Now that the novelty wore off for me, I see it dropping in my rankings soon.
DAD I liked up until the Craig era came along. I'll have to give it a revisit soon.
Moonraker is the worst Bond film. Period. And it isn't even close.
I could begin and end with the ridiculous space fight, complete with laser beams. That alone is enough to make it the worst Bond film. But no, MR has to push the envelope even further, if that is possible. It has more smh moments than perhaps all other Bond films combined.
MR gives us the gondola on wheels. And if that's not enough...
We also get a double-taking pigeon. And if that's not enough...
We get a Jaws love story. And if that's not enough...
We get the five-note Close Encounters theme used for key pad entry. And if that's not enough...
We get the Magnificent Seven theme song, complete with Bond in Clint Eastwood drag. And if that is not enough...
We get Jaws surviving a free fall from about 10,000 feet, through a circus tent. And if that is not enough...
We get a group of "Amazon women" living on Drax's base.
No. You won't convince me that MR isn't the biggest embarrassment to the series. It is truly unwatchable after Corrine's death.
SP's not the worst in my estimation however. That's left for the usual suspects, namely AVTAK, DAD & the worst of all, TWINE.
And Bond films aren't that kind of animated or CGI. Yet.
Love MR, still #1 on my current ranking, though closely contested with TLD at the moment.
Least favorite is probably DAD, but I still thoroughly enjoy. It's becoming harder to dislike anything in any Bond film for me.
Personally i would probably go with AVTAK, with FYEO being a close second.
DAD is crap but at least you get the sense that everyone involved was trying. Not only is TMWTGG crap, it also feels so lazy and half arsed. The stretch of the film where we get the sumo "fight" (complete with Bond grabbing one of their arses with accompanying sound effect), followed by him being sentenced to death by karate school followed by Hip and his nieces arriving then leaving him behind for no reason just so we can get yet another boat chase has to be the worst section of any Bond film imo. Contrived, bad, lazy. The whole film feels weirdly cheap and flat. The solex plot is so boring and distracts from what should have been a brilliant cat and mouse story. Goodnight is terrible and even the usually amazing Roger Moore isn't great because of how badly Bond is written in this one. Christopher Lee is good, the car stunt is good, and Barry's score is good (it's his worst imo but even his worst is better than most others) but they don't elevate the film for me, they just feel wasted.
The most exciting premise of the series and they went and made that film. Unbelieveable.
That film knew exactly where to huuuuurt me.
Its the Bond film equivalent of watching paint dry. The warehouse raid is the only part that I like.
