On Her Service, Off The Rails
Advantages: True Bond
Disadvantages: Not as entertaining
...took up the role for On Her Majesty's Secret Service in what is actually one of the better films in terms of plot.
The Plot
Relieved of pursuing Blofeld by his superiors, Moneypenny cleverly acquires James Bond two weeks' leave, during which he travels to Switzerland in pursuit of a mob boos' daughter as well as Blofeld, for the S.P.E.C.T.R.E. number 1 is hatching a new plot, involving chemical tests on human beings in the hope of creating superhumans. ...
...This all having been said, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is not as entertaining as the previous Bond films. There is none of the indestructibility of Connery's Bond, and nothing too flashy and unbelievable, and I feel that is the large part of the attraction of Bond, and so I understand why a lot of people don't rate O.H.M.S.S. as highly as other Bond films. However, I do. It;s a wonderful film.
Conclusion
Bond as Fleming intended.
The DVD is ...

"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 ...
