Summary: A Fine James Bond Gift Set. Almost As Good As Volume 1.
Review: James Bond 007 Collection Volume 1 was a great boxed set of different Bonds (4 different Bonds, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan) and make for some great entertainment. That boxed set contained 7 films (Goldfinger, Thunderball, Live And Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, Licence To Kill, Goldeneye, Tommorow Never Dies). The weakest thing about this set is that it only contains 5 Bond films. But, they're 5 very good Bond films. The first film in the set is also the first film of the whole series, Dr. No, directed by Terence Young and starring Sean Connery as 007. In this film Bond travels to Jamaica to find out why Commander Strangways has dissapeared. He meets three woman during this time. One of them is Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson), who has the honor of being the first girl to be seduced by Bond. The second is Miss. Taro (Zena Marshall). And, of course, the last (but NOT least) is Honey Ryder (Ursala Andress). Bond must confront evil Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman), who has steel claws for hands. Dr. No is an exciting entry, it's really good when you think of how much the movie started. If this movie hadn't been made, would we be lining up to see Pierce Brosnan in "The World Is Not Enough? No, we wouldn't. This is one trill ride that I recommend to anyone. The next film in the set is the highley underrated On Her Majesty's Secret Service, directed by Peter Hunt and starring one-timer George Lazenby. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (OHMSS) sends Bond to Switzerland to track down Blofeld (Telly Savalas), who he encountered in the last picture, You Only Live Twice. Bond encounters beautiful, disturbed yound girl Tracy (Diana Rigg), and the audience is goin to get a big surprise at the end of this one! OHMSS is so good. It's certainly the most romantic of all the Bond films, and George Lazenby does so much better than people say. Sure, he's no Sean Connery, but he's very good. Then comes The Man With The Golden Gun, directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Roger Moore. Bond's sent to find Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), who he beleives is trying to kill him, because he sent him a golden bullet with his name on it. Bond encounters two sexy woman, Andrea Anders (Maud Adams, who would return to play the title character in Octopussy) and Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland). Bond's up against a powerful oponent with Scaramanga, who's golden gun kills with one shot. The Man With The Golden Gun is a good, silly entry. While it's not Shakespeare, it's good entertainment. The Spy Who Loved Me comes next with this set. It's directed by Lewis Gilbert and stars Roger Moore. In this, Bond is up against Jaws (Richard Kiel), a giant with metal teeth. Unfortunatly, Jaws overpowers our main villian, Karl Stromberg (Curt Jergens), who's pretty darn dull. But, The Spy Who Loved Me is good. Now, the last one is Moonraker, directed by Lewis Gilbert and starring Roger Moore. This is a very controversial entry, because it sends Bond off to space, but I love it. Sure, it's not really right for Bond to be shooting lasers at the bad guys or flying space shuttles, but if you know it's coming at you, you'll have a great time. It also gives Jaws a love interest, which is a little ridiculous, but funny. Moonraker's a great rainy day movie. Now, there's a space in the box reserved for The World Is Not Enough, directed by Michael Apted and starring Pierce Brosnan. This entry's a silly, overcomplicated mess of a movie. For one thing, it makes M a victom! M is powerful! She would not be taken prisoner. And, Brosnan's really dumb as Bond. As with his previous two entrys, you never feel he's in any real danger. He's invincible. Of course, I got The World Is Not Enough and put it in the box, but that's because I'm a die hard Bond fan, and I want all the movies. The movies are all presented in great DVDs. The picture and sound (Mono? Who cares?) is great. Considering Dr. No dates back to 1962, the picture gets a 5 from me. The films all look sharp, and clean. The feature's will keep any fan happy. Each film comes with a documentary, as well as another documentary about other things (for instance, on Moonraker, there's a documentary about the special effects of the series). You've also got trailers, commentaries, still galleries, as well as intersting collectible booklets. The films are also presented in their correct widescreen format. All in all, this box set is almost equal to the first, but if you wait for a few weeks, a boxed set containing all 20 films will be released in a tin case! My rating of each movie is as follows..... Dr. No gets (out of ****) ****. On Her Majesty's Secret Service gets ***1/2. The Man With The Golden Gun gets ***. The Spy Who Loved Me gets ***. Moonraker gets ***1/2. The World Is Not Enough gets **. If you found my reveiw helpful, please vote for me.

Summary: The most unpredictable selection
Review: I rated this 5 stars because I like 007=. This set is unpredictable because it has Dr.no, the 1st movie of the entire series, & it has 3 in a row, The Man with the golden gun, The Spy who loved me, & Moonraker. It also has an additional DVD space for The world is not enough(not included). The best movie in the entire series is The Man with the golden gun. The best DVD in the entire series is On her majesties secret service,probably because they're trying to give the "SAPPY" & very unsuccesful George Lazenby a little bit more credit. But then again I can't see anyone else in that movie, It is jammed with the most special features ever, & the longest in the series.The only disadvantage is that it only includes 5 movies.(but it can hold 6)

Summary: The Third And Last Best Of The James Bond 007 Collection
Review: This Volume is fairly good, but doesn't deliver the goods as much as Volume one. Here's how I would rate them from oldest to newest: 1.Dr. No *** (1962) 2.On Her Majesty's Secret Service *** (1969) 3.The Man with the Golden Gun *** (1974) 4.The Spy who Loved Me ***1/2 (1977) 5.Moonraker *** (1979) Probably the best one in the series here would be, 'The Spy who Loved Me'. These are good films, but they're not as good as Volume 1 and 3.

Summary: The 5 Most Fun Bond Films
Review: While Collection 1 has the best movies for any James Bond collection, Collection 2 has some of the most enjoyable films in the entire series. These are still some of the best DVDs out there as every one has lots of extras including at least 1 documentry covering some aspect about the James Bond films in general in addition to a documentary on the film itself. Dr. No - I hadn't seen this one in a long time. It is a true classic. I am now convinced it is as good as if not better than Goldfinger. Honey Ryder is now my new favorite bond girl -- I now understand her fan appeal. If there is one thing you will get from this film it is a true love for James Bond! On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Has good action and a decent performance by George Lazenby but I don't like his taste for disguises. Very cool DVD menus. This movie's main problem is that it spends to much time developing the Bond relationship and has an unusually sad ending, however credit should be given to the filmakers for adding a new dimension to the bond character. The Man With The Golden Gun - Much more fun and enjoyable than I remembered, but I wish the action sequences would have been longer. I really enjoy Roger Moore's Bond films. The Spy Who Loved Me - It has every bond cliche -- fast cars, ski chases, over-the-top villians, giant villian lairs, lots of gadgets, lots of humor and good one-liners, and a beautiful leading lady. And for this Bond film, it really works! One of Roger Moore's best. Moonraker - Corny but enjoyable. More exposition is needed to bring continuity to the story. Every scene feels like a setup for the next action sequence. The film blatently ripps off several hit 70s films with a humor such that it almost is making fun of itself. It is still very fun to watch.

Summary: Buy this one last!
Review: If you don't already own the other two sets of Bond DVDs, get those ones first. While this is not a bad collection, the other two (especially the first) feature some of the best ones in the series. All this one has to offer is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "The Spy Who Loved Me". The other offerings are pretty meek from there. "Dr. No" is an okay film, but it lacks in the action and gadgetry that makes the series what it is. "The Man With the Golden Gun" is a personal favorite of mine but be cautious with this one. Some DVDs of this title are defective. "Moonraker" is one of the worst Bond films ever. It amazes me that they saddled us with 3 Roger Moore films in a 5 disc set. We definitely should have gotten "From Russia with Love" or "You Only Live Twice" with this one, instead of "Moonraker". All in all though the best reasons to watch these are the special features. The documentaries and audio commentaries reveal facts that have never been told and the trailers and radio/television spots are great to watch. The menu screens are beautifully animated and stand out from all other DVDs available right now.

Summary: 70s & 60s
Review: The unltimate Classic's of 007's Sean Connery and Roger Moore: Dr. No, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me & Moonraker. Into classics, this is your choice... Into 007 library regardless of how old or new the movies are this is a must. Into 007 new ones, go for The James Bond Collection (1999).

Summary: You take the good, you take the bad...well you get the idea.
Review: The second James Bond giftset is both a blessing and a curse. You get some of Bond's greatest adventures and you get some of his worst in this package. Lets get the bad ones out of the way first. MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN was a poorly written, slow paced adventure with Bond's worst characters in a VERY dated energy crisis story with Bond (Roger Moore badly grasping Sean's style of rough and tough) competing with world class, class act assassin Scaramanga (Christopher Lee is one of if not the series best villian) to gain control of a powerful solar energy converter that could solve the world's problems. MOONRAKER is a terrible adventure that pits Bond (a better acting Moore) against a nasty billionaire Hugo Drax who is planning on fleeing the earth in space shuttles to contaminate Earth with nerve gas and then re-populating it with specially chosen humans. MOONRAKER is boring and dull all the way and is an awful remake of it's predecessor SPY WHO LOVED ME. Now lets get to the good ones. DR. NO is the first film in the series and one of the best/better in the series that takes Bond (Sean Connery) to Jamaica to learn where a fellow agent and his secratary dissapeared to. After one avoiding assassination atempt after another he learns that the mysterious Dr. No owner of a nearby island is behind it all. A little slow by today's standereds but very enjoyable and smartly written. ON HER MAJESTIE'S SECRET SERVICE stars George Lazenby as Bond in a one time shot that is much better then people think. Bond is on the trail of Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas is the best as Blofeld) who is planning a germ warfare scheme from his Swiss Alps resort. Bond is on the trail and gets a little help from his love Tracy. (Diana Rigg, excellent) Some of the best action scenes in the series. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is my favortie of the "big" Bonds. Bond (Moore in his best job in the series) teams up with a Soviet female agent XXX (Barbara Bach, setting the standerd for the tough, Bond's equal girls) to find stolen British and Russian nuclear submarines before shipping kingpin Karl Stromburg uses the weapons onboard to destroy the Earth's surface and rule an undersea kingdom while staying out of the reach of Jaws, Stromburg's strongarm with razor sharp metal teeth. SPY is fun from start to finish and has some of the best sets and gadgets in the series. If your a collecter and have got to own them all, (like me) then this package is a no brainer. If your're a more passive fan, and only like certain ones in the series, you might want to ponder this one over first.

Summary: not enough quality
Review: The 2nd collection of James Bond movies was a gift to me. As my title suggests, I do not like movies in mono. They should have re-mastered or done anything they can to not present a movie on DVD in the year 2001 in mono. Rediculuous, IMHO. The movie Dr. No is one of the best Bonds so I have to give the movie pack some positive rating. Plus, DVD is better than VHS so that is a second star. For my money, I would not have spent so much money on 3 of 5 movies in mono. Just not what I'm about. Along the same lines, I bought T2 early on - and it was not remastered at that point for DVD and it sucks as well - even though we all know the content of T2 is among the best. If you can (and if they ever do), I suggest waiting for these to be remastered in 5.1.

Summary: Flawless but endangered part 2
Review: The DVDs in this collection are stunning. Not only are these the best most of these movies have ever looked and sounded but the extra commentaries and documentaries are a treasure trove. Dr. No, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, and (The World is not Enough -not formally in the set), have recieved the best compliment MGM/UA can give. Which makes the latest rumors that MGM is planning on putting the sets and the individual Bond DVDs on moratorium so puzzling. This means the titles will be discontinued until probably Bond 20 comes out next year. If you havent grabed the sets or your individual favorite movies consider grabbing them now before they disapear.
