You Only Live Twice, a review by Dragonfire

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.

My Thoughts

I still enjoyed this movie, though there were some slow parts that didn't work as well for me.  I also thought it seemed obvious that Connery was tired of playing Bond since he didn't seem to ..connect with the part as well as he has before.  This was to be Connery's last movie as Bond and the movie was based on the last Bond book written by Ian Flemming before his death.  I enjoyed the parts dealing with SPECTRE and Blofeld.  Some other things, like how Bond was supposed to be disguised as a Japanese man, just didn't work.  He didn't even remotely look like a Japanese man.  I also didn't care for the women in this movie that much.  There just wasn't anything special about them.

Overall it was still an entertaining Bond movie, but not one of my favorites.   

I did post a review on Epinions if anyone is interested.

What do I say about this one? Mostly unfunny comedy... though there is a few good jokes here and there. Some of it works some of it doesn't. The same goes for the zombie effects and action. It is one that kept my attention enough to get through it. But is no more then an average horror comedy.
