One of the Best (Or the one with the oil tanker!)

Everything about this instalment is impressive, the huge oil tanker interiorset, the special effects, the locations, the beautiful Barbara Bach (withlooks like that we will overlook some of her slightly dodgier acting momentshere!) and of course the pulse rousing Bond 77 music!!Then there is the eye-popping opening ski parachute jump – it's a pity thesedays this would have been bodged together with poor CGI.Only the Bond films could possibly get permission to film inside the docksof a real nuclear submarine base in the height of the cold war - now that iscool! Worth watching out for here was the first appearance of Robert Brown asAdmiral Hargreaves, he would later go on to become the second M in laterinstalments. Also returning to the series is Walter Gotell as GeneralGogol.Yes there are a few hammy moments and some of the one to one scenes betweenBond and Anya are cringingly badly scripted and more hammy than a pork chopbut if you can overlook these minor faults then this is most definitely oneof the best of Moore's instalments.

The Spy Who Loved Me

The best of the Roger Moore Bond films. Bond must team up with sexy Russian spy XXX to stop a crazy industrialist, Stromberg, from destroying the world and creating a new world under the sea. The mix of adventure and comedy help to make this a great Bond film.

Very good elements but plot is too grandiose

The Spy Who Loved Me combines solid characters and fun gadgets with agrandiose plot. The plot is about the mad dream of Karl Stromberg, whoattempts to destroy the surface world with nuclear weapons in order tocreate a new world under the sea. Bond, of course, attempts to stop him andsave the world. The plot is in the 'suspend your reality' style and justbecomes too large for it's own good. The characters are some of the mostinteresting in the series and are in the style of From Russia With Love andGoldfinger. Barbara Bach as XXX is goofily stereotypical but is also astrong, smart and capable adversary turned heroine. Her number is one ofthe best touches since Pussy Galore and her battle of wits with Bond is ahighlight of the movie. Richard Kiel as Jaws starts as a pretty goodvillain but gets too ridiculous as he becomes increasingly superhuman. CurtJurgens as Stromberg makes a nice villain of the more sedentary type. RogerMoore is allowed to show some vulnerable moments and his performance isallowed to show more depth then his previous Bond roles. The submarine caris unbelievable but fun and the opening is the best in the series. Theunbelievable plot pulls through for the most part, mostly due to thecharacters, but is repeated with emphasis in the next movie, Moonraker,arguably the worst Bond in the series. It's a fine line. The Spy Who LovedMe is a good effort and the best Moore Bond until For Your Eyes Only. 6.9/10

Along the way he meets the nasty CarlStromberg (Curt Jurgens), and his henchmen (the best henchmen of themall), tall metal-toothed Jaws (Richard Kiel), he returns in the nextBond.

Great Globe-Trotting, Spectacular Locations, and... CAROLINE MUNRO

Roger Moore did more official James Bond films as secret agent 007 than any other actor. He started the role in 1973 when he was 45 years old and ended his 7-film run at the age of 57 in 1985. His fourth film was THE SPY WHO LOVED ME released in 1977. I used to believe this was the best film of his stint, but after seeing all the Moore pictures recently I no longer feel this way. THE SPY WHO LOVES ME certainly has some aspects that are as good or better than any of the other films in Moore's stint, but it also has a couple of weak elements that make it one of the worst. Allow me to explain as I point out the films strengths and weaknesses:THE PLOT: James Bond teams up with female Russian agent XXX (yeah right) to prevent world-hating Karl Stromberg from starting World War III by stealing nuclear subs. Stromberg doesn't care if the world kills itself because he lives as a mad recluse on a crab-like submersible dream home called "Atlantis." The giant steel-toothed Jaws assists Stromberg along with the beautiful raven-haired Naomi.WHAT WORKS: The top item I demand in any Bond flick is exciting globe-trotting and, consequently, great locations. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME delivers in spades! Heck, the opening teaser starts with a thrilling ski chase that culminates in a spectacular jump from Baffin Island's Mt. Asgard (Canada). The DVD is worth owning for this incredible stunt alone!From there we get the Sahara desert, Cairo, the Nile River and the great pyramids of Giza, as well as the Italian Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Scotland and the Bahamas. These are all fabulous locations to say the least.Richard Kiel as the giant Jaws is both intimidating and amusing. The on-going joke is that NOTHING can stop or kill him.Barbara Bach is good as Agent XXX and certainly possesses an exotic beauty, but watch her get utterly blown out of the water by the gorgeous Caroline Munro when she is introduced as Naomi. Many cite Ursula Andress' coming out of the water in a white bikini in DR. NO as the ultimate Bond-babe moment but Caroline's introduction here is a serious rival; it's, at least, the second best Bond-babe moment (and, please, don't EVEN mention Halle Berry in DIE ANOTHER DAY). The only problem with Caroline's role is that it is way too brief. Check her out in THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD (1974) to see her in a more prominent role. Some editions of the DVD include an over-40-minute documentary on THE SPY WHO LOVED ME that includes a fairly recent interview with Ms. Munro. Believe it or not, she's almost as beautiful today as she was back in 1977, not to mention she has a vibrant, pleasant and humble personality.Another great aspect of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is that its fun globe-trotting sequences give it an undeniable Indiana Jones feel, even though it was made four years before the first Indiana Jones flick. WATCH OUT for the great sequence wherein Bond's car turns into a submarine as he attempts to flee Naomi in a helicopter. WHAT DOESN'T WORK: Many compositions in Bond films are timeless, like FOR YOUR EYES ONLY from 1981, but the disco score to THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is horribly dated. Still, it doesn't personally bug me that much. I can live with it. Others can't.The main problem with THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is that Stromberg and his mad scheme fail to sustain the viewer's interest. Every time I seen this film I run out of interest by the 90-minute mark (with a full 35 minutes to go). Don't get me wrong, the many globe-trotting sequences are fun and exciting, certainly some of the best in the entire series, but the story as a whole runs out of steam about an hour and a half into it. The last 30 minutes contain numerous fight/action scenes but they're boring; the viewer simply doesn't care about the outcome. By contrast, the other six Moore films in the series retain the viewer's interest from beginning to end with no problem, yes, even THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, MOONRAKER and A VIEW TO A KILL. So THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is in some ways the best film of the Moore era, but in others the worst. Regardless, it's a mandatory purchase or rental if you're in the mood for a mindless, high-energy Bond flick. As for Roger Moore's take on Bond. I guess you either like him or you don't. Regardless of his age Moore always looked great and perfectly convincing as 007 throughout his run. Back in 2003 I saw most of the Bond films (the ones I didn't see I was already well familiar, like GOLDFINGER) and concluded that Roger Moore's seven films are the most consistently entertaining. Yes, Sean Connery is great and his stint is generally more serious, but who can deny the color and vibrancy of the Moore films? All of his pictures are incredibly entertaining and were hugely successful at the box office. Even the heavily maligned MOONRAKER and A VIEW TO A KILL are great. They may have more goofy or amusing elements, which are actually funny by the way, but they remain essentially serious stories; they never go overboard into the rut of parody or camp (although they come darn close at times!). Seriously, I get sick of hearing all the complaints about Moore's stint in the series. All of his films are great Bond adventures. There's not a dud in the bunch; I don't care what any one says. They certainly blow away any of the Brosnan/Dalton films.

One of the best

The Spy Who Loved Me is a fabulous Bond film. Roger Moore made his best Bondfilm with this 1977 release. Everything about it is great, amazing stunts,fantastic car, great Bond girls and a very good performance as 007 by Moore.Oh and this one has Jaws who gives Oddjob and Grant a run for their money asbest henchman in the series. The only thing I thought was wrong with this isa slightly boring main villain and too much disco in the score, apart fromthat, brilliant. This breathed new life into the series, and was the bestBond film since On Her Majestys Scret Service. This is the film that made mea Bond fan way back when ITV first screened it. ***9/10***

Best Bond after Goldfinger

Having been accused of stealing the plot of You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved ME merely vastly improved on it. This BOnd has everything! Great story, a crazed nautical villain who resides in a futuristic and fantastical stronghold, the most memorable henchman since Oddjob in the form of Jaws, great locations, great music by Marvin Hamlisch, a great theme song performed by Carly Simon, great titles by Maurice Binder...like Goldfinger, all the ingredients are present and used to the full. Although I think the violent fight on the tanker near the finale was a bit excessive. Also, don't forget the women..the most alluring assemblage since Thunderball. Barbara Bach makes a great Triple X. Although I have to admit that her character did next to nothing near the end, being tied up and let Bond save the world. Caroline Munro made a stunning villainess in a bikini...although it was unfortunate that her role was rather small. Olga Bisera and Sue Vanner round up the other women that Bond dallies with. This is the best of the Moore films. It is to him what Goldfinger is to Connery, and perhaps the World Is Not Enough to Brosnan.

The spy who loved me

This review is from: The Spy Who Loved Me (DVD) This is one of the many 007 videos I have to replace since I gave away all of my VCR tapes.

Great Bond movie with a great plot

This is probably one of the greatest plots of all time. A woman vowsvengeance upon the man who killed her lover, only to find the man doesnot warrant killing. This plot would make a movie great in itself. Addto that the super slick adventure of a classic Bond movie, with all thewit, and you've got a masterpiece. There is plenty of Bond action inthis one. There is plenty of Bond wit. There are plenty of Bond women.And the chief ingredient of Bond movies, the scenery. The attractive,exotic venues, are there. We have the desert, the ocean, the ski slopesof the snowy mountains, submarines, underwater, pyramids, Egypt, theNile, and we even have trains. All that's missing are the volcanoes andouter space. And we also have the great characters from Bond's groupand the KGB in enlarged roles. Characters we can't get enough of. TheKGB leader, Q, and M are outstanding. A hundred years form now, thismovie will still be a "must see."

An Explosive Bond Entry, One of The Best!

First there was Connery, then Lazenby borrowed the role for just one memorable outing and then there was Roger Moore. If Roger Moore is remembered as the second best Bond it will be largely because of this elaborate Bond entry. Of course Moore is no Connery as Bond, he lacks Connery's natural style and wit. But the movie makes up with splash and spectacle what it lacks in wit. This is the best of the Roger Moore Bond entries and it is also the film that introduced Jaws, a 7-foot indestructible hulk with steel jaws. One of the most memorable of all the Bond villains and a worthy adversary, Bond actually struggles with him in the fighting sequences. He in fact proved to be so popular that he came back for a few more rounds with our agent 007. Barbara Bach is particularly memorable as Russian Agent XXX. And kicking off this action extravaganza is an exciting skiing sequence where Moore's stunt double really outdoes himself. Filled with memorable action sequences throughout. But a triple-threat chase sequence where Bond has to deal with a motorcycle, a car and a helicopter is a highlight. Filled with extravagant sets and a particularly playful and inventive score accompanies all the action. Bond's 'underwater vehicle' is the best Bond car since Connery's fully loaded Aston-Martin. An elaborate Bond episode that is filled with breakneck stunts, exciting action sequences, beautiful women and evil villains. One of the best in the series. And not because it captures the essence of Ian Fleming's original idea, which it doesn't, but because it is so much fun. And this also features the song 'Nobody Does It Better', which is actually really good. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 7!

Beautiful music and cinematography

Roger Moore is really the coolest of all Bonds - he never sweats. And Iprefer my Bond with an ENGLISH accent - not Scottish or Australian. "The SpyWho Loved Me" I found very slow-moving during its first hour, kept alivemainly by the beautiful music and cinematography. But the second hour Ifound absolutely irresistible. The scene of the Lotus Esprit turning into amini-sub must be one the most unforgettable Bond sequences. 007's romancewith the beautiful and intelligent Russian agent was one of the best, andthe ending of the film was a hoot! I wish the current Bond films wouldinclude some of the more stylish villain henchmen like"Jaws".

The best Moore film

Roger Moore's breakthrough film, TSWLM, is arguably his best. The girls are great, including Barbara Bach, Caroline Munro, Sue Vanner, and Olga Bisera. I absolutely love the pre-title ski chase, and the gunfight aboard the Liparus is excellent. The cinematography is top-notch, and the sets by Ken Adam (Dr.No), (You Only Live Twice) are quite possibly the best in the entire series. Roger Moore proves he can give a better performance playing the campy, comic, self-deprecating Bond better than the serious, espionage Bond he played in For Your Eyes Only even though he does give a pretty good performance. However, even though he specializes in playing the comic Bond,he certainly isn't as suave, witty, or good overall as Sean Connery, who delivered an excellent performance in Diamonds Are Forever and a fairly good one in Never Say Never Again. Carly Simon's Nobody Does It Better title theme is my third favorite in the series, and the score is my third favorite also. Curt Jurgens is a good villain, yet he takes a back seat to the lead henchmen Jaws, just as Kananga takes a back seat to Tee-Hee and Baron Samedi. Overall, my fifth favorite Bond film.

Perhaps Roger Moore's Best!

This movie is full of wonders! This is perhaps the best of the JamesBond series to star Roger Moore! It's a pity that this was not a SPECTRE one, because Stromberg remindedme a lot of our good friend and villain, Blofeld! However, I was reallycreeped out a little when I heard that Stromberg had webbed hands,because that is a little creepy.Out of all of the Bond films that I have seen, this one ranks prettyhigh in my list, and especially the submarine car, because that was acool gadget!This movie is perhaps the best of the Roger Moore Bond films, becauseit is just very marvelous to watch and enjoy, I enjoyed every singlebit of it, from start to finish, I was cheering all the way through!This movie is big time fun, the results are something very marvelous tosee!10/10

The huge budget shows

the massive budget this film was given certainly shows. the scenery and set pieces are spectacular. This is another great bond film, with yet another great cast. After i had watched this about three times, someone told me they thought the plot was very similar to You Only Live twice. I can honestly say i had never realised. Looking at it now, i can see similaririts, but when i first saw it, the sames were obviously majorly outweighed by the "differents", so that statement really holds no water. All bond films are similar to another in some way, it is impossible for them to not be. The plot is a good one, but when i saw Moonraker, i realised that with that film they had just taken the plot from TSWLM, and put it into space. so i was slightly disappointed. The acting here is good, with Roger Moore slightly downplaying the aspects of humour which seems to creep in with his previous two. Which is a good thing. the overt humour in some of the moore films really doesn't work. The villain of this piece is played very well by Curt Jurgens. However, he is slightly unbderplayed, and doesn't really get enough screen time. So come the end, his death seems anticlimatic and he doesn't really build up any sense of menace. Jaws on the other hand......is one of the best henchmen in a Bond film ever. Maybe even THE best. Whenever he is on, the screen shimmers with menace and fear. So much so that he was brough back (although slightly less sucessfully, in moonraker) The auidiences loved him. And no surprise. he is a great character, played excellently by Richard Keil. The tension between the two spies is great, bristling. And the extra subplot of Bond having been the kilelr of the man (spy) she loved adds an extra dimension to the film, and their characters. Barabara Bach is a good bond girl, but with a slightly shaky Russian accent. Another asset to the film, and indeed the entire series, is the introduction of Gogol as M's counterpart in the KGB. He is the best recurring character to grace any of the Bond films. Another great haracter in this film is Carter, the captain of the USS Wayne. He is acted brilliantly, and is a brave, courageous man. If the directors had chosen to turn him into Bond's "friend" and featured him in other films, this would be have been a good move. The last half hour of this film is probably the best and most stuning finale to any Bond film ever. This is maybe not the best Bond of them all, but it's certainly up there in the top five.

Overrated James Bond fare

"The Spy Who Loved Me" was the first movie I saw on a big screen when Iwas kid back in 1977. I didn't care much for it then, and seeing itrecently again, I still don't care much for it. TSWLM is a bloatedJames Bond film with some albeit great things going for it: excellentproduction design, excellent theme song and some spectacular exoticlocations. But that's about it. The biggest drawback in TSWLM is theterrible screenplay. The story is extremely weak and a dull villain,Karl Stromberg, who seemingly sits down throughout the movie. Here's arundown of the film's biggest problems:Silly scenes, part 1: The intro. Where in hell is that cabin on thatmountain? How did Bond get there at the cabin? If he's skying backdown, how did he get up there? The mountain (this scene was shot in theCanadian Rockies) is thousands of miles high. And there's one single,solitary cabin way up there, with no road or other access to it? If thewoman Bond was with worked for the spy Sergei Borzov, why didn't shetry to kill Bond in the cabin? And don't get me started with thatjumping off the cliff and parachute scene. Showy and ridiculous.Silly scenes, part 2: The whole part at the Pyramids doesn't make anysense. Why is Fekkesh frightened of Jaws when he sees him? How doesFekkesh know that Jaws is after him? Why does Jaws leave the addressbook with Fekkesh's dead body? The whole moment was simply conceivedjust accompany the music from the Pyramids' show.Silly scenes, part 3: At the bar, when Bond and Triple X meet. Bothspies are aware that they're spies. With covers like this, who needsspy agencies? Then they proceed to get the microfilm from the owner ofthe bar. As the two try to outbid each other for the microfilm, theowner gets a phone call and has to go to a public phone to receive hiscall. Why? Shouldn't the bar owner, who didn't look poor, have his ownphone? And knowing he was holding a very sought after microfilm,wouldn't he have been a bit more careful and played it a bit more safe?Silly scenes, part 4: when Stromberg kills the woman by dropping her inthe shark tank, why does Stromberg even bother going through all ofthat theatricality when the two businessmen never leave the underwatercity alive? Why doesn't Stromberg just shoot the woman and the twobusinessmen on the spot and dump the bodies in the sea? This would havesaved us 10 minutes of our lives.Deja Vu: The train scene is reminiscent of "Live and Let Die" and "FromRussia With Love."Never-ending chase scenes: the chase scene near the Mediterranean seais very long and cheesy. The motorcycle with the passenger seat/missilethingy is ludicrous. Probably the most useless, ineffective weapon everused in an action movie: it only has one missile and the missile isvery slow, and the motorcyclist doesn't even stop after releasing themissile, driving along towards the soon to be exploding target.Brilliant. And when Bond goes underwater in the Lotus Esprit, Triple Xis shocked and frightened. Then, at the end of the underwater chasescene, Triple X presses a button as if she really knows the car'sdesign and tells Bond she's already seen the car's blueprints. Well, ifshe had already seen the car's blueprints before, why was she surprisedwhen they went under water? She should have known the car was capableof going under water.Not a spy movie anymore: After Bond and Triple X are chased by everysilly villain or device imaginable (but the kitchen sink) by Stromberg,the two go back to their hotel room like nothing had happened. Thisscene is totally illogical. Stromberg knows that Bond and Triple X areat the hotel, the Bond girl Naomi (a hot Caroline Munro) met themthere. I'm aware that spying in James Bond movies never really existedper se but this nonchalant behavior from the two by going back to theirhotel room after knowing their cover has been blown wide open is silly.Very lazy writing here.Brain Dead Villain: Stromberg wants to cause nuclear annihilation sothat the world would start living under the oceans after the earth'ssurface would become unliveable. Huh? Again, this doesn't make anysense at all. A massive nuclear catastrophe would cause a nuclearwinter and other ecological disasters, which would directly affect theoceans all around the globe. The oceans would start dying as soon asthe "circle of life" chain would be affected (the polluted rain andrivers spilling into the oceans, etc).Slow going and too many endings: the ending is very long. And there aremultiple endings: The massive shootout. The stand-off. The deactivatingof the nuclear weapon. The redirecting of the nuclear missiles. Goingto Stromberg. Rescuing Triple X and leaving the sinking underwatercity.The score: the song, "Nobody Does It Better" is great. No questionabout it. But the disco soundtrack during the enire film is dated andchintzy. John Barry is sorely missed here.Silly references: the "Lawrence of Arabia" bits, and other such cheesymoments add little credibility to the whole proceedings.I could go on and on but I don't have to. Needless to say, TSWLM is notas good as everyone claims it to be. Moore is comfortable as Bond butthe rest of the movie is hampered by a ludicrous & lazy script. It'smost definitely overrated.

Baby, Baby You're the Best

This is the Best of the Bond Films Starring Roger Moore. Barbara Bach is so sexy in this movie. Jaws is the ultimate bad guy. This film features Carly Simon's number 1 song "Nobody does it better".

2012-04-25 03:53:10

The best of Moore's 'FX show' Bonds

The Spy Who Loved Me holds up, along with You Only Live Twice, as the best of the special effects show Bond movies (like Lewis Gilbert's other Bond, the dire Moonraker, it more or less shares the same plot and even identical camera set-ups in places). Planned to turn the Bonds back into blockbusters after the somewhat more down to Earth Harry Saltzman left the series, Cubby Broccoli plays safe with a virtual `greatest hits' compilation album of all your favorite Bond setpieces (the train fight from From Russia With Love, a gadget-filled car a la Goldfinger, a ski chase a la OHMSS, etc), but its put together with skill, panache and a sense of the epic that carries you along. Moore's Bond still has a bit of steel in him and the script is so good you find yourself wondering if it really is the same Christopher Wood responsible for the British soft-porn Confessions series credited as co-writer. As with others in the series, the upgrade to 2-disc `Ultimate Edition' at times feels more cosmetic than actual in terms of extras (as usual, there are plenty of other potential supplements, such as Movietone newsreel footage of the shoot, that have not been included), although alongside brief archive footage of the massive purpose-built 007 Stage being dedicated, a vintage Roger Moore and a 1977 promo featurette covering the shoot in Egypt there are production designer Ken Adams' home movies of the shoot and a storyboard sequence. But, alongside Moore's new commentary, perhaps the most enjoyable extras are the TV spots and the teaser trailer introduced by Moore in character carried over from the previous issue.

Bond is Back!

Finally, Roger Moore has got it right. After two uncertain tries, he has finally made his own James Bond. The one-liners come a little easier now, and he looks comfortable at last. Plot: Carl Stromberg is plotting to destroy New York and Moscow, using missiles from the respective countries' nuclear submarines, in order to create a sea-based world. Bond teams up with Russia's Agent XXX(Name:Amasova) to stop Stromberg. Strong story, good music, and a great evil henchman, the powerful Jaws.

The Spy Who Loved the Girls, the Actions and the Locations

What can you expect in a good Bond movie other than action, gadgets andgizmos, bad guys, hot babes, exotic locations, and sex? 'The Spy WhoLoved Me' has all these ingredients. This is definitely one of the moreenjoyable Bond flicks. Moore is cool, confident and funny as 'Bond'.Bach looks so hot...who cares if she can act or not? Though unlike mostbond babes, Bach is portrayed as an independent women who herself is anagent. She and Moore do share a sizzling chemistry. Kiel is scary andJurgens is sort of a funny villain who wants to create earth in thesea. Ken Adams's set design is mind-blowing. The gadgets are brilliant.Special effects are superb (for its time). Carly Simon's theme 'Nobodydoes it Better' remains one of the most memorable Bond tracks. DirectorGilbert does a fine job. If you're looking for a good action movie,check this one out. I think you'll like it.
