On Her Majesty's Secret Service Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
dennisco-76051 This movie is a little incoherent and odd in the beginning, but kind of comes together about halfway through and becomes a decent Bond movie. Decent but not great. George Lazerby is good enough as Bond, so I don't blame him, it just has some flaws in the writing, I think. For those keeping track, 007 has sex with 3 different women in this movie, bringing his total for the first 6 James Bond movies to 21 different women. Does it count towards his total if a different guy is playing Bond? I think so. 21 it is.
gbose-588-283139 Watch the 2016 Documentary - Becoming Bond. Just one example of how bond like Lazenbt was in real life - he turned down £1 million to sign a contract for 6 more bond films. There is a scene on OHMSS where he does the same - turn down £1m to marry Draco's daughter... think about it, who else would do that in real life. Lazenby epitomized was Bond was really about - he didn't just act it.
LeonLouisRicci Contains more Controversy and Division among James Bond Fans than any other in the Series.To fill Sean Connery's Role, the Producers chose an Australian with No Acting Experience. A Part-Time Model named George Lazenby. He was given the Thankless Task of making the Transition Seamless in a Movie Franchise Second to None.Up to this point, Connery did Five Films, all being Well Received, except one, actually He did Return for one more (about as disappointing as this one), "You Only Live Twice" (1967) which was Below Average, a Disappointment, with Silly Stuff Galore.Lazenby does a Good Job, considering and was asked to Return after this, but Refused the Long Term Contract offered. The Movie, believe it or not, has some Die Hard James Bond Fans saying it's the Best Ever. It was, without doubt, the closest Rendition on Film of the Ian Fleming Novels.On its Own, the Film has more "Heart" than the Previous Pictures, with Bond Falling in Love, and almost No Gadgets. The Action Sequences are Top-Notch and Edge of Your Seat, and there are Plenty to Please Fans.Telly Savalas as Blofeld and Diana Rigg as the most Personally Resonant Bond Girl to Date and Fights along side the Secret Agent with Grace and Aptitude. Rigg adds a Great Deal to the Films Appeal among Bond Fans that consider this a Winner. Now a Cult Film, because it is Divisive and Different.A Fine Film outside the Controversies, and is Entertaining, Exciting, and Emotional.Underrated.
Dan OHMSS is a solid entry in the James Bond series, but I had a number of issues with the film that I found distracting. Such as the roughness of the editing (especially during fight scenes - too many cuts and tight camera shots to try and make the action more exciting), the repetitiveness and overuse / misuse of the leitmotifs (for example the simple musical phrase that plays for over 5 minutes during the safe-breaking operation), and some problems with the fit of Lazenby as 007 (particularly the voice overs - they should have modified the script to have better suited the actor they committed to).The settings were fantastic and the story solid, but there were just a number of rough edges that kept grabbing my attention. Perhaps if 15- 20 minutes more ended up on the cutting room floor then this would rank as one of the best James Bond installments in my mind.
