1. Spectre
Objectively speaking, this is not nearly as bad a film as several on this list. It’s well shot, the action sequences are pretty decent, and the cast gives solid performances for the most part. However, this film receives this dubious honor for one simple reason. The script. This is one of the most tragic train wrecks of a screenplay I’ve ever seen for a big budget movie. It Lazily attempts to weave together 9 years of this fantastic, revisionist take on James Bond, without having any proper ideas of how to make the connections make sense. It’s a film that merely expects you to believe plots were connected “because they were.” In the meantime, Daniel Craig, while not bad in the film, seems utterly bored as director Sam Mendes attempts to bring some of the more humorous Bond elements roaring back. It just doesn’t fit. After the limitless potential that Skyfall established for this franchise, Spectre bulldozes it all. It commits utter character assignation upon all of the Craig era players, and ends on a note that ensures that any return for arguably the best James Bond ever will be very tainted indeed.
