Fabric Type: 9786304698815 Legal Disclaimer: 0792837509 Maximum Focal Length: Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential video: Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying U.S. rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula Andress. She gloriously kicks off the long-standing tradition of Bond women who know how to please their favorite secret agent. A sexist anachronism? Maybe, but this is Bond at his purest, kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing down. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - The OriginalIf this movie was just the scene of bikini-clad Ursula Andress emerging from the ocean, knife at her side, singing about the mango tree and the remaining 2 hours being a blank screen, it would still be worth the price. Absolutely the most gorgeous shot of a woman in any movie ever. The rest of the movie ain't bad, but that moment is truly iconic! Rating: - We Begin With The Bond Movie Unlike Any OtherAlright, I'm gonna attempt to do a review on the James Bond 007 movies, all 23 of them. Right off the bat, I think "Never Say Never Again" is good enough to be reviewed, even though it's considered an unofficial entry (gotta wait for Review #14 for that one). Hopefully, I can keep these brief but interesting. I love this series, even when it missteps. Forgive me if I gloss over the history of how the 007 stories were acquired and produced by United Artists' Albert Broccoli ...

Thankfully not his last. Well worth watching. Rating: - One of the best...Dr. No has elements none of the other Bonds have. Aside from being the first 007 adventure, it is more like a old fashioned spy story than a "Bond film", and it shares being one of the best along side From Russia With Love. The film stays the course it sets out to do in that Bond is really a detective in this one, sluething and walking around as if no one can come close to him. The scenes in the hotel quite clearly are the establishing scenes that this is a man to be reckoned with, a spy who does his ...

The Blu Ray version of this film is absolutely stunning and spectacular. Viewing it on your HDTV will make you feel like you are on actually on the set while the filming is taking place. The scenes filmed outside are gorgeous and filled with deep, rich natural colors...unbelievable....and what can I say about the infamous Honey Ryder beach scene? My jaw was on the floor and I felt as if I was on the beach with ... Read More Dr. No (THX Edition) Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
