Movie Reviews of The Spy Who Loved Me

Movie Review: My Favorite Bond Film (along with For Your Eyes Only)
Summary: 5 Stars

I totally dig this movie. First of all, if you're checking the boxes of Bond film components, it definitely gets high marks: [Lot of spoilers follow]

Cold opening: skiiing off the cliff and opening the Union Jack parachute = classic (of course, in theory, he'd be a pretty easy target for some Russian at the bottom of the mountain, but this is a Bond film so we don't mention stuff like that).

Song: #1 Bond song of all time, in my book. 30+ years on and it's still in my ipod rotation.

Arch-villian: Stromberg's pretty far fetched, but no more so than Goldfinger. Who really wants a realistic megalomaniac?

Henchman: Jaws. Coolest ever. Not just the teeth, but the indestructibility: his car plummets from the sky into a house, he brushes himself off. Stranded in the middle of the ocean? No problem, just a long swim. And don't even try to take him out with a puny 2x4.

Bond girl: XXX (Barbara Bach). One of the first Bond girls who was more than just window dressing. Having to work with Bond while also nursing a vendetta against him, a step ahead of him on more than one occasion (such as knocking him out on the barge & knowing how to operate the special features on the Lotus). Plus, getting all b***hy with Stromberg's bikini assistant/hit-girl.

Gadgets: 1. The Lotus. 2. The Lotus! 3. The sub-eating supertanker. 4. The false-bottomed elevator. 5. Stromberg's submerged pad. 6. The Lotus!!!

Action scenes: decent. Not as good as FYEO, but respectable, with a balanced dose of humor (that would unfortunately get out of control in later Moore films).

There are no slow patches, no silly introspection, no moralizing. Just good ol' '70's non-PC fun.

I mean it's not Raiders or Star Wars, but it's a blast nonetheless.

Summary of The Spy Who Loved Me

Nobody does it better than Bond, and he proves it once more in this explosively entertaining adventure that takes him from the Egyptian pyramids to the ocean floor to a gravity-defying mountaintop ski chase! Roger Moore brings inimitable style to Agent 00
The best of the James Bond adventures starring Roger Moore as tuxedoed Agent 007, this globe-trotting thriller introduced the steel-toothed Jaws (played by seven-foot-two-inch-tall actor Richard Kiel) as one of the most memorable and indestructible Bond villains. Jaws is so tenacious, in fact, that Moore looks genuinely frightened, and that adds to the abundant fun. This time Bond teams up with yet another lovely Russian agent (Barbara Bach) to track a pair of nuclear submarines that the nefarious Stromberg (Curt J?rgens) plans to use in his plot to start World War III. Featuring lavish sets designed by the great Ken Adam (Dr. Strangelove), The Spy Who Loved Me is a galaxy away from the suave Sean Connery exploits of the 1960s, but the film works perfectly as grandiose entertainment. From cavernous undersea lairs to the vast horizons of Egypt, this Bond thriller keeps its tongue firmly in cheek with a plot tailor-made for daredevil escapism. --Jeff Shannon
