This is complemented by the plot which is extremely hard to follow and uninteresting. The humor isn't funny and it isn't cool, instead it just feels boring. Speaking of comedy this is the main thing that feels different about the film, instead of the more adult wittiness and one-liners that the Eon Productions Bond films embrace this tries to go a more family-friendly route using more physical and over the top humor that sadly never lands.
The film wants to stand out but fails to actually commit to a different idea just becoming a lesser version of the other Bond films of the era. Yet quickly they backtrack this new direction adding the elements of the Eon Productions Bond films into the film and playing the contrast between them and Sir James Bond for comedy.
At first with the film condoning the other style of the Bond films at the time and seemingly committing to a more serious spy adventure actually was intriguing, where it isn't what Bond is known for having a seriously good movie is never a bad thing which is the reason a film like To Russia With Love stuck out so much against the early Bond films. The tone of the film is the first thing to stick out like a sore thumb as just being all over the place.
