James Bond Films in order of Greatness...

I love this... the most underrated, overlooked Bond film.

I've surprised myself, choosing this over 'Goldfinger', but I think it is the better film, as the acting and dialogue are noticeably smoother.

Fun. Maud Adams is one of the best Bond Girls, good chases, and the circus-bomb situation is well done.

It is slightly soppy, but I still think it's Roger Moore's best.

**Spolier Alert**

The first scene with James Bond at the Casino, dangling an about-to-be-lit cigarette is, and there's no other word for it, cool. We instantly want to know more about this character, and Sean Connery gives a magnetic performance throughout.

Dr. No himself is one of the best villains - we know this is a man of scorching intelligence, capable of making even 007 look like a 'stupid policeman', but, as is usually the case with SPECTRE villains, pride is his downfall.

Over 50 years on, the first Bond film is still engaging and satisfying viewing - with good music - and, actually, works better than many of the subsequent entries.

the last quarter doesn't quite work. Otherwise excellent. Slightly overrated, I feel.

Very good, engaging entry, and a refreshing update after the corny mess of D.A.D.

Craig's is a darker Bond. We see the scars - both the physical and emotional cost of being a secret agent in a society that's at the mercy of organised terror groups. This strays a long way from Connery's more relaxed interpretation and the whole atmosphere of the 60s/70s/80s/90s Bond films. Does this result in a character that is too similar to Jason Bourne and Batman? Has James bond become a robotic killer incapable of remorse?

Roger Moore's first Bond film is a success. It is also by far the creepiest, oddest of the lot, which makes it quirky and therefore interesting.

The book (second in the series) is worth a read - a lot of people find it racist, but I think this is most unfair. True, he stereotypes, but no more so than his stereotyping of women. And we must remember he was writing this in the early 50s, so some of the language, that wouldn't be appropriate now, was part of normal discourse then, and therefore not meant by him offensively.

Christopher Walken creates one of the most memorable villains. Roger Moore looks too old, but the interesting story, locations, and other characters carry him through to make this one of his best.

Best theme song of them all IMHO.

This was miles better than I remember. Glamorous, and with great locations.

Impressive second Craig instalment. Not boring at any point, and dialogue is generally smooth.

However, it is a bit miserable. Could have done with a cheerful martini to go with it.

Plus, dreadful theme song.

rather dreary and slow in the first half, but picks up in the second.

Fantastic, exotic Japanese locations (and 60s interior styling) are what make this film for me - otherwise, I think, the plot too far fetched and the gadgets too gadgety.

I used to love TND...but now, I feel the second half lets it down, and I think this is partly because the chemistry between Bond and his Chinese sidekick is not believable.

kudos, however, to the directors for a great opening sequence.

This exceeded my expectations and I generally enjoyed it.

My two big criticisms are:

1. The torture scene: I don't understand why it is entertaining to watch someone have their skull drilled into. I find it upsetting and disturbing.

2. The main villain is once again is a two-dimensional nutcase. Not convincing or interesting. Obvious. Though perhaps a slight improvement on the last Bond film's villain.

I still feel there's something missing.

Not bad until we reach the American Bond girl...plus I don't buy the whole villain-with-bullet-in-brain-feels-no-pain storyline. Ott.

Very good for 3/4.

the new M is a highlight.

The ending sends me to sleep.

The first opening 5 minutes is one of the best action sequences in the whole of the franchise. Not until we reach the last quarter is this kind of quality again apparent.

I feel this could have been one of the best Bond films, but there's too many bad jokes, corny moments, and the main relationship doesn't quite work.

Not as poor as I remember - the best thing about FYEO are the chases, which are original and entertaining.

i confess to enjoying this the second time round.

The Bond girl is especially awful as she really lacks a brain. 'living daylights' is hopelessly unsophisticated.

Excellent theme song, though.

So this wasn't as bad as I recall - at least the plot is coherent and the locations interesting.

Otherwise, corny, predictable, and you end up wondering why Drax doesn't just shoot Bond while he has the chance, rather than continuing to dream up elaborate deaths.

Watched the first half of this the other day and didn't like it much, although it wasn't as bad as I remember. Fairly poor acting all round.

awful dialogue, irritating Bond Girl, crap villain, stupid car, and pathetic plot.

Unwatchable.
