Terrific. Any detractors of OHMSS need to re-watch it. Despite a few stumbles, its a thoroughly enjoyable Bond film with perhaps the most development of Bonds character since Dr. No. Lets dive in.
A Different Bond, James Bond
We begin as we always do, with the man himself. The man, however, is now George Lazenby.
There have been many detractors of Mr. Lazenby over the years, but here in 2011, he comes off as completely credible, a perfectly competent actor, and he cuts a masculine and heroic figure. Hes got a different look to him than Mr. Connery he was a male model, after all but no less intriguing. His first appearance is on a windy beach road, passed by in a sports car by his soon-to-be-lover Tracy Di Vicenzio (Diana Rigg). The director, Peter R. Hunt, was the editor of all the previous Bond films, and plays coy with the audience for only a few moments before revealing the new Bond. Mr. Lazenby is shown only in silhouette or in extreme close-ups. When he leaps from his car, we get our first look. It isnt long before hes in a wave-crashing and sand-blasting fistfight with the thugs assailing Tracy. Although I hate the moment where he says, This never happened to the other fellow and throws a quick glance to the camera, Mr. Lazenbys introduction makes it pretty clear: hes no pansy.

Wow, you must have found a good site! - while wading around, snicker, snort, choke......heh.
Then again it may have been a “spoof” film
But it is not!
Worst Bond movie made for years, although it has been surpassed on that list with time.
“he cuts a masculine and heroic figure” - not! He actually was an excellent athlete, but he comes across like a gay guy pretending to be interested in women.
I agree, Daniel Craig....like the strong actors should be.
...no whimps...metrosexuals / lite-in-the-loafers types.
Lol, lots of puns I could make but I won’t.
