I'll be honest I've been getting a bit fatigued with Bond. The last two movies I watched for this blog were barely coherent vehicals for increasingly silly and problematic setpieces. It seems to me that Diamonds are Forever was the peak of that style of Bond film. The type that forgets that movies typically have a narrative and just wants to show us fun action setpiece after fun action setpiece. That this was all I could expect from The Man with the Golden Gun was the attitude I entered the film with.
