I'm not going to give this a rating because I am fully aware I am not the audience for this. I have enjoyed many Bond movies in the past though even the ones I enjoyed as a kid don't do much for me now.
So I'm logging that I watched it and was bored shitless from start to finish. I find these movies unbearably dull. There are many good reviews on here from fans who appreciate it, though, and I…
This is a delightfully silly movie. While filled with unrealistic setups, the most unrealistic of all was Van Heflin not falling head over heels in love with Garland the second he saw her. From the moment she descended the stairs in the opening minutes, I was weak in the knees.
If I was going on the visual beauty and the thematic context of creation, it would get 5 stars.
If I was going with characters doing laughably stupid things - REPEATEDLY - for clearly no other reason than obvious setups for horror, I would give it 2, maybe 2 1/2 stars.
So I'll meet it in the middle and give it 4 stars but, jfc, does this movie waste practically all of its characters.
