Every Non-Ian Fleming James Bond Movie, Ranked Worst To Best

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite creating the character and the novels on which the movies are based, not every James Bond film follows author Ian Fleming's original stories. After writing 14 James Bond books – including two volumes of collected short stories – Fleming certainly left a lot of inspirational material as his legacy.

8 Quantum of Solace Rotten Tomatoes – 64% Close With a name derived from a legal dispute over the rights to Fleming's notorious S.P.E.C.T.R.E creation, Quantum of Solace was always going to struggle to live up to the legacy of classic Bond films. Despite following in the footsteps of Daniel Craig's acclaimed debut, the 2008 movie couldn't recapture Casino Royale's magic. The end result was a movie that, for all its visual panache, was as messy and unwieldy as its title.

6 Tomorrow Never Dies Rotten Tomatoes – 57% Close Although the movie's aggregate Rotten Tomatoes score places it in the bottom tier of James Bond movies, Tomorrow Never Dies has arguably improved with age thanks to its surprisingly prescient plot. Instead of facing off against a villain armed with an unlikely doomsday device, Bond's enemy in Tomorrow Never Dies is media mogul Elliot Carver – a terrifying figure whose ability to manipulate world events feels all-too believable.

4 No Time To Die Rotten Tomatoes – 83% Close Although No Time To Die will always be seen as a controversial entry, its bold decision to kill James Bond has undoubtedly earned the film a place in the franchise's history. However, beyond Bond's poignant death, the movie has many other positive qualities. Lashana Lynch and Ana de Armas rank among the series' most memorable characters, while director Cary Joji Fukunaga shoots the film's impressive action sequences with genuine style.
