    Haven’t quite watched them all yet but from the sizeable sample range that I have seen, A View to Kill would probably be the worst.

    Die Another Day was one of the silliest in more recent years (If you can still call that recent) but the ludicrous plot and stupidity of it didn’t detract from the enjoyment so I don’t think it would deserve to be at the bottom. It wouldn’t have occurred to me from watching it that it would be a popular candidate for worst Bond movie. I also really liked Brosnan as bond and probably because of my age, to me he is the archetypal bond with actors before and after being variations.

      To me watching them in sequence Die Another Day felt like a callback to the earlier Roger Moore (or even some Connery) Bond Movies. Tonally it was quite a shift from the previous couple of movies.

      say what you will about View to a Kill, but we have to agree that it has the best song. I’ve seen every single movie, more than once, and nothing is as painfully rad and 80s as Duran Duran’s contribution to the series.
