8/10
Grows considerably with age

The first two times I saw this film, many years ago, I thoroughly disliked it. It was the worst Bond-film in my opinion. But seeing it again for the third time, I was more than surprised to find it extremely good. Strange! This time I enjoyed the fast editing - it was like a piece of video art. I found it touching watching the friendship between Bond and Mathis. I really liked the music score. Loved the film locations, loved them! And the art direction - the desert hotel setting in the end of the film is just great - who doesn't want to stay there for a while, watching the empty desert just outside your hotel balcony. Great idea. And I really liked the dialogue - it seemed more natural and free-flowing than other Bond-films. Somehow the film revealed itself to be a very good piece of film art overall. A strange Bond-film, but one of the best.
