I'd go for "Die Another Day" as well. Even the less than stellar Roger Moore Bond films (like "AVTOK") have their cheesy, OTT charm, so I can still happily enjoy them on that level. "DAD", though, was just bad, and frankly I don't think I'll ever warm to it. Thank God "Casino Royale" put things back on track .

On Her Majesty's Secret Service, without a doubt-it just didn't feel like a proper Bond movie. To me Lazenby as Bond was the same as watching David Shwimmer as Indiana Jones
???? DAD and AVTAK??? are you serious? DAD was one of pierces best next to tomorrow never dies, Rogers, worst one would have to be octopussy,
The bond movies need things in it to make them great, a big base to be stormed an blown up, humor, and the classic opening
also a world domination scheme, or something to threaten the world or country
Yea Die another Day was one of Pierce's best.......WTF ?!?
I'm with Darth Martin on this, It is good watching it if you just want a bond movie but when you stack it up against the other ones that Pierce Brosnan has done its noting special.
I think that the legend that is Roger Moore summed it up best. When asked what he thought of "DAD", he replied: "In truth, I thought it just went too far. And that’s from me - the first Bond in space!"

yeah, how about naming Moonraker as one of the worst movies??

Moonraker and Die Another Day ... even though many others are 'bad'... these two take the cake for sheer cheesiness that made me ashamed to be a Bond fan upon viewing

Well ... just because a film isn't very good doesn't mean that it can't be fun. I'd much rather watch "Moonraker", with its enjoyably ridiculous space lasers, gondola hovercrafts, and double-take pigeons, than "DAD", with its hammy acting and dodgy CGI. And, in any case, there are some genuinely entertaining moments in "Moonraker" that people often forget about, like the boat chase, and Bond getting pushed out of a plane without a parachute ...
But, different strokes for different folks I guess ...

Hmmm... I cried when I saw Quantum of Solace. It wasn't that it was bad per se, it was just... choppy. And disconnected. Quoting a friend of mine, any Bond movies after the Bourne movies have just been, um, well, Bourne movies. ^__^;;;
