Besides the Bus chase and the Boat chase scene...there really isnt a lot of reason for anyone to wanna watch this film. Its a rather dark film and never has any uplifting moments. Yaphet kotto and Julius harris make pretty good villians but that is hardly a great reason to sit through this....and the now ritual pre credit action scene is absent here. In its place is a Story set up which is hardly interesting.
Although oddly enough, I would still watch this one, over the Campy DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER and the almost pointless THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN. Roger moore breaks into the bond role rather well, though one scene where he threatens to shoot rosie carver if she doesnt give information..(which leads the poor girl scurrying to her death)..turned me off him a Bit.
Film does boast the usually bond imagination...like the leap over the crocodiles...Bonds air pellet gun....and kanaga's inflatable death.But all in all,The later moore films, like Octopussy and For your eyes only, had moore the way he should have played it..in a more Jokey way...cause it seemed to suit him Best
All in all.....6 out of 10
