4.0 out of 5 stars Once Lived, Twice Shy -- Excellent Connery Classic, December 27, 2009

This review is from: You Only Live Twice (DVD)

Sean Connery's You Only Live Twice, the first Ian Fleming adaptation that really used just the title and not much more -- completely different from the novel.

Basically, space capsules from the USA and USSR are being snatched by an evil guy played by Donald Pleasance (see the Austin Powers parody on this guy, Dr. Evil) as he pets his pet Persian and plots the demise of the USA and USSR. His clients want them to destroy each other then pick up the pieces.

But they did not have a plan for Bond. James Bond.

Bond goes through Asian women (which actresses, several look like Caucasian women with eye make-up), baby helicopters, Moneypenny's flirting and even fakes his own death.

Despite the Bond girls, the artful music, and the shooting and chase scenes (with helicopters no less), a bit above average Bond flick, but no means as well made as Dr. No or Goldfinger..

Recommended for a rental.

No doubt about it. This is the quintessiential Bond flick. Why? Because it delivers action packed excitement, torrid romance, a very exotic locale and perhaps the greatest Bond theme song ever. The movie pulls you in and you can't turn it off! For a 1960's film, the effects are really good and the Japanese actors (and actresses!) are believable and sexy. There's plenty of action, what with a great helicopter dogfight, high tech Bond weapons and Ninja warrors. My only criticism is that when the Soviet spacecraft is launched in space (later to be intercepted) they show a United States GEMINI rocket launch instead!!! BLOOOPER!!! But this faux pas not withstanding, it is the only Bond film I recall when James has his cocktail STIRRED NOT SHAKEN! REALLY! This is a blast. Excitement galore. YOU MUST SEE IT!

You only live twice is not one of the best Bonds, but it was a big budget spectacular. There are loads of gadgets, great fights, sexy women, and the orient. James Bond may only live twice, but you can watch him live over and over again with this fun action packed movie.
