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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review James P Stylish, polished & strong 007 epic. Jaws makes for a menacing henchman and one of the hottest Bond girls of the series. Moore's joint-best Bond adventure. Definitely in my top 10. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Liam D It’s easily the best bond movie of the 70s and probably the best of the “Comic Book and OTT villain plans” Bond film; the script is great, every actor is on top form, great action sequences, beautiful production design and fantastic score Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Obi-wan K The pacing is good again and felt entertaining Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
