Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

LeonLouisRicci The Third Time was a Charm for Roger Moore as James Bond after Two Previous Disappointing Films as 007. This one Clicked, and is Considered, Perhaps, Moore's Best.All the Bond Ingredients Coalesce, The Exotic Locations, the Super Villain (Curt Jurgens), the Gadgets, the Sexual Innuendos, the Bond Girl(s) Barbara Bach with Caroline Munro on the Side, an Unforgettable Sci-Fi Thug named "Jaws" (Richard Kiel), the Enormously Impressive Sets and SFX, and for Toppers, a Memorable Title Tune, "Nobody Does it Better", sung by Carly Simon.The 10th Bond Film might seem to Run a Little Long, but there is a Grand Scheme Underway and the Finale is Fitting for the Scope of the Villainy.Overall, it was Refreshing to Find the Formula could still Work after a Couple of Previous Duds. It was not at all Certain that the Franchise would Continue. But the Producers took a chance with a Big-Budget and were Rewarded with Big-Box Office and Fan Approval.

KineticSeoul With "Diamonds Are Forever" and "The Man With The Golden Gun" the Bond franchise has taken some beating and was losing it's edge in the film industry and at the box office. So this was a important and critical Bond film, where the success of this film played a important part in keeping this franchise relevant. And also keeping it going with the back up it's been getting. So they were really banking on this movie to succeed, and you can clearly see it from the intro with a ski chase scene that ends with a parachute jump. The action in this is way better crafted while keeping the Bond essence going. They really tried to modernize and renovate the franchise, this could either work or fail and for the most part it worked for the better. They took certain elements from the previous Bond films and made a bigger and more action packed. The main drive of this film is of course the chemistry between a female spy Agent Triple X or Anya. She was a decently written female lead, well at least for a Bond film anyways. Unfortunately the actress that played her was very robotic and lacked any flare. She was suppose to a competent spy but came off more naive than anything else. If there was more build up between Bond and Anya during their escapade this film would surely have been classic Bond film. Don't get me wrong this is still a very good Bond film with Roger Moore in the lead role. Add in a kick as Bond intro song and you got yourself a noteworthy Bond movie. It even has one of Bond's most iconic villains Jaws (Richard Kiel) who also appears in the next installment.8/10

Owen Ogletree This was a spectacular addition to the series and, in my opinion, the best James Bond film since "Goldfinger." It completely washes the bad taste of "The Man With The Golden Gun" out of your mouth.Roger Moore has perfected his take as James Bond by this outing. He is suave, sophisticated, and delivers the one-liners with aplomb. He is proving to be a worthy successor to Connery. He also doesn't try to be Connery, which is a very good thing.Anya Amasova/XXX, played by Barbara Bach is one of the very best Bond girls. Her Russian accent is incredibly fake, but she's so beautiful and has such an engaging personality that I didn't mind it. She had great chemistry with Moore.The plot, while essentially a reworking of "You Only Live Twice," is very fun and engaging and Lewis Gilbert (the director of "Twice"), continues his style of crafting big, epic set pieces that leave you in amazement.Carl Stromberg is a pretty awesome villain, but he is completely overshadowed by his henchmen. Jaws is a classic villain. He is super intimidating and is pretty much invincible. Bond is never quite able to put him away. He even kills a shark. Oh, my!The action is almost non-stop and keeps you on the edge of your seat. For instance, we get to see a thrilling chase with Bond using the Lotus Esperit, the best Bond vehicle ever next to the Aston Martin, and there are many tense fight scenes with Jaws and a heck of a climax at Stromberg's lair. Let's also not forget the opening sequence with Bond skiing off a cliff. Crazy.A fantastic addition to the series very much deserving of its classic status. Arguably Moore's best Bond film (just a hair ahead of "For Your Eyes Only"), and one of the very best of the series as well. As Carly Simon says in the wonderful theme song, "Nobody does it better" than James Bond.RATING: A

D' Francis After this film, there was no question that Roger Moore was a great successor to Sean Connery. His wit, humor and a gentle romantic side make him a unique Bond fitting for the détente era. Agent XXX (Bach) is one of the few female leads in the 70's to actually have character development and an independent scene. Some scenes like the sunset, underwater aquarium and the parachute scene have been done to perfection. Stromberg is not a bad villain at all and the burly expressive Jaws is one of the series' most memorable henchmen. It's a grandiose adventure epic for Bond, but some of that grandiosity hasn't aged well. The soundtrack lacks energy, the beginning is a bit slow, and the plot follows the standard Bond formula with few surprises and curve balls. It feels a little bloated with gratuitous chases in almost every vehicle imaginable, though I have to admit the amphibious Lotus car chase was quite epic. At the end of the day, it's a solid adventure and exactly the hit that Roger Moore needed to firmly establish himself in the role.
