Alright. Now here's my review for the 5th bond movie and the second to last one with Sean Connery; You Only Live Twice.
Plot: An American spacecraft is hijacked by a mysterious spacecraft, leaving the American to automatically believe that the Soviets did it. But the British believe that someone else completely did it and so send James Bond to Japan to discover who is really behind the hijack.
This is another just decent Bond flick. One one hand it has good action, Connery being Bond just the way we like him, and it had a pretty good climax. But the problem is that the film is a little too long and the story does turn out to be a little confusing. I say confusing because when it comes to thinking about what happens to the spacecraft and why, I don't think they actually really explain why the antagonists in this particular film are doing it. There is also a scene where Bond is flying an autogyro called The Little Nellie and fights a couple of enemy helicopters that did kind of have a purpose but at the same time I felt was a little out of place and was kind of there just to have an autogyro/helicopter battle. Also there's a moment during the very end of the film that has a big reveal about the central villain that was something of a let down for some people which while I kind of liked it, I think I can see why.
And that's my review for You Only Live Twice. It has its issues at being a little too long and being a bit of a mess or a let down at some points, but still manages to be a decent enjoyable film with its climax, action and Connery...well...being Bond.
