What's the best Bond film? Please no pretentious pre-historical shit, it has to be actually entertaining

Die Another Day

Quantum is my favorite Craig film.

The source material is Z grade trash that was so ridden with plot holes that they directly poked fun at it in Goldfinger and have been writing original scripts while only using the titles of the original books.

Fine, i´ll play. Just because Connery is out of the table because of your whim i´ll go with either goldenEye or Die another day.

Brosnan is obviously better than Craig. That much is obvious so the options are the better plot (GoldenEye) or the best bond girl (Miranda Frost)

very accurate rankings there

Just for Olga Kurylenko's feet, it's boring otherwise and the action is all terribly choppy and blurry.

Good enough for Tolkien good enough for me

you watched 2.5 Bond movies?

>Brosnan is obviously better than Craig
depends on your test levels

Personally only saw the Pierce Brosnan stuff, and of that batch it's Goldeneye easily. Seems to have went downhill from there for that actor, leaning too far into Die Hard style of writing of "He should have died 50 times by now" territory after you set aside opposition who cannot aim.

Never picked up on the Craig stuff for whatever reason, which I hope is more grounded in comparison, and am more inclined to go watch the Sean Connery films instead if I had to dig into the vault.

OP, the modern Bond movies are far more pretentious than any of the old ones.

License to Kill.

I just threw that out in the air, but I watched from Goldeneye onwards.

I will never understand ratings that put goldeneye at the top, but die another day at the bottom. All Brosnan movies are very similar in tone and style.

I only got halfway through the last one since my TV exploded.

>boring
It has the tightest and quickest plot of all the Craig films, best quips, best action sequences if you can get over the shaky cam garbage (which is a legit criticism). Great women (not the best) It's just Bond being Bond and not giving a fuck.

But I can see why people don't like it. If Casino wasn;t so good Quantum would have been even worse.

Tolkien was an amateur writer himself.

I think Die Another Day crossed a "silliness" threshold. Goldeneye has a lot of over the top stuff, but it's not as transparently wacky as Die Another Day. There's a difference between "detonating a nuke in space to produce an EMP" and "solar death rays, invisible cars and battles in ice hotels".

Why can't they make something as good as Casino Royale with Craig? I even preferred QoS to Spectre. Although that might be because of the cutie

>Never picked up on the Craig stuff for whatever reason, which I hope is more grounded in comparison
It definitely is, but it only really works in Casino Royale. After that the writing is a fucking mess, and Skyfall is only watchable because Bardem carries the entire movie.
CR is so based. His gadgets are just a gun and a defib, and a third of the movie is a super tense game of poker.

Because of based Martin Campbell who directed both reboots Goldeneye and Casino Royale. He has a style.

Was Die Another Day the one with the ludicrous amphibious car section in an icey ocean?

It’s good but it’s not a James Bond film. It’s an action film with a guy who calls himself James Bond.

I'd say Olga and Gemma are probably the hottest of craigs, though as bond girls they're pretty underwhelming. I don't really recall the action being too shaky, the opening car chase had a bit too much quick cuts but overall it wasn't too bad

That was The Spy Who Loved Me, and it's one of the most kino instalments.

All the Bond films are worth watching at least once. There's something for everyone, whether it's serious or camp shit like DAD.

The one with the car that turned into a submarine was The Spy Who Loved me, which was much older. Die Another Day does feature bond driving his car through a collapsing ice hotel, if I recall correctly.

I never got how an invisible car is always brought up as going too far for bond

The Man With the Golden Gun

Attached: man_with_the_golden_gun_UKquad2.jpg (1800x1367, 1.59M)

I remember thinking GoldenEye was the hottest shit because of the video game and because it was my first Bond movie. There was a six year gap between License to Kill and GoldenEye, which I think is the biggest gap between Bond movies ever so it was a lot of people's first Bond. Prior to that people from the same generation had different first Bonds, but pretty much everyone from the late 80s/early 90s had GE as their first Bond. It's probably still the best Brosnan, but it's not really that good.

This is very accurate. Good ranking

Gemma was on screen for like 5 minutes total, of which 1 is of her stunt double covered in oil.

People bitch about the cuts in the opera house shootout. But to me it's just represents the chaos of getting in a shootout at a classy opera house would be.

The Spy Who Loved Me happens to be one of the best Bond films with one of the best Bond songs, opening credits and opening scene with the ski chase.

This was probably what I was remembering then. It was a Pierce film for sure and there was a real eye-rolling driving moment featuring lots of something along the lines of ice.

I'll give it a look, not seen any of the Moore films. On that note, anyone know how the bluray transfer of the older films were? Didn't realize how cheap those packs have gotten since their original release.

>It’s an action film with a guy who calls himself James Bond.
Wow sounds exactly like a James Bond film.

I got Goldeneye 64 for my 9th birthday and it helped make the movie a classic to me. Brosnan never topped it. TBS would do Bond marathons around Christmas and I’d watch the old ones that way.

I think if it was JUST that people would have given it a pass, but combined with everything else it was too much. Remember that fucking waterskiing scene?

Ice hotel is real though.

As well as Jaws of course.

>that kid who recorded on an old cassette tape the GoldenEye first half and listened to it at school then played the game at his place

There's pics of her in oil but maybe they didn't use any of those shots
Ah okay, I feel like when that movie gets brought up that scenes a 50/50 with whether they hate or like it

The Spy Who Loved Me always stroke me as a remake of You Only Live Twice, only with actual ships in place of space ships and an actual girl (pretty mind-boggling that the one set in Japan didn't have a proper waifu).

yeah I get that scene being goofy but thats just a 10 second bit of bad cgi when studios seemingly felt over confident as to what they could do with it
at least a miniature from what I remember

BEST Bond girl ever.

I'd swap Skyfall with Thunderball and then swap Tomorrow Never Dies with Spectre and would be satisfied. Possibly put Goldeneye in the 007 Tier.

Why did they have to shit on Jaws in Moonraker? It only happened at the very end, too. What a waste.

Are those fake tits?

None of those count. The first one was a colleague that got killed before they could have any chemistry, and the second one had like 3 lines in the entire movie, complete embarrassment.

Unironically Goldeneye, and aside from Casino Royale fuck Craig's era

Aki was waifu material, and it's still disappointing that they had to kill her off. She was better than the second Japanese girl imo.

In the 1960's? I doubt it.

this but I don't hate Craig they're just shitty movies

Are you for real or being sarcastic? I legit don't know Yea Forums's general opinion on Bond films

been rewatching the movies in order having seen most of them at one time or another, only like 8 in so far. on her majesty's secret service is by far the worst. shit that was a slog, way to many cuts during scenes and it goes on for like 2 1/2hrs.

I hate Craig and they are shitty movies

Yea Forums loves Goldeneye, but Yea Forums is very pleb.

I've only watched The World Is Not enough, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, ask me nothing.

Domino is a fantastic choice.

Casino Royale is very good. Quantum of Solace has retarded editing but is somewhat watchable. Skyfall isn't overly bad. Spectre had this one good scene...

She's probably the most beautiful of all Bond girls, I only wish that they gave her a bit more to do in the movie.

that movie was so forgettable I didn't remember Seydoux was in it

It's pretty much the most parroted opinion on bond on Yea Forums, just missing the part about OHMSS being your next favorite

Skyfall is kino and a return to form. The final scene is fantastic.

As far as "EntertainingBond films" go, it would probably have to be any of the ones from the Moore era. Regardless of how campy most of them are is beside the point. You'll never get bored watching them unlike the Craig films.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Starting from For Your Eyes Only, Moore movies got serious. They're more serious than any of the Brosnan ones, at least. Now all of his were very campy.

the main thing I didn't like about skyfall was that it was a weird mix of Bond still becoming Bond and then also him being considered outdated, then spectre pretty much went at that again

I liked it. Javier Bardem was great.

Except Octopussy...

Can't help but think he could have made an excellent Blofeld.

>More serious starting with For Your Eyes Only
That was the only one and then Octopussy (where Moore dresses up as a clown and yells like Tarzan) and A View to a Kill where he fucks Grace Jones.

A lot of the individual parts of Skyfall were great but the screenplay really made no sense and it tried too hard to be TDK.

Did the cg of the helicopters that end up capturing his character seem really bad?

The villain's master plan falling into place so perfectly when any little thing could throw off the timing was hard to ignore. Bond happens to catch up with him at the perfect time when he's up on the ladder and predicts the train crashing was just dumb.

>A View to a Kill where he fucks Grace Jones.
Well, it's supposed to be serious, it only fails because of the actors involved. I think Moore was older than the mother of his girlfriend from the movie.

Do you think his PSP is hacked and he's playing Chrono Trigger or somethin

GoldenEye was way more darker compared to the films that came after it, and it was Brosnan at his most 'seriousness' given the plot of the movie with his friend betraying him. The tone is a lot different compared to the next follow-ups. This was all mostly because the script was written when Timothy Dalton was still contracted as Bond.

>The villain's master plan falling into place so perfectly when any little thing could throw off the timing was hard to ignore.
You're not judging it like a Bond movie. They're full of things that are even more ridiculous. Only Skyfall doesn't get a pass because it's a part of the dull reboot.

Craig's Bond is an alcoholic tbqh.

Attached: james bond-6.png (1190x848, 144K)

Moore's depiction of Bond was at his most tough and ruthless in The Man With The Golden Gun. The following movies vary with elements of being more serious, but none are outright as grounded or dark in tone as a whole.

>GoldenEye was way more darker compared to the films that came after it
I disagree. The darkest thing that happens is when that ridiculous snu snu henchwoman shoots up the laboratory.

>I think Moore was older than the mother of his girlfriend from the movie.
He was, and I always said A View to a Kill would've been a much better film with Dalton making his debut. Would've been perfect for him.

It's too bad that The Man With the Golden Gun also had that fat amerimutt sheriff and the plane car.

It's also primarily due to the Craig movies not doing a great job at balancing the elements that make for fantastic Bond movies, besides CR. While Skyfall is arguably the best besides CR, there is definitely something off about it in terms of the script / plotting.

why does Bond drink Gordons vodka

From Russia With Love
Goldeneye
The Living Daylights
Casino Royale
Goldfinger

Her, Tracey, Domino, and Vesper are the best of the best.

Does he? I thought he drank Stolichnaya?

think it changes throughout but they name drop Gordons a few times, especially in Casino Royale when he orders his drink at the poker game and the others order the same drink

Bond was a bit of an autistic incel in this one. He attempted to dump her like five times.

Well, his long-time friend was turned into a snack for some sharks just the other day. She was too hot for him to completely ignore, at least.

The Living Daylights is the only one that’s not boomer-tier and actually based in current events instead of being crypto-capeshit.

How does Bardem carry the entire movie if he literally appears more then an hour in. Your opinion is shit

Statue Park when he meets Janus (Trevelyan), and the train where he sarcastically told Alec to "kill Natalya" because she meant nothing to him, or Trevelyan's death scene at the cradle. It had plenty of dark cold Bond moments. I'm not denying that there's some camp, but it's way more balanced compared to the rest of the films during Brosnan's era.

I own it and have only watched it once, years ago. Literally fell asleep to it

Attached: Casino Royale-3.webm (1242x520, 2.53M)

The villain's plot is so lame. He stages a coup in Bolivia because... he wants to become become a monopolist in plumbing. This is so lame. Blofeld would have fed him to piranhas.

Underrated

best bond flick imo. based cold war story.

That is actually a great list.

Necros' fight in the kitchen is awesome. That no-name agent came incredibly close to thwarting the entire master plan.

It would have been much better if there was less Cold War stuff and more focus on based Whitaker. Teaming up with terrorists is turbo cringe.

How many actors played multiple characters in the Bond series?
I believe the chick that played octopussy was a bond girl in another one, I think Golden Gun.
Then there was the CIA guy in the Brosnan ones who was a bad guy in I think License to Kill

For me, it was David Hedison.

No, The Living Daylights. And he was based.

Jesus fuck you are retarded. He was in control of their water supply. Which means basically in control of the whole country. Fucking brainlets.

Is Goldeneye overrated?

The Blofeld from Diamonds Are Forever was some random guy in Japan who got killed after 30 seconds on screen in You Only Live Twice.

Attached: james bond russia with love.webm (720x430, 2.94M)

no

Definitely. Still not bad though.

That's right. It confused me because I had seen him in the brosnan ones before seeing that one so I figured he was just undercover and was going to reveal himself as a good guy but then he died

It's the anti-Harry Potter in its embrace of wonder, beauty and excitement.

The dude that played Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever was also a contact for Bond in You Only Live Twice. The dude that gets stabbed in the back inside his house through the wall.

The black Leiter is the only one with a proper role.

Probably, thanks to the British N64 game of the same name. To be fair it was a fucking good game.

Second most overrated one after Casino Royale. Both made by the same director...

I always get a kick out of the Gypsie leader dude that Bond saves yelling, "Thank, you, thank you!" while not speaking a lick of English at any other point.

Jack Lord, but Hedison is a close second for me.

nightfire was better though I get it owes that to goldeneye's success.
When will they make a decent Bond game that isnt a Cod clone again?

Living daylights is highly underrated. I personally would have put it in top tier, but I can imagine it being too boring for some. Good list, will use it to find ones I haven t seen yet.

Brosnan never should have been Bond (fucking potaternigger). Dalton should have been bond in goldeneye with Brosnan as 006.

Living Daylights has a pretty dumb finale. Both in Afghanistan and with that arms dealer.

For me, it's Licence to Kill.
