"We see different movies for different reasons, and Diamonds Are Forever is great at doing the things we see a James Bond movie for."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A wry and exhilarating bit of entertainment."
- Time Out
"After a one-picture hiatus, Connery returned as James Bond in this colorful comic-book adventure set in Las Vegas; closer in spirit to Republic serials than Ian Fleming, but great fun."

"In Never Say Never Again, the formula is broadened to accommodate an older, seasoned man of much greater stature, and Mr. Connery expertly fills the bill."
- Janet Maslin, New York Times
"The action's good, the photography excellent, the sets decent; but the real clincher is the fact that Bond is once more played by a man with the right stuff."
- Time Out

- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
