Review of You Only Live Twice (2007) by Drew K — 28 Aug 2009

The idea of Bond heading to Japan, terrific! The idea of having to have be trained as a ninja, terrible! I don't know what happen, maybe he was running out of steam, but Connery defiantly dropped the ball somewhere.

It could have the producers and not Sean. Sean just lazily walks through the movie not giving a damn if he's 007 or not. Sure there are elements that help the movie move along. Definitely the little nellie sequence and the discovery of SPECTRE #1 Blofeld! Aki and Kissy make good Bond girls, but it save.

Tiger or should I say the japanese version of M? Bond faking his death to confuse SPECTRE, what?! Once you wrap your head around all this, the movie picks up. As I said before Sean moves at a slow pace and the movie does too.

But hey, its my review. Not one of Sean's best. Of course only time would tell till everybody's favorite Bond return in other adventure. They didn't have to wait long. Four years later Bond in the form of Connery returned in a much more upscale adventure!
