Lazenby's performance as James Bond is controversial. Most viewers appreciate his athletic prowess in the part, especially in action scenes, but many have been dismissive - even hostile - toward his interpretation of Bond. Moreover, viewers tend either to find Lazenby's laconic style cold-blooded, at times callow and humorless, or else perfectly appropriate to the character of a determined and superficially charming spy. Certainly, Lazenby's Bond is a man less amused by life than that of Connery, less accessible, stoic and resigned. The film's producers, perhaps mistrusting Lazenby's ability to carry the picture, took the unusual step of overdubbing Lazenby's voice with that of George Baker in major scenes in which Bond impersonated Baker's character. The technique had never been used in a Bond film for a leading actor whose first language was English. It was rumoured that Lazenby had been 'difficult to work with'.[citation needed] Lazenby subsequently admitted that he had neither the maturity nor the experience to completely understand the studio system.[citation needed] According to an interview with Lazenby, the difficulties were due to director Peter R. Hunt refusing to talk directly to Lazenby, who was too brusque in passing on a request that Hunt's friends clear a set before filming[1]. Allegedly, there also were personality conflicts with leading lady Diana Rigg, who already was an established star. However, according to director Hunt, these rumours are untrue and there were no such difficulties - or else they were minor - and that he would have agreed to direct Diamonds Are Forever if Lazenby had accepted the contract.

The new bond movie doesn't come out until the 19th, but I think it's going to be a great movie. I definitely think they could have chosen a better Bond than Daniel Craig, and I think he will make the movie feel less like a Bond film, but it's still going to be great.

British actor Sean Connery was the first James Bond.\n\nHe did a total of six movies as James Bond :: Dr. No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971).\n\nSome say that he is the best bond of all and I totally agree with this statement.

I must concur with your assessment.\n\nDaniel Craig is not Bond material.\n\nI was thinking more along the lines of Clive Owen :)

The Ian Fleming novels (and movies) are in blocks, based on the rivals that Bond faces.  I've been snooping around Wikipedia...\nFirst watch the new (and old) Casino Royale ,really the 1st in the novel series...  \nIt seems that Thunderball and Never Say Never Again are the based on the same storyline from the novel Thunderball; you can watch those two intercangeably. \nLive and Let Die is next (also 2nd in novel series), followed by For Your Eyes Only and License to Kill, due to common plot elements.\nFollow this w/ Moonraker, Dr. No,  Diamonds Are Forever, and  Goldfinger (in no particular order).\nWatch The Spy Who Loved Me, On Her Magesty's Secret Service and From Russia with Love, and You Only Live Twice in order next.\nOctopussy and The Living Daylights go together, as they are also based on a common "enemy".\nThe Man With the Golden Gun is on a tangent all its own.  \nAll of the later films (excepting the new Casino Royale) are of separate writers, and may be watched together as a block, in no particular order...

there were also the two other actors who portrayed bond in the previous 'casino royals'...  david niven, and the american TV version (first bond film...  the actor's name escaped me at the moment)... so, american actor, connery, lazenby, niven, moore, dalton, brosnan, craig\noh, and to respond to the previous answer, you cant count sellers unless you also count woody allen and others, because in the other casino royale, niven has about 7 others pretend to be bond...\nupdate... the american was barry nelson {i cheated and looked it up :) }

I liked it, but it is missing something that the other Bond movies had.  Definitly worth the ticket price and it was very good, but there was just something missing.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service.\n\nOn Her Majesty's Secret Service is the eleventh novel in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. First published by Jonathan Cape on April 1, 1963, it is the first novel to be written after the start of the official film series by EON Productions.\n\nOn Her Majesty's Secret Service is considered the second book in what is known as the "Blofeld trilogy", which resumes from Thunderball after the interlude novel The Spy Who Loved Me, and concludes with You Only Live Twice.\n\nIn 1969 it was adapted as the sixth film in the EON Productions James Bond series and was the first and only film to star George Lazenby as British Secret Service agent Commander James Bond.\n\nWhilst on leave, British agent James Bond prevents a young woman, Tracy Draco, from committing suicide. Her father is the head of a powerful crime syndicate who is impressed by Bond and wants him to protect his daughter by marrying her. In exchange he offers Bond information which will lead 007 to his arch enemy Ernst Blofeld. At first Bond agrees to the deal purely to fulfil his objective to kill Blofeld but later he grows to love Tracy but when the British learn that Blofeld plans to destroy mankind with a deadly virus, 007 is torn between his loyalty to his county and his intent to marry Tracy.\n\nGeorge Robert Lazenby (born September 5, 1939 in Queanbeyan, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian actor best known for portraying James Bond in the 1969 James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service.\n\nAlthough he had previously worked in TV advertising and an Italian B-movie spy movie, Lazenby's first serious acting role was as James Bond in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). Lazenby is the second official actor to portray the British secret agent, following Sean Connery, who had become a cultural icon in the role. Lazenby had a difficult task in filling these shoes, and nearly everything about his portrayal of Bond has been controversial. The film's producers, perhaps mistrusting Lazenby's ability to carry the picture, took the unusual step of overdubbing Lazenby's voice with that of George Baker in major scenes in which Bond impersonated Baker's character. \n\nCritical response to On Her Majesty's Secret Service remains sharply divided as well, affecting estimates of Lazenby's potential as James Bond. It follows the plot of the novel more closely than did the other film adaptations of the eponymous source novels, including serious dramatic subject matter pivotal to the development of Bond's character: Bond's contemplated resignation from MI6; his comically botched impersonation of a sexually ascetic genealogist at a mountaintop allergies clinic for beautiful young women; and his brief, tragic marriage to Tracy Draco, the daughter of a Corsican crime syndicate leader.\n\nJames Bond George Lazenby \nDirected by Peter R. Hunt \nWritten by Ian Fleming \nScreenplay Richard Maibaum \nMusic by John Barry \nMain theme   \nComposer John Barry \nPerformer John Barry Orchestra \nDistributed by United Artists \nReleased December 18, 1969 \nRunning time 140 min. \nBudget $7,000,000 \nWorldwide gross $87,400,000 \nAdmissions (world) 62.4 million \nPreceded by You Only Live Twice \nFollowed by Diamonds Are Forever

I'd definitely watch Robbie as James Bond.  I love the cd booklet for "I've been expecting you"; it's very Bond-esque and the cd would make a good soundtrack. I guess though it's up to the producers rather than fans...
