This movie has all of the worst Bond has to offer; bad jokes, dumb women, and a lame performance.

Sean Connery was paid a then record $1.25 million dollars to return as Bond one last time, and this movie is tired in every sense. Connery, who seemed to be only in it for the money, phoned in his entire performance. This lack of energy carries throughout the film. There is a car chase in the film that should be quite fun, but it is shot such that you are removed from the action. Early in the franchise Connery was very believable in the fight scenes, however here he is nearly as bad as late-Roger Moore. He is so stiff, it…

M here again. As You Were. Diamonds Are Forever sees the return of Sean Connery in the role of Bond in what promises to be a last ditch effort to revive the franchise’s popularity to its former glory. This installment fails in every way imaginable and reeks of an uninspired, low-budget, televisual cluster fuck. It suffers from terrible special effects, a lazy plot and weak performances, not least of which from Connery himself who appears to have shown up only because his phone had stopped ringing. I find it hard to believe that it is even debatable that this by far the most inferior Bond film to date and though I was somewhat amused by its peculiar missteps at first,…

"My God! You just killed James Bond!"

It's a miracle Diamonds are Forever didn't kill James Bond. It might not be as potentially offensive as some of the more racist Bonds, but it's almost offensive how poorly plotted, poorly characterized, and ultimately boring and forgettable it is.

It tries to cram every corner with some sort of comedy gag or action set piece, and in the process it loses sight of the basics of narrative storytelling. Everything down to the foundation of the plot feels ill-conceived: Blofeld is "killed" in the cold open (as if anyone ever believed that was going to stick), and two profoundly undeveloped (and apparently homosexual—an unsettling combination with the possibly lesbian assassins Bambi and Thumper)…

Welcome to Hell, Blofeld.

With George Lazenby leaving the franchise after only one film, the caretakers of James Bond decided it was the perfect time for a huge change in the series. This was partly do to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service's "poor" performance at the box office. The fact is, even though it was one of the lowest performing Bond films of the series, it was still one of the highest grossing films worldwide in 1969.

They made a conscience decision to "Americanize" James Bond. Cubby Broccoli, the producer of every Bond film thus far, offered the role of 007 to…

Back then, most people's complaints were about the campy tone of the movie - granted, it's a stark contrast to the previous dark and violent installment - but this criticism shows how morally bankrupt and stupid people were back then as people seemed to be okay with woman abuse, blunt racism (a black woman is treated like an animal and then turns into an ape - seriously?!) and the fact that goddamn Blofeld doesn't seem to change actors on every film, dude just went from Pleasence to Tony and now he's all the sudden Benny Hinn lost twin?

To be honest, I think…
