If I'm not mistaken, it is the most succesfull James Bond movie with Roger Moore and the most succesfull James Bond movie until the Pierce Brosnan period so it is quite an achievement. I'm not a big fan of Roger Moore but he delivers a competent performance, as usual. The whole space aspect was something really hype back then and the audience must has been quite blown away. I wasn't really impress... read more
Typische Bond-film met de nodige actie. De pogingen om meer humor in de franchise te stoppen, zijn niet altijd even geslaagd te noemen. Daarenboven voelt de film zeer gedateerd aan, mede door de vele oubollige speciale effecten.

The Ups: Sexy Corinne Clery. Richard Kiel steals the movie even if he is laughably "unkillable" here. Great production values. The title song.
The Downs: Hugo Drax is a boring villain as Michael Lonsdale doesn't seem remotely interested. Love interest Goodhead have a fun name but is forgettable. Stupid laser effects. Laughable fight with a rubber snake. "

Rewatch for this too. Richard Kiel is back just because and little makes sense. It's still better paced and structured than something like The Man with the Golden Gun, which while being entertaining, kinda went on for a comedy-side in all what was going on. And unlike the two earlier Moore's, the more boring parts are reduced to the beginning and the ending battle - which is exactly the same with The Spy Who Loved Me, but with lasers instead of machine guns - is pretty hilarious.

"In the 70's, space and space related films, were huge, really huge.
So.... Let's put James Bond, in space!
There is only a few Bond films, that I don't like, this is one of them."

Tämä on täyttä komediapelleilyä koko elokuva. Kaikki vedetään perseelleen ja miksi ihmeessä Jaws on pitänyt ottaa tähänkin mukaan. Edellisessä elokuvassa hahmo nyt jotenkin toimi, mutta tässä ei olleenkaan. Saattaa olla peräti huonoin Jameksesta kertova elokuva. Oli muuten viimeinen, jossa Bernard Lee esittää Bondin pomoa.
