The terrorist organization known as S.P.E.C.T.R.E. hijacks two nuclear warheads and attempt to hold the world for ransom or else they will unleash a nuclear crisis. Enter James Bond. He manages to get mixed up in all this while at a health club, where he is supposed to be improving his body. After important meetings with his boss he sets off to track down one of S.P.E.C.T.R.E.’s top men and the one in possession of the bombs.
Straightforward enough, the film’s plot is easy to follow and falls into what will become a pattern for Bond saving the world from evil megalomaniacs bent on world destruction and getting rich. So, in a way, it’s pretty basic. But the filming techniques make for some delightful experiences. The underwater fights are very well done, although they run too long, and show a commitment to upping the ante for the kind of viewing experience Bond films will be. It attempts to dazzle the eyes with over-the-top gadgets and effects, but the weaker story (in comparison to the previous entries) doesn’t trick the mind into being quite as satisfied with the end result. The score for the film is terrific, but the theme song, by Tom Jones, is forgettable.
