Not as bad as I heard it was

This film is supose to be so bad, I never rented it for years. I sure was wrong, I gave it a 6, when I heard this movie was a 3. James Bond comming out of traing to the live field is a ok concept. The film is on a lower budget, but they did well with what they have. This film shows how good of an actor Sean Connery is. Bronson with three time the budget never gets across in the mannor, or humor which Connery can. Connery makes this movie worth watching he adds so much to the scenes; when he gets into a fight he gives it Bond magic. Connery delivers a one liner in a James Bond way. He maybe old, but there was still some gas in the tank.
