Story summary
- The James Bond franchise spans 60-plus years. Success hinges on action and villains, not actors.
- Sean Connery's Diamonds Are Forever ranks as his weakest Bond film due to bland action and a dull villain.
- Roger Moore's Octopussy draws criticism for a weak villain and Moore's aging.
- Daniel Craig's Quantum of Solace suffered from a rushed production and lack of coherence.
