"Perhaps as a publishing phenomenon the concept works, but on-screen it's pretty dull, with good actors in bad roles and bad special effects" | ||||

"A lame and disappointing affair." | ||||
"Sax keeps things moving, but the best thing about the film is the British cast" | ||||
"License to bore (...) This lame teenage James Bond will leave audiences neither shaken nor stirred." |
