Critics Consensus

George Lazenby's only appearance as 007 is a fine entry in the series, featuring one of the most intriguing Bond girls in Tracy di Vincenzo (Diana Rigg), breathtaking visuals, and some great ski chases.

Film of break-neck physical excitement and stunning visual attractions in which George Lazenby replaced Sean Connery as James Bond.

Chicago Reader

Director Peter Hunt manages to inject some life into this 1969 exercise with a wonderful ski chase, but otherwise the film is a bore.

Empire Magazine

Certainly no worse than the later Roger Moore efforts and, if only for curiosity value, is well worth a look.

Rated: 4/5

[George] Lazenby strikes a nice balance between self-aware humor and superspy action. It is still one of the best Bond films of all time.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service remains a fine bond film. Where the story is not super engaging and the film overall does feel long, George Lazenby is fun enough as Bond and the story is just clean enough to where you can get a bit invested in it.

Rated: C+

Compared to the pre-Casino Royals films, the only one that has aged well. A personal favorite.

I loved ever since I bought it on the revamped VHS tape circa 1995, for the promotion of Pierce's Goldeneye. Thanks a very good movie with action, romance, and comedy.

It's an ok movie but definitely not the best. I think George Lazenby was an ok choice. But i definitely didn't needed him in that Movie.

Even though On her majesty's secret service is a promising story for a bond film. It doesn't feel a part of the bond franchise because of its leading man. Now, George Lazenby is not a bad actor, but it felt like this film should have been the finale for the Connery era. At the end, it is an interesting and weird film in the series.

One of the best bonds and was a shame he didn't continue. Fabulous if you consider it was his first acting role!. Diana Rigg was the best most beautiful bond girl, wife actually. It had it all.
