Not My Favourite Bond Film, But Not My Least Favourite
15 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
It seems with this film there is a mixed bag. No this film did n't bomb like many people believe it did but it seems that a few years ago people would answer straight away "OHMSS" if asked what their least favourite Bond film was. Now it seems people are seeming to like it for it being closer to the book than any other Bond movie has, and in my opinion I am a bit mixed.

There are many recognizable jokes about the recasting of Bond in this movie that if you pay attention to are really funny (Except for the montage one which was boring and pointless) and those sort of jokes they felt were important so people got used to the new Bond.

As for the acting of Bond in this movie, George Lanzenby certainly is NO Sean Connery, to be honest I don't know why they would have casted him, an Australian model who had little to no acting experience and they decided he would be the best Bond, but despite these setbacks I must admit he does a good job although I do prefer the other Bonds over him.

The Bond girl in this has a lucky award, she is the first Bond girl Bond has ever decided to marry, and the sad ending in this is the first of only two films where he has fallen in love and lost all within a matter of seconds.

As for the film compared to the others before it, On Her Majestys Secret Service I fell can not be deemed better or worse, it is better in some ways with the different feel to bond, and worse in some ways as in Lazenby and the montage scene at the end.

Overall, Lazenby is alright by this is definitely not my favorite Bond film. I rate it 63%.
