The best intro yet!!! The colors and graphics are so sick.
Fun spy movie that would have gotten 4 stars if hadn't neglected to name "Bond's Wife" </3

Ninjas, Spaceships, Piranhas, Helicopter battles and a secret underground volcano lair with world destruction on the line! It’s one of the more pulpy 007’s that I’ve seen, but one has to appreciate the gumption of turning the dial up to 11. The thing I appreciate about the first bond series is its capacity to take a moment to linger in its exotic locations. The beautiful establishing shots with the score echoing the mystery, romance, danger, and intrigue of a secret spy. 

My favorite opening motion graphics of the first series by far. Sick!

Like all of the Connery Bonds so far, there is fun action and spy gadget scenes. Bond uses a whole couch as a weapon for one fight and there is an impressive (for the era) helicopter combat scene. The setup, premise and storyline of this one started out being intriguing to me.

But like clockwork, there is some problematic and misogynistic stuff you kinda gotta gloss over, and YOLT is set primarily in Japan. So ya that adds a new problematic element.

Here is my list of that stuff, don’t forget to gloss over it:
- Bond makes a very rude comment to a woman who is giving him a bath and a massage
- He just forces himself on every woman within 3 seconds of meeting them
- there is a “plot” point where he has to get married to keep a disguise. And Bond is so disgusted at this he is just moping the whole time. And he and the Japanese MI6 guy just keep saying the girl has the face of a pig
- and then he has to “become Japanese” for some reason. And he does that by getting bad eye prosthetic surgery and putting on a black wig. Then he train in ninja martial arts

But the bad guy had these rail car transport things that looked just like the ones Syndrome had on his island. So that was awesome.

Really impressive from a technical standpoint for the year it was made in. Still a little underwhelmed with these older Bond movies though.

koliko lud film… 

prvo - koneri pati od ozbiljnog bolokurca za ovu ulogu i smisleno je što su ga zamenili

drugo - roald dal je pisao scenario… da, isti onaj zaslužan za “cat in the hat, “fantastic mr. fox” i druge dečije knjige

treće - naslovna pesma je sigurno jedna od boljih

četvrto - nisam ni skontao koliko je “the incredibles” inspirisan ovim filmom, od muzike do skoro pa identične baze glavnog zloće

peto - čak i pored besramnih rasističkih momenata, film je kul do pola, a onda ode dođavola (ali mi je kul da vidimo blofelda po prvi put, pokidao je)

to je to, zabavan je film, ali se i oseća prirodan kraj koneri ere bond filmova (iako me čeka još “diamonds are forever”)
