| Favourite line: | None worth mentioning |
One of my least favourites, although many consider this a fine Bond movie.
Connery is staying at a health resort, undercover, spying on a suspicious individual believed to be part of SPECTRE. Indeed he is, and Bond's activities lead him to uncover a plot to detonate nuclear warheads both in Britain and America, stolen from a bomber that SPECTRE has been holding to ransom.
It's ok, I suppose, but the movie is killed by the underwater sequences. It was a bold move to attempt it, but they are paralysingly slow. I understand that this was an attempt at realism, but Jesus Christ it's dull.
Not one of my favourites.
