RunPee James Bond Hub
Let's face it, the man's an icon. Since the mid-fifties, when the original novel was written, James Bond has been the epitome of cool, class, and creepiness, depending on when you want to look at him. Over the years he's spawned copycats, clones, and parodies. If you want to kill an hour or two, just gather three or four people together and say, "Alright then, who do you think is the best Bond?"
While you may be able to decide on the best one, I can guarantee you'll struggle to get a matched top five.
And, several weeks later, when you've sorted that argument out, you can start another one going with, "Now…who do you think will be the next Bond?"
So, with the minimum of bias, here's a rundown of the James Bond films up to 2021's No Time To Die, with Bond spoofs, copies, and non-canon 007 films. To try and save any accusations of prejudice I've arranged them in chronological order.
Note: we're still diligently adding reviews to this hub. Any time we publish a new one, we'll add the link here.
