| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesConnery's last exceptional Bond as it gives 007 a competent villain, a thrilling adventure in an unusual setting, great Bond Babes and one of the series' all-time best scenes. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerEmerson BatdorffIn addition to the physical machines there is a lot of deus ex-machina involved too, but only a critic would carp about that. Just go to watch the most remarkable things. |
