Crappy film

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Movie Review: "007: You Only Live Twice" (1967)This is "007" movie in states of decline, the fifth James Bond production delivers giant set designs again by production designer Ken Adam (1921-2016) as the vulcano lair of finally revealed head of underworld organization "Spectre" Ernst Stavro Blofeld, performed by insuspenseful delayed-actor appearance of Donald Pleasence (1919-1995), who takes on actor Sean Connery as somehow tireseome character of James Bond, missing the ease, splendors and elegance of former performances.Producers Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996) and Harry Saltzman (1915-1994) grant the highest budget for a "007" movie of the 1960s to new-onboard director Lewis Gilbert, who makes use of a gadget- and special effects-focused script-adaptation by Roald Dahl (1916-1990), loosely based on author Ian Fleming's novel from 1964, where the most sophisticated character conflicts as the killing of Blofeld's wife Irma Bunt, a secretly hidden high advanced samurai amour against poisonous plants for showdown purposes and the character of James Bond in transition from mourning after a lost love into an action hero once again.It is no surprise that this fifth installment tends to disappoint, especially the lovers of "From Russia With Love" (1963) or "Goldfinger" (1964); too juvenile has become "007" action including minutes of assembling a compact helicopter before mid-air flight training delivered by the character of "Q" performed by actor Desmond Llewelyn (1914-1999) to an outside Tokyo, Japan location with slow received also newly recruited Academy-Award-Winning - for the participation in David Lean directed "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) - cinematographer Freddie Young (1902-1998). The worldwide box office of this first-time in a summer month released James Bond movie mirrored the state of decline in years of character values developed by 12% less attendency over "Thunderball".© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainment LLC)

The Fifth James Bond Film was a Sharp Decline from the Previous Entries in the Series. The Cringe Factor Invades on a Regular Basis. The Cultural Phenomenon that is James Bond had Peaked and the International Super-Spy Disappointed True Bond Fans with this Barely Mediocre Movie.It's No Wonder Why Sean Connery Bailed after being Involved in this Bloated Mess. To be Fair, there are a Few Scenes Worthy of Ian Fleming's Fictional Icon. A Few Jokes that Work, out of Many that do not, and the Japanese Panoramic Travelog Type Scenes are Beautiful but this is the most Artificial Looking of the First Five. The Sci-Fi is more than Intrusive with a LOL Huge Spaceship Devouring Smaller Spaceships like so many Fish in the Sea. The "Little Nellie" Scene is so Contrived as to have Bond Click Off the Weapons with just the Perfect amount of Enemy Helicopters and is about as Suspenseful and Exciting as a Cooking Recipe.Overcooked with Bond "Becoming Japanese" (is there a Pop Song waiting to happen), the Ninja School, and a Bikini Clad "Bond Girl" Climbing the side of a Volcano, not Once but Twice.The Sets are Elaborate and Impressive, especially the Hidden Spectre Operation and Donald Pleasance is Menacing Enough as Blofeld, but the Film had Lost its Way even before the Ridiculous Ending Shootout.Probably not the Worst James Bond Movie, but it is so Disappointing Considering what had come before, that it must take Full Responsibility for being Clueless and Blinded by the Success of the Series.Thinking that "Anything Goes", and "Bigger is Better", James Bond became just another Product to be Exploited with Little Regard for the Integrity of the Character or the Fans for that Matter, that made James Bond a Four Time Champion of the World.

This film, in my opinion, is a big improvement over the decent but hugely disappointing "Thunderball." Known to be the film that "Austin Powers" has parodied the most, this film is quite a thrill ride.The production sets were magnificent. The scenery in Japan and Spectre's volcano lair were absolutely breathtaking. Director Lewis Gilbert really has a thing for epic set designs. John Barry's music score is some of the best he has ever done and just really adds to the whole thing.Another stand-out is that Bond finally comes face to face with Blofeld, who is played in a chilling performance by Donald Pleasence. In my mind, he is easily the best Blofeld. Sean Connery is great as usual, although it really does show that he was getting tired of the role at this point.The action scenes were nothing short of spectacular, with the best being the Little Nellie chase scene and the climax in the Spectre lair. Add to that an atmospheric, romantic theme song by Nancy Sinatra and you have a fun movie all around.The only thing that drags it down is the 30 minutes spent on making Bond Japanese; it felt quite perfunctory. Also, the Bond girls were a tad on the weak side.Other than that, I can't complain. This is a fun, exciting, and explosively entertaining adventure that remains one of my personal favorite James Bond films.RATING: A-
