her acting was wooden and although she was attractive as can be she had no chemistry with Bond (at the time Pierce Bronan).

5. "The World is Not Enough" n/t

[sharp_stick]

3. License to Kill

I hated Timothy Dalton, IMO he even made Roger Moore watchable.

The interaction between Dalton and Carey Lowell (Pam Bouvier, WTF, even a lame Bond Girl name) was terrible.

Felix Leiter getting maimed by a Great White Shark however, that was hilarious.

[Taverner]

4. Every Bond movie after "Live and Let Die"

[hifiguy]

6. Moonraker is an abomination unto dog.

Horrible villain - the guy moved like a cigar store wooden Indian shot up with Thorazine and projected all the menace of a sleeping house cat.

Worst ever Bond Girl - the ice cold Lois Childs (who?).

Incredibly hokey special effects that wouldn't have been out of place in an Ed Wood film.

Roger Moore as Bond.

Blecch!

If the franchise could survive that turkey it is absolutely bombproof.

Octopussy is very nearly as bad.

[kwassa]

7. All of them

I think Bond is the male counterpart to "50 Shades of Grey".

[HopeHoops]

8. #1) "Moonraker"; #2) Octapussy (just for the name).

[southerncrone]

9. Agree w/kwassa--all of them.

They promote violence & objectify women as traitors or trophies.

[Bucky]

21. You say that like it's a bad thing.

[southerncrone]

23. Cuz it is, Bucky.

Cuz it is...

10. Moonraker (first CR doesn't count)

My bottom five:

Live and Let Die
View to a Kill
Die Another Day
Man With the Golden Gun
Moonraker

Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale (1967) don't count IMO as neither were official Eon productions.

[name not needed]

11. Either Moonraker or Die Another Day

I can't decide what's worse, the space station full of ubermensch or the secret North Korean space laser.

[pokerfan]

12. They're both in my bottom five

The only thing that keeps DAD from the worst spot is it was moderately interesting trying to spot the (40th anniversary) references to every single prior Bond film. (about 2/3 of the way down the page, under 'spoilers.'

For me, one of the biggest problems with DAD was its excessive use of CGI. Bond films always kinda prided themselves on their practical effects and traditional stunt work.

[OriginalGeek]

13. I love every cheesy second of every single Bond Film

I imagine it is possible they could make one where I would roll my eyes and so "Oh brother..." but I haven't seen it yet.

[Bryan]

14. A View to a Kill

It's basically Goldfinger with the serial numbers filed off, it's padded as hell, and ancient Rog getting it on with Grace Jones is like something out of a John Waters film.

[TheMightyFavog]

15. You had to admit though, Christopher Walken made a damn good villian.

[tokenlib]

16. I thought he was one of the better villains...

[hifiguy]

27. Walken was terrific in that film.

Not one bit of scenery went unchewed, and expertly so. He and the killer-good Duran Duran theme made that movie at least bearable, for a Roger Moore episode.

[tokenlib]

17. Though you are speaking of the worst..I think On Her Majesty's Secret Service was one of the best...

Since George Lazenby always gets kicked around so much--and I thought the movie was one of the better ones..

[Kennah]

18. On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Bond crying

[whistler162]

22. Heathen.... REPENT!!!!

always my favorite Bond and Bond film!

[Kennah]

29. Dame Judi Dench woulda slapped him until his tears dried up

"You're a double-O, Bond. For Gawd's sake man, grow a pair of bawls."

[Initech]

26. Ugh, I didn't like that one either.

It dragged on way too long at the end.

[Jack Rabbit]

19. Tie

Among all of the ones with Roger Moore.

[Bucky]

20. "The Living Daylights" - Bond didn't even get laid!

As everyone knows, covert espionage professionals routinely have intercourse with the girlfriends or daughters of surveillance and operations target while out on their missions. I can't imagine how covert missions could possibly be carried out without this obviously necessary element to their important security work. So it's utterly ridiculous to think that Bond could have defeated notorious drug trafficker Robert Davi without at least picking up a prostitute in the course of his investigation.

[southerncrone]

24. You say that like it's a bad thing.

[mcdornan1]

25. it's a tie

between "Live and Let Die" and "Man with the Golden Gun".

There was nothing in them I liked (no I don't like the McCartney song). and, oddly enough, Sheriff J W Pepper is in both.

[TrogL]

28. The Man with the Golden Gun
