As the Bond series moved deeper into the 1970s, the emphasis moved away from the inventive scripts that made the best Sean Connery films fine examples of the spy genre and toward the kind of feats of daring and visual spectacle.

As always, story and plastic character are in the service of comic strip parody.

... the first truly original Bond movie, this one is actually more tightly constructed than several of the adaptations and remains consistently surprising and witty.

This is near-camp and its success sent a strong message to its producers about what audiences wanted to see: Bigger, bolder, louder, sexier.

The film has its moments -- Kiel's indestructible heavy racks up a good score -- but the rest is desperately weak.

The film moves along at a serviceable clip, but it seems half an hour too long.

One of the best of the Moore Bonds, this is non-stop, gloriously excessive entertainment.

Not only Roger Moore's best, but one of the few Bond films that can stand apart from the series as a superb action movie.
