BOND: YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE(1967)
Bond! James Bond!
A great theme song by Nancy Sinatra, and Sean
Connery is back again! But, this time around not
an excellant show! While there are some pretty cool
toys in this, the main issue for me is that this has
too much sci-fi attached to it! But on the plus side,
it is mostly based in my second favorite country in
the world, Japan, some of the most beautiful girls in
the entire world(!), Ninjas and all!!! It also has a great
actor as the head of SPECTRE, Donald Pleasance(The
Great Escape, Escape To Witch Mountain).
When an American space capsule is swallowed up
by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship
World War 3 nearly breaks out. The British Government
however suspects that other powers are at work as
the space craft went down near Japan. S.P.E.C.T.R.E.
is the force behind the theft as James Bond discovers
but its motives are far from clear and he must first find
out where the captured space capsule is held before
America and Russia initiate another world war. Even
with its detractions, it's still far above most other
movies! B+
A review from Amazon.com:
The film boasts the best of the Bond title songs (this one sung on a
dreamy track by Nancy Sinatra), but the movie itself is one of the
weaker ones of the Sean Connery phase of the 007 franchise. The
story concerns an effort by the evil organization SPECTRE to start
a world war, but the not-so-super villain behind the plot is the
awfully civilized Donald Pleasence. The thin script is by Roald Dahl
(shouldn't we have expected a better Bond nemesis from the creator
of mad genius Willy Wonka?), and direction is by British veteran Lewis
Gilbert(Alfie). But the movie can't hold a candle to Dr. No, From Russia
with Love, or Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh
