We love to quibble about who best donned 007's tuxedo—whether your choice is Sean Connery,Daniel Craig, or yes, even Timothy Dalton—but we all have a favorite James Bond movie. The franchise has varied wildly over the last six decades, from 1962'sDr. No to 2021's No Time to Die, and our personal preferences for Bond portrayer, tone, style, and Bond girl has a lot to do with which of these films ends up on our best of list. But what about the worst James Bond movies? The question is subjective, of course—and we could spend the rest of the day debating it—but we can at least consult the reviews to find out the critical consensus by identifying the lowest-rated films in the series.
We consulted review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, which ranked every Bond film, and then focused on the bottom of the list to find the movies that got the most savage pans. Read on to discover which James Bond movies critics hated the most.
