I hope to determine the best and the worst of these elements in the final article.

I will conclude with an article that will also break down and rank all of the elements of the James Bond movie: the pre-title sequence, the opening title sequence, the theme song, the Bond girl, the villain, and the henchmen. I plan on reviewing and ranking each of the films in a series of articles broken down by one or two different eras at a time, totaling 5-7 films each. Seven men have portrayed the character since 1962. There are 25 films in the franchise, 17 of them are based on Fleming’s stories and novels. Two of those are short story collections. Fleming wrote 14 books starring the character Commander James Bond of Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the 007 franchise based on and inspired by the novels by Ian Fleming.
