Sum up You Only Live Twice in 007 words or less. Feel free to add in as many 007 Words Or Less reviews as you wish.

Examples:
Gadgets Take Over Bond
Connery seems tired
Far Out, Connery's Best Film

Sean Connery has gotten bored with Bond.
John Barry soundtrack, one of the best!

Silly spy-craze sixties is defined
like a live-action " The Man Called Flintstone"
as Bond becomes self-parody.

Oops more than 7 words. This is my haiku...

Where did they put all the dirt?

Still waiting for Tiger Tanaka movie franchise.

Often lazy screenplay makes Bond look stupid.

Roald Dahl should stick to children's books.

I like YOLT over TB.

YOLT is fantastic, featuring the great Donald Pleasence in the greatest screen potrayal of Blofeld.

001) This is the big one 007.

002) Bond meets Blofeld, prevents World War III.

003) Bond goes to Japan, infiltrates Blofeld's volcano.

004) Japan, piranha, volcano, spaceship abduction, Little Nellie.

005) Bond lives, Bond dies, Bond lives again.

006) Tiger, Henderson, Kissy, Aki, Helga, Hans, Blofeld.

007) Connery's last...well, next to last...well...

Connery looks bored
Fantastic score, song, and set design
Not near as good as book
Having seen Dr. Evil, Pleasance is embarrassing
Dahl wasn't creative; stuck to formula rigidly
Bloated, over-the-top, but still fun
Should have been made after OHMSS
Tanaka, Henderson are more memorable in book
