Reviewer notes
RecommendedI 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.
RecommendedWe 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.…
Recommended**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.…
RecommendedNow, 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.…
RecommendedNot 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.…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersCommander James Bond, recruited to the British Secret Service from the Royal Navy. License to kill and has done so on numerous occasions. The Spy Who Loved Me is directed by Lewis Gilbert and adapted to screenplay by Christopher Wood and Richard Maibaum from the novel written by Ian Fleming. It stars Roger Moore, Barbara Bach, Curt Jurgens, Richard Kiel and Walter Gotell.…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersGreat 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.…
