(DVD, MGM)
Gargantuan satire of all things 007 implodes under its own weight. Having multiple directors only results in an episodic and confusing film with virtually no plot. Each scene is almost self-contained. Apparently no expense was spared, because the sets are stunning, but ultimately numbing. By the time you get to the big action finale in the casino, you could care less. Even the instantly recognizable theme song by Herb Alpert is run into the ground.
