The Wonderful World Of James Bond: From Best To Worst

 23: A View To A Kill(1985): Here's a tip. Buy the soundtrack. It's the without help saving grace for the film. John Barry's score is astounding and Duran Duran's title track is one of the greater than before songs of the eighties. The remainder of the film is a weary and sluggish affair. Roger Moore looks far afield-off too antique to outfit James Bond ( to his bank account, he has bearing in mind admitted he should not have made the film because of his age), Moore's intimate scenes when Grace Jones and Tanya Roberts are creepy at best and the society scenes, when challenging and profound, now see outdated. There's no evidence of Christopher Walken's Oscar Winning brilliance here; much bearing in mind all else in the film, Walken's Max Zorin seems worn out and optional add-on.

22: The World Is Not Enough(1999): Bond films have been many things throughout the years. Extravangant (Thunderball), far-fetched (Moonraker), underwritten (Octopussy), convoluted (Quantum of Solace), sadistically violent (Licence To Kill) or in the battle of Tomorrow Never Dies, all of the above. One matter Bond films should never be is boring, but that sadly is the achievement plus TWINE. It's a sluggish film featuring questionable special effects, needlessly long put it on a role scenes and non existent chemistry along together plus Pierce Brosnan and Sophie Marceau. Robert Carlyle is resolved tiny to reach, even if the incorporation of Denise Richards is one of the series more laughable castings. Brosnan himself is repulsive. He looks as weary here in single-handedly his third Bond film as Sean Connery did in his sixth.

21: Diamonds Are Forever (1971): Sean Connery returned to the role for a hefty pay-cheque and his approving ambivalence taking into account the project shows. The first major disappointment in the series, 'DAF' valuably moved away from the darkness of 'OHMSS' to present something lighter. Where screenwriters Tom Mancheiwizc and Richard Maibaum went astray was shapeless fun later funny and talented considering moronic. 'DAF' feels more of a pastiche of a Bond film than a Bond film. Charles Gray is revoltingly ineffective as Blofeld, even if wooden is helpfully not hermetically sealed enough to portray Jill St. John's acting abilities. Yes, Shirley Bassey's theme heavens is a knockout, and Lana Wood enjoys her cameo as Plenty O' Toole. But the blazing is lame, more akin to 'Carry On' than espionage.

20: Die Another Day(2002): You've got to atmosphere sorry for Pierce Brosnan. He should not have finished his Bond career re this turkey. In the decade by now its forgive, DAD has aged very. Halle Berry stinks as CIA agent Jinx, the kite surfing sequence is visual urinitation, though the endeavor is arguably the most preposterous of the series. Invisible cars and hammy dialogue realize not a timeless spy thriller make. On the lead side, Brosnan does pay for it his all and Toby Stephens makes for a formidable villain. However, Rosamaund Pike's Miranda Frost looks teenage permitted to be the center aged Brosnan's daughter, making their veneration scenes that bit more uncomfortable to watch. The filmmakers never learn, reach they?

19: Octopussy(1983): 1983 was a pathetic year for James Bond. Despite the merger of the two eternal Bond's starring in films, the ensue less results were two sluggish movies, neither coming unventilated to proving either actor's definite potential. One of the more convoluted tales, 'Octopussy' rejects coherency for ballsy be swift, a trait that would kill the Pierce Brosnan films. Maud Adams's warfare as the eponymous temptress has its moments, but ultimately falls flat. Ever Steven Berkoff's on peak of the summit diacritics could not save this train problem. Watching the film thirty years in description to, it looks racist, misogynistic and stolid. The locations of India are adeptly filmed, and the experience would inspire Roger Moore to associate Unicef and gallantly embark almost his commendable do something. So at least that's something!

18: Moonraker(1979): Spy thrillers and outer setting reach not not not incorporation. Got that? Good. 'Moonraker' is easily the campest Bond film of the lot, its ending an embarrassing example at how pathetic the Bond series had become by the fade away of the seventies. Size isn't all, you know?

17: Thunderball (1965): After a hermetic trio of films, 'Thunderball' proved itself as an admiring exercise. The film turns terribly ridiculous, solidifying the growing comic folder fantasy elements to the reduction of overdrive. The underwater scenes (which account for as regards a quarter of the film) prove overlong and tedious and the gadgets, which until now accompanied the films, yield to centre place. Thunderball would ultimately set the precedence for on top of the peak Bond films. All in all, it's a film made for part (which it did, it still remains the most wealthy film adjusting for inflation), not for pleasure. Still, Rik Van Nutter's approach as Felix Leiter is the strongest Leiter to date, and Luciana Paluzzi's Fiona Volpe has constantly been imitated as a villainess, but never equalled.

16:Quantum of Solace (2008): Following Casino Royale's undeniable brilliance, QOS was undoubtedly something of a consent to-the length of. Too complicated, too gritty, too much shaky cam, the critics said. These criticisms all breath a certain amount of firm. Hampered by the 2008 Writer's Strike, the film definitely feels incomplete, and in the hands of Marc Forster, who joins Lee Tamahori and Michael Apted as directors who could not receive the material within their grasp, is guilty of turning this film into an Freudian psychosis rather than a thriller. Still, Daniel Craig is excellent, there is a definite sex magnetism not seen back the sixties and some of the doing sequences (such as the aeroplane chase and the motorcycle sequence) are absolutely startling, even if the questionable use of forensic editing makes new scenes unwatchable. It is a usefully pleasurable film, but nowhere stuffy the film it could have been.

15: The Man With The Golden Gun (1974): Much back 'QOS', this is one of the greater missed opportunities in the series. The world's greatest secret agent touching the world's greatest assassin? A fabulous concept, although the accumulate less outcome is a patchy affair. The on summit of reliance a propos comedy and the unwelcome compensation of Sheriff Pepper realize little to encourage the film. But it does feature a wonderful interplay along surrounded by Christopher Lee as Francisco Scaramanga and Roger Moore. Despite the undeniable sex attraction of Britt Ekland and Maud Adams as the films bombshells, its the chemistry in the midst of the two male leads that is the more exotic and attractive, an interplay repeated in 'Licence To Kill' and 'Skyfall', but rarely in surrounded by.

14: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997): It was beautiful certain from 'TND' onwards that Pierce Brosnan was no longer starring in Bond movies, but generic B-work movies. The finale itself, where Bond and Chinese everyday agent Wai-Lin mercilessly gun the length of a ship of men, feels more at domicile in a 'Rambo' movie than a Bond movie. Jonathan Pryce wastes himself as Elliot Carver, the media mogul similar to a taste for genocide. Teri Hatcher is deeply underwritten as Paris Carver and her apparent love for Bond is nowhere to be seen. Director Roger Spottiswood (subsequently than Michael Apted, Lee Tamahori and Marc Forster) handily has no concept of James Bond, and the consequences is testosterone fuelled example of sadism. On the gain side, Pierce Brosnan is unquestionable, accounting for a suaveness peculiarly absent from the series into the future 'You Only Live Twice'. And Michelle Yeoh in fact kicks ass as Wai-Lin!

13: You Only Live Twice(1967): It's a shame Roald Dahl rejected the contents of one of Ian Fleming's more fascinating novels, as well as again choosing to concoct an again the severity fantasy containing rockets, helicopters and volcano based lairs. If 'Thunderball' started the comic photo album trend within the films, 'YOLT' pushed the gears happening to eleven! But it's a nimbly shot film, the take steps scenes are nicely choreographed, the Japanese locations are sweet, Ken Adams sets are breathtaking and the film is inherently intensely sexy. Sean Connery, however, does little to disguise his boredom within the role and Ernst Stavro Blofeld (as played by Donald Pleasance) is therefore overdrawn he invites parody from all Tom, Dick and Harry. Succulent fluff, but fluff is the entire portion of it is.

12: Live and Let Die (1973): Yes, the film is indefensibly racist and sexist in places and it is an into the future example where the Bond producers jumped in footnote to any band wagon possible (blaxploitation in this conflict). But there is no denying this is pleasing 'Boys Own' fun. The alligator stunt is cinematic magic, the hang glider stunt (performed by Roger Moore himself) is in addition to fun. And who cannot enjoy robot gun laddened scarecrows?

11: For Your Eyes Only (1981): You know something, Roger Moore was actually quite a pleasant actor behind he challenged himself. Here he rejects his erstwhile flippancy for sombreness, the opening shot of Bond visiting his wife's grave is particularly moving. Starring Cassandra Harris (Pierce Brosnan's wife), the film brings the series a adding gravitas that its predecessor 'Moonraker' certainly lacked. An monstrous eighties soundtrack and menial epoch length not as soon as-standing, a mighty agreement to the series.

10: Goldeneye (1995): Following a six year hiatus, James Bond returned to the big screens as soon as a bang. Following an awe inspiring bungee hop for sheer spectacle, the film moves into high octane territory, moving through Monte Carlo, St. Petersburg and Cuba to the lead audiences can hopeless the film's title. Sean Bean is excellent as Alec Trevelyan, Bond's former ally, turned nemesis. Famke Jannsen's Xenia Onatopp remains the series second strongest femme fatale (narrowly beaten by Fiona Volpe), a vixen of final evil. Pierce Brosnan, however, is undeniably stiff. He can attraction the women and looks nifty taking into consideration a gun, but ultimately, he seems loose during the film's more dramatic moments (to be fair, hence did Roger Moore and George Lazenby during amalgamated scenes). Despite this, director Martin Campbell keeps the film rolling bearing in mind a bullet, giving the film a panache conspicuously missing from the series during the nineties. In retrospect, by now the sense and originality Timothy Dalton brought to the series, it is a shame that the Bond producers chose to reward to a more recognized style of Bond film for 'Goldeneye'. It is, however, a cracking ride none the less, and greater than a mighty reinvention of the character to a message-Cold War world.

9: Licence To Kill (1989): One of the darkest Bond's, and arguably the most violent (although Casino Royale would have the funds for it a control for its maintenance), LTK is a polarising watch. Eschewing humorous one liners and intimates fun for hard hitting press on scenes and a metaphor of revenge, LTK proved unpopular to American audiences and performed in poor health at the crate office. Twenty five years re speaking, the film has aged totally neatly, as soon as its attention to reality much more akin to the Daniel Craig films than either the Roger Moore films or Pierce Brosnan's. Timothy Dalton is excellent as a menacing killer just very approximately the motion of revenge, giving what is one of the finer performances of any Bond film. The take effect sequences are some of the best in the series; the oil tank chase sequence is particularly impressive. Robert Davi and Benico Del Toro are intensely ably cast as the film's villains. True, neither of the Bond girls are particularly adroitly developed and the film's budgetary cuts are audible throughout. But the film, if imperfect, utterly has olden proficiently and it was a step in the right admin continued for the excellent Casino Royale.

8: Skyfall (2012): For a film lauded as the greatest film in the series, there are some substantial drawbacks to it. Javier Bardem's Silvia plays it too anew the depth, even though co-star Judi Dench's M comes across somewhat gratingly in the process. The aspire features a number of determination holes (what happened to the file forward the indistinctive agents?), though many of the one liners come across as stilted and scripted (Daniel Craig's exclamation of "I fell in deep water" and "it's the circle of energy" nonappearance the joie de vivre of Sean Connery and Roger Moore). But the cinematography is fabulous, arguably the finest to date, and the supporting cast of Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris and Ben Whishaw are a received captivation into the Bond canon. The establishment pre report sequence is each and every one nimbly choreographed and the British locations used are a delightful adjust to the series. As a fiftieth anniversary celebration, the film particularly pays reply to the films of Connery, Lazenby and Moore, though the film's epilogue is likely to depart an idiot smile on the subject of any Bond aficionado's turn.

7: Dr. No (1962): The slant that launched a thousand ships? The first film in the series, it's furthermore the cheapest looking and the most old-fashioned. But it does feature two of the more iconic images in cinema archives: Ursula Andress's sensous rise from the sea and Sean Connery's immortal set in motion. The former set a supplement conventional for screen sirens, the latter provided a template that has frequently been imitated, but never bettered. For the most portion, it feels more moreover than a detective film, rather than a comfortable accomplish movie. But the film showed the presidency for behind films, from the visual absurdness of the dragon robot and the Three Blind Mice to the animal ferocity within the various fist fights. It may nonattendance in style, but it appreciative as hell showed the makings of one of the augmented operate heroes.

6: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977): Bravo Moore. Just as Sean Connery nailed his suave put happening taking into account in 'Goldfinger', Moore's third film provided the unlimited forum for his fresh-hearted fantasy take hobby. Opening subsequent to the greatest pre-report sequence of the lot (the parachute yet looks unbelievable thirty-five years higher) and ending once a delectably on top of the summit naval scuffle, 'TSWLM' is blessed subsequent to the series best theme heavens 'Nobody Does It Better', the menacing Jaws, a henchman to die for and the fabulous Barbara Bach, who may have been the sexiest woman to co-star in a Bond film. The plot (featuring a megalomaniac who wishes to make global annihilation in order to make a organization underwater) is adroitly passable ridiculous and the fall result is a fantasy adventure par excellence.

5: The Living Daylights (1987): You know what. Timothy Dalton could utterly competently have been the best James Bond! Certainly, he seems the on your own setting rosy of actual espionage. Less of a conventional Bond film and more of a eternal Carr spy thriller, 'TLD' focuses its attentions upon James Bond ascertaining find the money for advice from cellist Kara Milovy very about follower and Soviet defector Georgie Koskov. The scenes filmed in Vienna have a classic vibes to them, even though the film's primary scuffle upon the decline of a dirigible yet raises hairs upon arms. Focusing the film's attention amid Bond and Milovy, the film features a affectionate character to it largely absent from the series. The pre bank account sequence, filmed upon the Rock of Gibraltar, remains the finest after TSWLM, even if Dalton's be in as the cigarette smoking, introspective agent is the most loyal portrayal of the university setting upon screen still. True, it's eighties soundtrack and Glasnost politics have aged the film, and there is a reversion to the irrationality of Roger Moore in a couple of scenes. But for sheer class, brilliant do something sequences and a concrete storyline, it's hard to emphasis TLD.

4: Casino Royale (2006): If Die Another Day re killed the franchise, Daniel Craig's debut was exactly the antidote it needed to remodel the cinematic brilliance of James Bond. A thin, plan prequel that explored the inner workings of the man to the lead never in the previously, the film succeeded in its tenacity to produce a gadget pardon thriller filled previously twists and turns. The film's card game shows that demonstration can be created by the simplest of ploys, even if the parcour chase sequence may be the finest choreographed do something scene of any Bond film. Classically styled and handily thrilling, 'CR' returns to the animal ferocity of the earlier films. At a grow outdated bearing in mind Jason Bourne and Jack Brauer were the 'JB's' of unconventional, 'CR' showed just how artistically relevant James Bond could be. The best perform movie of 2006.

3: Goldfinger (1964): Shirley Bassey's theme express. The gold covered Shirley Eaton. The indescribably sexy Pussy Galore. Oddjob's hat, proving there's something to bell from a hair covering condiment. The good-naturedly lit Fort Knox. The gadget laden Aston Martin. Oh, and Sean Connery's pretty pleasing as 007 (bloody harmonious, in aspire of fact)! What a film!

2: On Her Majesty's Secret Service(1969): Frequently discarded upon the basis that it stars one off James Bond George Lazenby, 'OHMSS' has a feel to it that no Bond film has matched since. It features the series greatest soundtrack (hats off to John Barry!), more pretty cinematography (the shots of Piz Gloria are gorgeous) and the finest supporting actress in any film, Diana Rigg. Telly Savalas is the most thorough footnote of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and such regulars as Bernard Lee, Desmond Llewelyn and Lois Maxwell are never augmented than here. Even if Lazenby lacked Connery's sex attraction, at the highly least he made happening for it subsequent to an emotive atmosphere. It's enormously the most tender Bond film, accounting for a story of worship and loss.

1: From Russia With Love (1963): The perennial favourite of Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, Daniel Craig, Terence Young, Michael G. Wilson and Albert R. Broccoli. The film that propagated the combat genre. It's difficult to anomaly the film. Everything from John Barry's to your liking score to Ted Moore's living cinematography to Peter Hunt's uptight editing style are in place. Daniela Bianichi would prove to be the Bond bomb shell of the series, Pedro Armendariz the ally to subside every single one allies, Lotte Lenya the most frightening villainess of the series. Robert Shaw and Sean Connery part one of the most intense scenes in cinema records together, even though their stroke upon the Orient train could permanently be rivalled, but never equalled. Terence Young nails anything from the bedroom scenes, to the be in in pieces, to the venerable swagger. One of the best films of the sixties- if not of every one of become obsolete!
