Most helpful review The Spy Who Loved Me

  • With all favouritism ...

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    With all favouritism aside this is one of the best Bond films that Roger Moore ever did and is possibly one of the best Bond films ever. This has all the hallmarks of what a Bond film should have - beautiful but deadly women, villains with character which includes a megalomaniac wanting to destroy the world and the classic hitman Jaws. This also boasts one of the most famous opening sequences in which Bond skis off a cliff only to open a parachute, which is a Union Jack. If you want to see one Bond film that includes all of the things that makes Bond famous that this is one of them.

  • The best of the Roger Moore Bonds-but I don't love it.

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Bobsview (549 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 17 Feb 2013
    The 10th Bond film and the third of the Roger Moore series. I have never been a fan of the Bond films where Bond is played by Roger Moore. I could never take him seriously as a hard , cruel and dangerous agent. This is however the best of the Roger Moore bunch . In fact some say this is the best Bond film of all but I do not agree with that at all. This story is mainly a thriller but all the action is highly sanitized and suitable for a young child. This Bond film has the Jaws character over and over again and this character rather than being funny has always made me cringe. During this period they could not decide if they were making a thriller or a comedy. This film does however have two big sets; the megalomaniac’s floating / under water home and the oil tanker that eats nuclear submarines. In fact the plot of this one os very strong and could have delivered a much stronger movie. This film is memorable for its stunning beginning with Bond skiing off a mountain edge and into free fall and then his parachute opens up with a union jack on it. It is also memorable for the Lotus car that goes under water. Bond falls in love with another agent called XXX but unfortunately she is not credible and looks more like a primary school teacher.

    Everything that Bond can do, Moore does to near perfection in The Spy Who Loved Me. It matches the best of excess with a tight script and humanised hero.

  • Oh no! James Bond is going to die!!!

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Bassman71 (617 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 10 May 2011
    Nuclear submarines mysteriously disappear in ocean, 007 & Russian agent set out for plans for tracking submarine tracking device, discover evil genius behind plans, etc.

    More silliness but a lot more tongue-in-cheek this time from James Bond featuring some great stunts, huge sets, and excellent bad guys.

    Roger Moore plays himself as the usual chauvinist, Barbara Bach is gorgeous but considering she's also an agent a bit lightweight & great turnouts from both Curd Jurgens & Richard Kiel as Stromberg & Jaws respectively.

    Being the late 70s the Bond theme has had an unfortunate disco makeover but the opening song from Carly Simon is brilliant.
