You Only Live Twice (Nova Audio Books)

Rating:
Summary: Exotic and original
Review: This film is best appreciated if you put yourself in the seat of a viewer at the time the film was released. At that time, the film (1) featured an original spy plot (confused antagonists threaten each other on basis of acts of interloper -- a space craft-eating space craft,) and (2) introduced the idea that Japan is technologically advanced and has some cultural personality that is distinct from the U.S. I can't remember an earlier mainstream U.S. film that had ninjas or suggested that Japan could potentially launch a space craft. There is plenty of action, including an interesting if somewhat low budget looking helicopter dog fight. Finally, the sound track is excellent. The film was original and entertaining when released. You can't beat that.

Summary: TWICE IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE
Review: Released in 1967, You Only Live Twice marked the fifth appearance of Sean Connery who had announced he was retiring from the role that made him famous in the first place five years earlier ( he would later return in Diamonds are Forever). The plot has Bond going to Japan where he must stop his arch nemisis Ernest Stavro Blofeld from starting another World War between the superpowers. YOLT has the best pre-title sequence where we see our hero faking his own death. YOLT has some breath-taking action scenes such as the little-Nellie chase sequence, the dock fight and the grand finale in Blofeld's secret base in the crater of a volcano. YOLT set the standard for the following Bond sequels in the way it had such elabrarate sets. Also this the first time we see the face of sinister criminal mastermind Blofeld.

Summary: Skip it
Review: This film was disappointing. Definitely you should rent it, but don't buy it unless you have made it your goal to own all the Bonds.

Summary: Awesome
Review: This was Connery's second best movie.Though it is truly great,it can't hold a candle to Thunderball.

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful
Review: This was Connery's third best film.When most people talk about good Connery films,you hear names like Dr.No, Goldfinger, From Russia with Love,and Thunderball.Those are all excellent, but You Only Live Twice beats From Russia with Love and Dr.No.A name you don't hear very often is Diamonds are Forever,and that's a GOOD thing.Buy or rent this,you won't be disappointed.

Summary: I only saw this twice!
Review: Even though I only saw this Bond movie twice,I still think it's one of the best in the series.Also check out From Russia with Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Octopussy, and The Living Daylights, those are good too.But stay away from Diamonds are Forever, License to Kill, The Man with the Golden Gun and Moonraker.
