>only average
opinion discarded

I think it's underrated and fun but it doesn't feel like a 'Bond' movie and isn't that high in quality, sorry. Dalton did deserve a better shake.

Skyfall is way too high on that list

> Excellent Tier
> Thunderball
Literally the dullest Bond film

> Good Tier
> The Spy Who Loved Me
Belongs in Excellent Tier

> Average Tier
> Quantum of Solace
Belongs with Die Another Day and A View To A Kill

> Bad Tier
> For Your Eyes Only
Harsh

I'm giving it leniency for the cinematography alone. Script blew

Thunderball could be one tier lower, it did need a tighter edit. I could budge on QoS but stand by my other two unofficial opinions.

I love it and I think it is very Bondian, certainly moreso than Casino Royale or Skyfall at least in terms of tone.

The plot might superficially resemble a long episode of Miami Vice but LTK has it all, adventure, girls, gadgets, humor, one-liners, and Q finally gets to assist Bond in the field in Desmond Llewelyn's best turn in the role. Also Sanchez is a fantastic villain.

It's more than underrated it's one one of the top 5 best films in the series

>Literally the dullest Bond film
no, that would be The Man with the Golden Gun

Golden Gun is a cringe-fest that can at times be amusing depending on your tolerance level. Thunderball is simply dull.

All I know is Casino Royal is the best one. Only morons will disagree.

daily reminder that evangelion ripped off this song

also Goldfinger is #1

Golden Gun's entertainment doesn't come from seriousness and adherence to tone, that's for sure. Pour an old-fashioned or two if you're looking to get any enjoyment out of it.

What did they mean by this?

I dunno, the few action sequences in Golden Gun fall pretty flat and most of the movie is just Sir Roger trying be macho like Connery

With Thunderball I think it depends on your tolerance for underwater sequences, which I can understand someone finding them horribly monotonous. For me I just find it comfy, and I really like how the film Dr. No would have been with a massive budget

>the movie where Bond spends almost half of the running time as a prisoner on a Kentucky horse ranch
>#1
nah

The Craig movies after Quantum seem very uneven, like a mashup of Bourne and the goofy old Bond movies. The tone is all over the place.

I think they were responding to feedback from longtime fans that the first two Craig films were too different from the "goofy old Bond movies" so they tried to re-introduce more of the old formula with mixed results

Quantum could have been a lot, lot better (I really liked the premise of it) but it got shafted so hard by the writers strike and an incompetent art director that they had no choice but to dip into the feel-good nostalgia, which really is a fucking shame.

Craig Royale was SO fucking good, it blew my goddamn mind out of the goddamn water.

I didn't even like Daniel Craig because I was a contrarian little shit and I thought he couldn't possibly live up to Connery's image (grew up watching him on TCM late at night). Got dragged to the theatres with my brother, pouting and shiet the whole time, and when I came back out, I should've slapped myself in the face for being such a little bitch.

Casino Royale blew everything else out of the water. Pretty miffed at how it went from super-good with Casino Royale, to kinda-shitty with Quantum of Solace, and then it just kept getting further and further away from Casino Royale the more sequels they made.

Literally how the fuck?

funny, for me it was the exact opposite

I was a little skeptical of Daniel Craig as Bond but had high hopes for Casino Royale after seeing the trailers. I hated the movie and walked out of the theater thinking he was a horrible Bond who didn't live up anyone's image, not even Lazenby's

I haven't watched the film since and have no desire to, easily one of the most disappointing movie theater experiences of my life

I take it you never read the Fleming, Gardner, and Benson books?

...

We should have two Tier ranking systems. One which follows the movie formulas and the second where it's closer to the Fleming books.

That movie has one of my favorite bond girls, so I agree.

Not even meem'ing, but I don't get how people don't see he's not supposed to be the Bond we grew up with.

This is a darker Bond. A young adult, reckless and filled with good intentions, but angry at the bureaucracy and red-tape prevalent around spy work. He joined to make the world a better place, and instead, he's nothing more than a hired gun for the British government with a short half-life and less pay.

In this one, he's flawed and troubled, and Craig had a really good time portraying that, which is why the first 20 mins of Skyfall really did it for me, if anything else didn't. Also, I liked that it showed that he was really in over his head. He wasn't invincible, like Roger Moore and Sean Connery, where even when they DID get captured, it was all "oh, but they'll get out anyways, because they're the good guys"; this was a very dangerous reality we were seeing where acting cocky and hardcore nearly gets him killed until his partner pulls his ass out of the fire, yet he continues to do so anyway, because he just doesn't give a fuck.

THAT'S the kind of Bond I like. A real man who's in over his head, but he does what he does "for King and Country", regardless of love and money, versus some live-action action figure, always one step ahead of his dastardly villains, simply because he's written to be untouchable.

Craig was awesome as 007, and I'm really sad we didn't see more of what made him so great.

I have read a few of the Fleming novels, not the others though. Also it's obvious where you're going with this, because it's the same canned response I see when anyone says they don't like Craig or Casino Royale.

>it's good because it's more like the books
keep telling yourself that

It's fine if that that's the kind of Bond you like, but it isn't the kind of Bond I like. I want escapist fantasy, not a gritty thriller. If I did want a gritty thriller, there are plenty of movies I can choose from that exist outside of the Bond franchise. When I want a "Bond movie" my hand will reach for something like Goldfinger or The Spy Who Loved Me, never for something like Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace. Hell even Die Another Day gets more watches from me than anything with Craig

>From Russia With Love
>Not the best Bond film
plebs

>live and let die
>meh tier

Definitely one of my favorites, it's Dr. No combined with Truck Turner and it's a hell of a lot of fun. Great villain, henchmen, locales and the most beautiful female lead in any move ever.

Only flaws are the boat chase scene that needed to be cut in half and no Q.

Objective?

Chronological.

Don't forget one of the best deaths in movie history.

I'm certainly not the biggest Bond fan, but I don't dislike any of them. But I think Craig is the second best Bond, following from Connery. I thought Spectre was kind of weak, mostly the dumb fucking ending, but Skyfall is actually my favorite bond movie, it's just really nice to look at, and it's got a great opening. I've never watched any of the Roger Moore bond movies, my uncle hated them and it gave me a preemptive dislike and I've never been able to actually watch them

A lot of fans hate that part and think it's really dumb, but I agree it's great even if it is a bit goofy, or maybe because of that

Best aged Bond girl period.

I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by the Moore era if you go in with an open mind. While he lacks either Connery's machismo or Craig's ruggedness, he has an infectious likability about him that makes it easy to cheer him on. Moreso than any other Bond he acts like it's all a big vacation and waltzes through the story like winning was a foregone conclusion. Now that may or may not be to your tastes, but it's an interesting version of the character IMO.

Also Spy Who Loved Me is a must-watch regardless of who stars in it

...

I know it's/v/ but I wish this got a sequel so bad.

The last role he had not counting that shit direct to video release instead of being a cameo in Skyfall.

there should be a game like this for every Bond movie

Everything or Nothing and Blood Stone are really good OO7 video games.

the same thing happened with goldeneye

excellent bond film and then the ones following it just got worse and worse

this time skyfall tried to break the trend but it didnt work out in the end

TWINE > GoldenEye

fight me faggot

Everything or Nothing > Die Another Day
Blood Stone > Quantum of Solace

>There are people ITT RIGHT NOW who don't acknowledge the objective truth that OHMSS is the GOAT Bond flick

Plebeian filth.

2nd best after TSWLM

No.

Casino Royale is the best. Don't believe the Goldfinger meme.

Ps. Skyfall is trash compared to CR, remember that.

Top 5

1. Goldfinger
2. Casino Royale
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
4. Goldeneye
5. From Russia with Love

>moonraker >average
Plebby

Watched this last night, find a flaw.

milquetoast villains

The villain wasn't really that impressive, 10/10 line when Bond put him down though.
