The Spy Who Loved Me

a review by GenerationofSwine

Now, I am 100% in the "Sean Connery was the greatest Bond and had the greatest 007 movies ever made" camp...

... so take it to heart when I say that this is Roger Moore's greatest outing as 007 and one of the best 007 movies (with one of the best 007 introductory songs) ever made.

This is Roger Moore at his absolute finest in a games bond movie with Barbra Bach being a great female spy with one of the best, most suggestive, Bond Girl names since Honor Blackman's (this review probably won't make it past the censors if I wrote her character's name)... and that, of course, would be Agent Triple X... AKA Anya Amasova.

Anya Amasova.... yeah, we all like calling her Agent Triple X so much more don't we? Honey Ryder is still the quintessential Bond Girl, Honor Blackman still plays the Bond Girl with the best name, but Bach comes in third and we can actually write her joke name.

Anyway, the locations are amazing, and Moore has moments in this where we see the Connery Era cold blooded assassin come out of him, meanwhile the plot is still amazing and over-the-top, we have Jaws, and one of my all time favorite 007 cars ever featured.

The Spy Who Loved Me is one of the epic Bond movies, it is the Best Roger Moore Era 007, and one of the films that should be on everyone's Top 10 007 film lists.
