Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Bryan Bjerke Watched this late at night expecting fully to fall asleep halfway through. Well that didn't happen. Ended up watching the whole thing! The re-enactments of his story was very well done and had the perfect touch of comedy to it that made it hilarious. It wasn't over the top hilarious, but just enough to keep you interested in the story. His life was also rather interesting to hear about. There were so many things that I never knew about him. This exceeded my expectations and so therefore, I'm giving it a 10. One of the most entertaining Biography's I have seen. This is a must see for any James Bond fan.

donaldgilbert On this particular night, I needed some captivating yet uncomplicated entertainment when I chose to give this a try, and this film did not disappoint; however, it didn't really exceed my expectations either. Lazenby comes off as a charming and humorous storyteller, and we are drawn to his narrative. The decision was made to use reenactments to accompany his stories, which made sense for a film; and then the second half of the film also adds film footage from his career on TV and movies. My complaint ultimately comes down to the quality of the reenactments. Already, it's difficult for me to pair today's Lazenby (narrator) with the 1960s TV/movie start Lazenby, but add to that the interpretation of Lazenby by an actor who neither resembles him physically or behaviorally, and I came away feeling like I really still don't know the man that well. The creative decisions behind the reenactments, the way they were casted and filmed, what the directors chose to highlight, left me with a superficial impression of the man, and a satirical idea of the making of the Bond film. Ultimately, it works more as light silly entertainment than a documentary.

aussydog I did not know about Mr. Lazenby's background (as a model and non-actor), so I'm even more surprised at the great job he did performing as James Bond. He had a smooth delivery and looked right at ease in the role. I never understood why he didn't star in another James Bond movie until this film. It was great listening to his life story, and I'm glad he did well after the Bond role. It's too bad he was black-listed after the Bond movie 'cause he had a great screen presence. Wonderful person and full of life - thoroughly enjoyed "Becoming Bond."

CuriousCase007 With the myriad of stories floating around about Lazenby's decision to quit Bond, this appears to be the truthful version - reinforced because of Lazenby's truthful and genuine telling of his story. His reflection on the Bond days in both rare interview footage from the time, coupled with the reflection of his love for Belinda, rings true. The only downside? Aside from Jane Seymour's casting, the rest of the ensemble during the re- enactments are woeful. Lawson proves he isn't cut out for biopics (again, mind) and Clementi extends her soap opera acting here, disallowing the audience to buy into their relationship. The actor playing Saltzman created a cartoonish depiction of the producer; the portrayal of Hunt was less intrusive, but not necessarily good. Negativity aside, it was excellent to see clips of the Bond films and interviews interwoven, as well an excellent score underpinning the visual content (with a welcome appearance of the Bond theme). Informative and honest, funny and warm. But a little disappointed by some of the acting.
