Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). All the nonsense and plot holes of Dr. No, but without nearly as much fun. And James Bond does nothing whatsoever to stop the evil plot. Still pretty good, though. Almost everything in it is iconic.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
