You Only Live Twice, a review by Rich

You Only Live Twice



A disaster in space pushes humankind towards World War III, and only James Bond can prevent it in this magnificent, pull-out-all-the-stops movie spectacular. Sean Connery returns as Agent 007, who travels to Japan to stop the evil SPECTRE organization and its diabolical leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Donald Pleasance), from instigating global warfare from his massive headquarters in an inactive volcano.

By far the worst of the Bond films so far, and unlikely to be worsened.
The acting is sub-standard, effects in general were poor (despite huge budget), some action scenes were laughably put together, and the whole feel is of a movie squeezed out for commercial reasons only. No wonder Connery walked away at this point, possibly knowing how silly this film was, or perhaps the ridiculous ninjas, or even the straying away from Flemings books into a more scifi focus?
Disappointing Mr Bond

This episode is one of my least favorite of the first season. I found it a little strange that Mercedes didn't catch on at all that Kurt is gay.

Notable music: None.
Theme in this episode is hip hop. Not one of the songs in this episode managed to get on my playlist. Mr. Shuster is neglecting his students to be in a boy band called Acafellas with some fellow teachers.
