There are absolutely times when I'm in the mood to watch Moonraker instead of From Russia With Love.

I mean not MANY times... but it's happened!

I'm not sure why people say the last good bond movie was 20 years ago. Skyfall from 2012 is a pretty good movie and almost certainly a top-10 bond movie or all-time.

Craig's top-2 bond movies were certainly better than Brosnan's top-2, or Hutton's (yeah, I know he was only in 2), and Moore's.

I mean you’re entitled to your own opinion and all that, but I wouldn't say any of Craig's movies are worth putting in the top half of the franchise. They all had this monkeys-paw thing going on where individually strong elements were anchored by terribly bad plot/character choices. Casino had a great villain but wasted way too much time on the poker scene, Quantum had possibly the greatest character development of a Bond film but had a lousy villain and evil scheme, Skyfall's first half was the best we've seen of Craig only to devolve into "he wants to get caught" meets Home Alone, Spectre was so forgettable that the most memorable character was the henchman without any lines, and No Time to Die dragged out the plot to the point where you only figure out what the scheme was like 3/4ers of the way through the movie.
