Smarks Watch: The James Bond Franchise

[Chris]

My list would probably be Moore, Dalton, Connery, Brosnan, Craig, Lazenby

Lazenby only hurt by the fact that he was in one movie, but him and Craig are very close, but this feels like I"m hating on Craig when I love him too smh lmao lists are hard

 

[Chris]

I'm so glad to see you guys fuck with the Dalton Bonds as much as I do tho bc so many people shit on them

 

[Kross Rhodes]

By Spy do you mean the Spy Who Loved Me? Bc I fucks heavy with that too, Moonraker was just out there and so ridiculous that I enjoyed it as well but I wouldn't rate it too high overall if I was ranking the movies

Yeah. It was Spy Who Loved Me and then Moonraker right after, right? Loved those two. Seemed to have a bit of loose continuity.

I love continuity. Especially the Spectre ones.

The music always rules in all of these movies no matter the context

Yeah I think Jaws was in both of them lol the Bond continuity is hilarious to try and wrap your head around

To be fair, my list was going off of film quality. Aside from LALD, SWLM, FYEO, and OP, Moore's movies fall into so bad it's good territory.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Dunno what to tell you, OHMSS is my all time favorite Bond. Not to mention he played the role of a Bond pushed to his limits and at times terrified of his position so well.

Wasn’t a big fan of that one personally. Especially with how it weirdly portrayed Blofeld like they hasn’t met already, but fair enough.

It's all because of that cunt Kevin McClory suing over Thunderball.

I have a much different list for film quality than my rankings as Bond lol bc I think Craig and Connery have had the best films but I don't see them as "James Bond" as much as others

Speaking of, are we watching Never Say Never Again in this rewatch? It's on the Wiki list as part of the series lol

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Yeah that movie was fire and I can't say anything bad about it so that puts Lazenby up there for me as well. I'd also probably put Craig at the bottom even though Casino Royale and Skyfall are two of my absolute favorite Bond movies...but Casino Royale especially just didn't feel like Bond to me. It gets a pass bc of how good of a movie it was though, but I loved how they brought back all the classic Bond cliches in Skyfall

I was not a huge fan but of Craig as Bond. Skyfall was pretty neat, though.

No. If that were the case we'd have to watch the 50's Casino Royale and the 60's Bond parody.

 

[Chris]

Casino Royale is honestly up there for my favorite movie, but it's the least like a Bond movie of any so it's almost not fair to compare it to others

 

[Chris]

No. If that were the case we'd have to watch the 50's Casino Royale and the 60's Bond parody.

Agreed but those aren't on the Wiki list and Never Say Never Again is

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Agreed but those aren't on the Wiki list and Never Say Never Again is

It's not an EON film.
