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: - A Bond classic brought back to life (Blu-ray edition)There have been innumerable efforts to imitate what this first, genre-defining, Bond film achieved, only an handful of which do near as well. Dr. No deserves credit for establishing everything that constitutes a Bond film, without any of the emphasis on gadgets and dumb fantasy seen in many of the later entries in the franchise. Sean Connery's portrayal here also comes closer to Ian Fleming's character than anything that followed. This blu-ray edition is a fully restored, based upon a super hi-res ...

A lot of the scenes were filmed at night which is unusual for just about every movie I have seen. This is important to the series I think. It establishes that cool calm and collected image wrapped up inside a man capable of so much. Its not that this was the first film in the series and deserves credit for birthing it, its that Connery's characterization ... Read More Rating: - Dr NoThis product is defective.
