The most awkward Bond film
23 July 1999
I find it puzzling that Lazenby has so many defenders.I think he is by far the worst Bond ever, walking around like a soulless zombie, fighting like a robot, lacking charm and humor.The structure is uneven: the first part of the film is extremely flabby, followed by a frenetic series of wild chases.Aside from the really gripping bobsled chase at the end,most of the (widely praised) action scenes and ALL the fight scenes are too-frantic and heavy-handed; were they edited by a neurotic? Two redeeming features: the unusually bitter ending and the equally unusual references to previous Bonds.Apparently,they tried to convince us that the Bond myth lives on,even if the actors change.But the casting of Lazenby,and the awkward editing, make this one a failure
