Sean Connery retired from the 007 franchise after You Only Live Twice (replaced by George Lazenby in the underrated and underperforming On Her Majesty's Secret Service) but was lured back for one last official appearance as James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. He's in fine form--cool but ruthless--in a sharp precredits sequence hunting the unkillable Blofeld (a suavely menacing Charles Gray in this incarnation), but the MacGuffin of a story (involving diamond smuggling, a superlaser on a satellite, and Blofeld's latest plot to rule the world ) is full of the groaning tongue-in-cheek gags that Roger Moore would make his signature. Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton keeps the film zipping along gamely from one entertaining set piece to another, including a terrific car chase in a parking lot, a battle with a pair of bikini-clad killer gymnasts named Bambi and Thumper, and a deadly game with a bizarre pair of fey, sardonic killers who dispatch their victims with elaborate invention. Jill St. John is the brassy but not too bright American smuggler Tiffany Case, and country singer and pork sausage king Jimmy Dean costars as a reclusive billionaire with not-so-subtle parallels to Howard Hughes. Shirley Bassey belts out the memorable theme song, one of the series' best. Connery retired again after this one but he returned once more, for Never Say Never Again 15 years later for a rival production company. --Sean Axmaker

I am sort of new in the classic 007 films. I have watched most of the new ones, but never gave the old ones a chance. Well after watching Diamonds are Forever I will be watching all the classics now.
In this movie, James Bond is handed a case where diamonds are being smuggled and stolen out of South Africa. He is supposed to solve the smuggling riddle, however at the end he discovers that the diamonds are being stolen in order to be used in a series of deadly nuclear attacks.
Now its absolutely important to not watch this movie with the eyes of someone living in the 21st century. Try to appreciate all the efforts put in this movie and how much the director tried to make it look realistic. I mean keep in mind the technology available at that time. Don't compare it to a new 007 movie because it will just be unfair having in mind the 30-40 years difference in technology. If you think this way you will enjoy watching the movie.
The dialogue was quite great. Sean Connery does a great James Bond where he masters the given dialogue with loads of flirting and sarcasm.

Sean Connery returns as the inimitable James Bond, Agent 007; he teams up with the beutiful Tiffany Case(Jill St. John) to stop his adversary Blofeld(Charles Gray)from using the fortune in stolen diamonds to finance a deadly laser satellite. Exciting, entertaining, a typical James Bond film that only Sean Connery can bring off successfully. Don't be fooled by the twists and turns as the story unfolds; you know that James Bond always wins no matter how dark any chance of success may appear at times.

Of the six original 007 movies that Sean Connery did, I rate this one as his best. Jill St. John is a magnicifent Bond Girl, Shirley Bassey is her usual brilliant self in the theme song, Blofeld is as sinister as any villan Bond has faced and Jimmy Dean is as eccentric as Howard Hughes. On top of that we get the deadly team of Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint truly having a gay time of it. And Q loves those Vegas slot machines!
As a personal note, it was a relief when Connery came back to rescue the series in "Diamonds" after the disappointing Geroge Lazenby experiment. I've probably watched this movie 50 times since and still haven't tired of it!
