Best Bond Film submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on July 19, 2023, 10:07am At least in my opinion (though Craig’s Casino Royale is a strong contender). This one focused more on espionage and subtlety than any other Bond movie, without going into nuclear plots or the crazy sci-fi in later films. Even the first film, Dr No, had a secret evil lair and a villain with bionic hands. In this the villains’ plot is to destabilize an area already on shaky ground during the Cold War. They play both sides against each other to steal a decoding device. That’s almost sounds like something an organization could do. And after years of the franchise trying to make an “evil bond” style villain, Red Grant, played by Robert Shaw is the best they’ve ever done. He’s quiet, effective, cunning, always a step ahead of even Bond.
