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.

Will G 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review nick s Good effort went into sets and the action sequences. Barring the painfully obvious greenscreen. However some fight scenes looked like they were cobbled together from different takes and they didn't really flow. Savalas was good as always and Diana Rigg was hypnotic. Unfortunately Lazenby was not so convincing. I'm guessing it was his first major film role and he looked suitably uncomfortable. The storytelling seemed a little disjointed. There was a focus on Bonds relationship for quite some length, then it abruptly stopped. Later it picked up again out of the blue. Though I did appreciate the little twist at the end. Didn't love it, but appreciated it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Charles M Didn't care for it. George's performance of Bond is weak and the directing was truly pathetic. Even the sound people couldn't get it right. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Rylan W This is probably the absolute WORST Bond movie ever! The acting is really bad and the plot is mediocre at best. George didn’t do a good portrayal of Bond. I strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Ben S Lazenby is seriously underrated, and gives what is one of the most realistic human performances. Rigg is one of the best if not best Bond girls. And the scenery and cinematography are up there with the best Bond movies. I have this in my top 5 Best Bond movies right under Connery's Bond movies. I think if Lazenby had stuck around rather than refusing a Bond contract for 5+ more movies he would have been seen as better than Craig and Dalton, whose brooding Bonds were charmless and humorless. Lazenby struck a nice balance of Connery and Moore. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Lucas t Pretty boring Bond film. 6.4/10. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
