If you need an example of an Ur-Bond Film that checks every single item on the list of typical Bond stuff, this is it. A patchwork of unoriginality, unlikely situations and blatant misogyny. The Japanese marriage subplot is shamefully bad.

The quintessential James Bond movie! Complete with Hollowed out volcano, cat-stroking Blofelt, piranhas, ninjas, weird gadgets, cheesy one-liners and (for better or worse) possibly the most misogynistic hero in movie history.

The Bond saga at its most expensive and expansive, full of local colour and in-jokes, with an enormously impressive set for the climactic action.

bond is definately at top form here, it's got everything you want in a bond movie, and is definately well done. from the start it does it's job to engage and entertain the viewer, and aside from a little slacking in the middle sustains that engagement the entire duration. it finishes off strong with a great finale and doesnt dawdle after the action has stopped.

JB goes space-side. Getting a bit silly now, but good fun.

Although it's readily apparent that Connery was fast becoming tired of the James Bond series by this point, this colorful adventure is far from the worst in the group. This is even more episodic than usual but is worth seeing for the great (and vastly underrated) Nancy Sinatra theme song and outstanding supporting cast. Lovely costars Hama and Wakabayashi originally appeared together in _King Kong vs. Godzilla_; villainess Dor was a big star in her German homeland
