I love action movies but never liked Bond movies, yet this one has fantastic action scenes, and of course John Barry’s great score. Diana Rigg was gorgeous in those years, too.

Quite frankly, this was the best film of the entire series. I think that Lazenby did a good job, especially since he was following a very tough act and that this was really his first ever acting gig. John Barry's score is perhaps the best too.

And, oh yeah, Diana Rigg made the movie!

Lazenby as Bond comes off as completely credible, a perfectly competent actor, and he cuts a masculine and heroic figure. He’s got a different look to him than Mr. Connery – he was a male model, after all – but no less intriguing.

An excellent Bond.

Lazenby (who was once married to tennis star Pam Shriver) has said his biggest career
mistake was not to take the offer for another Bond movie. It made everyone think he was
not a good Bond and therefore not offered the part. His movie career went nowhere.

I also liked that film and think Lazenby did a better job as JB than generally given credit.

For me,it didn't hurt to have Diana Rigg in the film either.

But, he was the "rebound guy" after Sean Connery. I think anyone cast in the role would have been criticized. The series would have benefited in my opinion and not become so cartoonish if they'd stuck with George rather than going to Roger Moore.

On the other hand, Telly “Who Loves Ya Baby” Savalas wasn’t nearly as credible a Blofeld as Donald Pleasence IMHO.

[count-your-change]

Naw...From Russia With Love...by far the best....all others a poor imitation...slickly done...not too gadgetry or special effects. The best one.

Many people I talk to dismiss this film out of hand, and that's a shame. I always thought Lazenby made a perfectly decent Post Connery Bond opposite Telly Savalas and my first Trans-Oceanic crush at the time, Diana Rigg.

Compared to later Moore, Dalton and Brosnan offings, OHMSS stands near the top of the Bond franchise. With From Russia With Love and Goldfinger acing it out.

This film took years to grow on me. As a youth, I didn't really care for it. But as I grew into middle age, I came to appreciate it fully.

It's hard to lose with Diana Rigg as the main Bond girl. Lazenby certainly had the physical presence. The gadgets weren't overwhelming. Yes, I agree that Donald Pleasance was a better Blofeld in You Only Live Twice than Telly Savalsas. And yes, the music score is simply awesome.

And the film is even a reasonalbly close adaptation of the novel.

[Mr Rogers]

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.
