Which Bond movie would you rank as the worst in the franchise?

How about ‘A View To A Kill’? I watched it last night which is what put me in mind of the question in the OP. The mood of the film didn’t even seem like a Bond film; in other words it lacked the glamour one normally associates with a Bond film.
@UpUpAndAway I’m guessing he means the one with Woody Allen.

I think this one actually has a lot of strong points except for the actor playing Bond.
Mmmm…fair do’s. I was thinking more of Lazenby. Good call on your part.

It’s got a Louis Armstrong song on the soundtrack, for example.
Ah…yes. Thank you for calling this to mind.

I remember watching that movie when it was still quite new and enjoying it immensely. I never saw it again after that, though.
Some of the later Roger Moore pictures were a bit weak, I thought, mainly because of the writing. They came to rely too heavily on the quips and gags. I couldn’t tell you the titles, though, after all these years. There were even one or two of the movies, from around that time, that I never watched at all.

I’ve seen all the Bond movies, except Quantum of Solace and the new one.
A View to a Kill was pretty weak. Roger Moore was getting a bit old at that point. I’m also not a huge Brosnan fan. Die Another a Day is another least favorite of mine.
People seem to put down Timothy Dalton’s movies, but he’s actually my favorite Bond aside from Connery.

Yeah, I too enjoyed the Niven CR for what it is. But quality cinema it is not. 
I really disliked Quantum of Solace. :-1:t3: The Husband and I walked out of that one after watching the entire film, wondering if we could get a refund on the time we wasted viewing it (as well as driving to and from the theatre, since we saw it late in the run and had to drive to Brussels [45 minutes away] to find a theater that was still showing it
).

I thought he did a very good job in License to Kill.

Does that mean that there was a good one?

I agree, that was really disappointing, even though Mathieu Amalric was a very effective villain. What let it down was a weak storyline, I think.

I think you’re being tongue in cheek but the consensus seems to be that the first three or four with Sean Connery were all good. After that, it seems all bets are off. I always enjoyed the Roger Moore ones.

I agree. It wasn’t rotten through and through—very few films are—but it was just poor enough to irritate us given the money spent and the effort made to see it.

I thought Die Another Day really ended the Brosnan era on a sour note. And in the 40th anniversary year too.
