Critics Consensus

Diamonds are Forever is a largely derivative affair, but it's still pretty entertaining nonetheless, thanks to great stunts, witty dialogue, and the presence of Sean Connery.

Bond looks better than ever, partly because Sean Connery has returned to play him.

3/5

Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties.

Only the British apparently (judging by dozens of unfortunate imitations) can make a crude sex-and-violence formula yield such refined, exhilarating entertainment as this.

With a sense of lifelessness, Diamonds Are Forever easily is the most boring Bond film.

3/4

It would be Connery's final appearance in the official series, and he goes out in style.

Not as good as You Only Live Twice, but it’s just as witty and action packed.

Este filme tem tudo de pior que Bond pode oferecer: piadas fracas e uma atuação fraca. Além de tudo o filme é chato e bem cansativo de se assistir, 2 Horas perdidas.

One of the worst films of the series. There are more bad films, but this is one of them. Sean Connery returns as James Bond, but the story could have been better with George Lazenby, if they used the revenge plot. This movie forgets entirely about the death of Tracy in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It's like the movie was a non-canon movie.

So much fun. A solid classic Bond. If only we could go back to these.

Il clamoroso ritorno di Sean Connery è probabilmente l'unico motivo per cui questo capitolo della saga raggiunge la sufficienza. Sicuramente il fascino ed il carisma dell'attore riescono a mantenere gradevole anche un film con una trama molto più confusa del solito e anche meno spettacolare per certi versi; sicuramente per le location. Alcuni colpi di scena sono ben riusciti, come la sfida con i cloni; ma troppo spesso si perde il filo del discorso. Anche le sequenze di azione non sono alla solita altezza.
