Casual sexism is unbelievable
One of the better rated early Bond movies, there are two things that stayed with me after watching this.
The first is the array of high tech equipment. Car that becomes a boat (fantastic underwater sequence), villain's lair that has dangerous sharks that can be fed with the press of a button (copied later in _Shaan_, the follow up offering by _Sholay's_ director).
The second is the stunning sexism. The double entendre dialogues, for such a main stream offering, will take your breath away. All the women want to sleep with Bond the instance they see him. And the feeling is mutual for Bond. The frequency of such interactions and dialogues will made your head spin.
The CgI looks amateurish almost 50 years later. The plot and the villain & his motivations are laughable.
Roger Moore is stylish and makes for a fitting Bond. Jaws, the arch enemy with the teeth of steel, is good.
Nothing special. Not meant for those who like Bond or those who don't.
