Charles Aug 31, 2022 Classic Bond film with a great performance from Sean Connery See more Jace E @thefilmguy 4 days ago The one with the volcano lair. How this movie made me feel in one word: Entertained. There are so many Bond films that many of them bleed together. When I think about "You Only Live Twice", there are a few things that stick out: - James becomes... Japanese... - Women die and James just moves on to the next one without remorse. - The volcano lair is legendary. - The first appearance of Blofield's face. - It feels like Austin Powers grabbed a lot from this movie in particular. The action is dated, the racial elements are slightly problematic and the plot is a bit convoluted, but if you just buckle up and enjoy the ride, it's a lot of fun. Best Character: Blofeld Best Quote: "The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It's the last program you're likely to see." - Blofeld Best Scene: Dropping into the volcano Best Piece of Score: "Capsule In Space" Note: The car magnet scene is pretty cool.

The hidden volcano base is the movie’s biggest strength and one of the most iconic sets in the franchise. The rocket, control room, monorail, army of henchmen, and massive final assault push the series into full blockbuster territory. Sean Connery may not seem as engaged as he did in the best earlier entries, but he still brings the cool confidence, dry humor, and physical authority that defined his Bond. The movie around him is bigger than ever, even if his performance has less spark than Dr. No, From Russia with Love, or Goldfinger. The story is more fantasy spectacle than tight spy thriller, with stolen spacecraft and global manipulation replacing grounded espionage. The weakest element is the "Bond becomes Japanese" subplot, which is awkward, unconvincing, and culturally uncomfortable. There is plenty to like, but this is more memorable for its scale than its storytelling.
