Review of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) by Troy F — 07 Jul 2012
This can't be the same Roger Moore I saw in the last two films! I actually did rather enjoy his previous entries, but he had a corny side to him as well as some corny action that was more or less a turnoff to most viewers.
Here Roger Moore redeems himself best as a tougher more serious minded Bond in his best entry and one of the best Bond films of the series, The Spy Who Loved Me. This film nailed down everything to love from a Bond film, like superbly menacing villains that are surely unforgettable in the Bond universe, a great chemistry with the Bond girl Barbara as one of the best, terrific action and special effects for the time, and an easy to follow narrative involving the threat of nuclear weaponry with submarines.
Roger Moore may never exactly reach the heights that Sean Connery was at, but this film is proof that Moore can surely come "close" to matching Connery's superb personality as an exciting Bond hero.
