Review of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) by Dann M — 15 Sep 2012
East and West collide in The Spy Who Loved Me, a most disappointing and uninspiring Bond film. This time the disappearances of British and Soviet nuclear submarines necessitates that the two countries work together and assign their top spies, 007 and XXX, to uncover the culprits.
The acting is especially poor, Roger Moore and Barbara Bach have no chemistry, and the villains have no personality; especially Jaws, who's a cartoonish buffoon. And, the '70s disco soundtrack does nothing to help the film; the only saving grace is the exceptional theme song by Carly Simon, "Nobody Does It Better.
" The Spy Who Loved Me is a pitiful entry into the Band franchise, and shows a lack of effort and a deficit of ideas.
