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

Rating: - Bond Again
Since 007 is back in action, under a powerful Daniel Craig, its nice to look to Ian Fleming books. In this adventure Bond is more vulnerable than ever, since his wife, Tracy, were killed by Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Fleming give us once again a wonderful construction for 007 personality. Exploring the dark side of his creation, and a interesting oriental background.
Rating: - "I think I shall enjoy very much serving under you."
First off, this isn't a spy film so much as it is a superhero adventure (part of the reason Connery became disenchanted with the role) and on that level it's a blast. Gadget and gimmick ladden, it takes the bigger and better formula to the nth degree. Even when looking overweight and bored, Sean Connery still has more screen presence than Roger Moore on his best day. Donald Pleasance as Blofeld was a substitute for a Czech actor who looked more like Santa Claus than the evil leader of SPECTRE. (One of his men, Burt Kwong, is the same guy who played the Chinese scientist in GOLDFINGER and Sellers ... Read More
Rating: - This is the BEST BOND EVER!
No doubt about it. This is the quintessiential Bond flick. Why? Because it delivers action packed excitement, torrid romance, a very exotic locale and perhaps the greatest Bond theme song ever. The movie pulls you in and you can't turn it off! For a 1960's film, the effects are really good and the Japanese actors (and actresses!) are believable and sexy. There's plenty of action, what with a great helicopter dogfight, high tech Bond weapons and Ninja warrors. My only criticism is that when the Soviet spacecraft is launched in space (later to be intercepted) they show a GEMINI space launch!!! UGGH! ... Read More

It's difficult to believe that this movie is more than 40 years old (counting from the date of this review)!!
(Sir) Sean Connery made six EON (or "official") movies with him starring as James Bond. They were: (1) Dr. No (1962) (2) From Russia with Love (1963) (3) Goldfinger (1964) (4) Thunderball (1965) (5) You Only Live Twice (1967) and (6) Diamonds are Forever (1971).
As you can see from the above list, this movie is the fifth spy film of the British Bond series. As well, it is the fifth to star Connery as the fictional MI6 agent Commander James Bond (code ... Read More
