You Only Live Twice - a rather dull film


Verily I say unto thee...one cannot summon up the required amount of dedication to get through it in one sitting.

Verily I say unto thee...only someone who has been dead for twenty two years could think that way as you have proved. Stick to your tap dancing and try not to fall into the bath.

Connery, Moore, and Brosnan! Accept NO substitutes!

Didn't we just have this thread?

Probably the most actionpacked and rewatchable (watch-often pace!) of all Connery Bonds! Its really a notch up from Thunderballs beautiful but dragging pace and uneven storytelling. YOLT is a piece of high art visuals/soundtrack/performance/imagination and I can only believe that the OP dont like nor watch older films.

Dear god. I have noticed quite a few anti YOLT sentiments on here recently.

It is quite simply, a great film. Stunning locations, stunning soundtrack, stunning sets. A couple of beautifully done action scenes, the first appearance of Blofeld, not to mention the best Bond of them all doing his stuff.

And before anyone whines about Bond being 'Japanesed' up, remember that was an integral part of the Fleming novel.
