Variety Staff Variety Film of break-neck physical excitement and stunning visual attractions in which George Lazenby replaced Sean Connery as James Bond. Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Don Druker 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. Oct 13, 2008 Full Review 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 Oct 13, 2008 Full Review Sarah Cortinaz InSession Film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service aims to change Bond’s usual tough guy persona by giving our hero a heart... Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [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. Jun 11, 2023 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn 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.

Marco L (CASTELLANO) Siempre había escuchado que esta entrega era floja, que George Lazenby no tenía carisma y que la película era poco menos que un error dentro de la saga. Pero al verla entera, la impresión cambia: no es ni de lejos el desastre que muchos cuentan, al contrario, tiene un valor especial que quizá en 1969 no se supo ver. Lo primero que sorprende es cómo conecta con la etapa de Daniel Craig. Más allá de la acción —que aquí es mucho más física y menos dependiente de los gadgets—, está el hecho de mostrar a un Bond vulnerable, marcado por una pérdida trágica. Ese giro humano, tan raro en aquellos años, es lo que hoy hace que la película se aprecie más que en su momento. Lazenby no es Connery, eso está claro, pero tampoco lo hace tan mal como dicen. Le falta experiencia, sí, pero se defiende en las escenas de acción y tiene química con Diana Rigg, que es la que realmente eleva la película. Su Tracy es un personaje con fuerza, y la relación con Bond aporta un peso emocional que pocas veces hemos visto en la saga. La cinta tiene secuencias memorables: persecuciones en esquí, un Blofeld encarnado por Telly Savalas que mezcla carisma con exceso, y un final que sigue siendo de los más impactantes de toda la franquicia. Puede que en su día pareciera rara o fuera de tono, pero con el paso del tiempo ha ganado enteros y ahora se entiende como una pieza clave en la evolución del personaje. No es perfecta, tiene sus excesos y algún momento que chirría, pero es mucho más valiosa de lo que se pensó. Hoy se la puede ver como un puente entre el Bond clásico y el moderno, uno que se atrevió a mostrar que incluso el 007 podía perder. (ENGLISH) I had always heard this film was weak, that George Lazenby lacked charisma and that it was little more than a mistake in the saga. But watching it in full, the impression changes: it is far from the disaster people claim, and actually has a special value that perhaps wasn’t appreciated back in 1969. The first surprise is how much it connects with the Daniel Craig era. Beyond the action —which here is more physical and less dependent on gadgets— there’s the portrayal of a vulnerable Bond, marked by tragic loss. That human angle, so unusual at the time, is precisely what makes the film more appreciated today. Lazenby is not Connery, of course, but he’s not as bad as his reputation suggests. He lacks polish, but he holds his own in the action scenes and shares genuine chemistry with Diana Rigg, who truly elevates the film. Her Tracy is a strong character, and their relationship gives the story an emotional weight rarely seen in the franchise. The movie has memorable sequences: ski chases, a charismatic (if over-the-top) Blofeld played by Telly Savalas, and an ending that remains one of the most shocking in the series. It may have seemed odd or out of place back then, but with time it has gained recognition and is now seen as a key step in Bond’s evolution. It’s not perfect —some excesses and awkward moments remain— but it’s far more valuable than it was once thought to be. Today, it can be appreciated as a bridge between the classic and the modern Bond, one that dared to show that even 007 could lose. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Mike V Far up! Far out! Far more! James Bond 007 is back! On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a 1969 spy film and the sixth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions ⛷️ Not bad, but not my favourite either 😉 It’s ok, but I feel mixed about this one 😉 I’d recommend it if you like this genre, but if not then probably give it a miss 👍🏼👎🏼 James Bond tracks his archnemesis, Ernst Blofeld, to a mountaintop retreat in the Swiss alps where he is training an army of beautiful, lethal women. Along the way, Bond falls for Italian contessa Tracy Draco, and marries her in order to get closer to Blofeld. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review James P The marmite Bond movie. Some folk love OHMSS, some hate it. I'm in the "love" group of fans. Just a shame that Lazenby only did one movie. Diamonds Are Forever would of been better with him in it as a revenge follow-up. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Daniel C. M It suffers from a lack of gadgets, but it's still a great sexy and funny spy story with good action and even actual romance and is surprisingly enough very effective with a very heavy ending. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos, e poucos ajudaram a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, esse filme teve mais cenas de diálogos e menos cenas de ação, do que o filme anterior do 007 de 1967, que era o Sean connery o 007, nesse foi o George lazemby, que não foi tão bem assim, mas o final desse filme é bom, todos os finais do 007 até 1969, tinha sido o James bond junto com a garota no final do filme, se abraçando ou beijando, nesse filme foi diferente a garota do James bond tomou um tiro na cabeça depois de seu casamento com o James bond, e o tiro foi dado pela parceira do dr. Blofend, e depois os dois fogem do local, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme por que é mais diálogos do cenas de ação, mas o final do filme foi bom, diferenciou dos outros filmes do 007. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Amos H I cry everytime I watch this movie. Gorgeous storytelling. Thank you to everyone associated with this masterpiece.
