THE James Bond The franchise is remarkably coherent, because there are few entries in the series which could be described as “inaccessible”. Although not all the Bond movies reach the level of excellence of Casino Royale Or Riflethe franchise has never managed to have a complete disaster like Skywalker climb in the Star Wars series, Batman and Robin for DC adaptations, or Halloween: Resurrection in the Halloween franchise. However, there are generally quality drops in each series of Bond films, because the series must update continuously to stay fresh. Each actor as a leap has had at least one film that does not represent their best job.
George Lazenby Perhaps is the only actor of Bond to have an impeccable history, because he has never played only in a film 007, On the secret services of His Majestywhich is considered a masterpiece. Quality fluctuations are part of the reason why the Bond franchise has remained so pleasant after so long, even if there are still films that fans will want to jump when they come back the whole series. Even if it will be exciting to see who plays Bond then, there is no guarantee that each film on Amazon and MGM will be excellent. Here are the worst bond movies of each actor.

“Diamonds are forever” (1971)
With Sean Connery
Diamonds are forever was Sean ConneryBack to the Bond franchiseas despite his retirement from the role after You only live twiceHe decided to join the series after the backlash On the secret services of His Majesty. While it was clearly intended to be a return to a more “classic” link, which did not include some of the darkest components that had done On the secret services of His Majesty so subversive, Diamonds are forever ended up feeling very repetitive and presented some of the worst romantic relationships of Bond. Although it is not fair to criticize many liaison films for their representation of gender roles, as they must be considered in the context, the regressive treatment of women Diamonds are forever I felt rude and sexist, even in 1971.
Diamonds are forever I had the impression that it disturbed the natural flow of the series, as You only live twice had offered a satisfactory conclusion to the Arc de Connery as Bond, as he concluded with the devastation of a spectrum base in Japan. Diamonds are forever Could have been used to introduce a new threat, but instead, she regressed the plot for another spectrum plot that undermines the challenges of previous films. Diamonds are forever did not approach Connery’s advanced age either; At least when Connery returned to the film Non-Eon Never In 1983, Irvin KershnerThe film approached that he was an older and graying character.

“A view to a kill” (1985)
With Roger Moore
A view of a killing was the Last connection film in which Roger Moore played inAnd proved that he had more than exceeded his welcome as a character. Although some have considered that Moore’s more comical approach to the character does not respect the darker tone of Ian FlemingSource equipment, it is easy to forget that it appeared in Live and let die And The spy that loved mewhich are two of the most anchored and most intense films of all the franchise. However, Moore’s films have gradually went more stupid as you go, and A view of a killing felt fundamentally as a farce that would not feel in its place in the Austin Powers franchise.
The best part of A view of a killing Does Christopher Walkenreplaced David Bowie To play the obsessive villain Max Zorin, who planned to destroy the American economy by launching an attack on Silicon Valley. While Walken seemed to understand that chewing the landscape was the best way to make the film entertaining, the action is rather disappointing, and the film goes for long stretches unrelated by making Spycraft. There is not necessarily nothing wrong with an older actor playing the link, because the age of the character has always been somewhat ambiguous, but Moore was 57 years old at the time A view of a killing was released and no longer felt like a credible 007.

“The living daylights” (1987)
With Timothy Dalton
Living lights was the first link film that featured Timothy Dalton,, which, unfortunately, could only appear in two entries of the series before the franchise took an unprecedented interruption of six years. Given the brevity of its race, the fact that Living lights is considered the “worst” of his films is only because License to kill is a much superior episode that understood what made Dalton was the best to play a newer version of the character. Dalton is a fairly intense actor who has been able to reflect the more cynical and unforgiving qualities that were present in the source of Fleming, which contrasted him strongly with what Moore had done. Although the films were not so financially successful at the time, they were in many ways Casino Royale would become.
Living lights can often feel like a film that has been written with Moore in mindAs despite the fact that he has a more realistic villain and an anchored political perspective, he also has some of the bloody spying shells and cheeky humor which does not entirely correspond to what Dalton has brought to the character. License to kill It was much better because he told a story of direct revenge where Bond had his role in MI6 revoke, and was forced to get rid of himself without help or gadgets to help him. Nevertheless, there is a lot to love Living lightsIncluding the great song of A-HA and a first performance of Benicio Del Toro.

“Die Another Day” (2002)
With Pierce Brosnan
Die another day was the last film that Pierce Brosnan appeared in BondAnd actually ruined his chance to make more payments in the series, even if it was relatively successful at the box office. Although Brosnan started in a fairly anchored place as leap with GoldeneyeHis films have gradually become more stupid, and Die another day Completely jumped the shark by including points from the intrigue that felt straight out of science fiction. A strange twist of the plot involving the villain, played by Toby Stephensis so weird that he can shock the Bond fans to imagine that it really happened in a consumer film released in 2002.
Die another day pull -ups Which makes a cool character leap,, Like gadgets and gadgets end up taking more importance than its inherent charisma and intelligence. The overputization of CGI, which already had proud look in 2002, seems even worse now; The film also has a confusion of tone, because it somehow passes from a wacky scene of leap surfing on the coast of North Korea to a scene of graphic torture which leads to the opening song. The only good thing to say about Die another day is that the two female characters, played by Halle Berry And Rosamund Pikeare fairly well written and executed.

“Quantum of Solace” (2008)
With Daniel Craig
Comfort quantum is a film difficult to judge in the arc of Daniel CraigLeapBecause he suffered from serious production problems at the height of the writer’s strike. Although it was designed to be a darker suite that saw Bond trying to take revenge on the death of Vesper Lyn (Eva Green) during the end of Casino Royale,, Comfort quantum ended up being a convoluted mess that did not have the adventure and the intrigue that we would expect from an episode of the series. While Mathieu Amalric is a big actor who did an excellent job with Steven Spielberg And Wes AndersonHis performance as Dominic Greene is one of the weakest bad guys in the whole series. The idea of a Duplicite charity promoter who faces a criminal business had a ton of potential that Comfort quantum Completely wasted.
Comfort quantum is in a way a film very full of action with very little suspenseAs there are so many adjustment parts that it never feels like Bond is in danger. Although it is a sharp decision to show that Bond was at a stadium of sorrow, and thus played things closer to the chest, it appears completely without humor and devoid of charisma in Comfort quantumLike any pleasure in the film has just Judi Denchis a great performance while Mr. The Craig Bond Films has become known for their length, but about 100 minutes, Comfort quantum Feel like a draft that has not passed the appropriate mounting cycles. Although it is impressive that Craig and the director Marc Forster were able to make something supervised at a distance in a bad situation, Comfort quantum The least rewarding entry is easily in one of the best eras of the franchise. Spectrum And No time to die Perhaps they had their problems, but they at least seemed to kiss Bond’s heritage and showed love for the character.
