Alec B @Alec97 1d If these movies were not going to return to the interesting dynamics of OHMSS (at least not for many years), then fun is the way to go. Teaming Bond up with a spy from the other side is an incredible idea and the Lotus Esprit is my favorite Bond gadget car. See more Yaaron R @KompetenterMedi Feb 3 Underwater spectacle, surface-level nonsense The Spy Who Loved Me has some fun ideas, especially the submarine car and the underwater setting, and the gadget side of Bond finally feels like it is improving. Unfortunately, the film still collapses under shallow writing. The villain is "evil because evil," killing allies just to look ruthless, which makes the whole scheme feel irrational. Bond’s romance scenes are not only dated, they are badly written and take up too much space, and he keeps getting caught, killing any sense of competence. The hand to hand action is faster than earlier entries but still unconvincing, with sped up footage that looks silly. Jaws comes off more cartoonish than threatening. A few cool water-based moments cannot save the rest. See more Alejandro E @Alex970 Jan 30 Of all the times Roger Moore played James Bond, this may well be the best. Why? Because it doesn't borrow from previous instalments or unrelated films. The action scenes are justified enough to enjoy with the essential popcorn. See more gungi @WhatWhere Jan 29 A strong opening to the film. But it gradually loses momentum, jumps too hastily from one place to the next and is overly ambitious. Perhaps the most exciting character is the wordless, Frankenstein-like monster called Jaws, underlining that plot and characters remain rather lacklustre and uninteresting. Barbara Bach's character in particular, who is supposed to be a fairly strong and intelligent figure, remains a wasted opportunity. She is a pushover and another damsel in distress who ends up succumbing to Bond's charms. Regardless of the fact that he is the murderer of her lover, three weeks later she cannot resist the allure and attraction that Bond signifies. In essence, this is the film's strongest message: in the midst of Anglo-Soviet peace efforts, Bond is the figure who seals the "partnership deal" by "'conquering"' the Soviet spy. And as the song fades in and announces the ending , the chorus sings: Nobody does it better. See more Carlos T Jan 26 Ambientado em pleno clima de **Guerra Fria**, *007 Contra o Foguete da Morte* reflete diretamente as tensões geopolíticas do período. Mais uma vez, o mundo está à beira do colapso entre EUA e URSS, manipulados por um vilão que deseja reconstruir a civilização sob suas próprias regras. É um conceito já explorado em filmes anteriores da franquia, e que começa a mostrar sinais de desgaste. Ainda assim, o roteiro encontra fôlego ao ampliar sua escala e ambição, apostando em ideias ousadas e cenários monumentais. Barbara Bach, mesmo não sendo considerada uma das Bond Girls mais belas da franquia, ganha destaque por sua relevância narrativa. A **Agente Triplo X** não é apenas acompanhante, mas uma verdadeira contraparte de Bond. O grande roubo de cena, porém, é **Jaws**, o assassino colossal de dentes de metal. Impiedoso, quase indestrutível, ele se torna um dos vilões mais memoráveis da série — tanto que sobrevive e retorna no filme seguinte, consolidando seu status icônico.
