Reviewer notes
RecommendedGeorge Lazenby took on the mantle from Sean Connery for this "007" outing and I think he did quite a decent job with this, more convoluted story.…
Not recommendedThis was the worst Bond movie of the early era. It has nothing to do with Lazenby being Bond. It's just that it was written to be just a depressing piece of trash for the Hollywood formula of the late sixties than went into the eighties. There is little scenery, little action, little to see of the bad guys. Bond is pretty much on his own in a "spy movie" instead of a "Bond movie".…
RecommendedOHMSS, the Bond that everyone forgot.... and it's really a shame. It was also made in 1969 and I hate having to press the spoilers button... so the review is going to be hard and... really? It came out in 69, everyone had a chance to see it already... but whatever. Lazenby, had he continued, could have carried on the Connery Era Bond into the 70s.…
Recommended**Despite receiving disappointing reviews, OHMSS takes the franchise into new territory and is essential viewing for any true Bond fan.** On Her Majesty’s Secret Service doesn’t tend to get the same love as many of the older Bond films, and that’s a shame because it boasts some significant firsts for the Bond franchise, some striking set pieces, and bold choices.…
Recommended_**George Lazenby plays James Bond in the Swiss Alps**_ Agent 007 falls for a mob boss's daughter (Diana Rigg) and investigates a Swiss mountain-top lair where Blofeld (Telly Savalas) schemes to brainwash an assortment of women from around the world for his nefarious purposes. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969) was the sixth James Bond film and the first without Sean Connery in the starring role.…
RecommendedDecent enough entry, a little slow at times and while some effects weren't bad for its time, others were a bit iffy (not to mention some shoddy editing a time or two). I did like George Lazenby in the role (and at certain angles, kind of did look like Connery), as he did have some charm (although his quips didn't quite work for me), just a shame this was a one and done for him.…
RecommendedEven if we have all the time in the world, the world is not enough. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is directed by Peter Hunt and adapted to screenplay by Richard Maibaum from the novel written by Ian Fleming. It stars George Lazenby, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas, Ilse Steppat, Yuri Borienko and Gabriele Ferzetti. Music is by John Barry and cinematography by Michael Reed.…
Not recommendedTrusted family reviewersIt’s good if you want to watch the same movie as previous Bonds. So my plan is to watch the Bond movies in order from the first Bond movie to the last bond. I'm currently on “On Her Majesty's Secret Service”. One of the main things I noticed from Her Majesty's Secret Service is the fact that the new Bond doesn't seem to be as sexually assaulting as the previous bond ( Sean Connery).…
RecommendedTrusted family reviewersOk, Before you say this is the worst of the Bond Films, just remember, The Aussie James Bond, "George Lazenby" was slated to do 7 Films, So we would have had alot more George except for the fact that the Producers of the 007 Films basically wanted him to live entirely their way for the next 10 or so years.…
