Dr No

Advantages: Great Storyline, Great Musical Score, Fantastic Actors, Great Special Effects
Disadvantages: Being an older film, it hasn't got the best picture quality

Dr No is the first film in the massive James Bond series. It stars Sean Connery as the famous British agent, starring alongside Ursula Andress. When in Jamacia investigating various mishaps, Bond stumbles upon a plot to take over the world spearheaded by the manical Doctor Julious No. His investigations into this plot takes him to Crab Key Island, where he finds Doctor No's secret base and attempts to stop the threat once and for all... Dr No also ...
...next few movies of the series. SPECTRE is an enjoyable prospect alone, as the newer Bond films have no sense of continuity, whilst the originals felt more like a series that continued from the preceding film. The movie is very enjoyable, and showcases what a great actor Sean Connery is. The fear he shows through his face in the tarantula scene and the proffesionalism he gives Bond makes him one of the better actors to play the famous agent. His ...

Review of Dr. No (DVD)

Best James Bond Movie

Advantages: Sean Connery, Outstanding perfomances, Good story.
Disadvantages: One bad perfomance.

From Russia with Love is one of the greatest movie of Sean Connery aka James Bond. Brilliant perfomance by Sean Connery. This movie is great because every character in this movie is strong that means perfomance by every individual is superb with an exception of Rosa Klebb(movie cast) coz her performance wasn't that good compared to others. James bond travels through Russia and resolves his case with his cool attitude, perfect style and attire. And ...

Thunderous Balls!

Advantages: Great Bond film
Disadvantages: Behind the scenes tension apparent in the film

...performances. My Opinion Thunderball was originally the film that Bond producer Cubby Broccoli wanted to film first. The team were not so interested in going in chronological order as they already did not have the rights to the very first of Ian Fleming's Bond books, Casino Royale. I am personally glad that they have gone with the option of chronology with the Bond films, because it means that each film learns from the last, and I am not sure if ...
...had Bond not already made a 3-film impact. As it is, there is tension in the film that does not seem due to the plot itself, and is maybe a measure of the ongoing rights dispute to the story, with Ian Fleming and writers Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham contesting who actually conceived the idea. In the heart of the Cold War, tensions running high regarding nuclear and ballistic missiles mean that this film was very topical at the time, and Young ...

Review of Thunderball (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

Look out for Big Red!!

Advantages: Solid Bond film
Disadvantages: Not as good as Dr No

...the second James Bond film from EON productions. The first, Dr No, launched Sean Connery onto the international screen, and brought us the charismatic British agent James Bond. The Plot Crime organisation S.P.E.C.T.R.E. has created a device that will decode Russian secrets and upset the world order. Secret agent James Bond 007 is sent to Istanbul to retrieve the device. He has to overcome S.P.E.C.T.R.E.'s agents first of all, though, including ...
...rated Dr No higher than From Russia With Love. The direction and plot are okay, but I think Young did a better job in Dr No. The scenery is once again breathtaking, and the special effects, while limited and dated, are impressive. Perhaps it was the tale itself that I was not as enamoured with, but I was not hugely impressed by this Bond film. Conclusion A good film, but not great. The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk for £5.98. This review ...
