I recently viewed OHMSS last night for the first time, and after viewing most of the other 007 movies within a week, I feel like I can adequately judge this movie.
LETS GET THIS OUT OF THE WAY-- 8/10
Okay, now we can begin.
THE GOOD POINTS: A great musical score. Lazenby plays Bond in a style that rivals Connery. Strong emotional content not seen in any other Bond film. Great chase scenes.
THE BAD POINTS: The action is sped up at times, and this spoils the feel. The dubbing is poor at times, and lines frequently cut each other or the music off. A little longish at times.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Lazenby succeeds at playing James Bond admirably, but he is by no means THE James Bond. The faults of the middle part of the movie are offset by the spectacular ending that is heartbreaking. See this Bond. It's one of the better ones, but not the best.
