Diamonds Are Forever Reviews

From all the James Bond movies starring Sean Connery, this was probably the weakest one. Basically, even though ‘On Her Majesty's Secret Service’ was a decent installment, George Lazenby declined to return to play this iconic part and, even though they considered some other actors, they went back to Sean Connery and I think that it was a mistake. Indeed, even though Connery was and will always be the best James Bond ever, at that point, the guy was already done with this character and the only reason he came back is that they offered a huge amount of money. In fact, it is pretty much what they are trying to do today with Daniel Craig. Indeed, though Craig made pretty clear that he was done with this franchise, you keep hearing rumors that they offered him a record-breaking salary to come back one more time but you might wonder if they will deliver something any good under such circumstances. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, the whole thing was not actually so bad, Connery was always quite charismatic, but it was just seriously quite forgettable. Furthermore, the camp tone chosen was rather lame and it would become unfortunately a trademark in all the following installments involving Roger Moore. To conclude, even if it was a rather weak Bond feature, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
