Bond actors always end their run with their worst film

Interesting point.

Although I think A View to a Kill is actually better than Live and Let Die and Octopussy.

Spectre was so disappointing and boring.

I hope Craig doesn't do any more Bond films. He hasn't lived up to the initial promise of his performance in Casino Royale, there's no sense of danger about him now like there was in that film.

Dalton is suspiciously missing from your formula. Is it because LTK (while very flawed) is better than its predecessor?

No, Dalton's first film is clearly better than his second one but I left him out because judging on two films is quite unfair. License to Kill is not as bad as those other bad films of his colleagues.

I beg to differ. TLD is a bland pile of colorless discharge kept afloat by Dalton's performance and sexual magnetism (that vibrates the pantaloons of children ages 8 to 12). LTK is a silly mess masquerading as a gritty Bond film but at least it has a pulse.

Dalton was supposed to make another movie, but legal problems halted the production for several years, so he dropped out.

As dull as Spectre was, Quantum Of Solace makes it look like Skyfall in comparison.

There's nothing good about Spectre. While Quantum of Solace does some things right and other things wrong.
