3.0

I really enjoyed this one! (although the racism (especially the racism) and homophobia were off the charts insane)

It had a very nicely structured plot. You could tell the villain‘s patience was being worn thinner and thinner every time Bond got in his way, even if the stakes were low

And the final grand plan was so fun!! Honestly, I still wish Bond had flunked the mission so that the crime would’ve been successful, it was that over the top 😄

But, of course, the ending romance was so  bad. Bond, with his endless and unbeatable charm and good looks turns the lesbian, by the name of Miss Pussy Galore (yeah), straight.
Bond: „I thought you were only interested in women.“ 
Miss Pussy Galore: „I just hadn’t met a man yet.“

Anyway, I liked this one a lot!
