Agreed that she is way better in the book, and definitely one of my least favorites from the films. Just not very likable IMO.
Yep,that’s a shame because she was one tough gal at the start ,actually probably until just before the crap oil rig ending.
Swann I like quite a lot, emotionally she is pretty neutral but I find that fitting for someone with her personal background and career choice. I do find her believable.
I don’t have any hate against Jinx either, but I find the frequent innuendoes cringingly crude for a Bond film (although nothing that Samantha Bond’s Moneypenny doesn’t come out with every time they meet) and unfortunately I dislike the CGI dive more than Pierce’s later pixel-imperfect action. I never feel she quite acts professionally enough for a fellow agent - I don’t believe she is Bond’s equal in the same way I do with Wei-Lin. She ends up low down my list not because I dislike her but simply by default because there is ‘something’ about the other women that I enjoy more.
Madeline has grown on me a bit as a character, even though I don't think she's an exciting presence. Seydoux is just a strong enough actress that she's able to balance something compelling even when the writing isn't helping her out all that much. She does lack some chemistry with Craig, and I'd argue she's the weakest of his tenure's Bond girls.
Jinx is absolutely unforgivable.
The story goes that Eon were deciding between Mia Hama who plays Kissy, and Akiko to be the Main (and only) Bond girl. After they decided on Akiko, Mie Hama threadend to kill herself and Lewis, that old softie, bought it and so they rewrote the Script to feature them both. Eon didn't complain as for them that simply meant Bond gets more bang for his buck.
That's why the transition between the two never made any sense and Akiko was killed off in a pointless fashion.
But that story alone puts Mie Hama last on that list for me. Like Forever (if true of course, but how would i know)
1. Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg)
2. Vesper Lynd (Eva Green)
3. Kara Milovy (Maryam d’Abo)
4. Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco)
5. Melina Havelock (Carole Bouquet)
6. Tatianna Romanova (Daniela Bianchi)
7. Honey Rider (Ursula Andress)
8. Tiffany Case (Jill St. John)
9. Octopussy (Maud Adams)
10. Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman)
Can I assume then, that you will NOT be celebrating Ms. Hama’s 76th birthday on Nov 20th? 😊 daikaiju.tv is actually streaming ten of her films on Saturday, November 16th.
Lol nah, let's just say i'm not her biggest fan :))
But let me know when Akiko Wakabayashi get's HER special and i'll be there :-bd
I checked some rankings and I was amused that someone had Severine on the bottom. Marlice is a beautiful woman BUT I absolutely dislike her look (hair, make-up, fingernails, smile) in the casino. She looked absolutely stunning in Shanghai and then the casino...noooooo!
Like Bond, i like her more without her beretta (and clothes).
I should probably make a list too, but i don't even know where to start. This is tough.

Stacey didn't have any lines. She just yells "JAAAAMES" in the entire movie, kinda boring. Besides, very fragile, kinda dumb. Gorgeous? Yes, but surely I would't stand a day with her.
Kara is also very fragile. That girl almost sabotaged the mission a dozen times. I love her artistic side, and the romantic frame that the producers created, but I felt that she's a teenager most of the time.
Jinx on the other hand is very mature, but I hated her lines at the movie. Miranda Frost was way better than her.

On the other hand, Tracy is my favorite one. Girl is a cornerstone on Bond movies, not only by marrying Bond, but also because is visible that she changes Bond in the movie. She's is fierce, independent, cult (and the only girl - at that time - that used sex to dump Bond).
At the end, she proved that Bond and her dad were both wrong about her -- she didn't needed a psychiatrist or a man to dominate her. She only needed someone to treat her well and fair. After years of a Bond-macho, she raises a tender Bond that no one expected to see.
Great observation @Marc_Ange_Drac0. One of the many pleasures of OHMSS is watching the transformation of Tracy.

3. Tracy Bond
I'll always have a crush on Natalya (my Mrs ribs me about it whenever we watch Goldeneye) but I loved that she was strong and capable, without out needing to shout about being Bond's equal
I know Paloma was basically an extended cameo, but I loved her character. Ana brought so much warmth and charm to the screen. Had she been in it longer, she'd have been one of my all time favourite Bond girls
My criteria:
* Acting - First and foremost
* Believability - Are they believable in the roles that they're playing?
* Character - How convincing and well written their characters are?
* Chemistry and relationship with Bond
(The looks doesn't matter)
