I like how this is the most serious and emotional (pre-Craig) Bond movie and also the one that comes the closest to being Austin Powers
Patrick WillemsDec 20, 201986 "But today is the 13th, commander." "I'm superstitious." A deliberate experience in style and focus that Bond films rarely are. Lazenby's performance and that moody purple glow makes the drama complex and the action lift off its feet, and that's not even mentioning…
SilentDawnJan 26, 2020When I was a kid, this was considered a disaster. Now, a lot of colleagues I respect rank it as the very best Bond. The truth’s somewhere in between. OHMSS is long, the romance always underwhelms me, and Bond’s disguise as a genealogist makes Clark Kent look like Lon…

Of all the Bonds that took up the mantle, Lazenby may be my personal vote for most emblematic of what "Bond" the idea looks like to me. As many others have noted, there is a certain softness to his approach that allows not just for a more nuanced character but story as…
reibureibuJul 27, 2020*any mild inconvenience* Bond: "that's it i'm resigning"
adamboltMar 20, 2015"This never happened to the other fellow." On Her Majesty's Secret Service is something of an anomaly in the Bond franchise. Not only is it George Lazenby's only time at bat as the iconic British secret agent, it also shies away from some of the tropes and general…
ScreeningNotes - Apr 18, 2026
For me, this has always been one of the strongest entries in the series and one that, unfortunately, always gets glossed over. It's certainly the most emotionally resonant film of the series, especially with its depiction of Bond and Tracy's relationship and with the…

🎞️📼Spencer💿📺Nov 7, 2021ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE is a top shelf Bond movie. Beautiful cinematography & setting, it's actually one of the best shot Bond movies. The setpieces are breathtaking, the movie is kinda ahead of it's time in terms of action filmmaking. The theme slaps. Telly Savalas…

Lazenbey deserved so much better than what his agent made him do as he’s a great James Bond. OHMSS is one of the best yet as it has the best action/ ending/ emotion but after the 40 minute mark it dips down in quality to being quite boring until the last 20 Overall 8.8/10 Solid
Edward Kronkvist likedOn Her Majesty's Secret ServiceIt sucked that the recasted Connery with George Lazenby because he didn’t“ feel like a good fit for the character and I believe he just played Bond once before Connery returned in the next film. Apart from that it had a great story and ton of action, overall 5/10.
Jessy Thibeault lovedOn Her Majesty's Secret ServiceSucks George Lazenby rejected appearing in more of these movies. He nails the swagger, the looks and the action all throughout. A darker tale of Bond that would’ve probably launched the best Bond films of all time. One of my persona Bond favorites. 9/10
- Henry likedOn Her Majesty's Secret Service
Flamboyantly different, extravagant outfits and theatrical high paced fight scenes. An interesting Bond film with more emotional weight than before, accompanied by thrilling action sequences towards the end of the movie. Rating H- 7/10 L- 6.5/10
FreshHedgehog lovedOn Her Majesty's Secret ServiceOne of a kind Bond movie that holds up really well - I’ve always like George’s Bond! Remains one of the most faithful Fleming adaptations but still captures the wit and fun of the cinematic Bonds while still packing an emotional punch! (9/10)
Mtrees likedOn Her Majesty's Secret ServiceI’ll lump all the James Bond films up to Casino Royale into one review. I love them all and there’s very few instalments that I don’t enjoy. I hope they keep making them till the day I die, fantastic films! 13/07/2023 (Historical Review)

8.9 wasn’t expecting to be this good because sean was gone for tins one but wow. they went out of the park for this one tracy was such a great character. the fight scenes in the snow were pretty good. and the ending was crazy
Jared S likedOn Her Majesty's Secret ServiceLazenby was great. Enjoyed this film. Continued the grandiosity, less goofy than they could have gone for though. The alps setting is great, and is a classic James Bond setting, and I think because of the vibe of this movie.
Xavier Davis is "meh" onOn Her Majesty's Secret ServiceIn itself this is a great film. but Lazenby was unfortunately just such a bad fit as bond that it brings it down significantly

This is the Bond flick blessed with the best plot, a genuine sense of emotion and a spirit closest to Ian Fleming’s novels.

Empire
The film contains some of the most exhilarating action sequences ever to reach the screen, a touching love story, and a nice subplot that has agent 007 crossing (and even threatening to resign from) Her Majesty's Secret Service. The problem is with Bond himself. Following Sean Connery's departure after You Only Live Twice, the film makers had to come up with a replacement. The man they chose, a model named George Lazenby, is boring, and his ineffectualness lowers the picture's quality.
