Roger Moore has come out of the trenches and become the next "James Bond!" The previous two entires into the Bond franchise were very fun films, but the jokes and cheesiness was a bit too much for the character, leaving his films in the dust, behind the great Connery. I must say, this is one of the best Bond films in the franchise yet. The story is well played out and the villains are very fun to watch, especially the villain whom I like to call the Indestructible Man. The action scenes are terrific, well paced, and smart. The dialogue is actually a step above the rest, and the editing, which was done by the worst editor of the series, has defintiely redeemed his title here. I had an absolute blast watching "The Spy Who Loved Me!"

Roger Moore's third outing is not only one his best, nut one of the best in the entire series. The plot is the typical Cold War global domination scheme wherein we get megalomaniac anarchist Stromberg threatening New York and Moscow with nukes. The broad plot isn't what's great though, rather the way steps leading up to it, featuring lots of globetrotting, and Bond teaming up with a sexy Russian agent who holds her own against him. Plus, we get a cool car/submarine, and the first of two appearances by Jaws, a behemoth of a henchman with a set of metal teeth. He's awesome. There's several good action scenes, and a little, but surprisingly not much goofiness. Well, there is the "Lawrence of Arabia moment" which is odd, hilarious, and totally awesome. Marvin Hamlisch provides a great score, Carly Simon's theme is decent, and the film has the typical grandeur we've come to expect from the series. Yeah, the plot could be a little more original, and the pacing could be tightened here and there, but Moore holds it all together, and he gets tremendous support from Barbara Bach as his female counterpart, Richard Kiel as Jaws, and Curt Jurgens as Stromberg. All in all, this is a terrific film that you really shouldn't miss.
