The Complete James Bond, 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy...'

Advantages: Good collection of films, iconic characters, stylish presentation
Disadvantages: Out-dated in its collection

THE JAMES BOND COMPLETE COLLECTION I brought this a while back and I must say it is excellent. The presentation is top-notch, the silver briefcase just about the coolest DVD container in the world. It chronicles every film from Sean Connery's 'Dr. No' to the more recent Pierce Brosnan outing 'Die Another Day'. Of course it does not hold the newest additions, Daniel Craig's 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace' but as these are generally new in ...
...watch, if not always for the story then definitely for the generational features. Think Roger more in his 70s safari suit, Sean Connery in his trilby. And then of course you have the women. The big downside to this box set, of course, is that there's always going to be more James Bond films. It may not be in date for very long. Also the price is fairly steep, yet is falling due to the release of newer additions. Despite this, in my opinion you ...

Review of The James Bond Complete Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Is that case a killer or is it just a case

Advantages: Wow, more than a smashing case
Disadvantages: I already own some of these films!!

...Pierce Brosnan Like many Bond fans I already owned many of the films included in the case and so had to think twice about upgrading my Special Edition Bond collection to the Ultimate Edition. The age of some of the films meant that some of the DVDs I had were of poor quality the Ultimate edition features newly restored picture and soundtrack on each film and is easily worth the £200+ fee alone. In the titles (paricularly the earlier entries). Colours ...
...daniel craigs attempt to be bond later this year, so another case next year??? I suppose what it comes down to is three questions 1. how much you love bond 2. Is it worth upgrading for the sake of better graphics (taking into account the price) 3. Can I fit the case next to my DVD player!! ...

Review of Bond Attache Case (Box Set) (DVD)

Ultimate Bond films

Advantages: Fantastic films
Disadvantages: Somewhere to store it

The James Bond Collection is one of the best DVD box sets ever to be published. It is the ultimate dedicate to Ian Fleming's and of course his most famous character, James Bond. Also you get a very interesting bonus disc, containing the following: original documentaries, Behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, theatrical trailers and interactive menus concerning all the movies, as well as meet the cast, theatrical trailer, and teaser trailer, ...
...Nightfire game trailer, which is the latest video game concerning the original movies! This is a must-have for every James Bond fan. Buy it; it's well worth it! I got this at half price about a year ago for Christmas. To be honest it has it good films and not so good films. I'm a Sean Connery fan so I like most of his films. Actors: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan Directors: Terence Young, Guy Hamilton, ...

Review of The James Bond Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
