Kidd and Mr. Wint, respectively. This Daniel Craig adventure is "filled with big sets, big stunts, and what ought to be big moments," Matt Zoller Seitz noted for RogerEbert.
Spectre co-stars Christoph Waltz in a new take on the old reliable Bond villain Blofeld, with Ralph Fiennes taking over as M, and like Skyfall, delves deeper into Bond's origin story. This Timothy Dalton entry, the first of his two turns as James Bond, wins points from critics for not being a Roger Moore entry. This film, which marks George Lazenby's lone outing as James Bond , is a pretty good entry, per critics.
While the New Yorker's Pauline Kael found its star "quite a dull fellow," she called the movie "exciting. This entry marks Sean Connery's fifth outing as James Bond. The film is nonetheless influential: Its cat-petting iteration of Blofeld played by Donald Pleasence , complete with villain's hideaway in a volcano, inspired the Austin Powers franchise's Dr.
According to critics, this film is Roger Moore's second-best James Bond movie. According to critics, this film is a lesser Sean Connery entry, but a worthy entry overall. Pent-up demand may have helped: The film was the first James Bond movie since Timothy Dalton's License to Kill, released six years prior. Released in , two years after Star Wars changed just about everything in Hollywood, the fourth Roger Moore James Bond film sees sent to outer space. Critics non-ironically cheered.
The top-grossing Sean Connery Bond movie, this film is also one of the better-reviewed Bond movies. Never Say Never Again marked Connery's final appearance and, from a critical standpoint, seems to have benefited from having been released during the reviled tail end of the Roger Moore era. Despite the presence of Connery, who first embodied Bond on the big screen, this movie wasn't from Eon Productions, making it the second of the two non-canonical films in our list. The final film to star Daniel Craig as has drawn largely positive reviews, following an extended wait for its release brought about by production delays and the coronavirus pandemic.
With a running time of 2 hours, 43 minutes, No Time to Die is the longest Bond movie of them all. The first James Bond feature film , released in though it didn't arrive in the United States until , is one of the best James Bond movies, per critics.
No , featuring Ursula Andress as original Bond girl Honey Ryder yes, really , was one of 's Top 10 box-office hits. The opening minutes of the film reveal how Bond earned his double-0 rating, and for fans of the Ian Fleming novels, it manages to both stay true to the book and adapt that story for audiences a half-century later.
The film won the series' first two Oscars since 's Goldfinger; it claimed statuettes for sound editing and for Adele's title song. The second James Bond movie is, per the critical consensus, the second-best James Bond movie ever. The New Yorker's fabled Pauline Kael praised the release : "Exciting, handsomely staged, and campy.
Roger Moore appeared in more of the Eon-produced films than other Bond actor, and was known for being perhaps the most debonair and overtly sophisticated Bond. After taking a five-year break from the screen, Moore continued to appear in films and TV until he died in Pierce Brosnan has been considered as a replacement for Moore, but got his chance with GoldenEye in and portrayed Bond in four films.
His version of brought back some of the suaveness eschewed by Dalton, while featuring some touches that brought him towards the 21st century — his was the first Bond not to smoke notwithstanding a cigar in Die Another Day. Log In. That was a terrible idea, but it was also a rushed one, which made it worse.
Instead, the producers changed gears on the heels of the massive success of Star Wars in and put super-spy James Bond an astronaut in space. It did mark the return of Richard Kiel as Jaws though, and Moonraker also features the most ridiculous Bond Girl name of the entire series — Dr. Holly Goodhead, played by Lois Chiles. James Bond entered his third decade on the screen with For Your Eyes Only , and while it still was a trademark Roger Moore-era movie, with humor and over-the-top moments, it was a return to good ideas and good movie-making after the disaster that was Moonraker.
Shortly after that, James finds himself on a helicopter be remotely controlled by none other than his old nemesis, Ernst Blofeld, who is in a wheelchair and whom Bond eventually deposits down a smokestack as the opening credits role.
Yep, this one is usually most famous for its name. Somehow, it got past the censors and ended up with a PG rating. Octopussy won the box office race and Never Say Never Again was sort of ignored by most Bond fans other than as a curiosity.
Octopussy is also the only Bond movie filmed in India, which makes it worth the watch alone. It saw James Bond being tasked with following a general who is stealing treasures from the Soviet Union, but it eventually turns into a race to stop the detonation of a nuclear weapon. Moore is still the highest tally among all the actors that have played James Bond. His goal is to cause an earthquake that wipes northern California off the map while he rides around on a blimp with his name on it.
The plot and the movie are the epitome of over-the-top camp that defined the Roger Moore era. Eventually though, Brosnan would be locked into his contract for the show and the producers went with Timothy Dalton as the star of The Living Daylights.
The way Dalton played James Bond was a big departure from Moore. It should also be noted that The Living Daylights marked the return of Bond's classic car, the Aston Martin, and would also be the last movie to use the title from an Ian Fleming story until 's Casino Royale. The second and final James Bond movie for Timothy Dalton is one of the most under-appreciated films of the series, Licence to Kill yes, we're going with the British spelling here.
One very notable thing about the cast, the henchman Dario is played by a very young Benicio del Toro in one of his very first roles. Felix Leiter also came back for another round of action, and he wouldn't be seen on the big screen again until Casino Royale. Due to financial and legal wrangling , Licence To Kill would be the last James Bond movie for six years, and in the intervening time, a lot of major changes happened Arguably the biggest was the producers now including Barbara Broccoli, taking over for her father landing the guy they wanted back in the '80s, Pierce Brosnan, to play the British secret agent.
His first movie, GoldenEye , was a huge hit as the public was excited about the first Bond movie in years AND that Bronsnan finally had the role many thought he should have had years before. Another major change was the role of M. For years, the role was played by Bernard Lee, then in the '80s, by Robert Brown. For GoldenEye , the producers would cast a woman in the role, Dame Judi Dench, who would go on to make the role all her own.
Tomorrow Never Dies is most notable for its cast. However, after Casino Royale was released Craig won over most of his critics and although the quality of films has varied since he is now considered by many to be a top-tier Bond. Craig initially hinted that he was ready to step down after Spectre — but decided to return for one last film, making him the longest-serving Bond of all time.
In terms of time span, Daniel Craig is the longest-serving Bond of all time, with 15 years passing between his debut in Casino Royale and his swan song in No Time To Die Connery appeared in six official movies not including the non-Eon production Never Say Never Again while Moore still holds the record for starring in the most, with seven films in a twelve-year stretch between and Sign in.
