Anyway, at the beginning of the film, James Bond kills a Russian agent and as Fate would have it, the agent's (understandably) bitter girlfriend is now Bond's new partner in a joint effort to figure out who's stealing the submarines. The most likely culprit...the freaky part-fish super villain who happens to live in a gigantic ocean lair complete with a small army and a humongous ship that's capable of gobbling up smaller vessels.
I enjoyed TSWLM alright, but it wasn't as much fun as the last two installments. The un-original story didn't help things at all. Also the new Bond girl, Barbara Bach, was pretty boring. She's just kinda...ehh. Attractive, but no real personality. I can't really put my finger on it, but I never really got into this episode. Some dude with fishhands that's never explained, more nudity via pornographic magazine pictures, a completely illogical submarine car, run of the mill car chase, snow skiing, forgettable villain, jet skiing, helicopters. Overall, things were just average. I did like the henchman, Jaws, because he was just so ridiculous! I wish he had had more scenes.
