Summary: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME IS GREAT!
Review: THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST 007 MOVIE STARRING ROGER MOORE. RICHARD KEIL IS THE BEST VILLAIN AS HE PORTRAYS JAWS. BARBARA BACH IS ONE OF THE BEST BOND GIRLS AS MAJOR ANYA AMASOVA (XXX). THE THEME 'NOBODY DOES IT BETTER' IS ALSO ONE OF THE BEST BOND THEME SONGS.

Summary: This is the best Moore Bond film ever!!!
Review: This is definitely the best Bond movie starring Roger Moore that I have ever seen. The plot itself is not the greatest, but the characters of Moore as Bond, Jaws, Chandor, and Stromberg make the movie a success. The one aspect of the movie I wasn't too pleased with was Barbara Bach's questionable acting skills as Anya Amasova. Other than that, I was happy with the movie.

Summary: Bond is Back!
Review: 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.

Summary: Roger Moore gives his best Bond performance!
Review: If you call yourself a bond fan, and have not seen this movie then I would have to question your definition of the word fan. It has Jaws at his best, not his corny appearence in Moonraker, but his indestructable appearence. Please buy this movie and you will experience bond as you have never seen him before.

Summary: Absolutely stunning!
Review: From Jaws all the way down to Moore's style, this movie was most pleasing. I truly enjoyed all of the gadgets, and although boxy, Bond's new car. Q gave another good performance, and Bach did well in filling the bond-woman role. Just Jaws' presence seems to add uncertainty to an already unstable situation, which is a quality that most Bond films posess. The only bad part about this video was its theme song (very, very nauseating).

Summary: Roger Moore finally pulls it off in "The Spy Who Loved Me."
Review: After a so-so performance in "Live and Let Die," and a barely tolerable one in "Golden Gun," Roger Moore proves his capbilities as 007 in "The Spy Who Loved Me." Though it is the complete antithesis of what Connery had done with the character, it is the epitome of Roger Moore's Bond. Moore's finest Bond film, "Spy" features Richard Kiel as steel-toothed giant Jaws, Barbara Bach (one-time Mrs. Ringo Starr) as Russian agent Anya Amasova, Curt Jurgens as villain Stromberg, and Bond's amazing Lotus Esprit. While not as well-plotted as, say, "From Russia, with Love," "The Spy Who Loved Me" is a modern classic, and one of the top Bond films.

Summary: One of best Bonds by Moore
Review: I really enjoyed TSWLM and I would rank it as one the best Bonds besides "Goldfinger" "For Your Eyes Only" and "Tomorrow Never Dies." The plot of the movie resembles "You Only Live Twice" except that we have a supertanker swallowing submarines instead of a big spaceship swallowing astronauts. The main villain Stromberg is played by Curt Jergens, who like Blofield wants to cause World War III by pitting the U.S. against the Soviet Union. Like all Bond films, it begins with a spectacular pre-title sequence with the incredible stunt of the ski-jump. From this beginning sequence, you know that this one will be good. Roger Moore fits the role of 007 much more comfortably than his two previous outings. I enjoyed Barbara Bach as Triple X (Anya Amasova)-- not only was she a knock-out but she plays a Bond-girl who's intelligent and capable. (Of course, Bond has to rescue her in the end.) I also liked JAWS, played by Richard Kiel. He is the most memorable henchman besides Oddjob in Goldfinger and Red Grant in From Russia with Love. The character of JAWS also provides a lot of humor in the film. He is the man who never dies -- he even bites a shark in the end! Some of the Bond-girls were really great, especially Caroline Munro as Naomi, one of the villain Stromberg's femme fatales. It's too bad that she only appears so briefly in the movie. This movie features great action sequences as well. One of my favorite is when the Lotus turns into a submarine and fights it out with all the bad guys underwater. I would highly recommend the Special Edition DVD because not only is the picture and sound quality much better than the VHS, but it contains special features such as a audio-commentary from the director Lewis Gilbert and a special documentary on the making of TSWLM. As an avid 007 fan, I would rank this as one of the best by Moore and the best of the whole James Bond series. Highly recommended!

Summary: Great Bond Adventure
Review: This is the 10th film in the long-running "James Bond" series and the third to star Roger Moore as Bond. This entry is also my favorite in the series (well, so far it is as I have only seen five Bond films). 007 is on another mission to the save the world (what else?) in "The Spy Who Loved Me." A pair of nuclear submarines from England and Russia have strangely disappeared and Bond...James Bond, is assigned to retrieve a microfilm that has recorded the movements of the British sub. The Russians send their own spy, the beautiful Anya Amasova, to find the film as well. At first, Amasova and Bond attempt to outwit each other to get the film but eventually the pair are ordered to team up to get to the heart of the problem. The trail they follow leads them to billionaire Karl Stromberg who has a dastardly plan to destroy the Earth... This Bond episode works well thanks primarily to some good direction from Lewis Gilbert. Though the film is not well paced, Gilbert makes up for that with some excellent set pieces. I thought the fighting sequences on Stromberg's boat were particularly well done. There are some other good moments too, including the chase in the Lotus Espirit (which can transform into a submersible), the opening ski-chase, and Bond's dueling with steel-toothed bad guy Jaws. The acting here was serviceable, though I felt it left something to be desired. This happens to be the first Bond film I've seen in which Roger Moore is carrying the 007 moniker. Moore gets the job done but he seems to lack the edge of the two other Bond's I've seen: Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. Meanwhile, Barbara Bach has the looks for a typical Bond-girl but is a bit stiff in her role. Still, she gives an effective performance. One more thing worth noting is the theme song by Carly Simon, "Nobody Does It Better." I really liked it and it seems to complement the James Bond character well. This is a great entry in the 007 series. If you're a Bond fan (or even a non-fan) and haven't yet seen this episode, then be sure you do so. This movie will be a fresh reminder that indeed "Nobody Does It Better" than James Bond.
