Oh yeah, Grace Jones was probably the most scary Bond girl/henchwoman ever and not scary in the good way. Also, Roger Moore wasn’t such a young man anymore he looked bored and probably wanted to be anywhere else but on the set of this film. Ted: You know the film isn’t any good when you have Christopher Walken is playing the villain and yet he’s boring as heck. You know the phrase, quit when you are ahead? Well, Connery definitely overstayed his welcome with this one. Ruth: An elderly, balding Bond just ruins the image of the super spy. And lastly, the film was just plain boring. In an interview, Kirchner said he didn’t want to direct those action scenes, so I guess that’s why there were so badly shot. Then there’s the action or should I say what action? There were two major action sequences in the whole film and they were badly directed by Irwin Kirchner, this is the same man who directed The Empire Strikes Back not sure what happened there. The villain was pretty weak, in fact I thought the actor who played the villain was very dorky looking and every time he appeared on screen, I started laughing. Yes, it starred Sean Connery but he was in his late 50s around this time and when you paired him with the young Bond girl, Kim Basinger, it was kind of creepy. ![]() ( MGM bought the rights a few years ago but it’s still considered the black sheep of the franchise) and also it was a remake of a much superior Bond film, Thunderball. First off, this one wasn’t considered part of the Bond franchise since it was produced by Warner Bros. Ted: There are several reasons why I think this is the worst Bond film ever. ![]() We differ on one that I include on the honorable mention though, but let’s get to the top five first: Ted gave me this list a few months back and guess what, apparently we share a similar taste when it comes to Bond movies as I also regard these as my least favorite. But out of 22 Bond films, there are definitely quite a few duds. I think Bond movies are the quintessential escapist entertainment - cool actions, exotic locales and our suave hero hardly ever gets hurt. I used to watch the older Sean Connery Bond movies with my brothers who were both 5 years older than me, but the Bond I grew up with were Roger Moore & Timothy Dalton. Ruth: James Bond is huge in my household growing up. Just remember films are subjective, so don’t get mad at me if I included your favorite Bond films on my worst list. I’ve seen all of the Bond films and read most of the books, so I guess I’m qualified to give MY list of the worst Bond films ever produced. It’s a fantasy for every male out there, okay maybe some would rather be Batman or Superman but I digress. As for me, I considered myself a Bond fanatic, I mean come on now, the dude looks good, gets to sleep with beautiful women, drives a super expensive car, blow a lot of stuff up and save the world from the bad guys. Ted: I think most film lovers have seen some or maybe all of the James Bond films even if you’re not into them, I’m quite sure you’ve seen one or two Bond films in your lifetime. Craig with new Bond girls Bernice Marlohe & Naomi Harris For sure this one is off to a flying start with the most award-winning Bond cast ever - Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney & Ben Wishaw joining Daniel Craig on his third outing as 007. Ok so the likelihood of Oscar winner Sam Mendes’ Bond film would end up on this list is pretty slim. to list five WORST James Bond films ever made.
