I probably would have ranked this movie much higher if it wasn't for the 30 mins of the movie devoted to turning Bond "japanese" and training him to be a Ninja. They arrange a marriage for him as well to a local Japanese girl who is also actually an agent. It all is completely unnecessary and has no relation to the overall plot at all. I mean the guy is a highly trained British agent. Why does he need to be trained as a ninja to go investigate a suspicious volcano crater.
Aside from that ridiculous plot sequence, the whole SPECTRE organization starts to look real stupid at this point and you really see where Austin Powers gets most of it's material. At one point while number one is holding his cat, it looks like its ready to freak out and is desperately trying to jump out of his arms. The whole thing is rather comical.
I know Bond movies are supposed to be a little silly, but this one is mostly just dumb and annoying.
