Worst Bond film (grouped together)

George Lazenby · Nov 2nd, 2003, 02:37 PM

This is just plain and simple, all the films, all together, which is the worst Bond film among the group.

I am not including Casino Royale, nor Never Say Never Again in this poll.

I've stated many times my dislike for Octopussy, finding the plot poorly executed, as well as disgust with the Tarzan yell and having Bond run around in a clown suit.

George Lazenby · Nov 2nd, 2003, 04:15 PM

Those are all low points in OP, but OP is one of the most, perhaps the most entertaining Bond film to me.

Moonraker. It has one good scene (Corinne's death) and very little else. The villain is not only not scary but also dumb (trying to kill Bond is a good way to divert MI6's attention before becoming a suspect, wouldn't you agree?); the main Bond girl is a ripoff of Anya Amasova without the chemistry or dramatic tension; and the less said about the "Space Marines", the better!

DAD was pointless and because of digitech was way too fake. I mean, come on. Bond does not surf on ice and I don't care what anyone says.

Plus I don't like Halle Berry very much.

George Lazenby · Nov 2nd, 2003, 11:41 PM

I don't like much about DAD, other than the scene where Bond enters the Hotel lobby in Hong Kong, and Rosamund Pike and Toby Stephens were pretty good, but other than that, it is lacking a lot that I expect from a Bond film, so I voted for DAD.

For the worst, I wouldn't say it like that. I would say for the least formulated and the least enjoyable bond film, it would have to be Moonraker.

They really took sillyness to another level. The Moore films always had a bit of fun injected in them, but not as silly as Moonraker. The music they play in the beginning as Jaws and Moore are skydiving off the airplane is pretty stupid and not needed.

I didn't enjoy the fact that Jaws finds thisa girl that he falls in love with. And towards the end when Jaws turns on Drax and talks is the worst thing they could have done.

I did like Holly Goodhead and the classic final scene with Bond and Goodhead, But its the least best from the rest no doubt.

I think OHMSS is the worst. It has it's good moments (the ending), but it's just too long, and just draaaaaaggggggggssssssss.

I dont Like YOLT, I have never liked this film, to me it just doesnt seem right, Connery was a bit off in this one, and the story just didnt appeal to me.

NDIB_0018 · Nov 3rd, 2003, 02:46 PM

I would say Tommorow Never Dies. Coz Bond is poor his Birds are poor and M's poor and
HE TURNS HIS BACK ON THE PPK.

I didn't know Bond had birds! What are they, canaries, parrots, cockatiels?

I did not like The Man with the Golden Gun when he went over the ramp flipped and it made that whistle sound.

Yeah, I didn't like YOLT either.

Love the theme though.

The6thBond · Nov 3rd, 2003, 08:29 PM

I loved the story for You Only Live Twice, I think its one of the most creative and original plots for Bond. I enjoyed Connery in You Only Live Twice. He still had what made him the best bond in that one. He lost it in Diamonds Are Forever, which was still a good bond film, but doesn't measure whatsoever to his other outings..

George Lazenby · Nov 3rd, 2003, 10:19 PM

YOLT was Connery's worst acting as Bond, and that includes NSNA.

YOLT isn't quite what Connery's earlier Bond films were, but it's still better than the films we get today.
