2 days ago · 007: Goldfinger (1964) 99% #1. Critics Consensus: Goldfinger is where James Bond as we know him comes into focus - it features one of 007's most famous lines ("A martini. Shaken, not stirred.")...

Invaluable to the series only because the film almost killed it so it could be reborn with Casino Royale, the 20th Bond adventure features all of the franchise's worst impulses. For being the entry that brought 007 into the 21st century, this is an incredibly tacky-looking movie, from the community theater ice palace to the CGI wave of melted ice B...
No Bond film is without its pleasures, but Brosnan's third time comes close. It doesn't help that several elements - 007 being wounded in the opening, a past foe of M's stepping out of the shadows - would all be handled better in Skyfall. Mostly, the movie just feels plodding, both an unfortunate showcase for the series' most adolescent tendencies ...
The Man With the Golden Gun, Roger Moore's second outing as James Bond, isn't just a low point for its star but the series as a whole. It's a nearly joyless affair watching 007 careen from Beirut to Macau, from Hong Kong to an island showdown with the three-nippled hitman Francisco Scaramanga, played by a woefully wasted Christopher Lee. Fantasy Is...
Sending Bond to Vegas should lead to firecracker results, but aside from a killer theme sung by Bond chanteuse Shirley Bassey, this is mostly a stinker. Connery returned for a then-record $1.25 million salary after the box office disappointment of George Lazenby's one-and-done On Her Majesty's Secret Service.Overall, it's one of the most stupidly g...
All Bond movies are reflections of the cinematic landscape in which they're released, so it's not a surprise the MCU's trend of focusing on an over-arching narrative rather than the film at hand would wind up influencing 007. Blofeld has been Thanos-ing long before Josh Brolin snapped his purple fingers, yet his re-emergence here feels hackneyed. T...
007 stumbled into the 1980s with this attempt to transplant Moore's Bond into a gritty throwback to the serious-minded thrills of From Russia With Love. Somehow, that attempt still involves an ice rink battle with a hockey team, a bizarre cameo from a Margaret Thatcher impersonator, and an opening confrontation between Bond and an uncredited Blofel...
Moore's tenure as 007 was mostly notable for its goofiness, but his final film as James Bond is mostly a staid-to-the-point-of-boring affair. There's the occasional oddity - a ski chase scored to the Beach Boys' "California Girls," or a woman in a jacuzzi saying, "The bubbles tickle my Tchaikovsky." Mostly though, View to a Kill, Moore's least favo...
Were it not for a series of legal disputes beginning shortly after the 1961 publication of Ian Fleming's novel, Thunderball would have been the first entry in the Bond series. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, as after the remarkably sure-footed debut of 1962's Dr. No and the innovations and evolutions of From Russia With Love and Goldfinger, Thun...
The latest 007 adventure, Daniel Craig's final Bond movie, wants to do a lot in its near-three-hour runtime. It wants to mine the emotion of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the first outing to give its hero a soul, as evidenced by the callbacks to that entry. It wants to tie up the loose ends of Spectre, a task probably better left alone, but one ...
Often touted as one of the worst entries, Moonraker is at least memorable for its pre-credits skydiving sequence - one of the best stunts in the entire franchise - and for its final act, which improbably sends Bond to space. It's the film's middle hour which is the most difficult to get through, as Bond contends with Michael Lonsdale's villain, Dra...
A comprehensive ranking of the 25 official Eon produced Bond films, from the worst Die Another Day to the best Skyfall. Find out why No Time to Die is not included and how the series evolved from Connery to Craig.

- 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (1977) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 82% Universally heralded as the best of Moore's Bond movies, The Spy Who Loved Me presented a riveting, globe-trotting adventure as 007 investigates missing submarines carrying nuclear warheads.
- 'On Her Majesty’s Secret Service' (1969) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 81% Marking Australian actor George Lazenby's only appearance as Bond, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is an often-overlooked addition to the franchise.
- 'GoldenEye' (1995) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 80% While some of his ensuing films were lackluster, to say the least, Pierce Brosnan's long-awaited Bond movie debut breathed new life into the franchise which many thought would become obsolete after the resolution of the Cold War.
- 'Licence to Kill' (1989) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 79% Timothy Dalton's second Bond film delved even deeper into the character's dark intensity which made his portrayal of the character so unique.
May 30, 2024 · Entertainment Weekly revisits the iconic espionage franchise and ranks the 25 films from Sean Connery's Dr. No to Daniel Craig's No Time to Die. See the list, the grades, the theme songs, and the fun facts for each movie.

- On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Bond fans have had all the time in the world to reappraise On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – well, half a century at least – and across the years the popular consensus on George Lazenby’s sole outing as agent 007 has radically transformed.
- Casino Royale. It's a tight contest between this and Skyfall for Daniel Craig’s best, but the impact that Casino Royale had on release in 2006 marks it out as the more important movie, the one which absolutely defined Craig's era as 007.
- From Russia With Love. It’s controversial perhaps to place Sean Connery’s second Bond film above the film which followed, but From Russia with Love is just that little bit tighter, sharper and more thrilling than Goldfinger – a taut Cold War thriller packed with intrigue, glamour and some truly electrifying action scenes.
- Goldfinger. The extravagant pre-titles sequence, the outlandish henchman (Harold Sakata’s near-mute, deadly Oddjob), the Bond girl with the highly suggestive moniker (Honor Blackman’s no-nonsense pilot Pussy Galore), the belting theme song (an all-time great from Shirley Bassey), the gadget-laden car (and the Q's lab scenes which introduced them), the convoluted methods of torture, even 007 toying with his nemesis as part of an apparently amicable game… 1964’s Goldfinger might not be the all-time best Bond movie – though it’s certainly up there.
