Summary: Best Roger Moore Bond, one of the better Bonds.
Review: The 10th installment of Bond takes a departure from Ian Flemming's 'The Spy Who Loved Me' who wrote the original novel. However, approx. 15 different writers had there hand in sequel, and it shows, for 'Spy' was a huge success at the time for the Bond franchise. Here James Bond, (Roger Moore) begins the movie with a ski scene (close up special effects in '77 where a bit 'cheesy' for camera close-ups) that ends with a triumphant jump off a cliff. This was an actual stunt, which was HUGE in 1977 and has yet to be replicated today (see included documentary). After the opening, and always sexy credits, we learn that James must recover microfilm that holds the secret on who and how is capturing British nuclear subs (with warheads). However, Russian agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) is after the same prize, for Russian subs are also 'disappearing'. This takes the competing agents to Egypt where they both have run-ins with each other and numerous hench-men who oppose them. Enter Jaws (Richard Kiel) the 7+ foot silent indestructible henchmen who with steel teeth can kill with one bite. James and Anya (in a very funny and action packed sequence) must escape Jaws in an ancient Egyptian temple. Soon our agents learn that their respective governments will pool their resources meaning Anya and James must now work together to thwart evil plans. Again this takes them to exotic locals, and finally aboard a super tanker which when inside, is clearly not what it appears to be. James and Anya discover a far more nefarious plot to the occurrence of the missing submarines. Our main villain, Karl Stromberg wishes to eradicate New York and Moscow with nuclear weapons thus beginning WWIII. James must take the fight to Stromberg, aboard his submersible city ,Atlantis (an awesome Ken Adam design), while always staying one step ahead of Jaws and other traps that await our British agent. Expect many chase sequences on land, air and sea along with many new Bond gadgets (supplied by 'Q' of course) and requisite Bond beauties. Good video transfer to DVD. Picture is as sharp as I can remember, however, the audio could have been punched up a bit. Extras: Better than most DVD's, but lacking what you would expect from the Bond series.
1) Excellent audio commentary of movie by director Lewis Gilbert, production designer Ken Adams, and more. Was really a thrill to listen to this. Chock full of behind the scenes trivia, and 'How they did that'. 2) Multiple movie trailers and TV/Radio spots. Okay, a little repetitive, but all the trailers and commercials you can think of. 3) Collectors book. Small 6 page leaflet with some pics and commentary. 4) Excellent Bond documentary on Set Design with Oscar winner Ken Adams. About 15 minutes in length, Ken Adams discusses many of his elaborate set designs for many of his Bond movies including Moonraker, Diamonds are Forever, Thunderball, Goldfinger and Dr. No. 5) 40 minute documentary on behind the scenes of filming/making The Spy Who Loved Me. Interviews with Roger Moore, Richard Kiel, other Bond girls, producers, stunt-men, etc. Pretty cool. See models used and built, and learn many movie making special effect secrets. 6) Still Gallery- Collection of production stills and promotional pictures with cast and crew.

Summary: "Lavish, lively adventure!"
Review: Moore's best entry as Bond finds him paired with the gorgeous Russian agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) investigating the dissapearance of several submarines. This lavish, lively adventure features some of the most spectacular stunts of any of the Bond films. The scripting, direction, and performances are all excellent. Stromberg (Curt Furgens) is a most memorable heavy, along with the introduction of the steel-toothed Jaws (Richard Kiel).

Summary: James Bond For The 1970s!
Review: Of the Roger Moore outings, this one is not only the most prototypical of the Roger Moore flicks, but probably also best defines the direction the 007 franchise took in the 1970s. Some points stand out, especially the Marvin Hamlisch soundtrack and the Carly Simon theme song. Both are rather dated to younger ears but are still excellent, and "Nobody Does It Better" is pretty much tied with Shirley Bassey's "Diamonds Are Forever" in terms of musical style. Also noteworthy is Barbara Bach's Agent XXX (hmm ...): no more the patience with masculine hijinks evinced by Moneypenny (still Lois Maxwell, but sadly reduced to a practical perfunctory cameo), nor the breathless melt of previous Bond girls, but a vicious tigress who would be happy to beat Bond in just about every way imaginable. The ski stunt preceding the title sequence is well worth the cost of admission (although the effect shots with Moore pasted in are painfully obvious), as are some spectacular locales including the Pyramids of Egypt, a sub pen used to trap helpless submarines for nefarious refitting (no visual effect here: it's really just a amazingly cavernous sound stage) and Stromberg (Curt Jurgens)'s Atlantis: a gleaming, rounded black monstrosity under the sea. Delicious bits include his shark tank behind beautiful facsimiles of art (complete with heart-warming classical music as his victims meet their doom) and, speaking of sharks, a human Jaws -- Richard Kiel -- as a silent, smug metal-toothed monstrosity whose stony thuggishness draws significantly from Goldfinger's Oddjob in sheer inscrutability but whose bite makes him even more lethal. The plot is somewhat derivative; Stromberg wants to rule the world, Jaws is Bond's ultimate adversary (in fact, Stromberg's eventual and expected demise is disappointingly anticlimactic) and of course Bond gets Agent XXX in the, er, end -- so not much need be said about it. Where this movie wins points is style (and a heaping dose of humour: check out the banter between XXX and Bond as Jaws threatens to rip their getaway van to metal shreds) and adherence to a tried and true formula. In that sense, The Spy Who Loved Me belongs in your James Bond collection along with other great entries in the series because of its sheer embodiment of everything Roger Moore brought to the 1970s incarnation of our favourite British super-spy.

Summary: A Dissenting Opinion
Review: I'll agree that this movie is one of Roger Moore's better efforts, and there are many things about The Spy Who Loved Me to recommend it as as good entertainment in the Bond series. However, rating this product as the DVD package--at some considerable expense--is another matter. Each Bond DVD is a slick technical package with lots of extras, but this particular film does not, in fact, have any more extras than any of the others, as one reviewer erroneously said it did. But the MOST unfortunate thing for me about this DVD release is the audio commentary featuring director Lewis Gilbert "and cast and crew." First of all, if you've heard the audio commentaries on the other Bond DVDs, which are well done--especially On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Diamonds Are Forever (which go to the trouble of finding obscure old cast members)--The Spy Who Loved Me's audio commentary DOES NOT feature ANY cast members, and it's all terribly led by Michael G. Wilson--surely one of the least intelligent people to ever have a hand in any Bond flick (and, some would say, single-handedly responsible for the failings in each one). Whereas other Bond DVDs offer downright fascinating audio commentaries, this release is easily the worst of the audio commentaries in the entire series. The three bored men featured (and that's it) talk at the same time, often talk about useless info ("She was beautiful, wasn't she?" "Yes." "Do you remember that night?" "Yeah." "Who did his clothes?" "I don't remember."), and at times don't talk at all. In fact, there is a segment of this movie in which they all stop talking and then "Audio Commentary Will Resume in 6 Minutes" flashes inexplicably on the screen. It's absolutely maddening. If you love this movie, get the video or else see if there's a standard DVD of it. This version is NOT worth the price.

Summary: Another best of Bond vote
Review: This is the the best of the Bond series and here is why. 1.Ski scene with jump off the mountain is best opening stunt. 2.Nobody Does it Better sung by Carly Simon is the best title song. (Props go out to Shirley Bassey for her classic Goldfinger) 3. Best visuals on Cubby Brocolli opening credits with sexy Russian girls doing gymnastics in the nude on a gun barrel. 4. Best villain. Blofeld. Featured in two movies. Dr. Evil was patterned after him. 5. Best evil headquarters: Blofelds Underwater fortress. 6. Best Henchman: Jaws. Only Oddjob comes close. 7. Best gigantic evil military weapon. Submarine swalloing oil tanker. 7. Best car. Amphibious Lotus. 8. Sexiest bond girl. Barbara Bach. Second place Domino.

Summary: Moores BEST............SERIES 3rd Best
Review: This is the third best, right after Thunderball and You Only Live Twice. If you havent seen an old Bond movie before, then i suggest you see this. It has a great way of introducing Bonds style of Humor, Action, the Chase scenes, and the tons of women in each movie. If you liked You Only Live Twice, or Goldeneye, you'll love this. After nuclear submarines disappear, Bond is sent to Egypt, to find out what happened. He meets up with a russian agent, who he teams up with later. Together they must thwart a madman with the missiles, and a scheme to start an underwater city. It has average acting, but great plot and villains. Including, the unforgetable JAWS (the henchman that kills victims with his solid metal teeth), and Stromberg (a webbed hand madman with a passion of the sea). and unforgettable action scenes ( ski chase, fist fight with jaws, lengthy car chase, underwater battle, finale tanker gunfight scene), and the action scenes are top notch. This is a great way to be introduced into the series, and a great way, to continue loving it.

Summary: a James Bond thriller
Review: First of all, this movie goes way beyond the way ThunderBall and You Only Live Twice did. It has henchman Jaws who is capable of Biting through steel with his metal teeth. Then you got an exotic underwater getaway, as well as ski jumping off cliffs. This is one of the first Bond movies i'd actually call an adventure. First of all, a British and Soviet nuclear subs are vanishing from sights in mere minutes. Now before a nuclear war starts, British Agent James Bond, and Soviet Agent Anya Amasova are assigned to find out whats going on. Only to find that a madman decides to reshape the earth and start everything over, underwater. Using nuclear weapons, he would fire on big cities trying to start a war. So James is off to find the villain, who gets entangled in a fued with Jaws, and find him struggling the streets of Sardenia, and Cairo. It has top notch action, with a ski chase, Underwater battle, helicopter/car chase, Fist fight with Jaws, superb machine gun battle on board a super tanker. While the effects and explosions are great. After you watch this you'll be wanting to watch this again and again. This is probably one of the best Bond movies ever.
