A walking tour of Egypt
26 October 2022
A rather bland entry into the Bond franchise sees Roger Moore do a lot of walking to different landmarks throughout Egypt for no purpose other than a ploy to increase tourism in the area or something.

I'm not sure how much inspiration it takes from the book but this movie seems to take a lot from previous Bond films without any initiative or excitement.

We have Stromberg who is essentially Blofeld if he was ordered from Wish. He's just non-threatening, boring, and urgh.

The Spy Who Loved Me also introduces the most ridiculous villain in the franchise, Jaws. I'm not sure what's worse - getting past the fast the fella has metal jaws/teeth and gets by fine, or the robotic action sequences in dire need of some lubrication. He offers nothing more than an intimidating looming presence.

Middle of the road. Not the worst, but nothing spectacular.
