May we be spared any additional 007 fantasies, please, unless someone lures Sean Connery back.

The Spy Who Loved Me, the latest in the series, gets as silly as some of its inferior predecessors. Yet it features an adversary as memorable as any since Goldfinger and Dr. No -- a magnate named Stromberg.

If Roger Moore wasn't the best James Bond, he was at least the most honest.

The Spy Who Loved Me re-establishes the greatness of the Bond franchise. It's the biggest and most boldly produced feature as of yet, offering bountiful thrills and fun in equal measure.

The Spy Who Loved Me represents a new found energy for the franchise that was struggling for definition in the new decade. With amazing stunts and iconic moments, it's hard not to love this film.

It really has hideously dated, from the gaudy fashion and special effects, to the smutty, sexist, 'Carry On'-style humour.

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.

[The Spy Who Loved Me] gets off to a promising start but proves seriously deficient in staying power.

This exceptional spy escapade is far-fetched mayhem of the highest order, with a welcome accent on character realism rather than just spectacular sets.

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.

In a tremendous film that shows Moore's Bond still has the old razzle-dazzle, "Nobody Does It Better" isn't just a theme song. It's a forceful and fun statement of purpose, and "Spy" offers the franchise the definitive jolt it so sorely needed.

The best combination of japery and seriousness, without descending into the clowning that would be a part of all but one of Moore's subsequent adventures [as Bond].
