The Spy Who Loved Me

 Starring: Roger Moore

 Directed by: Lewis Gilbert

 Rated PG

 Genre: Action

 Original Release Year: 1977

 Synopsis: Submarines with the capability to launch nuclear weapons from the Royal Navy and the Soviet Fleet are stolen by a madman and it is up to James Bond with the help of a Soviet agent to solve this crisis and avoid World War 3.

 My Thoughts: This movie was a very typical James Bond movie, full of fun action, cool gadgets and hot women, what more could you want from a Bond movie?

   Scorecard

     Acting- Roger Moore is back as James Bond, and you can really tell that he is very comfortable in his role. We also get Richard Kiel in his infamous role Jaws, of course Jaws does not require great acting, but it is a cool character. I think that all the acting combined was very well done, especially by Moore who has finally come into his own as Bond. (1)

     Direction- Lewis Gilbert returns after a few movie hiatus, and does a pretty good job. The flow was a little bumpy and there were some continuity problems that hurt the overall quality of the film, but it was still good enough to get the job done. (1/2)

     Story- This is a typical James Bond story where he needs to stop a madman from completely destroying the world. This time he is teamed up with a Soviet agent (triple x). While there was nothing incredibly groundbreaking, the story was good enough to keep people entertained and keep you watching. (1/2)

     Expectations- I was expecting this movie to be a stereotypical James Bond movie with a lot of action and a decent story, it was. (1/2)

     Boring?- There were a few crucial spots in this film where it really dragged, but the movie as a whole was not at all boring, but the slow spots hurt the flow of the movie, it the slow spots were at the beginning or near the end, it would have been better, but they all were slap dead in the middle of the film. (1/2)

  Final Score: 3 out of 5

 Final Thoughts: James Bond in another very watchable film, with nothing incredibly exciting or great, but was still fun. Roger Moore is trying his hardest to become the best Bond, and in my eyes, he is doing an excellent job.
