Ironically, I liked both this and The Spy Who Loved Me a bit better on my most recent viewings. On the other hand, I've revised what I consider The Last Great James Bond Movie back to On Her Majesty's Secret Service...

I know this isn’t a great movie, but I always had a soft spot for this one, probably solely because of Christopher Lee. In my humble opinion, it will always be better than THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. After the most recent set of viewings, I feel like the downward slope of these movies was much more linear than I remembered from when I was a kid.

Any dullness bothers me less than the silliness, but both are in evidence during the long, mushy middle section that seemed to become an increasingly inevitable feature of Bond films, where they run out the clock with fights and/or chases but nothing really happens plotwise, as with the martial-arts school and aerial cars in this one. It seemed especially egregious in For Your Eyes Only.

While far from the worst Bond, I always found this entry rather boring.
