It's also noteworthy he took the opposite view of a majority of critics with TB on the increasing gadgetry and found the humor is the key when it was GF that played up the humor more. Although I'm not sure what he meant by saying even the violence is funny. There are moments when the violence is tempered by a Bond quip or action, but things in the underwater battle or Quist being thrown to the sharks don't have much humor going for them.
I noticed that, and then in the TB review he calls the previous three progressively more compelling.
