This is the weakest Bond film in the Roger Moore era by a long shot, but it is definitely leaps and bounds better than Connery's weakest (Thunderball).

The weaknesses in this film do lie at Richard Maibaum's feet as he tried his hardest to turn Roger Moore into Sean Connery, but Roger Moore looked visually uncomfortable at times, especially during the scene when he had to slap Maud Adams around. But Christopher Lee does his best to save this film as he seems to be having a lot of fun in every scene he appears.

The Bond Girl, Mary Goodnight, is the worst I've ever seen as Mary Goodnight has no reason for being as stupid as she is due to her being an MI6 agent.

Also, the theme song is one of the worst I have ever heard as the hard sound doesn't go well with Lulu's vocals and almost makes me think Lulu can't sing when she was probably a fairly talented singer.
