Sure it isn't as serious as some of the other Bond films, but I found it very enjoyable. If you take Bond films so seriously that you can't enjoy Diamonds Are Forever, then maybe you should stop watching the Bond films and find a realistic espionage drama.
DAF features some of the best one liners in the series and it has some of the strangest characters. However, I think one of the main problems with DAF is the over-use of Blofeld in the Bond films. After three films in a row with him as the main villan, he was getting way beyond his use by date and the character was just becoming stale. I also think the special effects were very ordinary and easily the worst in any Bond film.
Anyway, I would rate it at 8/10. Highly enjoyable, but not the best Bond.
