Summary: Connery's worst, which isn't that bad!
Review: Japan is a great setting, but it's never used to it's fullest (but you cna't expect a Kurosawa movie, which actually would have been interesting to see). While Pleasance is my favourite Blofeld (and Mike Myers based his Dr. Evil a lot on him) his character has a very inane plot which borders on really campy.

Summary: I Only Barfed Twice
Review: This is by far the most disappointing thing Connery has done in the Bond series. The movie is a mindless romp from one fistfight and shootout to the next. I was nearly bored out of my mind. The movie also has the worst Bond villain. I mean sure, Blofeld is a good villain, but how can we hate a guy we meet fifteen minutes before the movie ends? The Bond girls are another proplem. One saves Bond's live and proves to be the predecssor to girls Anya Amasova and Wai Lin. I love her, but then . . . I can't spoil anything for you, so you'll (sadly) have to see the movie. The other girl is Kissy who is never mentioned by name and has as much screen time as Blofeld. The only reason I can think of to this is to be able to truthfully say (like I can) "I've seen all the Bond films."

Summary: AERIAL SCENES OF JAPAN, HELICOPTER STUNTS, A-1MUSIC
Review: I FEEL THIS IS THE BEST BOND MOVIE SINCE THE AERIAL SCENERY OF JAPAN AND THE MUSIC COMBINE TO REPRESENT BOND. THE SCENE OF BOND BEING OUTNUMBERED ON THE ROOFTOP BY NUMEROUS THUGS WITH THE AERIAL CAMERA SHOTS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENES.I BOUGHT THIS MOVIE HOWEVER DUE TO A DIVORCE, I NO LONGER HAVE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THIS ONE AGAIN!

Summary: Thank God Fleming Wrote The Man With the Golden Gun
Review: The end was such a letdown. Yet after reading this book twice, I knew Fleming was going to write Bond out of his helpless state. The part about killing Blofled was superb, yet Kissy keeping him on Kuro was such a bad writing move.

Summary: Bond and Tiger vs. The Garden of Evil
Review: A sequel to On Her Majesty's Sercet Service. Bond must go to Japan to acquire a new ciphering methond from "Tiger" Tanaka, head of the Japanese Sercet Service. Tanaka finally agrees, but asks in return that Bond assassinate an infamous recluse who owns a garden filled with deadly animals and poisonous plants, where people have been going to commit suicide- The Garden of Evil. The last novel Fleming completed, You Only Live Twice is a chilling allegory of death, rebirth, and honor. This is a great book for 007 fans! Buy this book.

Summary: I would like to rate it 1,000 stars
Review: After Watching this movie the onehundreth time, I have concluded that I like this one way better than TSWLM, and Goldfinger. This one is my favorite, this might not be anybody elses favorite, but this one ranks up their with From Russia With Love and Thunderball.

Summary: Worst Bond if there was no CONNERY
Review: Sean really tries to save that movie which as for me has some of worst components of the series as: Girls, Villain (Blofeld is smaller than Kissy?), title- song and may-be plot. Totally unrealistic!

Summary: The Most Action-packed Of The Connery Bonds
Review: You Only Live Twice remains one of the best of the James Bond films, combining an intriguing premise - albiet one with some prohlems - with a strong mixture of great cimematogrophy, great action, and a strong cast.Twice's primary strength lies in introducing James to Japan. Here Bond is a fish out of water, as the film plays up his struggle to adapt to a culture so different from the ones he's encountered before. It is this quality that helps explain what many other reviewers claim to be a phoned-in quality to Sean Connery's performance. Connery was disenchanted with the Bond series, for sure, and some of his athletic moves lack the crispness one would expect, but Connery's performance, despite a few portions where he really does phone it in, is still superb. The basic plot revolves around the disappearence of several spacecraft. The disappearence of the US ship Jupiter 16 opens the film, highlighted by John Barry's genuinely frightening music cue as another spacecraft remorselessly approaches the ship and encases it within its belly, severing the lifeline of an astronaut and letting him float to spatial asphyxiation. The uncredited roles of Ed "Colonel Straker" Bishop (of UFO and Captain Scalet & The Mysterons) and Shane "Scott Tracy" Rimmer as tracking station technicians add strikingly to the scene. The US and Soviet Russia blame each other for the disappearences, to the point where both go to nuclear alert - much to the delight of the real culprits, SPECTRE. Donald Pleasance marks the series' first appearence of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, until now seen only at angles hiding his scarred face. Pleasance completely commands the role, making Blofeld a genuine menace with the ugly scar on his face and his ruthless disposal of inept followers. Karin Dor is the film's femme fatale, Number 11, first seducing James (how much most male viewers wished the film had carried through to completion the sex that ensues upon Bond's disrobing of her), then trapping him on a stricken airplane. Blofeld finds that Bond is alive and takes his revenge by dropping Number 11 into an indoor pool filled with piranhas - one of the most chilling scenes of a film series replete with such. The film's major action set piece is an assault by Japanese SIS on a "dead" volcano that is SPECTRE's hideout. The battle is exceptionally harrowing, machines guns and death exploding everywhere, and is among director Lewis Gilbert's finest moments. The contrast of the chaos at the volcano and the tense calm at The Pentagon as the US prepares to attack Russia is chilling. The film's special effects are generally amateurish by modern standards, regrettable because otherwise the film is very elaborate and entertaining and is a favorite of the Connery Bonds.

Summary: I would have rated it 100 stars!!!!!!!!1
Review: I just watched this movie last night. Although I've already seen it, This is a great movie to watch. Of all the Bond films, this is the second best. The first is "The ___ ___ _____ me" Anyways, Blofeld plays an extroidinary role in this movie. Great action. Plot: An American shuttle is captured by a war lord. Blofeld. He is obsessed with starting a war with the Russians, and the Americans. The Events of this could start World domination unless James Bond can do something about it.
