Review of Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by Alexander D — 02 Aug 2011

This Bond film has a rather different feel for a good, say, forty minutes of it. Not that that's at all about thing. DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER stars Robert Wagner's future wife (Jill St. John) as the lead Bond girl in this "return of Sean Connery" (he makes yet another return in the non-EON, unofficial 1980s film NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN).

But that's not all. Sometimes especially for a 1971 film, this picture emphasizes quite tediously and heavily on the major things that make James Bond who he is: thrills, nudity, talkiness, and, of course, the line, "Bond.

James Bond." Overall, this is definitely one of the better Bond films, and it should most surely be viewed "for all eyes...only." (Who cares whether or not that makes any sense?).
