Great Globe-Trotting, Spectacular Locations, thrilling action and fun vibe Roger Moore did more official James Bond films as secret agent 007 than any other actor. He started the role when he was almost 45 years-old and ended his 7-film stint at 57. His third Bond film was “The Spy Who Loved Me” released in 1977 and it’s one of the most entertaining movies in the series. The plot revolves around 007 teaming up with female Russian agent XXX (yeah right) to prevent world-hating Karl Stromb…

Not my favourite outing for "James Bond" this one, perhaps because the opening snow-scape scenes rely too heavily on green screen - maybe Roger Moore didn't like skiing, or just couldn't get insured - but in any case he certainly never left Pinewood for the first ten minutes here. It then leads into one of the more preposterous stories in which he must team up with the glamorous Soviet agent "Amasova" (Barbara Bach) to track down what has happened to two nuclear submarines that have vanished. It…

Now, I am 100% in the "Sean Connery was the greatest Bond and had the greatest 007 movies ever made" camp... ... so take it to heart when I say that this is Roger Moore's greatest outing as 007 and one of the best 007 movies (with one of the best 007 introductory songs) ever made. This is Roger Moore at his absolute finest in a games bond movie with Barbra Bach being a great female spy with one of the best, most suggestive, Bond Girl names since Honor Blackman's (this review probably won't…

**The Spy Who Loved Me gives Roger Moore the perfect formula to show off his goofy Bond charm with exotic locations, extravagant gadgets, big battle scenes, and a great supporting cast.** The Spy Who Loved Me is my favorite Roger Moore and one of the best classic Bond films. Live and Let Die was his first and a less conventional Bond movie. Man with the Gold Gun was ok, but The Spy Who Loved Me finally fired on all cylinders for Moore. Beautiful locations, exciting villains, a catastrophic nu…

We have here the ultimate 007 film. This one not only has the aspects that make 007 films great: beautiful scenery, exotic settings, beautiful women, wit, non stop action, adventure, gadgets, etc., but it also has an epic story, the best of all the Bond films. The story is a woman, who is quite capable, finds out her lover has been killed, and she vows to kill the man who killed her lover, but as the story progresses, she finds out that this man was not the devil she believed. There is, of co…

I love The Spy Who Loved Me. This film is one I can never get enough of, overtime I think of it or hear of it I want to watch it, it's just that damn good. This is my brothers favourite Bond film and a number 4 spot on my ranking, The Spy Who Loved Me is nothing but a cinematic masterpiece.
