SPECTRE sets a trap for James Bond.

It's not fun enough. The action scenes are bad and go on too long. It doesn't have the great sense of style that Dr. No has. On the other hand, it also doesn't have any of the story problems that Dr. No has.

Rating: 4.5* of five

It's the 1963 movie with Sean Connery that I'm rating. I tried reading Casino Royale recently, and found it dated and even more sexist and racist than I was expecting. I'll stick to the movies. Connery's nice to look at. The gadgets are hilarious, and so is Q. The theme songs are great. ( )
