Movie Reviews of Diamonds Are Forever
Movie Review: My Favorite Bond Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
There are several Bond movies that would compete for being my favorite. These would include "You Only Live Twice", "Man With A Golden Gun", and "For Your Eyes Only". (Note -- I've never seen "Octopussy", I've never caught the endings of "Never Say Never Again" and "License To Kill", and I have yet to watch a Pierce Brosnan Bond movie nor the new one yet.) My favorite, though, is "Diamonds Are Forever."
What makes this one my favorite? Here are the following strengths I've seen.
1. The opening. I consider this the most effective opening (though "From Russia With Love" rivals it).
2. Mr. Went and Mr. Kidd. Enough said?
3. Jill St. John. Definitely my favorite leading Bond female, because she shows more complexity than most of the others, going from seductive to scheming to silly.
4. The thrills. What can beat the moon buggy escape, the chase in the parking lot, or the escape from the underground pipeline? And what about Bambi and Thumper, or the multiple Blofelds?
5. The ending. Several of the Bonds, especially those by this director, have great fake endings, and this one ranks with "Live and Let Die" and "Goldfinger" as the best.
Note I said this was my favorite. It does have shortcomings. For example, the women's names (Tiffany Case, Plenty O'Toole). And Charles Gray as well as Connery returns from "You Only Live Twice" -- except in the former movie, Gray was not Blofeld but a good guy agent that didn't last long in the story. Gray was the third actor to play Blofeld, following Donald Pleasance ("You Only Live Twice") and Telly Sevalas ("On Her Majesty's Secret Service"). The other two, unlike Gray, were bald. Blofeld had doubles, but no explanation as to how he grew his hair.
Regardless, if you enjoy James Bond, this one is a must have.
Movie Review: Bond Is Forever
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a long time fan of the James Bond movie series (45 years), naturally I have a preference for the Sean Connery Bond films. This one was one of the better of the entire series. With Jill St. John playing the sexy but ditzy bad girl, Tiffany Case, Charles Gray as Blofeld, and Lana Wood as the voluptuous gold digger Plenty O'Toole, this has to be the most entertaining of the Connery series. Jimmy Dean (the legendary country star of old, and breakfast sausage guru)was outstanding as the Howard Hughes-like Willard White. Some of the more modern Bond films, loaded up with too many gimmicks and special effects, pale in comparison to this and the other Connery and Roger Moore Bond films. A must see for all James Bond fans, young and old. Buy it, You'll like it... you'll love it!!!Movie Review: Classic Bond
Summary: 5 Stars
This ones a little on campy side. It is still a good Bond flick. Jill St.John is so sexy. Jimmy Dean truely can't act. Sean Connery seems to have lost some of his Bondness. Great car chase on the Vegas strip. The gay hit men so not PC. Honda Tri-cycles truley a blast from the past. If you enjoy Bond flicks you'll like this.Movie Review: Diamonds are forever .... James Bond is, too!
Summary: 5 Stars
The title of this James Bond adventure could well be the eternal "credo" for Sean Connery as James Bond .... his outstanding work as the suave, sophisticated, action-biased, reckless and seemingly indestructible superagent continues to grow better with age. A great film and one that will be a fan-favorite!Movie Review: Movie
