Review - Man with the Golden Gun, The

This one left me a little flat. For starters, I don't think the Service would accept Bond back after being brainwashed. The invincible Scaramanga didn't ring true. And the dramatic ending in the swamp with Bond confronting the bad guy as he eats a raw snake was goofy.
