Octopussy: I’ve been waiting to rewatch this, ’cause i remember liking this as a kid, and even though i dislike Roger Moore and his dumb jokes, this was surprisingly entertaining. Lots of real animals - yay and yikes, the crocodile submarine, women actually being very badass, the circular saw. Cool.

For your eyes only: this film didn’t make me much sense, I got distracted to learn both baccarat and shorthand and I had to check wikipedia plot to keep track. Bad man threw a motorbike at Bond. I actually liked the vengeful lady, she’s badass. The scater being in love with Bond was uncomfortable.

They’re the same person.

Moonraker: This might me my favorite bond villain so far, very polite. He resembles this one villain from the How to train your dragon TV series. Otherwise his motives were pretty similar to the previous film. In stead of sea we just got space city. And they brought Jaws to space too. That was nice.

The spy who loved me: quite amusing, the villain motives are ever so silly: the fish lover rich man wants to force the world join him under the sea by nuclear weapons. Sure. There were sharks. And Jaws. Biting people. And a shark. And the lady went to Sardinia and decided to wear a beanie.

The man with the golden gun: This was a bit bland film despite having Christopher Lee as an antagonist. He was charming though, devotee of solar power.

Live and let die: certainly problematic film today, but there are some good things: love the song and intro, and I do have a soft spot for crocodiles. The laughing voodoo man was cool. The lose virginity - lose magic thing made me recoil though, it made Bond feel much more predatory than previously.

Diamonds are forever: These films amaze me with their creativeness of the chase and close combat scenes. This one served us the dumbest chase sequence with a super slow moon rover while the chasers with normal cars just drove to a ditch one by one. I liked how the elevator fight scene was filmed.

It brings me joy and hope though, how shitty the visual effects used to be almost 60 years ago, and this was a 10 million dollar film. Just proves how storytelling and immersion can also be achieved with a poor technique.

On her majesty’s secret service: 50mins in and I still didn’t understand the plot between all the fighting and flirting. Again too long for my taste, had to split in two to finish it, but the ending was refreshingly bittersweet for once. Introduced the newest Bond gadget: the photocopy machine.

You only live twice: Unfortunately the only good thing about this film is the opening credit song and the music. This was an uncomfortable watch. At least this time Bond let them get rescued at the end. That one ninja with the katana was kinda cool. The bad man shot a gun and the cat got startled :(

Thunderball: i used to mix this film up with some other film with space things, but this was just two stolen atomic bombs and a lot of fighting under water. I feel sad about the shark they maybe actually killed during the filming. This was too long and i had to sleep over night to finish it.

Goldfinger: This is apparently considered one of the best bond films, and while the villain plot of poisoning the state gold is kinda amusing, i felt this was a bit boring at times. Did not enjoy how rapey and misogynist Bond is in this one. Pussy Galore should have stayed immune to his ”charm”.

From Russia with love: This is the stupidest premise ever that was only supported by ”the british taking traps as challenges”. It kept me engaged though i had to remind myself that yes, the mission was to go see what’s the deal with the random russian gal who ”fell in love” with his photograph.

Dr No: I loved the stupid dragon tank. It was so unnecessary and random. Bond’s sexism annoys me a lot more than what it used to. Someone in letterboxd reminded me of the shot of a blood patch on the carpet with the voice over ”that’s a blood patch” and that was funny. I cringed at the ending.
