| Description: | When SPECTRE steals two nuclear bombs for a massive extortion scheme, agent 007 is sent in to find them before they can be used. | Comments: | Leonard Maltin is right. This one bogs down, especially underwater, yet it remains my choice as the ultimate Bond movie. It was, in many respects, the first "epic" entry in the series, not only because of its phenomenal success at the box-office (when inflation is taken into account, it remains, as the tagline states, "The Biggest Bond of All"), but for its complicated plot and tremendous underwater action scenes (that make the ones in the remake, "Never Say Never Again," look like something done in a bathtub). The dialogue is some of the wittiest in the series ("Some men don't like to be driven," Fiona tells Bond while she gives him a lift in her car. "Some men don't like to be taken for a ride," Bond retorts), and even the character of Felix Leiter seems, for once, to exist for something more than to be impressed with 007's way with the women. And, for the record, the poster (the original one-sheet, not the door panels represented here) is the best of pack. | Languages: | English | Subtitles: | Length: | 130 | Video format: | DivX 3.11 Low Motion | Audio format: | MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) | Resolution: | 704x416 | Files sizes: | 898 |
