GREAT STORY, OKAY BOND
By a customer from NEWCASTLE , 24 Jun 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
When Sean Connery decided to leave the role of 007: James Bond for after ' You Only Live Twice' it was up to producers Harry Saltzman & Albert R. ' Cubby' Broccoli to find a decent replacement. no doubt this film would have been better if Connery had been Bond. but Australian model George Lazenby does his best with the role and pulls off the emotional scenes very sensitively but it's being brutal Bond which isn't Lazeby's strong point.
Telly Savalas is not right for Blofeld with his American accent and it would have been cool if Donald Pleasance stayed on{he could show 'size matters not'like an evil version of Yoda he could tear strips off James Bond who could be the ' Bondian' equivelant of Count Dooku - Good Version}. but Kojack actor Telly Savalas is still really good in the role. Diane Rigg isn't a bad actress and manages to pull off the role but her character Tracy Di Vicenzo isn't very likable in Rigg's performance, sadly. this does have the best storyline of all the movies with a clinic based on an ice mountain where some pretty girls given the label ' The Angels Of Death' are brainwashed into doing evil things for Blofeld's master plan. this film has a ' From Russia With Love' Rosa Klebb in the character of Irma Bunt. agent Wayne is a pretty cool character idea but dosen't get enough screentime and he isn't very well developed. nor is the whole undercover name ' Sir Hilary Bray' which could have been expanded to make the storyline more complex. but their still are some thrilling moments in the film and toward the end we start to see how great this film is. Bond nearly loses his ' License To Kill' from M{Bernard Lee} if it wasn't for Miss Moneypenny{Lois Maxwell} and the film has genuine soul missing from Bond films like ' Diamonds Are Forever' which although good with some great scenes could have been much better. so all rise for this classic Bond film ' On Her Majesty's Secret Service' it should definately be seen!- Was this review helpful to you?

(29)One of the best Bond films
By a customer , 06 Jan 2013Until the most recent Casino Royale, this was my favourite. The superb chemistry between Rigg and Lazenby makes it superb viewing - also the reason why Royale is just so good. A remake of this film with Daniel Craig has got to be on the cards!- Was this review helpful to you?

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
By lukemcgrath (28 reviews) from Newcastle upon Tyne , 11 Nov 2011Not the best Bond film made, but the greatest movie featuring 007. OHMSS is an epic and intelligent tragedy wrapped in slick franchise tropes.- Was this review helpful to you?

We have all the time in the world
By Bassman71 (617 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 08 Mar 2011Bond gets involved with Italian businessman's daughter, asked to 'sort her out', does in return for Blofeld whereabouts, taken off assignment, put back on it, goes undercover to Blofeld's hideout as Genealogist, fireworks.
George Lazenby's 'stand-in' as 007 and it's easy to see why he didn't last especially when comparing him to Sean Connery. Lazenby is lacking any charisma or even charm although does look the part now and again.
It's quite a muddled plot with it's saving graces being Telly Savalas, the lovely Diana Rigg & John Barry's excellent theme (Great car too).
However most of the action scenes are silly, ridiculous dialogue & some awful racial sterotyping along the way too.- Was this review helpful to you?

Big Fry no Crunchie
By Picturehead (2 reviews) from Stratford-upon-Avon , 06 Sep 2009Within twenty minutes my 20yr old son and I were yawning in complete boredom for something to happen. Nothing of any Bond-like consequence does. Perhaps this is why the producers included some cameo teasers of the previous outstanding Bond films in the opening credits,
Diana Rigg is surprisingly unengaging and George Lazenby (Big Fry) should have stuck to chocolate advertising but look out for an early Joanna Lumley as 'one of the girls' and the Satchmo song is a winner.- Was this review helpful to you?
