Diamonds Are Forever
(1971)
Directed by Guy
Hamilton this seventh film in the popular spy series is based on the
novel of the same name and features the return of Sean Connery. After
dispatching his arch enemy in the pre-title sequence Bond is shipped
off to Holland to deal with some diamond smugglers.
After an excellent 6th
film in the series this entry is a serious let down with a plot that
goes from mundane to silly without much in between. It is hard to
find much to like about this film and it even lacks the iconic
locations that help gloss over the flaws in many a weak Bond film.
Bringing back Connery was probably not the brightest idea either as
the star is starting to age as well as carry a few extra pounds.
2/5
