A great improvement on the dreary Thunderball

Explosive, expansive, expensive, extravagant, extraodinary, extra-special

I have just watched You Only Live Twice, and noticed that Connery performance is a lot different from his first three Bond films.

I guess that he had worn a wig in Thunderball due to his changness in hair style.

Over all I think it is a good Bond film. The only down side is that there was no development in Aki and Bond's relationship. That could have been worked on a lot more. It would have been interesting to watch the first choice who was to play Blofeld before he became ill.

And how did Blofeld escape the volcanoe??

Great main title sequence,the rest rubbish.


I thought the title seqeunce was very familar to DAD. They used real life footage in the background whilst having sillohettes and the titles in front.

The most underrated and undervalued Bond film.
