Review of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) by K. C — 16 Jun 2011
The Spy who reinvented himself...
Following 'Golden Gun', some thought Bond may have run his course. Roger Moore returned, but put a stop to such thoughts, for a while. 'Spy' takes all the good points of Cold War paranoia and makes light of them, all while making a really good 007 effort. It's not one of Moore's best Bond's but a good Bond vehicle all the same.
Originally premised as a Goldfinger re-duex, the story unfolded from maniacle twin brother who loves the water out for revenge, to just maniac who loves the water with nuclear weapons. Although light on the gadgetry and heavy on the vehicles, there just wasn't enough Spy caper to make up for it all. This film does, however, open with what some refer to as the best '007 opening montage' of all the films. Add a Marvin Hamlisch score...
Definately a popcorn movie.
