Bond Films Rewatch
Posted on 2/28/26 at 8:55 pm

Anyone else start a rewatch of the James Bond movies now that they are all on Netflix?
Been rewatching them in order from Dr. No to now being on Live and Let Die.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen them that I am basically watching with fresh eyes.
Gotta admit, Lazenby was actually pretty great in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. And Telly Savalas is excellent as Blofeld.
For pure camp, Goldfinger may be my favorite but OHMSS is probably second.

I watched Dr. No the other day. Made it about halfway through From Russia With Love. I've watched them all countless times; they're just dinner time background entertainment now. I own all of them on BluRay.

I'll go to the grave saying Goldeneye is the bets Bond film ever made. To me, it's the quintessential and perfect Bond.
The Roger Moore films are so bad in retrospect, but the one with Walken and Grace Jones always stood out.
Never actually seen the Tim Dalton ones.

If you've read Ian Fleming's books, Dalton very likely plays the role the most like the character Fleming created. His two films are worth your time.
I agree the Moore films were certainly worse than Connery's, as was his portrayal. Moore was good in Live and Let Die and got progressively worse in the role and stayed 2-3 films too long.

I would argue Skyfall is the best Bond film but the purest would kill me. Either way its a great film.

Dalton was solid, The Living Daylights is underrated.

Living Daylights is a solid film. License to Kill is meh. But Dalton is probably the most underrated Bond.

Rewatched all the Moore movies over the last few weeks.
Roger Moore is the best Bond, then Connery is a close second.
Sgt. JW Pepper is my favorite side character in the series.

I think the best movie in the Bond franchise is Casino Royale and to me it isn’t close.
Nothing feels shoehorned, everything is earned.
Craig does a great job oozing young swagger and bravado, while simultaneously allowing real emotion to creep in.
Green is near perfect as Vesper, very much a strong person with depth that shows in her eyes. And she’s absolute smoke.
Mads is intimidating but grounded and plays Le Chifre with intensity but never over the top.
The action is top notch. The gadgets are cool. The plot is great.
It’s my favorite for sure.

Great song too.

I always said Goldfinger was the best with GoldenEye second. And I would follow that up with “I don’t think that’ll ever change.”
And then Casino Royale came out.

Saw an interview with Roger Moore and he said he told his son he was taking him to his James Bond movie Live and let die. Son responded he wanted to see the real James Bond.

Would be interesting to see if this is how the actor’s debut and ended and how that would change perceptions of the various films as both Connery and Moore got very lazy towards the end of their tenure as Bond.
Dr No thru OHMSS - Connery
Diamonds Are Forever thru Moonraker - Moore
For Your Eyes Only thru License To Kill - Dalton
Brosnan and Craig stay the same.
I think OHMSS would have been amazing and different with Connery instead of Lazenby. The same for For Your Eyes Only with Dalton instead of Moore.

Connery was the best Bond, because he set the tone (similar to Washington as president). "Bond ... James Bond." His best film was Goldfinger
Brosnan was 007. He was best with the quips, the tux, the looks, none better. His best film was Goldeneye
Craig is 3rd, but not really 3rd. His Casino Royale film was one of the best in the franchise. But his overall rating falls because of his intentional move of taking 007 woke
Dalton should be 3rd, but he doesnt have a film that can topple Royale. His best outing was The Living Daylights
Roger Moore just wasnt Bond to me. He was better cast as The Saint. Moores best storyline was The Spy Who Loved Me. Plus, the title song was fantastic, and nominated for an Oscar
George Lazenby of course is last. The fact they talked Connery into coming out of retirement should be proof that George just didnt hit the mark. 007 getting married was completely anti-Bond. The best part for me was the prominent use of the fluglehorn throughout the score

I think y’all always disrespect Moore in these threads. For Your Eyes Only and The Spy Who Loved Me are incredible movies. I’d have them in my top 5 Bond movies. I don’t think any of them aren’t entertaining. While Brosnan oozes 007 vibes and Craig nails the bravado with some emotion, some of their movies are just bleh.

Craig movies took all of the swagger, attitude, humor, and fun out of the movies. They might as well have been Mission Impossible or their own thing. The end of the Craig era w/ the woke bullshite killed the franchise. I don't care if they ever reboot the series.

I get it. I just think Casino Royale is an actually great movie, pre-“wokeness,” Craig, like Bond, eager to prove himself, everything is executed extremely well.
The camp is gone, and thus some of the charm, but he still has the one line quips, the easy swagger, the subtle humor. He definitely has the attitude.
He is a heightened, more serious Bond in it, but he is far from humorless or without charisma.
