Is this really the worst Bond film?

This is by no means a great movie, but it's a guilty pleasure for me despite its incredible silliness.

I totally get what people don't like about this movie, but it's actually one of my favorite Bond films. It really checks all the classic Bond boxes. So much so it's almost more of an Austin Powers parody. The babes and the cars and the crazy villain lair and all that good stuff. Lots of action. This is definitely more of a Fast n Furious crazy adventure. I think the Craig films take themselves far too seriously.

It's kind of a throwback to the 70s Bonds, where the gadgets were absurd and the plot and action sequences campy.

CINEMATIC 007 -- David Zaritsky returns to explore the next theory...Is the last Bond movie of each Bond actor their worst? Next up is 'Die Another Day' with Pierce Brosnan. CAUTION! Opinions and fists will fly!

Moonraker was the worst Bond movie. I remember going to a theater to see it and fighting to stay awake.

Moonraker was so over the top and silly, it was just great fun. This movie is sort of like Moonraker with how over the top it is with the invisible car, villains changing their DNA, ice palaces, etc.

Its very silly especially some of the special effects. The Gustav Graves character is completely over the top, but I find this movie very entertaining, and Brosnan always delivers on the charisma to. My vote for worst Bond movie and worst Bond incidentally is On her Majesty's secret service with George Lazenby as Bond

It's a toss-up between this and Diamonds Are Forever.

Worst Bond film, hands down, is the original Casino Royale.

You’ve never heard of it? Then you are not qualified for this discussion.

[–] BillySlater (4241) 5 years ago

The original Casino Royale is not an official EON Bond film. If we are going with unofficial Bond movies, Never Say Never Again is pretty bad too.

"Never Say Never Again" is just pure garbage.
