Best and Worst Bonds by Decade

Can I ask you, WHAT EXACTLY IS IT ABOUT ALL THE BROSNANS THAT EVERYONE HATES SO MUCH????? Please use specifics.

My thoughts exactly

I pretty much agree with this, except I'd say worst sixties bond was Thunderball and worst 70's being Moonraker.

Reason why I don't like Brosnan bond films is because he brought back too many memories of Roger Moore, the writing for the most part was of a poor standard and finally, if you look either side of Brosnan you'll see two actors trying to portray the man as a deadly efficient killer instead of a smarmy playboy.




"If they move......Kill 'em!"

Nice one! Right on the money!

I'm close to Advocatus - with two exceptions:

I'd rank Diamonds Are Forever the worst of the 1970s.

I'd say On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the strongest of all the Bonds - I was deeply moved by the relationship with Diana Rigg, easily the best of all the Bond Girls. Lazenby is sometimes a little awkward - but perhaps the very best at fistfights and the romance with Rigg is really great. I'd love to see more romance in Bond movies. Of course, they'd have to figure out a way to disentangle at the end of the films, because I agree with starting with a clean romantic slate at the beginning of each movie.

People really underrate several Roger Moore Bonds - the truth is that You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only are really excellent James Bond movies - extraordinary action scenes, genuinely exotic locations, interesting plots, great music, fine acting all around - and perhaps most of all it's VERY easy to genuinely like James Bond in these - there's a warmth to the movies that we don't see in the Dalton and Craig Bonds.

I am not against the Dalton-Craig tough Bonds in principle - but they're more pure, icey, hard - the Roger Moore Bonds really do give you a wonderful glow of warmth - and that's a great feeling after the movie. It's wrong to underestimate it - ot comes from just how warm/genuinely good a person Roger Moore is as this James Bond.

60s: from russia with love -- there were no bad bond films back then
70s: the spy who loved me -- diamonds are forever
80s: for your eyes only -- a view to a kill (the worst bond of them all)
90s: goldeneye -- The World Is Not Enough

60s: Dr. No, Thunderball

70s: The Spy Who Loved Me (naturally), The Man With the Golden Gun

80s: The License to Kill, A View to a Kill

90s: Tomorrow Never Dies, GoldenEye (there! I said it!)

00s: Casino Royale, Die Another Day

1960's:
Best: Thunderball
Worst: Doctor No(still great as this was the best decade for Bond)

1970's:
Best: Moonraker
Worst: Live And Let Die

1980's:
Best: The Living Daylights
Worst: A View to A Kill

1990's:
Best: Tomorrow Never Dies
Worst: The World Is Not Enough

2000's:
Best: Casino Royale
Worst: Quantum of Solace

60's: Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever
70's: Live and Let Die, Moonraker
80's: License to Kill, A View to A Kill
90's: Goldeneye, The World is Not Enough
00's: Quantum of Solace (just), Die Another Day.

It is my opinion that the worst 3 Bond films are Diamonds Are Forever, A View to a Kill, and Die Another Day. On Her Majesty's is simple...I will never think much of Lazenby as a Bond, so I don't really rate it...apart from that, it ranges from one's i can happily watch (Moonraker) to simply great films (From Russia, Spy Who Loved Me).

In my opinion Casino Royale and Quantum are both different but both excellent films.
