James Bond Series Post 7: Diamonds are Forever


Once a diamond always a diamond, FOREVER! Yes, it is true Diamonds are Forever. The theme to Diamonds are Forever is very promising. Unfortunately the promise is unfulfilled. This movie is too over the top. It needs to hold its horses and wait for Moore to step in. If there was a moon-buggy chase in Moonraker I might have not had a problem with it. This film takes itself seriously, meanwhile it has a moon-buggy chase, the villain dresses up as a woman, and a car gets through a tight alley-way by driving on two wheels. Some of the action scenes work well but others are like the moon-buggy chase. On the whole this movie seemed very strange and Connery seemed tired of playing Bond.

Diamonds are Forever - 2.5 out of 4
