Aside From The Man With The Golden Gun, and Die Another Day, I feel this to be amongst the worst in the 007 series. How could such a serious and emotional Bond entry like OHMS be followed by such a campy silly, over the top mess like this. Especially after paying Sean Connery the highest salary for a film an actor had ever received up until that time.
You would think the confrontation between Bond an Blofeld would be more brutal to the tone of Bond vs Grant in From Russia with Love especially since Blofeld murdered his bride on there wedding day in the previous film. Charles Gray was completely miscast as Blofeld. I never understood why they didn't use the same actors for reoccurring series roles like Felix Lieter or Blofeld.
In closing, If your looking for a good Sean Connery Bond watch Goldfinger or Thunderball. Stay clear of this one.
