Diamonds Are Forever (James Bond 007)

Not my favorite Bond movie. Frankly at this point Sean Connery was getting a little long in the tooth and too old to be scoring with the young babes he did.

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd are two of the creepiest villains ever in the franchise, and that is not a compliment. The thing I dislike most about them is the fact that it's suggested their homicidal psychopathy is actually due to the fact that they are gay. But really, no gay dudes in real life are that unfashionable and unkempt.

I love that when Bond tells Case to jump in the water at the end he looks back and realizes the ditz has already fallen in.

Plenty O'Toole? They're not even trying.

Mr. Kidd on-fire at the end was all right but the same gag used earlier on for the Asian soldier on the battlefield during a nuclear explosion was laughable.

It's so stupid how the movie treats Q cheating at a slot machine as a "gee whiz" invention instead of the grand theft it actually is. It Q actually a member of law enforcement or not?

Bond doesn't mind hitting women, but he doesn't like it when they hit back.

Not great. Not terrible, but I kind of wish Connery had gotten the excellent On Her Majesty's Secret Service as his swan song and Lazenby had gotten this one. **1/2.
