On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969): A Review

Hello, this is On Her Majesty's Secret Service a review. I'm going to make this review just as long as movie was. Yes, it was long. This movie like the others had an action filled beginning. It took about 20 minutes for me to get used to George Lazenby, but I still liked it. He pretty much gets captured in a clinic in the Swiss alps, and a winter sports theme comes into play. You see curling, ice skating, skiing, and even a bobsled fight. This movie has lots of action but no killing until about halfway in the movie. This movie has a psychedelic twist as well with weird voice overs. This is also the last in the Blofeld trilogy. So some people might say it's horrible, but I think it was very good. I think it had the right kill/make out ratio.

SPOILER ALERT DON'T READ UNLESS YOU CAN TAKE A SPOILER
He gets married but his wife dies.

Action Stats:
Bond killed 4 people.
He made out 4 times.
There were 5 explosions( all in finale fight.)
There was one car chase.
There was one ski chase.
There was one bobsled chase.
There was one Telly Savalas ( playing Blofield, not Donald Pleasance)

  3. I think this one was actually made for television, which might be why it had George Lazenby and Telly Savalas... I haven't seen it all the way through since the late 7o's, but i remember digging it.
