Review of You Only Live Twice (2007) by Ian G — 25 Dec 2008

Extremely solid entry to the Bond series, doesn't touch the status of From Russia with Love or Goldfinger but comes really close with the introduction of the second most iconic villain from Bond lore Ersnt Blofield head of Spectre, the awesome hide out in a hollowed out volcano, and just for overall craftmanship.

Contains a lot of the vintage and classic elements we have come to expect in terms of action set pieces, gorgeous locales, cars and Bond girls. Also the Ninja school adds a good segment that is seemingly unusual in the series up to that point or for most of mainstream film up to that point.

Awesome.
