Quantum of Solace is not bad
In my opinion Diamonds are forever was the worst

Quantum isn't really good, but at the very least Bond doesn't have superweapons like he had in Die Another Day. James bond films are always highly improbable to say the least, but DAD is plainly impossible.

I'd say that Moonraker was probably the worst Bond film that I have ever seen.

Listen, why do I keep having to see DC budgie-smuggling? Bond is so much more...

Moonraker, I agree that it will not on my top ten, but Diamonds Are Forever is in itself in not bad, except for certain scenes

Worst ones in my opinion were Moonraker (space - really?!), Quantum of Solace (disjointed and boring story, not a compelling villain,) , Die Another Day (Brosnan's Magnum Crapus), Diamonds are Forever (pure cornball) and Octopussy (a clown suit! I hated how they tried to shoehorn crappy comedy into the Moore films)

You are a fan though? Of ermm, Bond. James Bond? Some of the movies?
Since you are the O.P.

Come on guys, they're just films, fictional films. Just enjoy them for what they are - sure this one will go along the lines of all previous films -

Bond in some predicament, escapes, visits M, flirts with Moneypenny, annoys Q, travels world, kills some people, sneaks in somewhere with some pretty girl who he shouldn't really be with, kills some more people (with new gadget), saves her, she saves him, kill some more people whilst escaping/chasing someone, back to M, told off, does it again, insuniation of shagging girl, end theme, Bond will return in...

If you don't like them, don't watch them, but they are just for entertainment, not factual tours of baddies lairs or invisible cars.

No, they're not factual and they are formulaic, but some of them are still better than others. I think you have to go all the way back to Goldeneye (Sean Bean FTW) to find the last Bond film that really measured up.

Well we always have the original Casino Royale with David Niven



But yeah, counting only the serious Bond Movies (did I just write serious and Bond movie) Moonraker ranks down there with "For Her Thighs Only" and anything with Timothy Dalton.

On second thought, there have been some real skinkeros
