Actually the criticism has zilch to do with Connery fanboyism or Q stealing the end. The opposition is that it is too Over the Top, seeing it as the nadir of the Bond films doing the ‘Goldfinger’ formula of Larger than life situations, science fiction, etc. There are moments of seriousness like the centrifuge scene and Drax killing his secretary, but the majority is tongue-in-cheek to the extreme. Bond fans thought this was so out of touch with the spy film source. The producers thought so too, and toned things down to FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.
