Top 10 Worst James Bond Movies

The Top Ten
1 Die Another Day

OK. I'm actually upset that I have to do this.
OK then.

Die Another Day has to be one of the WORST action movies ever to be released in cinemas. The story is unbearably far-fetched, combining silly ideas with dark moments and the pure overabundance of characters and subplots to make for messy and inconsistent writing.
The settings in which the characters go to are completely overutilised and the CGI is appalling. The characters either have no brain like Jinx, are dumb pantoesque villains like Gustav Graves and Zaal, or have no purpose like pretty much all of the MI6 regulars.
The only recommendation I would have is that you had better believe what the Internet is saying about this movie. If you want to feel over two hours of pure torture and agony by simply watching this film, you be my guest. But heed my warning - it really is that bad.
And if you don't believe me, or what anyone else has said about this -

Ha. See it for yourself then.

Story: 1/10
Look of the Movie: 2/10
The Characters: 1/10

Grade: F (I bet that was pretty obvious considering I just absolutely blew my top)

2 Quantum of Solace

If you thought Timothy Dalton is scary as a revenge-driven Bond in 1989's License to Kill, Craig is worse in this one. This is the Bad Apple in an otherwise flawless line of cinematic gems that is the Current Craig Era. He's not Bond in this flick. He's essentially a British variation of Jason Bourne! No romance, no humor, no fun. At least License to Kill has a stronger villain and a happier ending (oh, a head exploded in that film. Oops). Quantum of Solace is the absolutely worse of the SERIOUS Bond entry. And arguable the most darkest.

I can't understand why Daniel Craig is so popular with audiences. Ok, so Casino Royale and Skyfall weren't that bad, but this one was just awful! Even the scene with the plane was so fake and it was released in 2008. The older films have an excuse for fake looking backgrounds etc. But this part looked ridiculous. The older movies pulled of these type scenes so much better! The theme song is unbearable to listen to. Its not the worst film in the world, but its certainly the worst Bond. Good luck trying to get engrossed in this one.

3 Moonraker

This is by far the worst bond movie I ever seen, it had some cool gadgets but it couldn't save the film. Drax was a boring as hell bond villain, chang should of been the main henchmen in this film I mean he was doing so well to pose a threat to bond until he got killed in the first quarter. The bond girl was unmemorable, and then they turn jaws into a good guy and was laughable. Ill give it some points, laser fight and gadgets that's about it also roger moore was good to.

The absolute rock bottom of the franchise. The action was a joke, acting was bad and don't even get me started on the so-called script. The Bond girls had zero appeal and less than zero chemistry with the rapidly aging Roger Moore. Ughh, this one was a stinkfest from front to back. A film we wish could be undone and forgotten about.

Boston Bond Fan

If people say this is the best Bond Film or if it's good, here's a piece of advice: DON'T BELIEVE THEM! This Bond film takes place in Outer Space, a very bad summary! Acting is very childish (meaning it's bad)! It wasted my time. Don't make it waste yours!

4 Octopussy

Easily my favorite Moore movie. With Live and Let Die, I think Moore had a really good handling on the role, but then there was pressure for him to be more like Connery.

Golden Gun tried to copy the classic elements of the earlier Connery films while playing up the comedic ones too. Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker tried to copy the fantasy epic of You Only Live Twice. For Your Eyes Only tried to copy the sparseness of From Russia With Love.

With Octopussy, FINALLY, Moore had a chance to be himself!

One the one hand it has a serious plot of diamond smuggling and nuclear disarmament. On the other hand... That Tarzan yell? Really? James Bond doing the Tarzan yell? The ape and clown costumes? (Gasp! ) What the hell kind of tone is this movie really wanted to make? At least we have a climax full of scantily-clad girls kicking ass! :D

I quite like the 3 above this, die another day could have been a great film the first third is damn good, moonraker is ok and quantum of solace is awesome. I would rather watch my face melt then see this again. How can you get worse than a view to a kill? Octopussy

5 Never Say Never Again

Although I don't agree with a few things on this list (one or two movies I thought were sort of decent), I definitely agree with the top 2 spots.

If you remake a bond remake a good one, like from Russia with love

This is an unofficial Bond film, it shouldn't be on here!

6 A View to a Kill

I only think this because Moore was too old for the role (58). All Brosnan films are good especially Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough. Dalton added a much needed hard side and what is From Russia with Love doing on this list?

Definitely the worst. It plays like Goldfinger in slow motion...and with a 58 year old man seducing a cardboard cut out. Christopher Walken is surprisingly dull, and Duran Duran's title song is awful.

The 80's were a bad period for the series in general.

7 Diamonds Are Forever

I just finished viewing a 007 marathon over the span of several weeks. This flick was by far the most boring. No real action. No real character development. The action was flat and disjointed. There was absolutely none of the "edge of your seat" tension. There were, disappointingly so, several junctures where I almost dozed off. I remain a Roger Moore as Bond fan; I enjoy his style as well as his quirkiness. I juts can't make the personal connection with Connery. As for the movie itself, it has not one scene which will stand out in my mind a month from now.

Filmed on the wrong side of the wrong four years, Connery has aged out of this role and no one has told him yet. And yet, despite the negativity, this film isn't boring, quite the contrary, it is the funniest Bond film in the series! With beautiful camp, laughable moon buggy chases, and even Sean Connery pretending to make out with himself in the corner, and to top it all off, you've got Blofeld in... I wont spoil it. This sad, sorry mess of a film is a joy to watch... Just make sure your well acquainted with the character first. That said, enjoy the ham.

8 The World Is Not Enough

Why does this get such a bad rap? I really like The World Is Not Enough.

No jokes, no good action scenes, no good

Worst? No. But on the bottom half of the ranking, unfortunately so.

I think it had some really good ideas but the directing just didn't make any of the scenes pop out at all.

9 Thunderball

The story was so fast you couldn't follow.

This film was 25% underwater. Enough said.

Who on earth put this here

10 Tomorrow Never Dies

I hate this list! This was a great entertaining bond film. Not only that, the top 3 on this list are wrong. I think the worst Bond movie ever is on her majesty's secret service. That one was boring and the ending sucked!

Two words... Jonathon Pryce. Rupert ' Murdoch dressed as Neo from The Matrix Trilogy. Some Bond villain.

Also, an overkill of gunfire and explosions? Who the f*** directed this? Michael Bay?

And finally the biggest sin this movie has is that it was release the EXACT SAME WEEKEND as a movie about a little boat. (Hint, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio) :(

Around 9th would be correct

The Contenders
11 On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Lazenby had the charisma of a couch and one facial expression. Stopped watching this a few times before I took the conscious effort to suffer through this. Oh yeah, Moonraker, Diamonds and Forever and Die Another Day suck too, but you can vote only once.

It got the 6 out of the ten best Bonds but the james bond actor in this movie sucked

I didn't even know who Bond was looking for until halfway through the movie.

12 The Man with the Golden Gun

This had a bad plot and, strip clubs? What happened to the old bond

I love bond but this is bad

Should be 6th or 7th

13 Licence to Kill

The reason Timothy daltons short tenure as bond came to a screeching halt and a bond film was not made for the next 6 years.

I is cold hearted it's bloody but I like for those reasons around 5 or 6 for me

Wooden acting from start to finish... Really the worst Bond ever

14 Live and Let Die

I hate this. Third worst. Only good actor is Jane Seymour and this makes die another days ending seem normal

This is my favorite bond movie! And why does a view to a kill get so much hate?

Um. Try saying this is the best bond film along with tomorrow never dies.

15 Casino Royale (1967)

It's not even an official movie, but it's definitely terrible. Jimmy Bond's motive is hilarious. Make all women beautiful?
Kill all men so he can get the girls?
My ribs have officially cracked and there's milk all over my shirt.

Goofy dumb comedy

16 Casino Royale (1954)
17 For Your Eyes Only

Bond descended into mediocrity and thus is mediocre throughout

Most boring Bond film hands down.

18 You Only Live Twice
19 Skyfall

List of flaws in Skyfall.

1. No gunbarrel.
2. There is no way Bond could have survived that fall.
3. Severed birds in the title sequences which somehow
Melt graves.
4. How come M lets Bond get away with failing the tests?
5. There's no Bond girl in this film and the person who's meant to be the Bond girl appears
For a maximum of ten minutes.
6. Silva seems to know the time of some random train in a random date in the future.
7. Silva seems to know M is in a hearing on that very same random day.
8. Silva's been planning this step-by-step for years and everything goes to plan, which is even
More ridiculous than the events which definitely had not been scheduled for years in the
Future, especially a Tube train.
9. Bond drives all the way to the Scottish Highlands without Silva and his men knowing.
10. Bond turns into Kevin McCallister.
11. A rat can't stand.
12. Why would M bequeath a bulldog ornament in her will?

Surely some people are changing their opinions?
No?
I give up.

20 Dr. No

It was the first and set the pace for certainly the Sean Connery Bond. All very entertaining for the 1960's

Amazing movie plus the original

Could be a lot more action in it.

21 Casino Royale

This film is seriously overrated, I was a massive bond fan until this rubbish came out, the second half of the film is so boring, he's supposed to be a spy not a gambler, and Daniel Craig is more wooden than groot

Fantastic film. Smart and edgy writing. Craig as Bond added a huge return to the awesome franchise.

This is an overrated bond movie. The whole Texas holdem scene was boring.

22 Spectre

What this is awesome! Better than Skyfall. Tis is James Bond's best movie.

Just tell me that you didn't see the twist coming...

Another solid bond movie!

23 From Russia With Love

A terrible movie. Hardly any action it was just a love story. BORING!. LAME ACTING 100% TOOT! GARBAGE! BOG STANDARD! RUBBISH!

Way too much romance, incredibly boring, no action, and incredibly overrated.

I agree with the comments made here.

24 Goldfinger

I think it's overrated
