Summary: Bond review
Comment: I just love the Bond movies! And Roger Moore is one of the best.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Fun At Times, But...
Comment: Of all the Bonds this is the most curiously overrated. While the later Moores are rightly regarded as weak -- this one has its share of passionate defenders. I'm not really sure why. Though entertaining, it's slick and frankly a little shallow. It makes the prior two in the series seem positively naturalistic by comparison. Marvin Hamlish's self-conscious, obnoxious musical pastiches are dreadful -- they take you right out of the movie. Barbara Bach is robotic in what could have been an effective female lead. (I hate to say all this as Sir Roger in his charming commentary track says this is his favorite and I'm grateful that he recorded these.)

Summary: Another Excellent Bond
Comment: Once again, another stunning Bond movie. Roger Moore is back at it in his third movie as Bond. The action sequences range from the snow, to the depths of the sea, to the Egyptian Pyramids. This is on of the James Bond's that is a must to see!
Customer Rating:
Summary: 007's Greatest Hits
Comment: Roger Moore's tenure as James Bond resulted in some of the worst 007 entries. The best of a mostly bad lot, "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) functions as a greatest-hits anthology with barely enough plot holding it together. Director Lewis Gilbert stages some terrific action setpieces, but the large budget cannot mask a derivative screenplay - not to mention an ineffectual Bond villain (played by Curt Jurgens). At least Moore has a slightly harder edge than usual.

Summary: One of the best Bond movies.
Comment: "The Spy Who Loved Me" was Moore's third James Bond movie. This time, Bond is up against megalomaniac Karl Stromberg (Curd Jürgens), who's stolen nuclear submarines and plans on starting a nuclear war in order to establish a new, underwater civilisation. The plot sounds similar to some of the earlier Bond movies, but remember, Blofeld's (and most other Bond villians) motivation was money; Stromberg's goal is the destruction of civilisation as we know it.
To stop Stromberg, the British Intelligence enlist the help of the Russians. Bond has to work together with the beautiful Agent Triple-X of the KGB (Barbara Bach), whose lover Bond killed in Austria. Their mission takes them to exotic locations such as Egypt, where they meet Stromberg's giant henchman Jaws (Richard Kiel). The cast list also includes Caroline Munro as Stromberg's assistant Naomi.
Even though this is the Bond movie I've seen the most number of times, it's still one of the most entertaining. The story is interesting, it never gets dull, and there's some spectacular action. In my opinion, this is the best Bond movie since "Goldfinger".

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
