What to Know

Critics Consensus

Diamonds are Forever is a largely derivative affair, but it's still pretty entertaining nonetheless, thanks to great stunts, witty dialogue, and the presence of Sean Connery.

Ben Kern Minneapolis Star Tribune Best mechanical gimmick mayhem in town. May 16, 2023 Full Review Jay Cocks TIME Magazine Bond looks better than ever, partly because Sean Connery has returned to play him. Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Ian Nathan Empire Magazine Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties. Rated: 3/5 Apr 24, 2008 Full Review John Hofsess Maclean's Magazine Only the British apparently (judging by dozens of unfortunate imitations) can make a crude sex-and-violence formula yield such refined, exhilarating entertainment as this. Oct 24, 2023 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn With a sense of lifelessness, Diamonds Are Forever easily is the most boring Bond film. Rated: D Aug 28, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It would be Connery's final appearance in the official series, and he goes out in style. Rated: 3/4 Sep 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Charles Not as good as You Only Live Twice, but it’s just as witty and action packed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/22 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, parece que o filme que vilões coadjuvantes burros, que não conseguem matar o James bond, como dois deles desmaiarem o James bond e jogarem ele dentro de um caixão ainda vivo, em vez de matar e depois jogar ele no caixão, e depois de desmaiarem denovo o James bond eles jogarem eles em um tubo para fazer o James bond ser soterrado vivo e das duas vezes o James bond escapou. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review James P An overweight, greying Connery was paid £1.25m to spend 4 months in Vegas playing golf, dating women and enjoying the night life. The end result is this mediocre guff. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Liam D i actually really enjoyed Diamonds are Forever, it’s campy and it knows that it is Campy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Mark J Never have I been so bored watching a Bond film. Just a completely uninteresting plot, no interesting characters, and Connery blatantly past it and not caring about anything other than the pay. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 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 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
