This movie has all of the worst Bond has to offer; bad jokes, dumb women, and a lame performance. Sean Connery was paid a then record $1.25 million dollars to return as Bond one last time, and this movie is tired in every sense. Connery, who seemed to be only in it for…
Ethan ColburnMar 21, 2015"My God! You just killed James Bond!" It's a miracle Diamonds are Forever didn't kill James Bond. It might not be as potentially offensive as some of the more racist Bonds, but it's almost offensive how poorly plotted, poorly characterized, and ultimately boring and…
ScreeningNotesDec 26, 2020Everyone notes that Connery only did this one for the huge paycheck and you can see it in his performance. Actually, a sour, disillusioned Bond is a totally valid choice for the character. The bigger issue is the plot is way more nonsensical than the other Connery films,…

This entry is stupid from top to bottom. It’s positively ridiculous but there is still quite a bit of fun to be had. I had to deduct points for how terribly this film has aged. I mean you literally see a Vegas illusionist TRANSFORM A BLACK WOMAN INTO A…
Sam ThompsonOct 19, 2022Fails miserably as an exciting spy thriller but as a breezy, sleazy, camp comedy it excels for me with some of the wittiest dialogue in the series and great performances from Connery, Gray and St John. This might well be one of my most favourite Barry soundtracks too. It…
Calvin DysonDec 5, 2019I love that Willard Whyte has an Epcot dome in the Nevada desert where he tests out moon rovers on the set of Kubrick’s moon landing lmao. Was never a favorite of mine but I’ve come around on Diamonds are Forever in recent years, definitely a perfected formula at this point…

Mr. DuLacOct 26, 2020Am I the only one who finds the James Bond films starting to blend together? I need to give them Friends style titles to tell them apart: Dr No: The One on the Beach From Russia with Love: The One on the Train Goldfinger: The One with the Golfing Thunderball: The One…
QuintinAug 19, 2025James Bond: I've always fancied a trip to South Africa M: You're going to Holland What do you mean he's going to Holland? 😭 They robbed me from a James Bond film set in South Africa man. We can't have anything nice. James Bond Films Ranked

- Da channel Fire is "meh" onDiamonds Are Forever
I've just seen most of these movies and they feel a bit repetitive after awhile. i think these might have the cutest girls if you care.
Henry likedDiamonds Are ForeverHumorous and intriguing. Brilliant action, a brilliant car chase and a plot that is slightly more interesting than the typical Bond film, detective Bond! The oil rig ending is a little lacklustre but overall a fun watch. Rating H- 8/10 L- 7/10
Mtrees likedDiamonds Are ForeverI’ll lump all the James Bond films up to Casino Royale into one review. I love them all and there’s very few instalments that I don’t enjoy. I hope they keep making them till the day I die, fantastic films! 13/07/2023 (Historical Review)
- Edward Kronkvist is "meh" onDiamonds Are Forever
It was nice to see Sean Connery back in the role of James Bond. But I thought this film in the series was a bit silly at times and way over the top. I still had a lot of fun with it but it isn’t the best Bond film, overall 4/10.
Landyn Ludolph likedDiamonds Are Forever8.1/10 the two boys in the movie were great. Loved how they worked together. The girl was not that good in this movie and she didn’t really do much. And the fight scenes were okay. But a pretty decent movie
Paul Balson likedDiamonds Are ForeverDelightfully bonkers. Connery looking like he’s having tons of fun! Enjoyable if you try and avoid any comparison with the first 4 films, and enjoy the (Moon Buggy?) ride
- Jared S is "meh" onDiamonds Are Forever
Dragged on, really getting into “campy” bond, era but still had Sean Connery, which I don’t like. Lots of weird jokes. The gorilla-woman scene seemed vaguely racist.
Mickerdoo likedDiamonds Are ForeverRidiculousness as only Bond can deliver. Kidd and Wint are dorks. PG rating with a nipple era. Connery is charming as usual.
Dreykarr lovedDiamonds Are ForeverAwesome and classic, the relationship between bond and blofeld, the over the top high stakes and the action is perfect

Metacritic
We see different movies for different reasons, and Diamonds Are Forever is great at doing the things we see a James Bond movie for.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties.

Diamonds Are Forever is great, absurd fun, not only because it recalls the moods and manners of the sixties (which, being over, now seem safely comprehensible), but also because all of the people connected with the movie obviously know what they are up to.
