Editorial Review:
The film boasts the best of the Bond title songs (this one sung on a dreamy track by Nancy Sinatra), but the movie itself is one of the weaker ones of the Sean Connery phase of the 007 franchise. The story concerns an effort by the evil organization SPECTRE to start a world war, but the not-so-super villain behind the plot is the awfully civilized Donald Pleasence. The thin script is by Roald Dahl (shouldn't we have expected a better Bond nemesis from the creator of mad genius Willy Wonka?), and direction is by British veteran Lewis Gilbert (Alfie). But the movie can't hold a candle to Dr. No, From Russia with Love, or Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh
When an American space capsule is swallowed up by what they believe to be a Russian spaceship World War 3 nearly breaks out. The British Government however suspect that other powers are at work as the space craft went down near Japan. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. is the force behind the theft as James Bond discovers but its motives are far from clear and he must first find out where the captured space capsule is held before America and Russia initiate another world war.System Requirements:Run Time: 117 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 027616074096 Manufacturer No: M107411

Rating:  - This is the BEST BOND EVER!
No doubt about it. This is the quintessiential Bond flick. Why? Because it delivers action packed excitement, torrid romance, a very exotic locale and perhaps the greatest Bond theme song ever. The movie pulls you in and you can't turn it off! For a 1960's film, the effects are really good and the Japanese actors (and actresses!) are believable and sexy. There's plenty of action, what with a great helicopter dogfight, high tech Bond weapons and Ninja warrors. My only criticism is that when ... Read More

It's difficult to believe that this movie is more than 40 years old (counting from the date of this review)!!
(Sir) Sean Connery made six EON (or "official") movies with him starring as James Bond. They were: (1) Dr. No (1962) (2) From Russia with Love (1963) (3) Goldfinger (1964) (4) Thunderball (1965) (5) You Only Live Twice (1967) and (6) Diamonds are Forever (1971).
As you can see from the above list, this movie is the fifth spy film of the British ... Read More
Rating: - Bond in the Orient...
1967's "You Only Live Twice" was Sean Connery's fifth outing as James Bond and his growing disenchantment with the role unfortunately shows through. This movie also marks a decided movement towards increasing implausible story premises and spectacular special effects at the expense of ties to Ian Fleming's original novels.
The movie opens up with a pre-credit sequence in which Bond is apparently assassinated, a nice set-up for the outstanding theme song "You Only Live Twice." The actual ... Read More
Rating: - A Bond Gem with minor flaws
"You Only Live Twice" seems to often go overlooked by many fans. To me it still ranks with the best of the early Connery reign. The films many attributes include outstanding action, spectacular sets and Sean Connery. Yes, Sean Connery (albeit slightly disenchanted with the role) still keeps us immersed in his "serious" approach to Bond. Granted, his disappointment with the producers was a major issue in what may seem, at times, to be an uneven performance but there are other factors to consider as well. ... Read More
