Bond films that you love, but most others dislike?
IDK if there is a thread on this already if there is please send it my way.
Is there a James Bond film that you really love that most most fans and critics dislike? for example The World is not Enough, Moonraker, A View to a Kill, The man with golden gun, Die Another Day are Bond films that come to mind when asked what are the worst Bond films. Some of those films are bad, but I think that some of those films are great and I really love. 3 of those films are in my top 10 (TWINE, MR, AVTAK), two of those films are in my top 3 (TWINE, MR).
So I ask you the same question. Are there Bond films or is there a particular Bond film that you love, but most fans and critics dislike? Please comment I love to know

I've seen TWINE receive some hate on these boards - granted, that goes without saying for any Bond film - but I quite loved it. Excellent elongated PTS followed by a real good time throughout. My only stand-out complaint with the film was the finale between Bond and Renard - so underdone. Renard is invincible and can't feel a thing, yet it seems like Bond is thrashing him around the submarine with ease. I just think they should have dished out a real brutal hand to hand fight and received a better death than what he did in the final film.
Also, DAD. Do I love it? No. Do I enjoy the good parts of it? Yes. A good portion of the PTS - "Saved by the bell." kills it for me, at times, though - Cuba, the sword fight in the club, and some other miscellaneous bits were real enjoyable, and I try to place those moments over the horrendous moments we have all come to know and despise: some of those cringe worthy one-liners, the terrible CGI, and so on.
I just don't get the hate.
Quantum Of Solace
Tomorrow Never Dies
A View To Kill
The Man With The Golden Gun
Diamonds Are Forever
Live and Let Die
Goldeneye
I don't know it it be smart to see because for years people on the forums include me and some media whant another Goldeneye but it look like Goldeneye be rankt lower in people there list/not end in Top 5/hate it more. Something simalar i see happen with a not favorite Bond movie of me but loved by a lot of people Goldfinger. Whyle one element why i less like GF i like to see in one or two upcoming new Bond movies. I don't like the farm scene in GF where Sean Bond be to long alone and almoost do nothing, whyle i think the Bond of those days need to be alone. Of course also because GF look like he don't any thing about it whyle i think a more present villian not do that. A View To Kill get because of this more credit for me be the alone moment works better already.
Those days there is more love for OHMSS and above list isn't much changed with exeption GE, QOS enter the list and Die Another Day is gone. Whyle i think there is stil more hate for DAD, since my 2009 rank i also rank the movie lower. Whyle in 2003 i start with ranking it 4/20, but there happend a lot since then include that i only have seen it 5-6 times.
Never really viewed it as a stand alone movie, its blatantly the second half of a film split in two. Casino certainly works better as a stand alone movie.
Here I am!
See? And I even used a line to say it with!!!
;))

TND has always been popcorn munching fun for me. I understand that it isn't a milestone in storytelling or acting, but I've always thought TND featured Brosnan's best performance, a suitably hammy villain in Elliot Carver and some great action set pieces.
I don't know if its because it was the first Bond film I watched (with my gone grandfather, which adds a sentimental attachment to it), but it's 7th in my ranking.
I know it's not of the highest quality, nor the more entertaining, but I always enjoy it.
I don't like when the United States has anything to do with James Bond. It's not that I have anything against the setting, but I immediately think, "oh, they put it in the United States, because Bond movies sell well there". Takes me out of the movie.
:))
Seriously, GF, DAF & LTK were the only times I felt okay with it, other times (most notably AVTAK) I felt as you do.
No hate, ;) You guys are more powerful than us Canadians. We're just a bunch of tree people with polar bears, diamonds, and maple syrup.
And me!
Don't forget Harry Saltzman!
I also think OP, while not fantastic, is way better than it gets credit for. For me, it's Moore's third best after TSWLM and FYEO. Solid espionage plot and some great suspense (the whole "clown" thing isn't even faintly comedic - it's tense and scary).
I know it's awful, but for some wierd reason, I love this film.
