We have here the ultimate 007 film. This one not only has the aspects that make 007 films great: beautiful scenery, exotic settings, beautiful women, wit, non stop action, adventure, gadgets, etc., but it also has an epic story, the best of all the Bond films. The story is a woman, who is quite capable, finds out her lover has been killed, and she vows to kill the man who killed her lover, but as the story progresses, she finds out that this man was not the devil she believed. There is, of course, the other story, of a maniac who murders his employees, and this time it's not the head of Specter. A lot of the spy work makes little sense, as does the motivation of "Jaws" (Richard Kiel), who became a fan favorite henchman. But the main story is still the first one, and that holds this together, along with all the non stop action. There is also a memorable scene where Bond thinks he is going to meet his boss, only to find someone else at the chair. This is the ultimate Bond film, and I don't believe I am alone in claiming this is the best Bond film ever made, at least up to 2023.
