It depends upon your criteria. The 1967 version of Casino Royale doesn't fit in with the EON series, so many people might say that it's the worst ever Bond movie - but I love it!
Similarly George Lazenby is often cited as giving the worst ever portrayal of Bond but that shouldn't automatically make On Her Majesty's Secret Service the worst film.
Noth3 might have a point. For me, what makes a classic Bond movie different to any other action movie is the element of humour within it (e.g. as with Bond's relationship with Q). The more recent films seem to have concentrated on special effects at the expense of the sense of fun which pervades the earlier films.
I really enjoyed Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye..UNTIL Daniel Craig came along, ever since watching Casino Royale this has to be my fave Bond movie of all time, he is just sooo soooo gorgeously sexy...and the storyline was great too...
One of Ian Flemings best bond novels The Man with the golden gun, was without a doubt the worst film, In the Book JB returns from being held captive and tries to assassinate M, After a spell in re-hab, JB is sent on a do or die mission to kill Franscico Scaramanga.No mention of mirrored hallways or midget servants!
Scaramnga does have three nipples (as do a lot of people including myself), but the makers of the film decided to put the nipple in the centre of his other two and not underneath where they are usually found!
The last Three were fantastic.
All the one's starring Timothy Dalton are utter cr@p.
James Bond Fact: Gert Frobe who played Goldfinger could not speak a word of English and was completely dubbed by a actor called Michael Collins!
