    The fight choreography editing in this film is ahead of its time.

    I have no issue with GL breaking the fourth wall.

    This film is astonishing on my 4K TV upscaled, I always say it though the 4K remaster will be mind blowing.

    I love the casino reflection in the pool as day turns to night.

    GL is a great Bond, his strength is often his subtle body language in certain scenes.

    GL does project confidence and intensity which works well for Bond.

    GL is convincing as a fighter, he always looks tougher than his opposition.

    Some of the decor in this hotel is hideous though the way it is shot it looks good a tough thing to pull off.

    Early on you get the sense Bond relates to Tracy and cares for her.

    GL looks like he is ready to fight at any given moment.

    Hunt through out this film uses auditory tricks to great effect to enhance the viewing experience, i.e the fight scene amongst the safes prior to meeting Draco.

    I have noticed some don't like the Draco scene , I love how abrupt and off kilter the scene becomes, it really adds to the uniqueness of the film.

    Draco's relationship with Tracy's mother really set the tone for the rest of the film.

    M's office looks amazing, I like the dynamic between Lee and GL.

    He clearly did not have the same acting experience as any of the other Bonds and basically read like a toddler in floaties who got transferred into an Olympic pool alongside Michael Phelps in his first scene with Gabriele Ferzetti (might chalk that one up to Hunt for not recognizing and doing something about the clear imbalance), but Lazenby did have a great physicality and somehow exuded an unfathomable confidence in most every other shot. It was as if he had never even heard the name Sean Connery before. I think mustering and exhibiting such confidence throughout truly was Lazenby's greatest achievement and his saving grace in the part.

    Totally agree he had a self confidence that carried him through the entire process and the film benefited from greatly.

    I am not overly keen on a montage scene in a Bond film though when arguably one of the greatest songs ever written is playing over it I can't complain.

    The Gumbold set piece is awesome, great build of tension.

    I love how relaxed GL is as the safe is being cracked, almost bored as he places is watch on the table. Great subtle touches here.

    I like how the scene shifts from Bond being aloof and disinterested in his mission to Draco questioning Tracy of whether Bond loves her, great narrative building.

    Love the sound of the Bells ringing I lived close to the York Minster for a period of time.

    In Switzerland often scenes are slightly off and disconcerting which is highly effective. The 'We know how Christmas Tree's are grown' is a highly effective theme to create a false sense of joy when the theme is slightly eerie.
