Review of Diamonds Are Forever (1971) by Adrian B — 10 Nov 2012

Connery's last film in which he played the legendary Bond is a disappointment. Here we have, once again and I am still surprised by this, Bond tracking down "M" who screws his plans up by creating duplicates of himself and his cat.

He searches for him in The Netherlands and the United States (specifically Las Vegas) and gets mixed with a broad and two gay guys. Some good sequences but a letdown thanks to the insignificant concluding fight scene at the end.

My mouth dropped to how non-dramatic that was. With a name like "Diamonds Are Forever," which spawned a hit single Shirley Bassey, it's a real shame that it is not great film, nor a particularly good one.
