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 Oliver J Critics Consensus: “Diamonds Are Forever” delivers classic Bond glitz and Sean Connery charm, but an over-the-top plot, uneven pacing, and campy villains make this one of the less satisfying entries in the franchise. Review: Sean Connery returned to the role of 007 in Diamonds Are Forever, bringing his signature suavity and wit. However, the film struggles to match the intrigue and tension of earlier entries. The story, involving a diamond smuggling ring and the flamboyant Blofeld, feels disjointed and overly indulgent, leaning heavily on camp rather than suspense. The Las Vegas setting offers glitzy visuals and some fun action set pieces, including car chases and laser-equipped antics, but they often feel contrived and overblown. Jill St. John’s Tiffany Case adds charm but little depth, and the tone wavers between playful and absurd, leaving the film uneven in execution. Verdict: Diamonds Are Forever has moments of Bond flair and Connery charisma, but the campy excess and weak plotting prevent it from shining, making it a middling entry in the otherwise stellar early Bond canon. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review nick s It was muddling along okay until the lunar landing joke. That just killed any gravity the movie had. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Joshua H Yeah it's alright I guess, a bit disappointing tbh especially considering that I really liked the pervious film it felt like a breath of fresh air just when we needed whereas this film like just the same old. Obviously Sean Connery is great but it felt like after his pervious film he had done everything thing he could with the role and this movie kinda proved it. I would have probably perffered George Lazenby come back for at least one more movie (the frist like 10 minutes would have been way more satisfying had and made more sense if it was George Lazenby) and I would loved it if they tackled the end of the pervious movie and how it impacted Bond as a character. Yeah it just felt like a blast from the past way too soon when we just wanted something new with the character and I didn't think the Villain felt like a completely different person from pervious film. But it was I guess ut was enjoyable enough. I'm just looking forward to seeing something new with the franchise in the next film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Audience Member Solid Bond flick often overlooked. Campy and cheap at times, but the storytelling element is there. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Jay W Talk about tonal whiplash. If you came from the ending of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and were hoping to see Bond get revenge on Blofeld, you get that here, but in a very different way. After the most emotionally devastating finale of the series, "Diamonds are Forever" is James Bond at its most campy. It feels similar in spirit to Adam West Batman if it was even more goofy. Blofeld is smuggling diamonds to make a giant laser in space. Multiple times Bond is caught interfering and Blofeld's "attempts" to get rid of him by, putting him to sleep in a construction pipe or locking him in a janitor's closet.
