Diamonds Are Forever

James Bond rips a woman’s bikini top off and strangles her with it in a very tasteful PG way. It’s fun to see 70s Vegas, it’s just too bad what transpires there is pretty boring for the most part.

The weakest and goofiest Connery Bond, but if you can get into its campy tone, it's a decent guilty pleasure.

The first 2/3rds is mostly derivative & confusing w/ a romantic interest who displays little genuine interest in Bond & vice versa. Then there's a great twist that never goes anywhere interesting, which describes the last third: there are 2 memorably odd & gay assassins meant as comic relief but are likely to offend now & 2 initially exciting female asskickers who go out as LAMELY as possible. The evil "mastermind" is as stupid as Dr. Evil which is watchable in a so-bad-it's-good way

James Bond Project 2017: Although I referred to the early feelings of sequelitis in "Thunderball"(1965), I may have been too harsh there. At least "Thunderball" felt like it was trying to top the other movies with something cool and different in the underwater stuff, even if it was boring, here the last of the Connery films feels like a sequel coasting by with some half-baked camp. Despite being a fan of the cartoon duo of Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, Vegas and the oil platform, were a disappointment.

I won't say Connery goes out of the James Bond series with a bang but he does go out with a pretty good bond film. It's not Goldfinger but it's certainly better than a lot of the other James Bond films out there. It's got his trademark quips, great action, decent villains, some (ok a few) cliche characters and a generally good story. If you like James Bond, and Sean Connery as James Bond, it's really worth seeing for one last Connery Bond ride.
