All 27 James Bond movies ranked, according to critics

007 fans, rejoice: Every film starring the world's most famous spy is finally streaming in one place, the franchise's new home, Amazon.

Wilson had been involved with Eon Productions, the original studio behind "Bond," since 1972, and Broccoli's family had cinematic stewardship of the franchise since it began in 1962.

Amazon officially acquired MGM in 2022, but the studio hasn't produced any 007 content since then; it hasn't even picked a successor to Daniel Craig after his 2021 exit.

In honor of the new James Bond, who's hopefully coming our way soon, we used Rotten Tomatoes to see how all 27 films in this storied franchise stack up, according to critics.

This version of "Casino Royale" is a parody of spy films, rather than a straightforward Bond caper. It's also one of two films about James Bond that wasn't produced by Eon Productions.

"Unfortunately, after the introductory sequences, 'Casino Royale' begins a downhill slide. It gets progressively sillier and more incoherent until it's impossible to keep any of the plot elements straight. Worse, with only occasional exceptions, the humor ceases to be funny, and the whole production degenerates into absurdity," wrote James Berardinelli of ReelViews.

The film sees Bond travel to San Francisco to save Silicon Valley from a former KGB agent played by Christopher Walken. His bodyguard and lover, May Day, was notably played by Grace Jones.

"It's not double-oh-seven anymore, but double-oh-seventy, the best argument yet for the mandatory retirement age," wrote The Washington Post's Paul Attanasio.

Bond and Scaramanga engage in a game of cat-and-mouse for much of the movie, as no one knows what Scaramanga looks like, outside the fact that he has a third nipple.

The two form an uneasy alliance to defeat an exiled Afghan prince, Kamal Khan, played by Louis Jourdan.

Bond shares the screen with an American nuclear physicist named Dr. Christmas Jones. Equally improbable, she's played by Denise Richards. His other female costar is Elektra King, an oil heiress played by Sophie Marceau.

"What do the James Bond series, the Chicago Cubs, and Master P's No Limit empire have in common? All owe their considerable commercial success more to loyalty, marketing, and tradition than to quality," wrote Nathan Rabin for the AV Club.
