This used to be one of my favorite Moore films, but unfortunately it's gone down after my latest viewing.
My criticisms:
- Too much action in places (gets in the way of the detective story aspect).
- Moore's good in the film, but not quite great like in the previous 2 Bond films (though a bit better than in L&LD)
- The villains plot rips off TSWLM.
Still an enjoyable film, but no longer one of my faves of the Moore Era. A 7/10 from me.
Additional points: the film benefits from having one of my favorite BGs and one of my favorite BVs.
(Edit: for the record, I don't dislike the use of action in Bond films, but I felt it damaged the film's flow in MR).
