 IGN ranked You Only Live Twice as the fourth best Bond film , and Entertainment Weekly as the second best , considering that it " pushes the series to the outer edge of coolness " . But Norman <unk> of <unk> chose it as the fifth worst , criticising the plot , action scenes and little <unk> for Blofeld . Literary critic Paul Simpson called the film one of the most colourful of the series and credited the prefecture of <unk> for adding " a good flavour " of Japanese influence on the film , but he panned the depiction of Blofeld as a " let @-@ down " , " small , bald and a <unk> scar . " Simon <unk> said that the film is " perfect " for parodies of the series .
