At least QoS has the writers strike excuse going for it. I'd like for someone to explain to me how the makers of DAD allowed the line 'yo mama' to make it into the script



Yeah, as much as I don't like QoS, I can at least let it slide somewhat knowing the circumstances behind the film. Others I can't give that luxury to.

The one where Denise Richards was a rocket scientist.

I hated that movie - I walked out on a film for one of the very rare times. Just didn't care and didn't bother to finish the last 30 minutes...and I practically never walk out on a film unless it's Bucky Larson.

My personal favorite.

Is great until they get into space.

I'd probably go with For Your Eyes Only or Octopussy.

Quantum of Solace wasn't bad....it was just extremely meh.

Die Another Day was atrocious. It's the Batman and Robin of James Bond movies. So many bad things about that movie. There's also something to be said about a 60 year old Bond running around in AVTAK.

I completely zoned out of the plot and just watched Denise. She was smoking.

DAD is the worst. I liked Moonraker until they got to space then they lost it.

It's a close race between Octopussy and Die Another Day for me. I might have to give it to Die Another Day simply because of Madonna's theme song and Halle Berry's acting.

Octopussy is pretty decent imo and one of the better plots.

Are you guys ignoring the Timothy Dalton ones? Man those have to be the biggest stinkers of all time.

Licensed to Kill and The Living Daylights makes Quantum of Solace look like an Oscar winner.

Die Another Day has to be the worst.

Yessir. A horrible way for Brosnan to go out. Goldeneye is in my top 3, and Brosnan was a solid Bond.

I hated OHMSS when I was a kid, but rewatching it as an adult, I like it a lot more.

I've never understood the hate for Octopussy. I always liked that one, and I thought Roger Moore had great chemistry with Maude Adams

You should watch this one again. It's not as spectacular as some of the others, but it's well written and acted and all around very well done

I'd agree with this. Not a bad entry.

Moonraker. Such an awful Bond movie.
Was probably my favorite as a kid. Tried to watch it a few months ago. Stopped quickly.

I think the Brosnan ones besides Goldeneye are awful.

Quantum of Solace was pretty bad.

My least favorite would be License to Kill.

I haven't seen all of the older ones, but Die Another Day is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, let alone James Bond movies.

I liked Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough. Got to remember when these came out, the series was looking for new villains since the Cold War was over and the Soviet Union had collapsed. The concept behind TND was pretty relevant and original.

Although, the BMW's in those two movies were by far the worst Bond cars. Aston Martins FTW.

Take TND off my hate list. I forgot about that one. TWiNE I hated though.

I wasn't a fan of Brosnan as Bond but there's something about A View to a Kill that I can't stand. I won't even watch it during Bond collections on tv.


Part of it was that Moore was way too old to playing the part at the time.
