-
The one with Halle Berry, Rosamund Pike and Maddona.
-
The one with Michelle Yeoh. Vincent Price is Rupert Murdoch on steroids. Hired Ricky Jay to hack “SSL2 with 128 bits” links or something.
-
Surprisingly introspective plot about oil pipelines in Asia Minor countries.
-
Modern (about my age) Bond doesn’t really deviate from the formula. An above average action film.
-
The one filmed in Portugal posing for Sicily, with George Lazenby.
-
Now this is just preposterous. SPECTRE is doing false flag rocket launches from their hollowed out volcano lairs with monorails!
-
Ludonarrative Dissonance: The Film. Yet another childish comic book adaptation that pretends to be edgy by using cuss words.
-
The one that starts the silliness. This starts with a funeral for a “JB”, Bond sucker-punches the widow (which turns out to be the dead man) and eventually ends with Bond escaping on a jetpack.
-
The one with Pussy Galore, Oddjob and the titular Goldfinger attempting to blow a nuke on Fort Knox to irradiate the gold and make all other gold more valuable.
-
The quintessential James Bond. The one with all the recognisable elements:
-
An anthology series, spiritually related to the film, but without much overarching mythos. It’s a standalone recreation, with TV people.
-
A badly paced risqué version of North by Northwest. Kinda underwhelming.
-
The new one. Chloë Moretz is not as pitiful as Sissy Spacek, but she is a better actress, so it evens out in the end. The bullies are even more massacred here.
-
Lousy cheating horror. I honestly saw this just for Kristen, but it’s from her teen phase, it should be ignored.
-
Just another crap horror film. It would have gone directly to the bargain bin, but Jennifer Lawrence became a bankable star right at the same time.
-
A very silly comedy. It might be a series of disjointed set pieces, but those set pieces are very good.
-
Probably Scorsese’s finest.
-
The other Bee Movie, equally as hilarious. A classic Nic Cage romp.
-
Weaker gender swapped version of The Brothers Bloom.
