Review of James Bond Ultimate Sean Connery - Dr.No/From Russia With Love/Goldfinger/Thunderball/You Only Live Twice/Diamonds Are Forever (Box Set) (DVD)

God this is rubbish!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Awful adaptation of a classic Alan Moore Comic book

I will begin the review with brutal honesty, if this film were a bird it would be a massively expensive wrapped turkey, if it were a football team it would be Newcastle United (no offence to Toon fans) and if it were a comic book it would be a million times better than this....oh it was!! The League of Extraordinary Gentleman is based on Alan Moore's brilliantly imaginative graphic novel of the same name, the premise of the film should lend itself ...
...an alternate universe, the Fantom is trying to start a World War by manipulating World powers into believing others are plotting and acting against them causing an air of fear and oppression, led by the heroic Alan Quatermain a team of literary hero's of the era must stop the Fantom and save the world, putting aside their own rivalries and idiocyncracies in the process. The film follows Alan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Mina Harker, The Invisible Man, ...

Bay meets Bond on Alcatraz

Advantages: Connery, Cage, San Francisco
Disadvantages: The beginning of Girlfriend watching from the sidelines syndrome.

THE PLOT San Francisco. The present. When a ex-army General (Ed Harris) captures the Alatraz prison and threatens to attack all of San Francisco, Stanley Goodspeed (Nicholas Cage) a chemical weapons scientist is forced to team up with the only man ever to escape Alcatraz, John Mason (Sean Connery), convict and ex SAS soldier to thwart his evil scheme. REVIEW The Rock was movie script that had been kicking around Hollywood for a number of years before ...
...movie before his death in the same year. It's has all the elements of a standard Michael Bay movie it's loud, it's crammed with lots of filter shots and has editing so fast it could outpace a leopard. It also has other elements of his style the use of improvising actors with the example being Nic Cage use of music references and the coolest meet cute scene of the two main actors. This scene is called the coffee scene in my house and is the funniest ...

Golden, Golden, Golden Bond

Advantages: 3 Great Films
Disadvantages: Rather expensive RRP on them in comparsion

Golden, Golden, Golden. Undoubtedly 3 of the best Bonds. First of all theres Goldfinger featuring evil arch villain (you guessed it) Goldfinger, has a strange obsession of murdering people by covering them in solid gold paint. Will Goldfinger succeed in his attempt to rob Fort Knox, surely not, but hey, it's Bond... anything can happen. The Second Golden film, this time, is the Man With the Golden Gun. Here new Bond Roger Moore, takes on new villain ...
...uses a Golden Gun. So when Bond receives a bullet with his name on from him, things start to get a bit heated. Will Scaramanga succeed in assassinating Bond, or will he be made to bite the "bullet". The third Golden Bond is Golden Eye, this sees yet another new Bond, Pierce Brosnan, star in his debut film. Things look bad for Bond when his best friend 006 appears to be assassinated. After a massive electromagnetic pulse, is set off, Bind goes in ...

Connery Returns as OO7 For The Final Time

Advantages: Connery is back!
Disadvantages: Its a remake of Thunderball.

...Octopussy with Roger Moore and Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery. I went twice to see Bond! The media labelled it as the Battle of the Bonds and this meant straight away that there was going to be a winner and loser, with Connery's entry being the unofficial rival meant that the odds were very much stacked against him. With Albert R Broccoli still producing the official franchise with Moore in the lead as 007, it came as some surprise that ...
...rival because Never Say Never Again was not produced by EON at all as it was based on a script written by Kevin McClory, who at the time of writing the script for Thunderball in 1965 obtained the rights to that film. It was from these rights that Never Say Never Again was made by Orion Pictures. So at 54 years old, Connery returns to the role of 007, looking far healthier and fitter than he did some 12 years earlier in 1971 for Diamonds Are Forever. ...
