You
Only Live Twice was the first last Sean Connery Bond film, an odd statement but
true due to Connery retiring three times from the role before it permanently
took. You Only Lives Twice has several of the earmarks of a lesser Bond.
Connery isn't exactly giving it his all, the action set pieces are not all that
spectacular, though not bad, and the majority of the film is going through the
motions. The one part of the film that seems against this is our Blofeld played
by the very talented Donald Pleasance, even though he's good, he's also barely
in the film. It's a film that is easy enough to watch, but honestly the most
memorable part of the film, outside of Pleasance, is the worst part of the
film. That being the bizarre sequence where Bond goes undercover as a Japanese
man through some terribly unconvincing makeup that apparently is just as
unconvincing to the film's villains.
2.5/5
