Incredibly Disappointing...

I recently started Bond Marathon on BluRay. Having already seen Dalton, Brosnan and Craig's films, I didn't expect much. But Connery surprised me. That is until this horrible film. From the beginning(Dr. No), I learned to accept some plot holes. Until this film, the most important thing that bothered me was that anytime a villain gets his hands on Bond, He/She doesn't ever kill him even when it seems to be the obvious choice. It was difficult to accept that but the films have other positives which made me overlook their faults. But, this film was the peak of ridiculousness. The grand scale of the film although appreciable is not successful in covering up the glaringly imperfect plot. I see how the film could be visually great in 1967 but I cannot understand how in 2013, people are still appreciating it. I think Thunderball is the best Bond film with Goldfinger in the close second. Anybody else share my opinion?

These pretzels are making me THIRSTY...
