While the
plot is laughable, the execution is not. This is the best of the
Roger Moore era as James Bond, who plays the part for the first time
with maturity and intelligence. This film is memorable due to the
great Carly Simon/Marvin Hamlisch opening song "Nobody Does It
Better", an incredible opening sequence with Bond skiing off a cliff
using his Union Jack parachite to float his way down, and a Lotus
Esprit which can also go underwater as a mini-sub. Richard Kiel as
"Jaws" makes for a worthy heavy, while the many stunt pieces are
better than most had been since the Connery days. Lots of fun, this
entry delivers all the laughs, thrills and fun you have come to
expect from a James Bond adventure.
