Critics Consensus: Though it hints at the absurdity to come in later installments, The Spy Who Loved Me's sleek style, menacing villains, and sly wit make it the best of the Roger Moore era.

[The Spy Who Loved Me] gets off to a promising start but proves seriously deficient in staying power.
Never did top that first stunt.
The ostensible hero is just a fleshy blur.
As always, story and plastic character are in the service of comic strip parody.
The film has its moments -- Kiel's indestructible heavy racks up a good score -- but the rest is desperately weak.
The film moves along at a serviceable clip, but it seems half an hour too long.
By no means a perfect film, but it was a very fun two hours, even if some of the fun was "fun because it was so bad" fun...
The Spy Who Loved Me had me at hello with the famous pre-title sequence culminating in the ski jump off the mountain.
With a great villain, the series' definitive henchman, stunning Bond Babes, grand action and an all-time classic theme, this is a Bond film fully worthy of adoration.
This exceptional spy escapade is far-fetched mayhem of the highest order, with a welcome accent on character realism rather than just spectacular sets.
It's good clean British fun.
THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is not as good as I remembered it. All of its chases and action were much better in my memories. In reality, they're a bit lackluster.
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!"

definitely one of the better roger moore entries. bach was great, and jaws is one of my favorite bond villains. the story had its moments where it just got silly, but the plot was entertaining and the locations were great. the film has some classic bond moments.
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.
A dynamic and sensational action-thriller. A bold, fun and compelling Bond film that has two main leads instead of one. Roger Moore and the breathtaking Barbra Bach are irresistible together, they have great chemistry together, they combine the action and romance perfectly. Richard Kiel is a force of nature, making the action sequences involving him and Moore just more exciting and awesome to watch. A dazzling adventure that shows no one really does it better than Bond. Bravo stuff Sir. Roger Moore.
