Review of You Only Live Twice (2007) by Dan M — 13 Jul 2013
I think this is my LEAST of LEAST favorite bonds(At least with Connery,discluding DAFE). The Story is pretty boring and seems to drag on and isn't that entertaining. And it feels like its a just like a.
..vacation info on Japan. And Connery being disguised as a Japanese person was just badly done(to me he looks more like Mr.Spock and it seems like total racial profiling). And when you FINALLY see Blowfeld(played GREAT by Donald Pleasent) it seems anticlimactic or something.
You see hints of him before and think he's going to be this menacing villain and then he turns out to be this short harmless type guy with a cat.Connery also by this time seems like he was bored with the role through out this whole film(He still did good but.
.when you looked at his face he seemed like he was bored by the roll and had a very...ho-hum been there done that look on his face)And also I think that he PROBABLY would've ended with this one if they hadn't offered him so much money to come back after OHMSS.
All in all I think this is one of two things for me: Its one of Connery's worst bonds and also the story is possibly one of the most un-interesting and dull ideas. I would recommend any of the first three(and four was.
..not bad and would recommend it too but the first three are def. superior) but would say to only really watch this one if you wanted to watch them all in continuity or if it was the only one available At the time.
