(10/10 Stars) This movie revitalized a stagnant series. The emphasis is largely on character development, and the movie is very violent for a Bond flick, but Daniel Craig's cold-blooded take on Bond fits well with the Bond of Ian Fleming's novels.

(10/10 Stars) This very serious Bond outing gets back to the basics and avoids the tired cliche of a madman bent on world domination or world destruction. One character (Lynn Holly Johnson as Bibi Dahl) is quite annoying, but otherwise this movie is non-stop, fairly realistic entertainment.

(9/10 Stars) A hollowed out volcano may seem like a silly concept today, especially after the Austin Powers series parodied it, but it is a clever (if cheesy) idea, and the action is much more exciting than in Connery's first four movies. Connery is certainly the greatest actor to play Bond, but this is his only movie with a plot that I consider to be truly entertaining by today's standards.

(9/10 Stars) Although Pierce Brosnan is my least favorite actor to portray Bond, GoldenEye has the right combination of action, wit, cheesiness, post-Cold-War melodrama, and a more critical take on 007's misogynistic ways.

(8/10 Stars) Considered by many to be one of the worst for its undeniable silliness, I actually found Scaramanga to be one of the most likable and most deranged Bond villains. And the silliness adds to the entertainment value, even if some members of the cast can't act.

(8/10 Stars) Sean Connery excels. Lotte Lenya is one of the great Bond villains. The fight sequence on the train is memorable. But overall it is slow-moving and, like Goldfinger, a bit dated. But again, I would still recommend it.

(8/10 Stars) By the standards of its time, it is one of the best. It is certainly one of the most historically significant. But it is neither as entertaining nor as fulfilling a plot as some of the later ones.

(6/10 Stars) Louis Jordan's Kamal Khan may be the worst Bond villain ever, Roger Moore was too old to play Bond, and Faberge eggs and octopi do not make for the most engaging plot. The action sequences in Germany (partially) redeem the movie.

(5/10 Stars) Average all around. Denise Richards's performance as Christmas Jones is painful to watch. And the action sequences just go on too long, without a compelling plot to sustain them.

(3/10 Stars) Sean Connery's worst performance as Bond is in this unnecessary remake of Thunderball. Even his acting is sub-par. Maybe he was too old at this point. But hey, he's younger than Roger Moore. In general, the plot is disjointed and the acting is bad.

(1/10 Stars) Where to begin? Roger Moore was way too old. Tanya Roberts and Grace Jones are terrible. The plot is an asinine attempt to cash in on the tech boom. And who would fill a gun with rock salt? This movie gets one star for Christopher Walken's brilliant performance as Max Zorin. Still, it is the worst Bond movie.
