Amazon.co.uk Review:
The best of the James Bond adventures starring Roger Moore as tuxedoed Agent 007, this globe-trotting thriller introduced the steel-toothed Jaws (played by seven-foot-two-inch-tall actor Richard Kiel) as one of the most memorable and indestructible Bond villains. Jaws is so tenacious, in fact, that Moore looks genuinely frightened, and that adds to the abundant fun. This time Bond teams up with yet another lovely Russian agent (Barbara Bach) to track a pair of nuclear submarines that the nefarious Stromberg (Curt Jürgens) plans to use in his plot to start World War III. Featuring lavish sets designed by the great Ken Adam (Dr. Strangelove), The Spy Who Loved Me is a galaxy away from the suave Sean Connery exploits of the 1960s, but the film works perfectly as grandiose entertainment. From cavernous undersea lairs to the vast horizons of Egypt, this Bond thriller keeps its tongue firmly in cheek with a plot tailor-made for daredevil escapism. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.co.uk Review:
On the DVD: The main extra feature here is another in the excellent series of new "making of" documentaries that adorn these Bond DVDs. Here, everything from the painful and protracted gestation of the movie to the building of the massive 007 Stage at Pinewood is chronicled. Also included is an appreciation of and interview with gifted production designer Ken Adam, the man responsible for the extravagantly grand look of all the Bond movies. The commentary track features Adam alongside director Lewis Gilbert and co-producer Michael Wilson, who is instrumental in encouraging Gilbert and Adam to explain and reminisce as the movie unfolds. Trailers and stills and a glossy booklet complete an attractive DVD presentation. --Mark Walker

- Great partnership in typically good Bond film
The most sophisticated spy in cinema returns for one of the best Bonds of the 70s as Roger Moore reprises the role as the British agent in Lewis Gilbert's action adventure.

007 travels to Egypt to find out who is behind the mysterious disappearing of submarines and he is helped by Russian agent Major Anya Amasova (Bach)

This is probably one of Moore's best performances as the secret agent as he delivers a lot of sophisticated lines and jokes into the role. His attitude towards the mission and the situations which arise are brilliant and his partnership alongside Bach is one of the best Bond partnerships ever made.

The plot is consistent and very interesting to see the relationship between the two agents ... Read More:

- One of the best Bond movies
"The Spy Who Loved Me" was Moore's third James Bond movie. This time, Bond is up against megalomaniac Karl Stromberg (Curd Jürgens), who's stolen nuclear submarines and plans on starting a nuclear war in order to establish a new, underwater civilisation. The plot sounds similar to some of the earlier Bond movies, but remember, Blofeld's (and most other Bond villians) motivation was money; Stromberg's goal is the destruction of civilisation as we know it.

To stop Stromberg, the British Intelligence enlist the help of the Russians. Bond has to work together with the beautiful Agent Triple-X of the KGB (Barbara Bach), whose lover Bond killed in Austria. Their mission takes them to exotic locations such as Egypt, where they meet Stromberg's ... Read More:

- BOND EXPLODES BACK INTO ACTION
Here is Roger Moore's finest film during his 12th year as James Bond 007, its easily the best best Bond film of the 1970s and also stands tall as one of the biggest and most consistently entertaining of the entire Bond franchise. However, most 007 purists also believe this one is the best and that it has everything... plenty of beautiful women, exotic locations, extravagant studio sets, colourful villains and a generous helping of gadgets and gizmos (including a car that turns into a submarine when underwater).

Beginning with Roger Moore, he is quite comfortably settled into the part of Bond and now he has made it his own. In a reworked plot that is similar but greatly improved over the YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, Bond must investigate what has ... Read More:

- Just keeping the British end up...
With the spy who loved me you are in for a typical James Bond treat - plenty of action, plenty of one-liners and plenty of girls.

The film does very well to keep itself feeling fresh, and interesting, because a lot of its plot points and even its action set pieces are all something we've already seen in the previous Bond films. Even so, the spy who loved me is so fast paced, and filled with so much charm, energy and fun, you don't really mind it being a rehash.

The plot is pointless, about some baddies wanting to capture nuclear missles by stealing submarines, but who watches Bond for the plot? The action scenes are breath-taking, especially a skiing pre-credits sequence, with some stunning stunts.

Roger Moore is on fine ... Read More:

- SIR ROGER MOORE IN INDIA
It was a delight to watch Sir Roger Moore on TV during his visit to India. I was quite intrigued by his 'Salt' humor as the last word when he was being positioned as the 007 who introduced humor in the Bond Character by Vir Sangvi.

I would also like to wish him a belated Happy 78th Birthday for the 14th November'05.

I hope that Sir Roger Moore continues with his endeavors on for and on behalf of the UNISEF to ensure that the world becomes a healthier place to live in for one and all!

Mahatma Gandhi may not have appreciated your wit about 'Salt' too much. He was also conserned for 'Salt' for which he did the famous 'Dandi March' in wholesale for India, as much as you are for people across the world in your noble cause. ... Read More:
