How did they fuck up so badly?

Berry's performance is so bad that it makes this scene from LTK look good in comparison.

Nah, that dude was probably just like eight years old when he saw it. My little brother was like 8 when "Batman and Robin" came out and he thought that was the best Batman movie. Tastes change.

Or else you go back and watch it years later and realize the error of your ways

>1. The Living Daylights
Good taste, senpai

The problem with Pierce Brosnan is that he brings nothing new to the table. His films are dry and bland.

All other actors have a different take on Bond.

Connery is a charismatic alpha male.
Moore is a funny suave gentleman.
Dalton is serious and dark.
Craig is a cold brutal killer.

Brosnan is.. a mixed bag, he tries to be everything at once. It feels so forced, he's average and not exciting to watch.

Every Brosnan Bond film:
>lots of explosions
>Bond firing with machine guns
>Bond staring and looking like a model

His movies haven't aged well.

This is coming from someone who grew up in the Brosnan era. As a kid I thought he was James Bond, until I watched all the other Bond films and realized the other actors did it better, not to mention having more interesting films.

>THE worst Bond movie
Die Another Day (2002)

Die Another Day is still better than any of the "Bond movies" that came after it.

I will admit I am a literary fan - I prefer the books to the films. In fact I read the books in the late seventies before I saw the films. When Goldfinger was shown on the TV I was thinking "Oh so that's what Goldfinger looks like..."

1. For Your Eyes Only
2. The Living Daylights
3. From Russia with Love
4. Casino Royale
5. OHMSS

Its "Eyes Only" because that was the Bond which was so different from Moonraker. It relied on character and plot. And I loved the Greek and Italian locations. But where is Octopussy. Surely there's room for that.OP is one of my "favourites" but not the best Bond

"Daylights" is a joy. Mainly due to Daltons portrayal. He blasts himself onto the screen. FRWL is one of the most literary stories with the characters of Kerim Bey, Tatiana and Klebb up on screen. The book didn't take much altering

OHMSS the same reason - plus a shocker of an ending

Casino Royale is my generations Bond film. A literary classic with mighty Daniel Craig in the role. A man who can destroy you with a look. The film actually improves on the book.

So bubbling under my top five is DN, LTK, "Spy" and SF (and possibly spectre). I like the literary Bonds. The ones which can be easily translated to Flemings work. I have very little patience with those who don't try to books. They don't know what they are missing out on...

>No.1 isnt Idris Elba

everything after and before it is better.

>Shitty Bond films (universally disliked)
>Skyfall (2012)
This meme needs to die

Everything after misses the point of the entire character and franchise.

Hollywood execs actually wanted to give Jinx her own movies after this shit

Skyfall was a shitty cornball memefest, with the most anticlimactic final-fight I've seen in a while.

The firefight at the old Bond house was the only part I liked, hell it's the only part I somewhat remember. Quantum was better even.

The entire first half of this movie is fantastic.

Problem is he makes Bond look like a manlet

>Skyfall was a shitty cornball memefest

I don't include nuBond, as far as I'm concerned it's a separate franchise

why do people pretend that On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a good movie

I don't think it's a good movie at all. It's a fucking amazing movie

>WE HAVE ALL. THE TIME. IN THE WOOORLD

Die Another Day has Rosamund Pike so it gets a pass from me
Also I unironically love View to a Kill because it was the first Bond I ever saw

It's not a good example of a Bond movie but it's a good movie in general.

Not even meming, what the fuck did he mean by that?

The title itself is adapted from Ian Fleming's short story "From A View to a Kill", contained in the For Your Eyes Only collection of short stories released in 1960; however the title is where the similarity between short story and the film end [...] At the end of Octopussy during the famed "James Bond Will Return" sequence, it listed the next film as "From A View to a Kill", the name of the original short story; however, the title was later changed a few months before filming for unknown reasons. The original title "From A View to a Kill" was taken from a version of the words to a traditional hunting song "D'ye ken John Peel?": "From a find to a check, from a check to a view,/From a view to a kill in the morning".

It's just a blatant title drop they thought would sound cool

I thought the main villain was good in this. Other than Halle Berry and the cgi it was pretty good. I rank it over The World Is Not Enough, on a par with Tomorrow Never Dies.

I've never really watched any James Bond movies. I think the only one I've seen all the way through is Casino Royale.
Which order should I watch them in? Chronological release?

Toby Stephens seriously should have been Bond
He's totally wasted in this, like Rosamund

You like fags, what's new

TWINE is actually my favorite of the Brosnan-era, even over GoldenEye. It's so original compared to other films in the series, and Elektra is great

The other girl was fit as well, was she not?

He would have been a good villain were it not for the fact that he as the most laughably ridiculous backstory in the history of movie villains

>former North Korean colonel who gets plastic surgery to make him into white English billionaire playboy so he can construct a sun-powered superweaoon
Did the writers make this movie shit intentionally?

She was hot, definitely, and her attempt at playing a nuclear physicist was amusing in its ridiculousness. A terrible character but one that works somehow and adds unintentional comic relief

Denise Richards? You bloody bet she was.

Youre forgetting that he couldnt ever sleep and had to use a dream machine or something. Granted its pretty crazy even for Bond, but something about his overall pompous and arrogant character made it all the funnier.
This useless tart killed Zukovsky Never forgive, never forget.

The trouble is, Tomorrow Never Dies was "media mogul wants to start a war to get an exclusive", and TWINE was "Someone wants to build an oil pipeline".

They probably thought Die Another Day would get kudos for going back to the old-school ridiculous Bond plots.

Connery > Craig > Dalton > Moore with good material > Brosnan > Moore with bad material

It's really hard to judge Bond actors, because they can be incredible in one movie and shit in the next. Moore was hit by it the hardest, because he was great at being the suave, charismatic, and even cold-blooded in equal measure, but the writers were insistent on playing him as a literal clown so he never got too many moments to shine. Who the fuck even knows how you fit Lazenby in there.

>ranking Craig above Dalton
wew

Why is there hate for The Man with the Golden Gun? I thought it's meant to be a classic.

Was this the BMW commercial one

Roger Moore is trying to act like Sean Connery and it's cringe-worthy, only one good action setpiece and it's ruined by a ridiculous sound effect

Most importantly of all, it's just boring. That's a death sentence for a Bond movie, even other films in the franchise counted among the worst are at least entertaining

>tfw also unironically love View To A Kill

I don't know why, but it's one of my top 5 Bonds.

Somehow still more coherent and watchable than Quantum of Solace.

Those 2 have to be bottom of the barrel, though.

one thing I love about Bond fandom is that every film has its diehard defenders

there's always something to discuss and you never know when you'll rewatch a film and realize you love it far more or less than you did the last time, my ranking changes regularly

QoS is an incredibly quaint and subtle Bond, I guess it flew over your head

>Connery is a charismatic alpha male

Connery is a sociopath in the Queen's employ.

>Chronological release?

Pretty much. Dr.No is a solid introduction into the Bond franchise.

Watch Connery first, then Brosnan, then Craig

Then go back and watch Dalton. He's not a great actor but his Bond was interesting.

Moore is a hack and Lazenby sucked too

>Quantum of Solace (fuck off contrarian memers you KNOW it's shit)

It's not. Plebs just can't follow the plot because it requires listening to what the characters are saying and fill in the blanks, a novel concept for a Bond movie.

Die Another Day is top 10 material. Its having fun with everything Bond movies ever were. Durrr it's not serious waaah You're like those fedoras liking Marvel movies because they're "serious kino"

If you want to talk utter shit Bonds, talk Live and Let Die

>Dalton
>not a great actor
opinion discarded

Timothy Dalton is classically trained and acclaimed on stage and screen, he's an actor's actor

You have it backwards, DAD is shit while LALD is top 10 material

>dat Solitaire
>dem Henchmen
I also love how it was very reminiscent of Dr. No, you can tell they were going for that kind of flavor with it being Moore's first film. There are a few problems like the chase scene that's about twice as long as it should be and the buzzsaw watch coming out of nowhere, but for the most part it's fucking great

This was the best out of all the Brosnan Bond films.

I thought it was pretty weak, but Scaramanga was the shit

>bond girls laughing.jpg

A good villain wasted in a terrible movie

at least GoldenEye and Skyfall recycle the "Evil James Bond" archtype and put them in much better films

Dumbass

>Skyfall that low
Fucking idiot

...

why does everyone forget never say never again
its never included on any rankings or talked about
it wasn't bad

It's not an "official" E-On productions Bond movie.

For the most part this is a ranking I can agree with. Though I would include both The Living Daylights & Goldeneye in 007 tier.

Come on, I know it's a meme to hate Skyfall but it's a decent movie

It's unofficial and just a remake of a better movie. Also no one wants Grandpa Bond, dealing with Geriatric Roger Moore in his last two films is bad enough

as far as the nuBond films go it's the best, but they're all shit

It was just the ending that was poor, the majority of the start of the film was actually rivaling that of GoldenEye with also a pretty strong opening credits song, that looked really good as well as being the first time tying into the story.

It was the poor cgi near the end that turned it into shit is what most people agree as. It was to be the last campy bond film, and frankly was the most successful bond film in a decade.

tomorrow never dies was so much worse for being so mediocre and trying to be so 'clever' with having a Steve Jobs like villain. It felt like someone else mimicking a Bond movie.

But since GoldenEye the movies had nowhere to go but down, and just kept getting dumber and dumber, so I don't shit on DAD but just see it as the final shit in a long row of turds.

You have wasted your life, let me say. only 24, did you nail it, and Living Daylights is a great movie, but hardly the best.

If I were you I'd watch them again.

This still makes more sense then that other guys list, and I can understand your reasoning a lot easier.

no pictures because he's banned for spamming that shit, because frankly a) it's a forced meme b) no one understands it c) they're not even laughing.

Skyfall was one of the best Bond films but I saw it more as the end of Craig Trilogy.

Spot on list. Timothy Dalton is unquestionably #1. Living Daylights is best Bond movie and License to Kill is top 5.

Lazenby a shit and people should stop defending OHMSS.

>people should stop having opinions different from mine
OHMSS is arguably the best film in the series

Hey at least they're different. And as much as I like Skyfall, Casino Royals is leagues ahead of it.

>tomorrow never dies was so much worse for being so mediocre and trying to be so 'clever' with having a Steve Jobs like villain.

You mean Rupert Murdoch, right?

>It was just the ending that was poor, the majority of the start of the film was actually rivaling that of GoldenEye with also a pretty strong opening credits song, that looked really good as well as being the first time tying into the story.
Wait, there are people who like that godawful Madonna song? The fuck?

Anyone who uses the term virtue signalling in this context is using it wrong, because by its own definition its use is virtue signalling.

Agreed, these are the men that "have no taste and just regurgitate what others say to fit in".

I mean the real debate is if Quantum of Solace was actually as bad as people say.

She wasn't a bimbo too, so it was best of both worlds. What a twist!

>Quantum of Solace (fuck off contrarian memers you KNOW it's shit)

It's plot was probably the most realistic one to date, and was the first time a Bond movie went seamlessly from one movie into the next. I think it was a just jarring for most Bond fans to see so much consistency between films and didn't show the main bond villain die.

It actually fills out Craig to have a great Trilogy and Spectre probably should never of happened but as who Blofeld was I think we can all assume that movie was just a money run, after doing the most justice to Bond movie since GoldenEye.

QoS was my favorite movie to watch after seeing Casino Royale and really went down okay. If anything it's a well rounded film that just isn't as high octane but still has some AMAZING scenes and at the heart of it feels like a Bond movie without just being 'more of the same' like almost every single one of Brosnans films.

Laughable yet still good

yeah, suck it plebs.
Daltons movies were almost movie versions of TV shows at that time and the quality of writing were terrible, is what I blame.

Dalton himself was fabulous and even in the shitty plots like dealing with drug cartels in miami still made the movies worth it.

It is a shame because Living Daylights was more on his caliber, but View to a Kill just .... I dunno they're more signs of the time.

It's a mixed bag of nuts. It seems like with some polishing it could have been a truly amazing film. Nothing was truly wrong with it, but compared to Moonraker and Living Daylights, it scope just seems to come up short.

QoS had one big problem. Whether it's good or not depends on your tolerance of shaky cam. It's really terrible and ruins a great movie.

>Villain is head of a South American drug cartel
>hurr durr it's Miami Vice
I hate that criticism. The writing in his films was fine, certainly better than garbage screenplays like QoS and Spectre

This is true, and I always loved it unique style. It's almost not even a Bond film, but yet you can't really say it's not. It has everything there, just in such a different way.

Like there's no dramatic death for Green. Just a moment you get to see Bond NOT react to hearing he drank the motor oil. It's so anti-climactic but that just push Bond more into a real world then try to drag us into '007 world'

Yes. 100% worth doing. They are pretty much the yardstick of movies. I saw a documentary on the bond theme songs and it pretty much is the yardstick of music over the ages. It really is a unique series.

Dalton had some shitty scripts and Lazenby had an amazing script. Dalton was a good actor, and Lazenby was a terrible actor. I think they're examples of what the script does for the actors.

>View to a Kill
Huahuahuea

i'd be fucking smug there too

Thank you. It's true. He shined through even the worse and made bad movies better. Don't ever think that Bond actors are not picked as the best that everyone wants to be and would drop everything for. This is a role that they could get literally anyone for.

>Die Another Day is top 10 material.
WOAH WOAH WOAH, reel it in.

Live and Let Die might have been shit, but DAD was the career endingly bad.

>GoldenEye was medicore

let me say that when GoldenEye came out it was at a time of cinematic revolution. It was a mix between best of practical effects, with also the biggest budgets. Soon after CGI came in and then... welll....

youtube.com/watch?v=6w6FV8P7HXg

this killed the series until Craig, and is probably the reason why Craig bond was so 'realistic'

This scene alone changed the course of the series.

It is a Classic, and you cannot really debate it. It's grand, it's dramatic, it's actually filmed well, and everything else, but ... oh shit is there just some really campy moments...

It's so fucking good though. I mean the concepts of a master gunslinger vs. bond, ONE ON ONE, on a island base, with a satellite weapon, the list isn't even of tropes, but really started a lot of the tropes of bond movies.

Even though I absolutely hated You Only Live Twice, the ending battle is so fucking good it practically redeems the entire film

Now Bond will be dark and gritty, it's inevitable. They get Nolan to make it.

Y/N

This is true, it's too bad Lazenby isn't the best Bond actor. It would have been enjoyable to see Dalton do that movie.

Script wise though, it is definitely the inspirations for Casino Royale, and for Vespas death, since that's what makes OHMSS stand out so much. I am not surprised with Spectre being so shit, but the plot going that direction was just poorly done.

OHMSS is why I love Craig's Bond trilogy.

I wholly disagree on his movies being bad. Both TLD and LTK are top-tier Bond, Dalton makes what are already good movies into great ones

>Now Bond will be dark and gritty
>Now

first goddamn movie of Craig's career started with a black and white sequence and involved a brutal bathroom fight and Bond shooting an unarmed man.

Fun Fact, you can thank Austin powers

>How much of 'Skyfall' was a reaction to 'Quantum of Solace' or 'Casino Royale'?

>I am very, very keen that you can't make films in a reactionary way. You can't do it! There has been a lot of talk, from the beginning from 'Casino' into 'Quantum' because everyone has gone, "Where's the 'Bondness'? Where's all the old stuff?" I was given this chance by Barbara and Michael, which is the first of the books, and the conceit is we began again, but I couldn't come in and pretend to be James Bond, because everyone knows Bond as Pierce or Roger or Timothy or Sean. I couldn't come in and go, "Hmm, Martini," or whatever. It's not who I am, and how I kind of approach things.

>The truth of it is that I always had this plan in my head is that we got to make them and begin them again and bring all that back in, but it had to happen the way it did. I can't see it happening any other way. We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers fucked us - I am a huge Mike Myers fan, so don't get me wrong - but he kind of fucked us; made it impossible to do the gags. What I am proudest of in Skyfall is the lightness of touch we've been able to bring to back into it but not lose the drama and the action.

Lazenby is underrated as Bond, not the best by any means but his take on the character is refreshing IMO. The emotional vulnerability he adds to the role works in the context of OHMSS, because much of it is a sweeping romance. Dalton really is the only other Bond actor who could have pulled it off, but anyway Lazenby a does fine job

It wasn't that bad, drops in overall quality when they get to Iceland. People always bitch about it because a movie made in early 2000's has bad cgi

It went well with the movie. As a Bond fan, let me say the disjointedness of the title card with the film is such a fucking pet peeve. I love how Craigs took it to another level, over and over again. At some point the title card music and scene just became a checklist of sorts instead of the pinnacle of the movie.

DAD actually pushed it too a new level. Tina Turners GoldenEye song was more of a call back to the great Goldfinger song, but Madonna at that time, is just how music was.

Bond movies usually reflect the era, rather then shape it. Luckily when Craig came out Bourne was in swing. What they did with the title card songs on the rest of the films (save spectre) was actually revolutionary. It wasn't until skyfall that they tied the opening scene with the title card as good as DAD.

It's such a small detail, but for so many movies, it should have been a point of pride for the directors.

They have huge budgets that were squandered so often.

I dunno what the fuck was going on.

No, just aston martin and jaguar

OH, okay, I understand. Yeah I don't have that issue, but I knew guys that can't evens stand spinning in a FPS game without feeling dizzy.

That makes sense.

I was extremely disappointed with Spectre. I didn't browse Cred Forums when it came out, but I just watched it last weekend.

>Dr. No - Fun Spy Fantasy that is dated as fuck
>From Russia with Love - Great spy thriller with a beautiful Bond girl, locations and scary villains
>Goldfinger - American Bond and that's not a knock at all. All around great.
>Thunderball - For most kids at the time this was their favorite, great locations, characters truly the cream of the crop of Bond formula even if the underwater scenes if impressive go on too long.
>You Only Live Twice - This is Dr. No silly, Connery tries less but the sets, setting and location make up for it.
>OHMSS - My favorite Bond film, Lazenby is James Bond to me, he looks like Bond, he fights like Bond and Diana Rigg is probably the best actress to play a Bond girl. The music, the locations, the themes, it's perfect even on a technical standpoint.
>Diamonds are Forever - This gets a lot of hate and undos a lot of what OHMSS achieved but as a stand-alone film its fun even if it looks tacky, Bond in Vegas has so much potential, some good fights and situations and a cool backstory and characters. It's tone is what holds it back.
>Live and Let Die - It's fun but not up to standards, Moore's first two Bond films aren't great but they're good vehicles. I enjoy this one just for the story and how un-PC it is by today's standards, saving a white girl from a black drug cartel wouldn't be done these days. The black characters are very vicious in this and is probably the only Blaxploitation Bond film so it's interesting on that front.
>The Man with the Golden Gun - It has the same problems as the previous installment, Scaramanga's good, memorable villains and the premise is alright but it gets kind of muddled.
>The Spy Who Loved Me - This is top tier Spy Fantasy, probably one of the best ever films of the series and genre.
>Moonraker - I think this is on par with the previous installment but some silly parts hold it back. I think this and Thunderball were the best formula for the series although they were really reaching in the whole space thing.

The thing is when each movie got more and more grandiose Daltons seem to get less... It's more just a critique of them being tone deaf to the style of Bond, and a pandering too much to styles of the time. That's something Bond movies do, but not to the lowest common denominator. When you had guys being eaten by sharks and shit, it was like kudos for taking a bond trope and bringing it into Miami Vice context, but then again it just lacked gravitas.

AND I FUCKING WANT TO LOVE WALKER TOO, IT'S THE MOST BITTER SWEET BOND MOVIE.

Honestly the script was just that bad

Unfortunately Brosnan's bond movies were all fairly mediocre, though he probably could have been considered one of the better ones

> Lazenby not included
JUST

I expected it to be great, but it's the only out of the Craig bunch I don't want to ever watch again. It put me off with bizarre choices so many times and ended up disjointed and silly while being gritty and realistic... it's just shit.

Personally it all goes tits up when blofeld stops being a shadowy figure and his motivation for creating a billion dollar spy network is because daddy didn't love him as much as Bond.

Dominic Greene from QoS at least had the balls to say enough is enough and actually try to kill Bond with his bare hands.

Bond was Dark and Gritty as a reaction to how campy Die Another Day was.

You can blame modern bond literally on the turd that is DAD.

Director commentary even saying how this was going to be the last campy/tropey bond movie and they wanted to 'go out with a bang'

>You Only Live Twice
>The most iconic Bond film
>Not in the top tier
You fucked up

>Spectre that low
I mean, it's terrible but not that BAD.

...

I blame that on the script more than Lazenby. Then again if it was Connery you know he wouldn't have cried in the movie and looked like a 'puffy' and wouldn't have allowed the scene to even turn into that. That guys was stubborn like an ass.

so yeah, it's Lazenby you can probably blame for such a vulnerable bond, which was how he was always written. The bravado movie Bond had I blame squarely on Connery being such a fucking prick.

Lazenby had a cuntishness to him as well, just off camera. He just to eat raw onions before his kissing scenes with Diana Rigg.

LOL

thank you for reminding me of that.

Worst Bond Opening EVER.

He shoots the bullet down the barrel.

Thank you 3D movies.

That was Diana Rigg

Oh ya, and the opening scene where he says "that would never happen to the other guy" were moments where you saw his shining personality come through. The dude was a ham for sure, just how he did most of the scenes seemed almost more like Pink Panther.

Tomb Raider remake when?

Enjoy your titless "swede" mongrel

Well it was the 50th Anneversary of the series, of course they're gonna suck themselves off a little.

it's already happening and pic related is supposed to be Lara

They're obviously basing it on the reboot games, which are written by women and attempt to turn Miss Croft into a feminist icon by giving her a more "realistic" body and implying that she's a lesbian

The remakes are torture porn, at least the first one.

finally i am become a view to kill

Skyfall definitely has the best opening song of the Craig movies.

I think Casino Royale's is actually also really good conceptually and in design, but the execution has aged really poorly. The song itself is great, and the imagery was all gold, but it needs better graphics.

Quantum and Specter both had subpar openings, but each had a moment or two of genuine artistry-- they just failed to hang together properly.

that's just an attempt to make the franchise more gritty in other words "we want the Far Cry audience"

Tomb Raider 2013 is just Uncharted meets Far Cry and I didn't care too much for it but with Rise of the Tomb Raider they actually make it more about exploration and real tomb raiding and it's a great game. Playing it right now and loving it, though I still hate the new Lara

The villain was shit
>WUT IF THE BAD GUY WAS LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER BUT EVIL
What a trite concept

Even by the new standards this actress comes up short.

They also have her dress more conservatively. Gone are the short shorts and midriff, sexualizing her in this day and age would be disrespectful to women. God I just want the current cultural era to end already

>fun

she isn't bad and the voice actress is great, I just miss scantily-clad hourglass Lara

forgot pic

Ever since they rebooted the franchise for Legend she's become way too soft. She was a stone-cold bitch in the original games.

I was about 7 when this movie came out and my parents took me to see it. The sex scene with Halle Berry confused the shit out of me. For years afterwards I thought sex had something to do with diamonds in the girl's belly button. Fuck this movie.

.........what?

Fassbender Bond when!?

...

10/10 would read again

TND could have been a classic if it was well executed but instead it was camp as shit.

Goldeneye > TWINE > TND > DAD

>is actually a ching chong in disguise
fucking why? that face swapping concept was the stupidest thing ever. It wasn't even fun.

The Graphics is fine, it's quite a unique style and I can't say I've ever seen anything like it. It goes with the Casino theme, and frankly is something I always wanted to see. There's a name for that weird patterns they play with there.

If anything the way the guys die into card symbols might be poorly done, but it's not like they couldn't have done more, and chose to keep it that simple.

DAD is the reason why Bond movies are serious. They dun fucked up.

I approve.

It was totally pointless for the plot too except a way to get us that brilliant swordfight m

Oh, for sure, the design is great and the link with the Casino theme is phenomenal. When it first came out it blew me away and for a long time it was my favourite. But on rewatching it something just feels ever so slightly off, like the image needs to be somehow a little sharper or something. I feel like I want a remastered version.

It's true, but compared with all of the title cards and how phenomenally bad they are it has always been a thing that's straight up pissed me off about the series. They would have been better to just stop doing it but didn't know how to. I mean there's so many worse mistakes and dated intros that go with some GREAT movies.

>fuck up
The movie was great though.

>be black
>get oscar even though you can't act

>complaining about camp in a Bond movie

The best rendition of the Bond theme tho:

Ironically Die Another Day is campier than anything Austin ever mocked Bond for being.
