Roger Moore has crumpled his comic-strip good looks into something approaching world-weariness, and the newfound maturity in his expression is reflected in director John Glen's style, which goes for the measured and elegant over the flashy and excessive.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Moore is merely the best-oiled cog in this perpetual motion machine.
One of the most thoroughly enjoyable of the 12 Bond pix [to date] despite fact that many of the usual ingredients in the successful 007 formula are missing.
Let's face it: When you've seen one impregnable mountaintop fortress, you've seen 'em all.
By the end of the '80s, Bond would be viewed as something of a relic, but at least the decade opened with an enjoyable outing.
