Charles Not as good as You Only Live Twice, but it’s just as witty and action packed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/22 Full Review Craig S The worst film in the series starring Sean Connery. I consider Dr. No and From Russia with Love his best. Goldfinger, Thunderball, and You Only Live Twice had good stories, but were increasingly silly. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Marco L Sean Connery regresa en esta entrega de la saga, pero su carisma habitual no logra salvar una trama que carece de lógica y cohesión. A pesar de algunos momentos entretenidos, la historia parece avanzar sin rumbo claro, con giros que resultan tan absurdos como previsibles. El guion se aleja de la elegancia y el control que caracterizó a entregas anteriores, y en lugar de sorprender, se limita a ofrecer una sucesión de elementos familiares del universo del espía británico. La dirección, a cargo de Guy Hamilton, apuesta por un tono más ligero, con toques de humor que a veces funcionan, pero que también le restan impacto a las escenas de acción. La persecución, aunque emocionante en momentos puntuales, no tiene el brillo que se espera en una cinta de este calibre. El diseño de producción y la música, puntos fuertes en la saga, cumplen sin destacar, mientras que las interpretaciones de los secundarios son irregulares, con personajes que oscilan entre lo extravagante y lo caricaturesco. Por otro lado, Connery parece disfrutar de su papel, pero su interpretación no es suficiente para compensar las deficiencias narrativas. En definitiva, aunque tiene algunos destellos de lo que hace memorable a las películas del agente secreto, esta entrega se siente como una de las más flojas de la franquicia, con una historia que no logra enganchar ni dejar huella. Ideal solo para los más fieles seguidores de Connery o de la saga en general. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Martin E In my opinion by far best of the early Bond films. Charles Gray for me, so far, reaches the culmination of 'villains' as one of Shakesperian acting capability in a quitely powerful, understated way. I am not an enthusiast or fan of royal patronage, however this gentleman ought to receive a posthumous knighthood for his contribution to the British entertainment stage. The reverse is applicable to most politicians! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Lucas t Very funny action comedy. 8/10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review DanTheMan 2 Diamonds Are Forever has always been a more interesting what-if than a real film to me, its production history is far more fascinating than the final product. A clear attempt at recreating what had made Goldfinger work, but after Lazenby walked and Roger busy filming The Persuaders, the entire film flounders around wasting everyone's time, almost as if it was done to tie the audience over till the next leading man had been found. It's a complete mess, simple as. Breezing over the previous film's gut-wrenching ending without as much as a passing thought, instead offering a redundant, dull and brutally mundane diamond-smuggling melodrama without the spectacle we associate with James Bond. Guy Hamilton's direction is a far cry from his high points, as lazy as Connery's one-note performance in a role he so easily made his just shy of a decade prior. He's just going through the motions and looks to have aged horribly in the time away from 007, while the remaining cast is just as bad although Charles Gray does admittedly commit to the bit, he's just not cut out for the role of Blofeld. Even with John Barry turning in another fine score, seeming like he's the only one trying, Diamonds Are Forever doesn't have the same quality or flair we've seen previously ending up as a nonsensical, undeveloped and completely lifeless bore.
