The nadir of the franchise. Invisible car, tsunami surfing, ice palace, and a villain who changes faces with gene therapy. It nearly killed the series. 24. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974): A waste of Christopher Lee as Scaramanga. The film is boring until the funhouse duel at the end. Also, the "slide whistle" over a car jump is unforgivable. 25. Spectre (2015) & No Time to Die (2021): Placed here due to narrative bloat. Spectre revealed a ridiculous "architect of all pain" retcon, while No Time to Die is overly long and sentimental. High production value, weak scripts.
Based on critical consensus and cultural impact, these films stand at the pinnacle of the franchise. index of james bond top
