Summary: It falls somewhere in the middle.
An average Bond film; not up to "Goldfinger", but definitely superior to "Dr.No" or "Diamonds are
Forever". This one goes through the motions and so does Connery, but he is strangely likable anyway.
The direction has no energy whatsoever, although it provides a couple of good fight sequences. As a
whole, passable entertainment.
