"The things I do for England."
Advantages: Fun!
Disadvantages: A bit daft
You Only Live Twice is the fifth film in the James Bond series and was released in 1967. It was the first film in the series to be based on an original screenplay rather than a Fleming novel and was written by popular children's author Roald Dahl. Fleming's story of an amnesiac Bond stalking Blofeld in a strange Japanese castle was discarded in favour of an outlandish script which sees the United States and Soviet Union played off agaisnt each other ...
...onscreen encounter with 007...
You Only Live Twice is widely regarded to be one of the dafter James Bond films but a hugely entertaining one nonetheless. The film continues the trend towards larger than life mayhem and gadgets and is most famous for Ken Adam's incredible production design which created a gigantic hollowed out volcano set for Blofeld's base, including a sliding roof and monorail! You Only Live Twice was by some distance the most ...

Connery lives twice again after this
Advantages: Great atmospheric and artistic Bond film
Disadvantages: Nothing really
...in 1967 with this offering, You Only Live Twice, once again starring the charismatic Sean Connery, but with Lewis Gilbert in the director's chair for this one.
The Plot
With the Cold War ever intense, criminal organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. tries another tack. American and Russian spacecraft have disappeared in outer space, and they are blaming each other. Anxious to avoid all out war, Bond is dispatched to Japan to seek out the perpetrators. This ...
...enter into a relationship.
You Only Live Twice was filmed almost entirely on location in Japan, and the filming is done marvellously, capturing the beauty of the countryside and the mountains and castles. The Japanese music employed in the film also sets the scene and the mood in all sequences. The acting and directing is also done very well, and I found myself enjoying this film from an angle different to that of a Bond film, more from a critical ...

Best James Bond Movie
Advantages: Sean Connery, Outstanding perfomances, Good story.
Disadvantages: One bad perfomance.
From Russia with Love is one of the greatest movie of Sean Connery aka James Bond. Brilliant perfomance by Sean Connery. This movie is great because every character in this movie is strong that means perfomance by every individual is superb with an exception of Rosa Klebb(movie cast) coz her performance wasn't that good compared to others.
James bond travels through Russia and resolves his case with his cool attitude, perfect style and attire. And ...

Dr No
Advantages: Great Storyline, Great Musical Score, Fantastic Actors, Great Special Effects
Disadvantages: Being an older film, it hasn't got the best picture quality
Dr No is the first film in the massive James Bond series. It stars Sean Connery as the famous British agent, starring alongside Ursula Andress. When in Jamacia investigating various mishaps, Bond stumbles upon a plot to take over the world spearheaded by the manical Doctor Julious No. His investigations into this plot takes him to Crab Key Island, where he finds Doctor No's secret base and attempts to stop the threat once and for all...
Dr No also ...
...next few movies of the series. SPECTRE is an enjoyable prospect alone, as the newer Bond films have no sense of continuity, whilst the originals felt more like a series that continued from the preceding film.
The movie is very enjoyable, and showcases what a great actor Sean Connery is. The fear he shows through his face in the tarantula scene and the proffesionalism he gives Bond makes him one of the better actors to play the famous agent. His ...

Connery is not forever, but diamonds are!
Advantages: The return of Connery
Disadvantages: Too tongue in cheek for me
...next Bond film in 1971, Diamonds Are Forever, Mr. Charisma Sean Connery came back for one more film before passing the mantle over to Roger Moore.
The Plot
With revenge on the mind as much as stopping the international crime lord, James Bond once again faces his nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Anxious to stop a diamond smuggling ring, Bond is sent to Vegas to pose as a diamond dealer, where he faces the deadly pairing of killers Mr Wint and Mr Kidd, ...
...and Thumper. Whilst there, Bond uncovers Blofeld's plot to create a diamond laser positioned in space, where he can hold the world to ransom. Armed with a host of gadgets from Q and equipped with a whole load of double entendres of his own, Bond faces possibly his toughest mission yet.
The Cast and Performances
Sean Connery looks a lot older as Bond, but it still does not detract from his performance. The only negative I have is that there is less ...
