Whether it’s about solving a world-saving crime or wooing the prettiest ladies in the world – James Bond is best at everything. However, the same cannot be said about his films, though.
In this article, we’ll be discussing what went right and what went wrong with some of the 007 movies ever produced. Let’s keep reading, then.
The Best And The Worst Of Agent 007!
Before we begin, though, here’s something we wanted to share with you.
Each of the movies we’re going to talk about here can be found on Pirate Bay. You can literally download them for free and watch them without any stuttering or buffering as well.

The Best – Skyfall (2012)
Daniel Craig has featured as the 007 six times, and, amongst them, Skyfall was drool-worthy. The action sequences were glamorous, the theme song was mindblowing, and Javier Bardem’ Raoul Silva was as intense as ever.
Just look at the scene where he talks with M. It’s highly emotional, realistic, and painful, as Raoul expresses what he had to go through as an MI6 agent.
The Bond: Daniel Craig.
The Best Part: When James Bond meets Raoul Silva for the very first time… the sequence is pretty intelligent and tells us how intelligent 007 really is. And, Adele’s song at the beginning was a spectacle to listen to as well.
The Worst – Spectre (2015)
As we’ve noted down the best of Daniel Craig’s Bond, let’s talk about the worst too – Spectre. Yes, Quantum of Solace wasn’t good enough, either.
But, we don’t think people expected too much from that movie like they did with Spectre. And, it was coming right after Skyfall. So, the hype was massive.
However, it failed to deliver.
It’s not the actors’ fault, though. We think it’s Sam Mendes trying to make Stavro Blofeld the mastermind behind everything. The writing’s pretty poor, too.
The Bond: Daniel Craig.
The Worst Part: It seems like just another cheap Spy thriller, to be honest. Christoph Waltz did his best to portray Stavro as high and mighty, but the writing makes the character fall flat on his face. The environment building wasn’t good enough either.
The Best – Goldfinger (1964)
If setting up a Bond premise perfectly was an art, Goldfinger would be the picasso of it. The movie was the third installment of the series and it was excellent from every viewpoint.
To begin with, Sean Connery was at his charismatic best throughout the whole film. We could not take our eyes off the Scottish actor, not even once!
And, the movie also featured the most popular and enigmatic villain of the franchise – Auric Goldfinger. And, Honor Blackman as the “bond girl” was amazing as well.
The Bond: Sean Connery.
The Best Part: The scene where Auric Goldfinger ties James Bond on a table and says, “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die,” is iconic. However, that’s not the only thing, though. The film shows us everything about agent 007 that we love and hate – his arrogance, playfulness, being too cozy around villains, and his ever-so-prominent indifference. Brilliant from every point!
The Worst – Die Another Day (2002)
Pierce Brosnan was the most charming and good-looking James Bond in our honest opinion. And, the way he and Halle Berry tried to pick this movie up was quite admiring too.
However, the plotline of the same was too weak to save from the wreckage it received at the end. The dodgy CGI footage during the climactic fight scene wasn’t good at all.
The Bond: Pierce Brosnan.
The Worst Part: The theme song (sung by Madonna) became quite popular during that time. But, the dance-y vibe of the same didn’t suit James Bond’s personality at all. Also, the classic singer-songwriter won the “worst supporting actress” award for the fencing instructor cameo.
One Article Is Not Enough!
Honestly, writing about the legendary creation of Ian Fleming isn’t possible in just one blog. Hence, we promise to come back with something as such again later on.
But, before we do that, we want to know your honest opinion. Did you like our article? If you wanted to change one thing, what would it be?
