we all know On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the worse one but which do you think is the 2nd worse?
i would toss up between the living daylights, tommorow never dies and for your eyes only.
p.s if the new one has anything to do with the middle east (iraq iran places like that) it automatically becomes the worst one ever
I didn't Mind On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Some of those Tim Dalton ones would be worse I reckon.

I did multimedia this year and it was a year 12 subject and did a massive website on James Bond (A+ too btw :cool: ). From all the professional sites i saw George Lazenby (Who played Bond in Her Majesties Secret Service) at the time was said by many that he COULD be the best Bond of all time. They changed the structure around a little bit in Her Majesties secret service in that it wasnt the normal plot of world domination that was usually seen but was regarded still by many one of the best in the series.
Connery WAS Bond though. Everyone had known he was James Bond for years and it was incredibly difficult for someone else to come in and try and fill the shoes of Connery seeing as he had that job for so long.
His performance was so good Lazenby was offered a 7 movie deal afterwards but found the pressure was too much and thought that the Bond films would die out soon. He also didnt get along with the Director but the Producers loved him.
Sigh. Have you even seen Her Majesties Secret Service Big Sav?

yes i have and i know they wanted something different and less gadgets and stuff like that but still i guess becuase it was the first non-connery bond and an aussie instead of european i didnt like it much but it was still not as good as the connery ones and first few moore ones

btw what was your website or was it just a class thing done on netscape?
OHMSS is my second favourite! After Goldfinger.
I'd say Never Say Never Again is the worst. The Connery 'comeback' that kind of wasn't an official Bond movie... or A View To A Kill, with scary Grace Jones as the bad girl. Top soundtrack though.

OHMSS' single biggest failing is Lazenby's accent. When he is overdubbed by George Baker later in the film, he fits the role beautifully. Definitely the most underrated Bond flick of them all.
Most of Moore's outings are rather forgettable.

You just did a complete backflip in opinion. Your saying now it wasnt the worst but started the thread as saying its easily the worst and it was so bad that it wasnt even up for discussion. I dont want to bitch but the way you did the post is stupid.
I have the website on disc but i havent uploaded it to the internet. I could but its pretty big and has alot of audio and video in it and i dont think i could host it. Its better than most of the Bond sites i found on the internet though.
