Diamonds are Forever is pretty much the biggest misfire of the entire Bond franchise, after the emotional ending of On her Majesty's Secret Service the stage was set for a great sequel that would've given that ending the rightful closure it deserved but sadly that never happened and instead we get a VERY average diamond thief plot with Connery simply going through the motions one more time before being able to move on to greener pastures though given what happened on the last film I can't blame United Artists for wanting him back as much as they did.
But apart from that, the film is also really dull in its direction and a near complete bore to watch as the storyline regarding the diamonds isn't very interesting and the film overall just makes you bored while watching it from the tiredness displayed on screen, what a shame that Connery's tenure as 007 ended so flatly.
As I said this is probably the series' greatest misfire outside of another film in the series and this was not the exit Connery deserved as 007, 1 out of 5.
