So packed with great ingredients - Diana Rigg; the best theme (We Have All The Time) along with Live and Let Die and Goldfinger; so why is it such a dog of a movie? Answer in 2 words - George Lazenby.

Cue poll for best portrayal of 007...

Pierce gets my vote.

Connery for me; but Casino Royale was magnificent (pity about Solace).

Pierce's neat little running with his stiff arms annoyed me.

poor old George Lazenby...why he ever got the role is a mystery.

I've liked most of the Bond actors. I like Roger Moore as he does good 'tongue in cheek' and Piers Brosnan who is pretty cool.

It was also perhaps too long. I think he could have been a good Bond, but they either sacked him or Lazenby backed out of future roles (whoever you believe). The plot and storyline is one of the best of the series IMOHO.

Actually I thought George Lazenby did a good job, but never given a chance by the media. (And Diana Rigg, who decided to eat lots of garlic at meals that happened before any kissing scenes took place!)

Lazenby was meant to be a bastard to work with resulting in him getting the Spanish Archer.

Didn't he get Simon Dee pushed out of LWT (or gave Frostie an excuse to do so)? I read something somewhere about Lazenby going on and reading out some rambling list of everyone he considered implicated in the death of JFK. Something like that.

Yep, George Lazenby had the acting skills of a 7 year old in a nativity. Shame because it should have been a good film. I also think anyone who took over from Connery had a very hard act to follow.

I like Daniel Craig too but found the last film v disappointing. I found the whole story line a bit of a let down. Correct me if I'm wrong but the bad guy's plan for world domination (evil laughter) was, erm, controlling the water supply and charging a lot of money for it. Its a bit limp compared to trying to kill the entire population of the planet, destroy the world gold market or create ww3.

ITV have a hell of a lot to do with Bond being so boring to many people these days. They show washed out, badly edited prints over and over again. I only need to see a glimpse of them to feel ill. I think the only thing that would make me watch another Bond movie would be for someone to go back to Fleming's era and make a version as a period spy thriller. The character has been drained from the drama.

I have seen them all hundreds of times, but I still find myself watching them until my wife says 'No! Not another bloody Bond film' and I dutifully turn over to Antiques Roadshow.
ITV cannot afford to show anything else and they seem to be repeated back to back. At least they now show them in sequence by age.

I agree the new ones do not hold much interest for me - they all seem to have the same HD green/grey tinge to them, similar complex forgettable plots and locations, and utterly forgettable baddies and henchmen.

Bring back Blofeld with his cat and unseen face, Oddjob, Jaws and plots involving underground volcano lairs, monorails, red exploding oil drums, Mini Mokes and yellow jumpsuited soldiers.

Is it wrong to say that this is my favourite Bond movie of all time?

Everything works, even Lazenby, in context to the production.

I liked the Brosnan films, but always felt that these really lively, slick movies and Brosnan's Bond 'taking the piss' seemed to jar with me a great deal. OHMSS is to me the best Bond of all time and I'm not alone in thinking that!!

always wondered what happened to Lazenby. He was married to tennis star Pam Shriver..now getting divorced
