    The crime plot doesn't matter much but I love seeing David McCallum's lip quiver as he looks at another man's mouth. Someone help him.

    As an actual movie it's about 2 stars, on the Lena Fandom Scale it's about 3 1/2.

    I don't know why this keeps happening but even when I'm ENJOYING a Bond film and eager to go along for the ride it seems to stagnate and go on. While not a spy thriller, the offbeat humor and even Connery's performance as a depressed Bond after he finally gets revenge lend a unique feel to this one. And then it does nothing for an hour. And then when Blofeld comes back, instead of pushing Bond into another blaze of fury (destructive but fun) they kind of just mumble around for a bit. I'd certainly watch it again but it is TOO LONG.

    Fairly bloated but a good forty minutes of this are incredible.

    Every Avengers girl should have been Bond.

    Maybe if the sharks had had freakin' lasers attached to their heads.

    No one can beat Connery in the man thigh game. This movie is a plea to bring back slutty swim shorts.

    It's not necessarily better than the Alexander-the-Greater Affair but it is awkwardly sluttier.
