My Rating: *** out of ****. Out of all Connery's Bonds this is the one that is rather hidden. The first four films he did were most famous. Diamonds Are Forever is famous for being one of the worst Bonds and for Connery's huge salary. But You Only Live Twice is rarely mentioned. Thats too bad because it is a highly enjoyable Bond. You only Live Twice contains exacly what Bond Fans expect: A Fast-Paced Plot, Great Action Sequences, Beautiful Girls, and some Nice Locations. All of these mix together well. This film is not without problems, but there is so much good here that make this an enjoyable Bond. One of the weaknesses has to do with the plot. The space scenes are more than a little hokey. They always seem to stick out. Sometimes the score makes them better than they deserve to be. In Goldeneye, there was a space related weapon that seemed to work much better in that film. Another weakness is the lack of a good villain. Donald Pleasance does an ok job as Blofeld but nothing that standsout at all. The make up makes him look more intimidating than he should be. A minor problem has to do with the script. The script was written by Roald Dahl. For the most part, he does seem to understand Bond. But there was a one liner that was excruciatingly bad ("Just like a drop in the ocean"), what kind of a one-liner is that. Connery could not even deliver it straight which makes it stick out. One thing that I liked in You Only Live Twice was the nice relationship that developed between Bond and Aki. It also ends on an ironic note. That was something I had not seen much in a Bond Film. I was pleasantly surprised by You Only Live Twice. There was a bit of Japanese flavor in it that interested me. A very underrated Bond Film.

This is another very well made Bond film, Sean Connery is up to his usual high standard, and he is ably abetted by Donald Pleasance as Blofeld, it's got all the usual trademarks, good direction, good photography, good music, and good action, particularly the Helicopter battle. It helps that they actually filmed in the places they were supposed to be at, adding quality and authenticity and with Chinese or Japanese actors, the only downside is that they were dubbed. The title song is good, by Nancy Sinatra, but not the best. Bond Themes: - Live Intro, Silhouette Titles, Casino scene, M, Q & Moneypenny, Spectre, Cars (not Aston martins, Toyota 2000GTs instead), no Belly dancer, no Train scene and no Felix Leiter as well. Henchmen - Hans, played by Ronald Rich and someone who was just a getaway driver but turns out to be well hard, Peter Fanene Maivia from Samoa, also Miss Brandt played by Karin Dor (also a Bond Girl). Gadgets : Little Nellie Bond Girls, there were 4 in this one, the first was in the Hong Kong intro, Ling (no. 16) played by Tsai Chin (Hong Kong), next was one of two main "Bond Girls" Aki (no.17) played by Japanese actor Akiki Wakabayashi, and very nice too, unfortunately she gets killed later. Then it was Miss Brandt (No.18), played by German actor Karin Dor (a very good actor), she was a baddie, and Bond tries to turn her, but it does not work, she tries to kill 007, making her a Henchwoman as well, but she gets it later, and lastly in this film Kissy (no. 19), the one he marries, and the best looking, she wouldn't have him at first but he nailed her at the end. And about that marriage, Bond is supposed to have only been married once, in the next to Tracy (Diana Rigg) but he gets married here, it's said to be a fake marriage, but I don't see how, they went through the whole ceremony, the only thing that was fake was his name and his toupee, (I know its make-believe, I am just on about the characters and story), so for me Bond has been married twice and committed bigamy in OHMSS, unless they have annulled it. Oh and in one scene Henderson asks Bond if his Martini/Vodka is "Stirred not Shaken" and Bond agrees, so for true it does not matter how he takes it. Anyway, it's another solid effort from Connery and the Bond Team, not the best but not far off, I would have given a 9 had they not dubbed most of the oriental's.

My vote for the best Sean Connery Bond film goes to Goldfinger, which is also a contender for the best ever Bond too. You Only Live Twice is one of the best of the series for me. Why? Well the cinematography and locations once again are stunning and the music and theme song are really quite memorable. The pacing is brisk, the story is great and eventful and the script is suitably arch. Sean Connery is still his suave and charismatic self, while Donald Pleasance's Blofeld is one of the all-time great screen villains even though most of the time he is unseen. Add to that an explosive climax set in a secret base that is definitive and forever parodied and you have a truly great Bond entry. 10/10 Bethany Cox

After "Dr. No", "From Russia with Love" and "Goldfinger" were all so cool, "Thunderball" seemed to be getting tacky, and "You Only Live Twice" seems even more so (granted, it's still worth seeing). This one has James Bond (Sean Connery) going to Japan to investigate the disappearances of American and Soviet spaceships. Since the superpowers are blaming each other, there could be a nuclear holocaust if Bond doesn't find out the truth. Sure enough, the culprit turns out to be SPECTRE. And SPECTRE's leader Blofeld (Donald Pleasance) looks like he could be Dr. Evil's father, natch. Oh well. The point of these movies is to have fun, and you sure will with this one. If nothing else, there's always a plethora of hot women, and this one even has the two women from "King Kong vs. Godzilla". Passable.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently. This is the fifth in the Bond series n Connery reprises his role of James Bond for the fifth time. This time Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet astronauts disappear mysteriously in orbit, each nation blaming the other. In this movie, Bond faces his arch enemy, Blofeld (Donald Pleasence), his bodyguard Hans n some offscreen piranhas. Bond gets to cool off with Akiko Wakabayashi, Mie Hama, Tsai Chin n Karin Dor. Things about Blofeld from the book - Blofeld is a man of honor. In the book, Blofeld promises that a girl he's holding hostage will be returned unharmed if her father pays the ransom. SPECTRE Number 9 is in charge of the hostage and, after the money is paid, he rapes the girl before returning her home. After learning this, Blofeld kills Number 9 for disobeying orders and returns half the ransom money. In the book, Blofeld is 6.3 in height n a massive man, weighing 140 kg. He had been a champion weightlifter in his youth.

You Only Live Twice is pure Comic Book entertaiment. James Bond is very much the superhero character he was in Goldfinger, and every scene is like a panel in a Comic Book and filled with entertaining excitement. In truth, it is though the feel and style that was vibrant throughout Goldfinger [1964] leapfrogged the dull Thunderball [1965] and found it's way to Japan. Twice is a beautiful looking and sounding addition to the Bond movies, and one is glad Sean Connery didn't really resign from the role of Bond and did indeed Live Twice. By jettisoning most of Ian Flemmings original story You Only Live Twice, in wich an amnesiac Bond Hunts down Blofeld in Japanese castles, Broccoli and Saltzman have ridden themselves of the same problem evident in Thunderball : Slow Movement, Uninterested Audiences. Thunderball may have been a success, but this was probably due to the Bondmania wich raged through the mid sixties like a giant inferno. Luckily for the fans of the eye popping spectacles the Bond series is famous for, You Only Live Twice contains no such problems of dreary moments of boardom. In its place we have a Space Age actioneer written by childrens author Roald Dahl, and an entertaining and swift director in Lewis Gilbert, who seems more suited to Bond than any director yet. It has been said before, but the real star of the show is Ken Adams sets. His wondefull Volcano set wich Blofeld uses is one of the most memorable in Cinema history. Add to this the Japanese sets, the Submarines [M's Offices], Tanaka's Lair, and the real sense of Japanese authenticy. Adam deserves an Oscar for this movie alone. For his total contributions to Bond and other movies, there is no Award yet created. Donald Pleasence makes a very creepy Blofeld. He is perhaps the ultimate Blofeld. His scenes with the other cast members show the complete acting skills of a fine actor. Twice also contains one of Desmonde Lywellyn's funniest performances as Q,and one of Q's finest creations, the Little Nellie Helicopter. Little Nellie is every Bond fans dreams, personally i think it would be lovely to soar above rural England in Nellie, let alone Japan! Some guys have all the luck! Twice also has one of John Barry's most beautiful themes,and songs sung by Nancie Sinatra. The only real let down this time is Sean Connery. He makes any Bond film look good, but this time doesn't look as though he is enjoying himself all that much. This is a petty bacause Twice itself is a very impressive and enjoyable Bond movie, with some of the best sets, Action sequences and Acting in the entire series.

When I was around 11 or 12 years old, my dad and I watched all the James Bond movies that were released then (which was up until "License to Kill") in a period of just a couple of days. Although I liked almost every single one of them, the one and only that instantly became my favorite one in the series! I mean, what wasn't to be loved about this awesome movie?!? The utterly cool sequences of space capsules being swallowed – literally – by bigger and monstrous rockets, the fantastic villainous headquarters hidden inside an inactive volcano, the exciting scenes at the ninja training camp, the cool aerial battle between 007 in his silly little yellow toy-airplane versus various heavily armed black helicopters, the pet piranhas, and – most of all – the portrayal of the ultimate evil mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld by the inimitable Donald Pleasance. Now, 25 years and yet another 8 new Bond installments later, I can still shamelessly admit that "You Only Live Twice" still stands as my personal favorite Bond movie and – even though Sir Sean Connery will probably disagree with me – it's undeniably the most entertaining one of the entire series. Through the eyes and ears of an adult viewer I can add more good reasons to love this movie, actually, like for example it features on of the top three greatest theme songs (courtesy of Nancy Sinatra) and an action-packed screenplay penned down by another one of my childhood heroes, namely Roald Dahl. The plot of "You Only Live Twice" is easily summarized Criminal organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E, led by the scar-faced and cat-loving psychopath Blofeld, is well on track to evoke a third World War by alternately abducting a US and then a Soviet space capsule from within a secret base camp on a Japanese volcanic island, and then counting on the fact that these two stubborn world powers will blame each other. Luckily the intelligent British government suspects there's more going on, and so they send their best agent to the Far East. In order to fulfill his delicate mission, 007 first has to fake his own death and then literally must become a Japanese warrior. "You only live Twice" is another fast- paced and spectacular Bond-adventure with beautiful exotic filming locations, lots of pleasant hi-tech gadgetry (cigarette gunfire, anyone?) and plenty of action. The Bond girls in this one are all Oriental, evidently, so whether Akiko Wakabayashi and Mie Hama rank amongst the most beautiful 007 bed partners or not entirely depends on your own personal taste. My major complaint now is that I remember Pleasance's role in the film to be bigger When I was 12- years-old Donald Pleasance must have made such an everlasting impression on me that he forever remains the embodiment of James Bond villains
