Overall, this isnt a bad one but it is VERY heavy on the camp and over-the-top nature of the mid half of the Bond Franchise. That being said it is a perfect lead in for the next decade of Bond films led by the former Saint, Roger Moore.Overall, this isnt a bad one but it is VERY heavy on the camp and over-the-top nature of the mid half of the Bond Franchise.

The franchise is getting more and more dumb with more "humour", that I dont like and action, that is outdated and unrealistic. Anyway Sean Connery is fun to watch.

Connery and Hamilton are back for the crowd. the roar of cheering undermines their own voice, and visually, it is a textbook James Bond mission.

Diamonds Are Forever

Hamilton, after a while, is back in the game. A break that propelled into one big fumble in this installment. With very little skin in the game and passion to spiral out a thrilling thriller, Guy Hamilton, the director, who gave us one of the best chapters of James Bond, makes it look like it was a fluke. For, as far as execution is concerned the game of cat and mouse never grasps the momentum that it script demands. Our heartthrob and overly sung hero is definitely panting, but the effects are usually the aftermath, the journey that led him to this lack of energy isn't projected thoroughly to us.

Resulting in, this bizarre train of event, which makes us feel like, that the makers are overselling the product and the actors, well, overacting. Also, in doing so, the hype that they build up- mind you there is also the pressure of the big banner- is something that exceeds their potential and is also probably why, in these last few chapters, the final act has turned out to be the most disappointing one. Sean Connery revisiting his character seems much more confident this time.

No rocks in the drink and no bullets in the gun, he believes in old testament and the result is adorable; people are digging it. The bond girl syndrome is elevated to a more respected level- well, they are still working on that, it is a slow rickety skate- in a sense that it isn't there for glamorous event, they have got few cards hidden under those, umm, pockets; on terms of the whole gender equality notion, the franchise collapses from the first chapter itself, it is good that we can laugh about it now(!), for as far quality is concerned it didn't qualify, not even the first round, so let them say that Diamonds Are Forever.… Expand

There is no doubt about it, this film is a horrible mess. It is saved somewhat by some of the glitz and glamour, but horribly hurt by its complete lack of dedication.

Not a horrible movie, but it does feel very cheap compared to its predecessors.

Charles Gray is an okay Blofeld, but the stunts and effects in this film are pretty cheap and laughable. It does have small moments I like, but overall just a "meh" movie.… Expand

Diamonds Are Forever, the seventh James Bond film, can be viewed as either one of the best or one of the worst Bond movies.

Depending on how you look at it, "Diamonds" is the ultimate Bond film if you don't need anything more than mindless harmless amusement. However, you should steer clear of this one if you can't get past the silliness, poor editing, and the clumsily put together narrative. Although it cannot be compared to the original Bond films from the 1960s, "Moonraker" and "The Man with the Golden Gun" starring Roger Moore are not as terrible or ridiculous.… Expand
