Oliver J Critics Consensus: “The Spy Who Loved Me” revitalizes the Bond series with spectacular action, iconic set pieces, and Roger Moore at his suave best, delivering a thrilling espionage adventure that balances wit and spectacle. Review: Roger Moore’s third outing as James Bond finds the franchise hitting its stride with The Spy Who Loved Me. The film expertly blends high-stakes espionage, exotic locations, and larger-than-life action sequences, from ski chases in the Alps to a daring submarine showdown. Moore’s charm and humor are perfectly suited to the rollicking, adventurous tone, while Barbara Bach’s Anya Amasova is a strong and compelling Bond girl with equal skills and presence. The villain Karl Stromberg, with his underwater lair, adds memorable menace, and the film’s visual effects and production design are dazzling for the era. The movie embraces the series’ penchant for gadgetry and spectacle without losing sight of character and suspense, striking a balance that makes it one of the most enjoyable Moore-era entries. Verdict: The Spy Who Loved Me is a thrilling, stylish, and charismatic Bond adventure—an action-packed triumph that combines wit, danger, and some of the franchise’s most iconic moments. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Jacob B A return to form for James Bond after suffering from a decline in quality that was evident even before Roger Moore showed up, The Spy Who Loved Me definitely deserves its spot as one of 007's best films. It has a more gripping plot, it's much less campy, has actual action sequences this time around, the theme song is iconic, boasts one of the most memorable villains in Bond's rogues gallery in the form of Jaws, Moore's 007 is actually competent this time without being OP and it has some nifty-looking sets. The Bond Girl of the week is also a pretty good character, helped by the low bar set by Mary Goodnight but it's not my place to write an essay about her since I watch James Bond films for the cool spy stuff and not their female representation. An exciting, funny and even surprisingly albeit fleetingly emotional film that unlike the last two films, doesn't try to capitalise on current Hollywood trends and is interested in actually being a James Bond film first. If the objective was to get 007's movie career back on track, then I can safely say: mission accomplished :) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacaninha para mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, perto do final do filme, eles meio que copiaram a briga dos agente do 007 contra os capangas do vilão, igual ao filme do 007 só se vive duas vezes, e gostei do vilão gigante ajudou a melhorar um pouco no filme. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Glafira Regina O The first three films were masterpieces, the next two were noticeably weaker, and Diamonds Are Forever lost some of the atmosphere that characterized the Bond films of the 1960s. The following two films, in which Sean Connery was replaced by Roger Moore, were rather weak, though they still had some redeeming qualities. This one, however, has very few positives and far more negatives. Whereas Roger Moore’s performance was previously offset by the strength of the Bond character, now his portrayal has become somewhat “bland,” indistinct from the protagonists of other action films. The villains are far from omnipotent, and the suspense is rather poorly maintained. As for the action—what little there is—it’s obvious that little effort was put into choreographing the fight scenes. Additionally, I find it very difficult to consider Barbara Bach a proper actress. Her performance is completely unremarkable. She doesn’t even remotely resemble a Soviet spy supposedly trained in Siberia. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Daniel C. M Pulpy vibes and a fire, stylish soundtrack with bigger and more fun scenarios and threats, alongside Roger Moore at his peak, help make this a very entertaining and noteworthy enter on the James Bond series of films; though, ocassionally, the film's grandiose dwarfs Bond himself and diverges from the typical formula in negative ways, a notable example being the lack of proper gadgets for Bond to utilize. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Andrew H Sir Roger Moore settles into the role. The gadgets are great fun, and met the expectations of 1970s audiences.
