Freaktana A Major Disappointment

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

dennisco-76051 For those keeping track, 007 has sex with 4 different dames in this movie. One of them is clearly a sexual harassment situation, as he actually threatens to have his physical therapist fired if she doesn't comply. Total number of women James has had sex with in the first 5 movies is 18.

SimonJack This is the fifth of the James Bond series with Sean Connery as Agent 007. The progression continues with global travels and exotic locations. This time, much action takes place in Japan and its islands, after visits to Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Bermuda, Spain and Norway. And, for complimentary allies for the big battle scene that has become common in the Bond films, this one has Ninja warriors. "You Only Live Twice" has a nice, intriguing opening. And, it has more advanced technical weapons and toys for Bond to use – or play with, as he often seems to be doing. This film has him using Nelly, the super mini-helicopter assembled from a carton, and with super firepower. The film is also a good reminder about smoking being hazardous for one's health. The scenery in Japan is beautiful. For as tight and secretive as Tanaka's Japanese secret service was supposed to be, it was interesting that he should have two moles inside from the dastardly SPECTRE. The plot for this film was especially intriguing at the time of the film's release. In 1967, the U.S. and Soviet Union indeed were in the space race – as though one might dominate space. The use of film clips of the U.S. and Soviet launches of the orbiting space flights was very good. The artwork in special effects of the SPECTRE spacecraft gobbling up the American and Soviet space capsules is very good, and humorous. Each time it showed that, it looked as though the predator was an alligator swallowing a big bullet. This was a fun and very entertaining film in the James Bond series.

slightlymad22 You Only Live Twice (1967) Plot In A Paragraph: James Bond (Connery) is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet manned spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit.It's a bit of a bore for me this one I'm afraid!! The best things about this movie is Nancy Sinatra's title track and the set designs including the huge hollowed out volcano. Even Donald Pleasence appearing as Blofeld isn't enough to bring this movie above average. Sean Connery is James Bond screamed the poster, but in could have read James Bond is Sean Connery, as it would appear that is all audiences wanted from him. With the exception of Marnie (which was considered at flop at the time) which no doubt was helped by a Hitchcock movie, none of his work outside of Bond made a dent at the Box Office. During the filming in Japan, it was announced that Connery would retire from the role of Bond after this movie.You Only Live Twice stopped the run of the latest Bond movie grossing more than the last. It still did very, very well ending 1967 as the 7th highest grossing movie of they year with a $43 million dollar haul from a $10 million budget.

FilmBuff1994 You Only Live Twice is a great movie with a well developed plot and a good cast. It is a very fun film in the 007 franchise as we see James Bond team up with Japanese agents to take down an organisation that have been destroying spacecraft. It has a sense of humour and never takes itself too seriously, which makes it an easy, relaxing viewing. It is, on the other hand, very typical, it does not really offer anything new or exciting to the franchise, which is why I chose to give it an eight over a nine. There is an overly large focus on gadgets, to a degree that it comes across as lazy writing. Bond rarely uses his own skills to get out of certain danger, as he has a gadget specifically made for the peril he is in almost every time. Sean Connery still shines in the lead role, even in his fifth portrayal of the character, his wit, charisma and screen presence is still highly evident, as well as stellar chemistry with love interest Mie Hanna, he holds the whole film together and makes it worthwhile. It is certainly flawed, but the imperfections of You Only Live Twice can be easily overlooked as it is an enjoyable, action packed installment of the James Bond franchise. James Bond is sent to Japan to investigate the disappearance of an American spacecraft. Best Performance: Sean Connery
