I'm gonna support Zilla for Salvation. Dr. No ain't spectacular. I, too, shall vote for Terminator Salvation. It’s underrated. |

The fact that this is shaping up as "close" is insane. Dr. No is the iconic start of a franchise that still endures and, despite its age, still holds its own among the best. Terminator Salvation is yet another middling Tetminator sequel. I agree that it isn't as bad as the reputation it gets, but being better than T3 doesn't make it good.

I could play it safe and say Dr. No, but the truth is, I think it's a rather mediocre start to the Bond franchise that has very little energy to it and while I can't really call Terminator: Salvation good either, the truth is I'd rather watch it again than Dr. No.
So, Terminator: Salvation.

I enjoy Dr. No quite a bit. The opening is really weird, but otherwise its chock full of what will become tropes, and its one of the better early bonds.

Dr. No is my favorite Bond movie. Terminator: Salvation is boring garbage.
My vote still goes to Terminator though.

Appreciate the honesty. And the fact that this match is somewhat of a close one.

You guys are voting for a movie made by McG.
McG! Imagine how much of a douche that guy is just based on the fact he makes people call him that!

Return of the Jedi (even I have my limits when it comes to which Bond movies I'll defend)
The Man with the Golden Gun (those limits do not, however, extend to not defending a movie as fun as TMWTGG when paired up with something as soulless as Jurassic World)
