James Bond Movie Reviews
In preparation for the latest James Bond movie, Spectre, coming soon to theatres, let us re-visit all the official James Bond movies from the very beginning!
-
001 - Dr. No (1962) - Movie Review
It's time to kick off the marathon of James Bond movies, starting with the first movie, Dr. No, which debuted in 1962.
-
002 - From Russia With Love (1963) - Movie Review
007's second movie is much better than it's predecessor, but it's still not without a few major flaws.
-
003 - Goldfinger (1964) - Movie Review
Goldfinger is the 1964 James Bond classic that pushed the franchise to new heights, and lows.
-
004 - Thunderball (1965) - Movie Review
Let's just start of by saying that if Goldfinger didn't exist, this would definitely be Sean Connery's best 007 film, and to some, this movie may even be the better one.
-
005 - You Only Live Twice (1967) - Movie Review
This movie is often remembered as the one where Bond became Japanese.
-
006 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) - Movie Review
This movie should have been a new step in the James Bond franchise, with a new Bond, new tricks, new ideas, and new music.
-
007 - Diamonds Are Forever (1971) - Movie Review
That's right Sean Connery is back as Bond again! And with the return of the original Bond actor, everything that made the earlier movies special returned!
-
008 - Live and Let Die (1973) - Movie Review
Welcome to the Roger Moore era of the 007 movies, and with a new official James Bond, we get a whole new look at the future of the franchise.
-
009 - The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) - Movie Review
After dispatching so many villains in his career, it was only inevitable that someone would finally just put the hit out on James Bond, and that day finally arrived... Or has it?
-
010 - The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - Movie Review
While investigating the disappearance of nuclear submarines, 007 teams up with Russian Agent XXX as he discovers a much larger and destructive plot is afoot.
-
011 - Moonraker (1979) - Movie Review
For a movie that was a rushed cash-grab, Moonraker is actually pretty good.
-
012 - For Your Eyes Only (1981) - Movie Review
Time for a second attempt at a realistic and romantic James Bond.
-
013 - Octopussy (1983) - Movie Review
With nothing better to do, James Bond joins the circus where he is trained by women on how to fight Russians... Ha, I wish!
-
014 - A View to a Kill (1985) - Movie Review
Apparently even a trip to San Francisco couldn't end Moore's Bond career on a high note.
-
015 - The Living Daylights (1987) - Movie Review
This time Bond is tasked to protect a defecting KGB agent, only things aren't always what they first appear.
-
016 - Licence To Kill (1989) - Movie Review
Bond isn't 007 in this movie; his licence and status has been revoked.
-
017 - Goldeneye (1995) - Movie Review
Time to return to the comical Bond, only this one feels the need to compensate with bigger weapons.
-
018 - Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) - Movie Review
007's mission: To stop a news tycoon from starting World War III.
-
019 - The World is Not Enough (1999) - Movie Review
All the action in the world is not enough to make this a great movie.
-
020 - Die Another Day (2002) - Movie Review
Every journey that begins must come to an end... But, the original 007 movies should have ended with a better movie!
-
021 - Casino Royale (2006) - Movie Review
I guess after 20 movies, rebooting a franchise might be a good idea, especially after the falling quality that the 007 movies experienced lately.
-
022 - Quantum of Solace (2008) - Movie Review
Sometimes sequels are a good idea, but not this time. This is one movie that should have been left on the cutting-room floor.
-
023 - Skyfall (2012) - Movie Review
It may not be perfect, and not at the level of Royale, but is still one of the best 007 movies yet.
