This certainly has all the elements for a great Bond film but despite some memorable moments, it gets pretty boring and feels very long
A lot of scenes are fairly pointless and it's really a plot by numbers at times. Bond finds this clue then onto the next scene and so on, with the film never really settling down. It'd probably have to rate as one of the noisiest early bonds too with lots of ridiculously loud scenes
As normal it's great in a retro way, with lots of interesting gadgets making for some great sound effects. The underwater propulsion vehicles sound particularly brilliant
For underwater action though I prefer 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. 'Dr No' wins out on the beach theme with a superior Bond girl. 'Live and Let Die' is better for a Caribbean flavour etc
Overall not one of my favourite Bonds, and not the franchises finest hour
