Stars ìììì
Diamonds Are Forever, while not on par with Goldfinger, still
shows well as it follows the usual James Bond (Sean Connery) plotline—action,
violence, and sex. Comedy relief comes in the form of matter-of-fact henchmen,
Mr. Wint (Bruce Glover) and Mr. Kidd (Putter Smith), who deliver trite lines
such as, “If God wanted man to fly, he would had given them wings,” with
laughable, poker-faced sobriety.

Storyline
Arch villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Charles Grey) decides a satellite can be used to blow up military bases. James Bond’s protocol becomes: take out Blofeld, save the world, restore peace.
