Diamonds Are For Never
[spoilers follow]
Diamonds Are Forever is a weird sort of fish. It's like no one could really be bothered. They knew it would make money and bringing back Connery was like putting on a comfy pair of slippers. Add in a villain we know well and boom, 100 million quid, trebles all round.
So Connery does a Connery impression for two hours, there are some fights, some bunkum about diamonds, a guy strokes his pussy, fnaaar. All in all, not much fuss, Bond film delievered.
So it's okay if you like Bond. The girl is an ineffectual dolly bird, Bond is an ageing quip machine (although the quips are just slightly leaden). The action is perfunctory.
I don't really have anything much to say about it. I paid it relatively little mind while it was on. I think Connery had run his course but of course, he's Connery. He's watchable but the film just looks so dated and slightly dull. I'm going to say a C for just being formula Bond. But the series was ready for the change that no one would accept OHMSS was.
