The best and worst Bond diamonds

After watching the whole film, my personal feelings about the film are as follows:

1. After the disastrous performance of George Lazenbe, the film crew had to find Sean Connery again to save the scene and paid a astronomical salary of 1.5 million US dollars (more than the total amount of the first "Dr. No" The budget is 50% more), and Sean Connery donated all of it.

2. Although there is Sean Connery's return, it can be seen that Connery does not have much interest in the role of Bond. Compared with "Dr. No" to "Thunder Valley", I can see it in the performance Obvious decline in standards. In addition, white suits are often worn in the film. After getting used to black suits, I only feel that it looks very uncoordinated.

3. The villain Ghost Party No. 1 Bellofor played again, but it was still not good enough and still could not hold up the title of "Bond's Forever Enemy". What's interesting is that his two gay killers are a bit interesting, far more interesting than this ultimate villain.

4. This time, the Bond girl was more cunning in the early stage, and there were even surprises such as using scenes to get rid of the stalker in the circus, which made people exclaim that there was finally a decent Bond girl. But in the later stage, I don't know if it was a script problem or some other reason. Later, I became a utterly stupid woman. Even the villain had to say "This woman is so stupid." The character image has changed a lot, but no reasonable explanation is given in the plot. At that time, female actors really didn't have the right to speak and perform. . . . . .

5. The soundtrack of the whole film is also very weird. The overall plot does not match the soundtrack, and it does not create the tension in the first few parts.

6. This film is extremely casual in the plot. It can be said that where to shoot where you think about it, in order to create a humorous atmosphere, many reasonable twists in the plot are sacrificed. Bond was arrested three times before and after it should have been destroyed by the enemy, but he escaped inexplicably. The most incredible part of the plot is the one that was buried. The two killers didn’t directly bury Bond in the soil but put them in a tube, and finally let Bond escape easily. This plot is neither thrilling nor reasonable. The design is unique. The purpose of the feeling is just to make Bond say the funny line "I accidentally lost my way while walking the mouse". There are many similar problems in other parts of the film. The impression of this movie is that Bond sings and sings with his sisters, and the villain is wiped out in a confused manner. . . . .

7. In my mind, this film has various defects in the plot, character image, and performance, so it cannot exceed the plot, which is not exciting but relatively complete, and the performance is more detailed "The Sky Is Falling", and the action scenes of the two films The standard is not good. But compared to "Death Another Day", the old stalker who actually played the BOSS conspiracy in "Diamond" is still slightly better. In addition, the defects of "Death Another Day" are basically the same as the film, so it ranks in "Another Day" Before "Death", he was ranked 16th in the entire series of 24 titles.
