Roger Moore's last 007, his lack of energy and physical strength can be clearly felt in the patch review. Years are not forgiving. Bond, who can still play karate in "The Man with the Golden Gun", is breathing a few stairs now, but this doesn't seem to affect his three goals...

Walken's performance is so good that it steals the limelight: handsome and young, modern and extravagant and elegant, coupled with high IQ and strong execution, it has both the capabilities and characteristics of Luthor and Joker, as well as rich character backgrounds and origin stories, Before Brosnan's version of Bond, the most charismatic, and the most thoroughly evil villain

The identity of the Soviet Union he bears is hidden with hatred for the United States mixed with personal interests and a sense of personal achievement, as well as love and hate for the Nazi doctor who achieved his basic ability but also caused his own hidden illness and disability, as well as the history of the KGB, disdain From the simplicity and rudeness of nuclear bomb destruction, it is the persistence of pursuing the means of causing natural disasters through human initiative, as well as the decisiveness of abandoning his subordinates, the ruthlessness of cutting grass and roots, and the satisfaction of looking forward to the completion of his works, all kinds of needs. Emotions and transitions are perfectly interpreted by Walken, so flesh and blood, the first in the 007 series

It's a pity, it can only be said that he was forced to die in the position plot.

The fixed status of Bond Girl really became a living character in "The Queen's Secret Service" rather than a sexual symbol, but it rose and fell in the back, and gradually became a Sean Connery-era vase. For example, the presence and character of the heroine in this film are completely overwhelmed by the black girl Meidai, who has become the second Bond girl with the deepest impression on me.

In addition, passing by Bond in the mansion, an unknown East Asian girl in a kimono, or Jenny, a short-haired girl in a horse suit under Zorin's sassy day, is also very suitable for a Bond girl

And the fierce Jamaican black model and the scary white beauty with long legs can be written as a pair now...

The music style of this part has made a lot of breakthroughs. The theme song has rarely become a pop style, while the soundtrack is mainly classical music. 007 began to get closer to the American style.

As for the failure of this film, it is probably the car scene that appeared to continue to ridicule the funny image of the American sheriff, and the buff that Bond will die forever.

Finally, I didn't forget to tell a Soviet joke: "I thought Silicon Valley would be very happy to destroy the KGB", "How could it be? How can we develop technology without Silicon Valley!"
