On Her Majesty's Secret Service, probably the most action filled, enthusiastic and well-crafted entry in the entire Bond franchise!
You know what?
Even though "Live And Let Die" is my personal favorite, I think I would tend to agree with you.
If it wasn't for that daft 4th-wall-break at the beginning, though...
LALD????!!!!!!!!

I actually like the remark about the "other fellow"; one of the funnier Bond in-jokes... 
Right!
What's the big deal, Oman?

Oh, I know it's meant as a lighthearted wink and all, but it just makes me sort of groan.

I watched it tonight, and the "other fella" remark, when he looks right at the camera and smiles for a split second before fade-out, reminded me of Christopher Reeve at the end of SUPERMAN. I'm not in favor of it in either case.

How come Zap gets caps but I don't?
I'm afraid I require clarification.
Laziness.
Nothing PERSONAL.

Best Bond is/was Connery. Best Saint is/was Moore.
Moore's Bond films are very entertaining. No one's pretending he has the beefiness required for the role, but then neither did David Niven and that's who Ian Fleming preferred to play the part, so it would seem the author preferred more suavity than brawn. Certainly Niven is closer to Moore to my mind than Connery, and definitely not the thuggish appearance we get from Daniel Craig.

Having just watched OHMSS and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER back to back on TCM, I have to say, Lazenby wasn't fully formed and substantive yet, but very decent. And Connery didn't exactly pour his heart into DAF; he was practically phoning it in.
I think it's ironic that DAF made more money of the two, when OHMSS was by far the better film.

If only Sean did 0007 in OHMSS.
What a classic that would have been.
I have this fantasy where cgi can replace George with Sean.
If only.....
