Bond killed only one person until end.
Newer films eschew character development, purely spectacle.

A little slow but still classic
The underwater scenes aren't that bad
Sharks should've had laser beams on heads
Great villains: Largo, Blofeld, Fiona

Volpe, why'd you have to be evil?
Pretty lame pre-title sequence, but good film.

2. SPECTRE steals atomic bombs, threatens West.
3. Eye-patched villain, femme fatale threaten Bond.
4. I think he got the point.
5. Blofeld burgles, buries bombs among Bahamas bikinis.
6. Auger, Paluzzi, Peters, Beswick send pulses racing.
7. Jet pack, water fights, swimming with sharks.
8. Bondmania at its epic best.

You Only Live Twice still to go.
Tom Jones sang us the title tune,
Ian Fleming left us much too soon.
