Summary: The best
Review: Most people can't get beyond George Lazenby replacing the beloved Sean Connery as James Bond. It's too bad. While Lazenby is definitely not Connery, his performance is unfairly bashed and ridiculed. He does borrow often from his predecessor, but if you have to copy somebody, make it the best. Lazenby does a fine job with the action sequences. All in all, he doesn't deserve the harsh press, even if this was his only Bond movie. Remember that he decided to leave the series, not the producers. Who knows how his legend would have played out if he played Bond a few more times? The movie itself has everything the other Bonds do. Great action sequences, pretty girls, evil villains, witty one-liners, great music. One thing it has that most of the others don't is a deeper plot beyond the bad guy ruling the world, although that is included. Bottom line, from the pre-credits sequence to the "surprise", emotional ending, this is the best movie in the Bond series. Watch it for yourself, keep an open mind once George walks onscreen and decide for yourself.

Summary: the sleeper
Review: a litte too subtle bond from lazenby, a suprisingly bland villian in savalas and awkwardly staged fight scenes dont matter one bit in the best bond since goldfinger.
diana rigg is far and away the best of the bond girls and one can easily see why our hero would actually fall in love with her.
and for what its worth,this one most feels like an ian fleming book.
this one your girlfriend can actually watch with you.

Summary: Hey, this really is the most memorable Bond film
Review: In between Connery and Moore was one Bond film with George Lazenby. It's too bad that they did not bring him back for more as this film is quite different from the rest of the Bond films. In-fact, I like it the best. This one has a better story and has a "human" (and realistic) factor that the other Bond's lack (although Connery is great). In this film, no gadgets but the action is plenty. In addition to the action is a surprisingly good story in which you actually care about Bond and his leading lady. Lazenby does a fantastic job as does Telly Savales. Although one of the least talked about (and more obscure Bond films) Bond films, it remains to me the most memorable Bond films. Without spoiling anything, this remains the most "touching" Bond film to date and leaves you questioning "Why?". This is a classic Bond film which deserves alot better. Lazenby deserved alot better too as he did a phenominal job in playing 007. Very realistic, energetic and touching at the same time. Right up there with the best of all Bonds (if not "thee" best).Do NOT overlook this film. You may be surprised with how good it is.

Summary: We Have All the Time in the World!
Review: The 6th James Bond movie. After five successful pictures, Sean Connery had stepped out from the role of Agent James Bond to explore other career opportunities. The perennial question in the minds of millions of fans was who would play James Bond now? The answer arrived at a fortuitous encounter when Albert R. Broccoli was at a salon, noticing a tall, handsome Australian born stranger who reminded him greatly of 007, and had a successful career as a model and promoting television commercials - George Lazenby! Indeed Lazenby's resourcefulness combined with dynamite direction from Peter Hunt, and an interesting Bond girl and love interest in Diana Rigg, the film would last an indelible impression on fans who grew up enduring the films. THE ASSIGNMENT: Bond is instructed by M to abandon his search for Blofeld, which is getting nowhere fast and resume other duties. After given two weeks notice leave, he adjourns to Portugal to secretly continue his search. His only lead suggests Blofeld claiming the title of "Comte de Bleuchamp", and he persuades geneologist Sir Hilary Bray to take his place where Bond would travel there incognito. Indeed Blofeld inherits an Institute of Physiological Research clinic with dozens of beautiful women who are all undergoing allergy treatments. While there Bond discovers Blofeld is up to his usual sinister plans - developing a virus which induces permanent sterility in particular breeds of animals and various strains of plants. He plans to spread the virus by means of the girls (who are armed with lethal atomizers). He intends to hold the West to ransom. As a pardon from his previous crimes he does not ask money in return, but recognition as the Bleuchamp title. Once again, all depends on 007! THE VILLAINS: Telly Savalas as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Ilse Steppat as Irma Bunt, and Yuri Borienko as henchman Grunther. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! BUY IT!

Summary: A most TERRIBLE Bond
Review: If only there were a 0 star rating that I could apply to what is undoubtedly the worst Bond movie ever! "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is definitely the black eye of the entire James Bond movie series. For starters, the plot was awful, slow, and terribly confusing. The romance sequences were pointless, succeding only in losing an important element of Bond's womanizing character. Bond is a lover, but should never fall IN LOVE. What a way to blow the Bond formula.
Also, for a movie that relies heavily on the previous 5 Bond movies, this film certainly had a lack of continuity. For example, was anyone else as confused as I was when both Bond and Dr. Ernst Blofeld didn't recognize each other? One might argue that Blofeld had surgery to eliminate his earlobes and his scar, but one certainly can't argue that for Bond! I know he's played by a different actor, but the characters don't know that!
While we're on the subject, I must say that George Lazenby plays with out a doubt the worst Bond of them all. Every other Bond was successful in that they brought something of their own personalities to the character. However, Lazenby seemed like he was trying desperately to (poorly) impersonate Sean Connery. Not to mention that he acts more like a goof than the sauve, cool, butt-slapping Bond that we all have become accustomed to. The guy looks like Prince Charles for crying out loud! It's no surprise to me that Lazenby is only in one Bond movie.
This movie is the stinker of all the Bonds. My reccomendation is to avoid it at all costs.

Summary: Terrible Bond movie
Review: This has to be the worst Bond of them all! (The only reason I even have it is because I got the complete Bond set and apparently you can no longer get them individually).
Here's an example of how bad and unbeleavable the story is:
in one instance, he's seducing numerous patients at Blowfelds clinic, the next we're supposed to believe he's in love with Tracey? Give me a break.

Summary: One of the Best Bonds
Review: After sitting through the dreadful "Live and Let Die" last weekend, "OHMSS" looks better all the time, though it's a bit overlong. I'm grateful that George Lazenby was 007 in this particular effort rather than appearing in subsequent Bond films (which were mostly forgettable except for Connery's return in "Never Say Never Again"). In fact, the series should have ended after the Lazenby film.

Summary: The greatest James Bond film of all
Review: In the 1960's, only The Beatles were more popular than James Bond, so replacing Sean Connery as 007 was tantamount to subbing for Lennon or McCartney in the Liverpool quartet. Contrary to popular belief, George Lazenby, the Australian model now immortalized as the answer to a trivia question (Which actor only lived once as 007?), won his share of praise and was even nominated for a Golden Globe as best newcomer for his impressive turn as the world's most famous spy. The belief that fans stayed away from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in droves is but one more myth that has grown up around this, the most perfect film in the long running series. Lazenby's sole outing made less money than the three films that preceded it, but few films of the 60s dominated the box-office quite the way "Goldfinger," "Thunderball," and "You Only Live Twice" did. "OHMSS" was less successful than the previous Bonds precisely because it was as daring as Lazenby was in accepting the role. Whereas the other entries in the series were escapist entertainment stuffed with ingenious gadgets and featuring a central character who rarely broke a sweat, "OHMSS" gives us a James Bond capable of vulnerability, a man who can show fear and is not immune to heartbreak. Lazenby is that man, and his performance is superb. The story is also more mature, less concerned with action and special-effects than any other film in the series. And when it comes to Bondgirls, for once this often generic role is inhabited by a real actress playing a real woman - the beautiful Diana Rigg whose intelligence shines through in every scene she's in. But if it's action you want, "OHMSS" delivers. The breathtaking ski chases have been endlessly imitated in the later Bonds (most notably in "For Your Eyes Only") but never improved upon. When it comes to the score, the great John Barry outdid himself with the striking instrumental that accompanies the opening titles and Louis Armstrong's heartbreaking "We Have All the Time in the World." "OHMSS" is not only the best Bond, it is also the last truly great film in the series. In fact, had the decision been made to end the series, this would have been the perfect final chapter.

Summary: Best Bond Ever!!!!!
Review: I find the Bond movies entertaining and well done. But there isn't often a lot to hold your attention outside of stunts and cleavage. OHMSS has plot and consequences and is a "real movie". George Lazenby was a great Bond.
