You Only Live Twice Lewis Gilbert 1967 Action / James Bond

The definition of 'developing fast reflex actions' and 'spiritual strength' is me mashing the 10 as soon as I am shown a ninja training school in a Bond movie. Now they immediately make me question those reflexes when they…transform…Bond, but I gotta go with my gut.

Thunderball Terence Young 1965 Action / James Bond

I'm a simple man. You give me a pre-opening credits jetpack escape, your film gets a 10. Then you give me Bond looking like a more scantily-clad Britney in “Oops I Did It Again” in a harpoon fight climax? Why did people even try to make films after this?

From Russia with Love Terence Young 1963 Action / James Bond

This silken blonde baddy really ditched getting lathered with sunscreen at the lakeside villain boot camp to go die on a train. It really makes you wonder what it's all for.

Dr. No Terence Young 1962 Action / James Bond

I don't think any exchange can better serve as thesis for this franchise than: BOND: It's throwing the gyroscopic controls of a guided missile off-balance with a radio beam or something, isn't it? M: More or less.
