 2.5/4 |
A diverting but typically silly Roger Moore entry in the Bond canon. [Blu-ray] Full Review |

Even the theme song sung by Lulu is a real lulu. Full Review |
||
|
|
Roger Moore is a pastry chef's idea of James Bond; but Christopher Lee as the archetype of the evil antagonist makes this 007 outing just about bearable. Full Review |
||
|
|
The best Bonds, like the car that twirls, were sly without quite getting silly. The best Bonds also had Sean Connery, whose absence is sorely felt here. Full Review |

|
|
It is proof that exotic locations, girls, one-liners and a couple of car chases don't necessarily add up to a decent Bond film. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Roger Moore's Bond has got a rough deal over the year, but whilst this takes itself a little too lightly it has a lot going for it. Full Review |
||
|
|
The comparatively spare arrays of mechanical devices seem more a cost-cutting factor. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
Screenwriters Maibaum and Mankiewicz attempted to downplay the gadgetry this time around, but their attempts at adding more humor hinder plot development. Full Review |

Weak but Christopher Lee is great Full Review |

You cast Christopher Lee as a Bond villain and you find a way to blow it?!

|
3.5/5 |
It's all gaudily good, right down to Hervé Villechaize(!), bikini-clad Britt Ekland, and the inimitable Clifton James as the vacationing Sheriff J.W. Pepper. Full Review |

Roger Moore's interpretation of Bond is blandness personified. Full Review |

Bond versus Herve and Dracula. How can such a thing possibly be disliked?
