As the title says, I do not care much for 007 Goldfinger. It’s not awful, better than like Thunderball, but it’s a very strange film. It’s got this weird car crusher scene, James does like nothing in the third act, and he’s a freakin creep. I mean, more than usual. He gets so freaking lucky, again, more than usual. I do like Goldfinger as a villian, and Oddjob is pretty cool. But I just think this movie has a very weird tone and at the same time, is kind of bland.

Bonus opinion: I really like On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The tone and atmosphere are top notch, and I really like George Lazenby as James.

    Goldeneye is definitely one of the best.
    But I do like casino royale and skyfall a lot. They work, in my opinion, because they tell much more personal stories and have less classic spy-action.

      I don’t think I have seen Skyfall, but I remember watching Casino Royale and thinking ‘Why did this have to be James Bond though?’ It felt like a liability more than anything.

        I mean, I agree, that the story would also work within a different franchise but Craig-Bond still works well, imo. At least in Casino Royale and Skyfall.
