Thoughts
Another strong title in the franchise.
It had pretty much everything I wanted: Connery being badass, lots of scantily-clad ladies (this time mostly Asian), funny MI6 scenes, cool action, ambitious super-villains, ridiculously elaborate lairs, and memorable moments. My favorite part was the great helicopter dogfight, thanks to the Q's upgrades. Somehow, nobody spoiled the fact that it contained ninjas!
Apparently, this was the first time Blofeld was seen onscreen, and he did not disappoint. In fact, I loved the famous underground volcano super headquarters. The only drawback was that I watched it post-Austin Powers, so the spot-on parodies added unintentional comedy.
Aside from some of the obviously outdated visual effects, this was a very enjoyable Bond flick, and one of Connery's best.
What I would change
Nothing.
