These old Bond films just do not hold up well. Sean Connery's one-liners never get old, but good god the pacing is horrendously slow and action is repetitive. The Connery Bond films are just, SET PIECES: THE MOVIE. If have to watch one more blast door or rocket silo open, I'm gonna Xenia an Onatopp.

Ahh, here's the serious Bond film. I mean, at least compared to the 1967 version of Casino Royale (out months before) this is as realistic as possible. Honestly, I was a little surprised with how into the movie I was this time. I feel like this has always been one that I don't have many serious problems with, but at the same time it isn't something I feel the need to catch all the time. But this viewing was different, I was into it all. I wish Connery was happier to be in this, but otherwise I don't have major complaints. The helicopter fights, the ninja fights, the space scenes, the sumo fights... all pretty damn entertaining.

The best Bond, Connery, fighting with Spectra in Japan, has everything to like
