The Spy Who Loved Me Reviews

Mar 31, 2025

Stylish, glossy & strong 007 epic. Jaws makes for a menacing henchman and one of the hottest Bond girls of the series. Peak Roger Moore here he actually looked younger than his 50 years! Definitely in my top 10.

It’s easily the best bond movie of the 70s and probably the best of the “Comic Book and OTT villain plans” Bond film; the script is great, every actor is on top form, great action sequences, beautiful production design and fantastic score

The pacing is good again and felt entertaining

Lotus submarine combined with the best ending line to a James Bond film is enough to keep me happy here. Jaws is one of my favourite side villains and I did enjoy the story overall

Outstays its welcome a bit, but lots of great characters and set pieces. One of the best Bond films for sure.

Con el característico estilo de las películas de la saga Bond, esta entrega nos sumerge nuevamente en un mundo de glamour, acción y villanos extravagantes. La dirección de Lewis Gilbert logra equilibrar los momentos de acción con los toques de humor, elementos distintivos del Bond de Roger Moore. La trama, aunque algo predecible en algunos aspectos, mantiene el interés gracias a un ritmo dinámico y a las locaciones exóticas que son, como siempre, un festín visual. El desempeño de Roger Moore como James Bond alcanza aquí uno de sus puntos más altos. Su interpretación combina el carisma y la ironía que se espera del agente 007, consolidándolo en el rol tras un par de entregas previas algo irregulares. Barbara Bach se une al elenco como un personaje femenino que, aunque atractivo y elegante, carece de la profundidad necesaria para destacarse por completo. Sin embargo, su interacción con Moore aporta momentos memorables a la historia. La banda sonora de Marvin Hamlisch merece una mención especial, destacándose como una de las más icónicas de la saga. La canción principal, "Nobody Does It Better", interpretada por Carly Simon, se convirtió en un clásico instantáneo y aporta un tono romántico que equilibra la intensidad de las escenas de acción. La dirección artística y los decorados, aunque no tan impresionantes como en otras entregas, cumplen con los estándares visuales de la franquicia. El villano principal y su secuaz, un personaje de características exageradas, añaden el toque de fantasía que caracteriza a muchas de las películas de Bond. Sin embargo, algunos de los enfrentamientos se sienten más caricaturescos que tensos, restando algo de impacto a los momentos clave de la trama. En conjunto, esta película es un ejemplo sólido de la era de Roger Moore como 007. Aunque no llega a ser la más destacada de la saga, contiene suficientes elementos entretenidos para satisfacer tanto a los fanáticos como a los espectadores casuales. La mezcla de acción, humor y estilo sigue siendo efectiva, incluso si algunos detalles narrativos no alcanzan el mismo nivel de excelencia.

Keeping the British end up, sir.

A first class Bond Film, with a great opening scene, brilliant theme tune and every box you could tick for a James Bond film 10/10

Unless you just want a good laugh, I have to say the film is about as awful as every other Bond film starring Roger Moore, with one exception. Octopussy is without a doubt the worst film in the series.

Nov 18, 2024

In my top two Bond films of all time. It has everything in it extremely fun to watch and is a classic. Definitely must see!!!

What can I say more than its bond and beyond and I love it

The very stuff that makes it a family movie makes it hard to take seriously. The Spy Who Loved Me takes a turn toward the childish with the appearance of the Jaws character. His cartoonish teeth turn out to be his go-to weapon and make for a bunch of silly scenes. On the positive side a number of the set pieces were quite impressive. But they fell into the category of "how can we do something cool" rather than supporting the story. The family friendly vibe was oddly juxtaposed against Barbara Bachs character, who seemed to be taking the plot seriously.

this is definitely Mount Rushmore of Bond, Roger is my favourite Bond so why not have one of the best Bond films ever. Love this to bits, 9.5/10

May 14, 2024

I think this is Roger Moore's best bond movie!! I love the set pieces The Villian is Amazing Jaws Is Unforgettable Barbara Bach is the Best bond girl This is the Best bond Movie ever My Favorite Bond movie

Apr 25, 2024

Spy who loved me is probably the best Roger Moore bond film for a number of different reasons like a good plot, action, the bond girl and the tongue and cheek nature of it. Also, it gave us an iconic villain in Jaws.

Despite a myriad of production woes that threatened to torpedo its production, including the financial difficulties and ultimate ousting of poor Harry Saltzman, The Spy Who Loved Me represents a newfound energy for the 007 franchise proving to audiences once and for all that nobody does it better than Sir James Bond. I know I previously singled out On Her Majesty's Secret Service as the best-looking film of the entire franchise, but I'll be damned if this doesn't come in a close second. The scale of the production is enormous, with a returning Lewis Gilbert in the director's chair and he doesn't waste a frame, populating the runtime with exhilarating, high-octane action and gorgeously photographed visuals courtesy of Claude Renoir. Ken Adam's set work is positively superb and genuinely immense, while Marvin Hamlisch delivers a fantastically funky disco-oriented score with elements of classical music. It's a great score and one that's crying out for a proper expanded release given how much of it is unreleased. Roger Moore is on top form throughout and the chemistry he shares with Barbara Bach's Triple X is wonderful; Curt Jürgens certainly makes an impression as Stromberg but is more often than not overshadowed by the colossal Richard Kiel as the ever-iconic and virtually indestructible Jaws, despite his villainous status he's impossible to hate, offering plenty of laughs mixed with a genuine sense of terror, a real gem of the screen. Delivering sleek style, incredible wit and a heartfelt romance, ultimately, The Spy Who Loved Me is the kind of film that can get away with everything and one that truly deserves to.

70% rating ... Probably the best Roger Moore - James Bond film.

Jan 9, 2024

Aunque la película muestra momentos ridículos y tramas irrisorias estás están en su mejor momento logrando una película entretenida, desafortunadamente de aquí en adelante todo va cuesta abajo para Roger Moore

Dec 30, 2023

The only successful Roger Moore Bond film.

Dec 23, 2023

Camp and bombastic are permitted as mechanisms of comic relief when faced with a demigod hellbent on armageddon.
