Even Daniel Craig said that QoS was written during the writers strike. They didn't have a full script and the only completed script was a rough draft. The director and actor had to basically wing it to get the film done in time to make it's release date. Daniel Craig said the experience almost put him off on doing any more Bond films and the movie is a piece of shit. That's from his own mouth. OK. It's still better than DAF and DAD.... |

Damn, you must really hate DAF then. lol I did a re-watch of the whole series before Spectre, and DAF really rubbed me the wrong way that time. I used to consistently rate DAD as the worst, but I changed it after my last series viewing. So, who knows? When I re-watch them all in another 5-10 years, my opinion might change again.... |

For me, it continues to alternate between Die Another Day and A View to a Kill, but as now, the latter holds the title as worst Bond film to date. Both of those films have good elements in it although they don't make for a good cohesive whole. Christopher Walken was a great classic and mentally disturbed Bond villain and the showdown on the Golden Gate Bridge was one of the film's highlights. Roger Moore felt a tad passionate in his final outing than he did in Octopussy, although he was clearly too old for the role. Whatever facelift he had before filming failed miserably. Patrick Macnee and Grace Jones were fine Bond allies. The title song by Duran Duran is still one of the series's best. However, the storyline was an updated rehash of Goldfinger with just replacing gold with microchips, and it felt tired. Besides the showdown, which I already mentioned, the action sequences felt lacking. Bond driving in one-half of a car in Paris descends the film into further parody, and the San Francisco car chase didn't make it any better. To top it off, they included "California Girls" during a rather impressive ski chase in the pre-titles sequence.
At least Die Another Day holds up better, and actually has some lively elements going for it. The first half was still rather impressive to watch at building the mystery of who betrayed Bond in North Korea. The fencing scene and Pierce Brosnan and Rosemund Pike's performances were good stuff. Madonna's title song, the CGI effects, the infamous sky surfing scene, the invisible car, Halle Berry's corny dialogue, and Graves's death is still laughably bad. The villain scheme almost gives Hugo Drax's plan in Moonraker a run for its money at how over-the-top and ridiculous it can be.

From the moment it was released, Live and Let Die has been my least favorite film.

"Quantum of Solace" edging out "Die Another Day".

I can barely remember Die Another Day, so I'm not sure just how poorly I would rate it compared to some of the others, so I voted for A View to a Kill, the only Bond film where the girls are more manly than Bond himself.

Die Another Day (2002)
Such a promising opening ruined within minutes of the opening credits.

And I love the ending in the shower, for that is worth—a nice way for Moore to go out. I actually have never seen any of the Brosnan films—I have to do so at some point. |

From the moment it was released, Live and Let Die has been my least favorite film. strikes me as a fairly weak entry, but there is that curiosity element in terms of James Bond (and a new James Bond at that) travelling to Harlem and then the swampy South—James Bonds meets Blaxploitation and Deliverance, with Paul McCartney singing the title song. The combination makes no sense and would have been utterly unimaginable a decade earlier, but as a historical artifact or curio, I find it intriguing, sort of like Paint Your Wagon (Joshua Logan, 1969), the Western musical co-starring Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. |

I would vote for On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It's the only Bond film that I have never seen in its entirety and the reason is mainly due to Telly Savalas

I also like Diamonds Are Forever and Die Another Day as well. Though in no way I'm saying View, Diamonds, and Day are without flaws. But I think if you turn off your brain and get lost in them, they're entertaining.
