Year:1971
Country of origin:UK
Director:Guy Hamilton
Genre:Bond
Starring:Sean Connery, Jill St. John, Charles Gray
Rating:2/5
IMDB link:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066995/
Tagline:"Diamonds Are Forever"...forever...forever...forever...
Favourite line:"Well, they're both aboard, and I must say Miss Case seems quite attractive…..for a lady."

Very poor Bond movie.
Connery sleepwalks throughout, Blofeld is weak, and the plot is virtually non existent. Some good dialogue, particularly between the gay gangsters, but otherwise a pretty bad addition to the franchise.
The stunts are poor as well, mainly due to the fact that the stunt budget was slashed because of Connery's wage demands.
A disappointing end to Connery's reign.
