Charles Classic Bond film with a great performance from Sean Connery Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/22 Full Review Wayne K By the time You Only Live Twice was released, the Bond film franchise had truly hit its stride, but it’s iconic star had become burned out and tired of the part, and so decided to leave, only to return a few years later thanks to, I would imagine, a very hefty pay check. In light of this, I actually thought that Connery gave a more committed performance than some have claimed. He might not be fully invested like he was before, but he still has the swagger and the gift of the gab that the character always had. There’s a lot of odd creative decisions in this movie, and some elements, such as the ninja training, the performative marriage and making Connery into a Japanese man, which is just as laughable as it sounds, prove to be utterly pointless. Bond is already proficient in hand-to-hand combat, as we even see earlier in the film, so showing him training with bamboo canes and ninja stars, only to either barely use them or not use them at all is just a waste of screentime. The story is also convoluted and full of holes, but the actions sequences are exciting and fast paced, thanks largely to some great directorial work from series newcomer Lewis Gilbert. While the introduction of Blofeld, arguably the series’ most famous villain, comes so late as to give him few things of worth to do, Pleasance, as usual, acts the hell out of the role. Overall, it’s a solid outing for 007, and a great film for Connery to (almost) bow out of the series on. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Marce S My favorite James Bond movie, with a setting in exciting Japan and fun villains. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Rob W A fantastic opening sequence, but the rest of the film just falls flat for me. I kept thinking how “A Grand Day Out” is so much better during the rocket sequences. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Daniel C. M Great action and Connery is still holding on to the character despite looking visibly tired of it. It has great gadgets, but nothing really reaches the levels of grandiose of Thunderball, and the story leaves some to be desired. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas de ação são bacanas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacaninha, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bons, e as cenas de ação melhoram o filme, com a participação do vilão careca icônico, o Blofeld que foi paródiado pelo mike myers nos 3 filmes do austin powers com o nome de dr. Evil, o filme teve cenas de ação bacanas como cenas de helicóptero vs helicóptero, perseguição de carro, cenas de lutas de 1 vs 1, e outra com o 007 vs vários inimigos, e também a cena da explosão final do filme, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.
