Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

gavin6942 James Bond woos a mob boss's daughter and goes undercover to uncover the true reason for Blofeld's allergy research in the Swiss Alps that involves beautiful women from around the world.Although George Lazenby sort of shot himself in the foot by walking away from the Bond franchise, he is arguably the best James Bond ever on screen and this is one of the better films. Even telly Savalas plays a great Blofeld, though Donald Pleasance is clearly the best. And Diana Rigg? This may be her best role outside of "The Avengers".I feel like there is more development of plot and characterization, rather than non-stop action or strange gadgets. This was a fully-baked Bond, something you just never see.

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.

lawrence13 I was 18 when this film was first released and I suppose due to Sean Connery not in the role as 007 I didn't bother watching it. So to see the film for the first time ever a couple of weeks back really struck a poignant sad feeling at all that time elapsing and the two main stars so much older now but thankfully still alive. The other fascinating things about this film is the perceived chemistry between Bond and Tracey in the film and the real animosity that seems to have developed whilst making the movie between Rigg and Lazenby.Anyhow I'll say only this, if I had to chose a film for the most heartfelt love scenes , then OHMS's would be it. The tender scenes between Dianna and George coupled with John Barry and Hal Davids achingly exquisite' We have all The Time' brings a tear to my eye every time. From when he chases Tracey to her car and the beautiful Dianna Rigg turns around with tears streaming down her face which Bond (George) gently wipes away is just so beautiful as 'the theme song starts to play. Also although George is on the very rare occasion tad 'wooden' or more accurately self-conscious the scene in the barn as the blizzard rages outside where Tracey (Dianna ) seems to accept her lot that she cannot get any closer to James because of his occupation and says why are you still thinking about it and James (George) answers so gently that he is not he was '"thinking about us" and then says he loves her, for me is the tenderest love scene in any movie that I've ever seen.Dianna and George's relationship is the thing that makes this probably the best Bond movie of them all and the pair of them acted it out brilliantly. Its a wonderful film that took 47 years for me to finally see but believe me it was well worth the wait.

Giallo Fanatic In my opinion this is the best Bond movie that has been made. It doesn't star Sean Connery but I think this is a good thing since George Lazenby made his Bond look more human, as opposed to cool on the outside and cool on the inside Bond of Sir Connery. Sean Connery is a brilliant actor and he brought merit to the character of Bond, but I often feel his Bond was a little bit one-sided. With Lazenby's Bond, we explored a different Bond, a man with vulnerabilities. He was of course still a cold bastard with charm and ruthless drive for success, as shown when Bond slapped Tracy. I've read the first four novels of Ian Fleming's 007, so I am familiar with the character of Bond as he was intended as opposed to what we see on the big screen today. James Bond is first of all a politically incorrect character: he is a womanizer, he smokes a lot, he drinks a lot of alcohol and he appears to have some sort of hatred towards women. But at the same time he is a human being, a tortured character hiding behind the facade of being a ruthless assassin. In my opinion George Lazenby caught that essence pretty well. He even had the skills to be Bond: He was a martial artist, race car driver, skier and an athlete.The story and plot of 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' intrigues me, it was a departure from what we usually get in a 007 movie. It starts kind of slow (but with an impressive fight scene with Lazenby) but as the characters are explored and the plot progresses it gets better and better. The relationship between Bond and Tracy gets romantic and tender and James Bond falls in love. Marc-Ange Draco was also an interesting character, a crime lord whose daughter needs a man to dominate her. I never tire of seeing Lazenby and Gabriele Ferzetti having scenes together, I also like the scenes with Lazenby and Diana Rigg. Because I feel we were exploring Bond as opposed to just watching him chasing women and kill bad guys. So I like the character and plot driven story, in my opinion that is how a spy movie should be. Like how Ian Fleming created James Bond and the universe in it. But the movie has impressive and realistic fight scenes as well as gun fights. Not as elegant as other 007 movies but still good. By the way, Telly Savalas was quite good as Blofeld, his Blofeld felt human yet distant and cold. Reminiscent of Haghi from 'Spione' but without the edge. By the way, 'Spione' has possibly influenced Ian Fleming and how he created 007.Anyway, a great Bond movie with a shocking ending. Actually my favorite Bond movie. 9/10
