Probably not, you just remember Goldeneye fondly because you're an insufferable le 90s kid who worships the video game, and because Casino Royale revitalized the franchise and was so much better than the previous couple of movies.

I'd be lying if I said those weren't my two favorite though.

From Russia with Love is undoubtedly the greatest 007 movie. If you contest this you are a giant fucking pleb.

It has the perfect combination of good dialogue, location, it's one of the few bond films that actually deals with espionage, and it has great action scenes that aren't over the top like GoldFinger was.

It was basically real James Bond before he became a huge action movie hero with Goldfinger. I still like Goldfinger but From Russia is still the GOAT.

That's entirely possible. I've been trying to get into the series, and I really did like Dr. No, but maybe that was just a one-off deal.

I have nothing against action sequences and cheesy zingers, but when your entire film is nothing but that (or at least, the first hour since I can't vouch for the second half) it just gets trite.

Also it's pure speculation, unless you claim to be able to speak to the dead. I've read the books, and at no point did I feel like Craig embodies the literary character

I have, and while the plot follows the book more-or-less, Craig's take on the character isn't particularly similar to the Fleming version. Appearance aside, Craig acts like just another American action hero, the sophistication and fastidiousness of Fleming's Bond just isn't there.

At least with previous film versions of Bond they usually tried to have scenes where he displays how cultured he is, like determining the age and brand of a certain scotch. Craig's Bond, in contrast, drinks Heineken and hangs out on the beach to show off his muscles.

I can only imagine the mental gymnastics it requires to actually make yourself believe that Fleming would like Daniel Craig

I hate TND, it's just an inept retooling of the Lewis Gilbert films. TWINE is much better, and the last good Bond film

The first three and Casino Royale are the best. The rest are hit and miss. I still haven't seen Spectre.

I have a soft spot for You Only Live Twice, even if some of it is incredibly stupid.

YOLT will always be my favorite. Tiger Tanaka is awesome, as is Donald Pleasance as Blofeld
