Surprisingly Interesting and Entertaining! - Becoming Bond review by EJ
This is a gem - wasn’t too sure at first, but it soon became irresistible watching. I’ve always thought George Lazenby’s Bond to be the best portrayal of this character and the film script and acting one of quality. The negative rumours why George Lazenby wasn’t cast again are put to rest in this. It is a shame he chose not to continue, but kind of understandable when you get to hear him tell all. Watch and enjoy; adults only though!

Engrossing and Funny - Becoming Bond review by Spider
An entertaining filmed autobiography, done in a unique way. Lazenby doesn’t take himself too seriously and there are a few real belly laughs.

An outrageous - but true - story - Becoming Bond review by IanF
I much enjoyed this film - much more than I expected. At the time he was Bond there were rumours, its good to get the unbelievable truth after all these years.
