Dr. No (Special Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Bond 1, and it's easily one of the best.
Review: DR. NO is without a doubt one of the best movies in the Bond series, it was also the first one made. With a great story, terrific action scenes, and villians hiding behind every palmtree, DR. NO also proved that Bond doesn't need all of his gizmos to make a fun adventure. Say with the exception of possibly his silencer, he has none for this outing. Bond (Sean Connery) is sent to Jamaica to investigate the whereabouts of one of England's agents and his secretery who have disappeared under suspicious circumstances while investigating a shadowy figure named Dr. No who inhabits his own nearby island. Meeting up with CIA man Felix Leiter (Jack Lord was the first and best Felix) and his assistant Quarell, (perhaps the coolest helper in the series.) The investigation begins. Bond discovers that Dr. No is indeed behind the dissapearence's and find out that Dr. No is also involved with a scheme to sabotage Cape Canaveral rocket launches, and it's up to Bond and his female companion Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress-whom many think is the best Bond Girl.) to stop his plot. Don't let the age of this movie fool you, it may not have the killer opening and song that many other films have nor the inventions but the simplicity of the movie with a touch of Dr. No's high-tech stronghold make it work, and it easily surpasses many of the Bond films that came after it. No Bond fan or fan of spy movies should go without seeing it.

Summary: The original Bond adventure
Review: Dr. No came out in 1962 and instantly became a hit critically and fianancially. It is easy to see how this film spawned 18 sequels and set the standard's for the others to follow. Not as flashy as some of it's predecessors, Dr. No has a low key plot more in tone with Fleming's novels. The story has James Bond sent in to investigate the suspicous murder of a colleague and his secretary in the beautiful island of Jamacia. With the help of a American ally, C.I.A agent Felix Leiter (who would later return in six more films) they disover a plot to disrupte U.S rockets being launched from Cape Canivral. The mastermind behind this scheme, is the sinister Dr. No , played brilliantly by Joesph Wiseman. While investigating , James Bond meets up with his fair share of beautiful women , no more so than bikini-clad Honey Rider (Ursula Rider). This film mared the beginning of an era, it issued in a new hero who would be an icon for different generations, his name is James Bond 007

Summary: Welcome to the World, Mr. Bond
Review: In this first Bond film, Sean Connery emerges as the superhero. Thanks to great writing, this film is a great adaptation of the novel by Ian Fleming. Ursula Andress is wonderful as the sex Goddess Honey Ryder. Her first scene is moment in film history to be remembered. Joseph Wiseman is excellent as Dr. Julius No. He brings a certain evil to the part, and is in a way a larger than life vilain. Jack Lord is wonderful as CIA Agent Felix Leiter (who was played by several actors, but Lord was the best one in my opinion)Killer climax on Crab Key, and various other elements make the first, and one of the best James Bond Films.

Summary: The one the only ORIGINAL James Bond.
Review: Although this was not the first Bond story ever written (that would be Casino Royale), this would be the movie that would introduce millions of moviegoers to the suave secret agent with a license to kill, James Bond. And it's still great fun to watch to this day. Bond is sent to Jamacia on the trail of a sinister agent known as Dr. No who is in league with the terrorist organization known as SPECTRE. In his attempt to foil Dr. No's sinister plans, he comes across a beautiful young woman named Honey Ryder portrayed by Ursula Andress, who I feel is still the loveliest of the quote unquote "Bond Girls" to date with a very Raquel Welch quality to her looks. This movie still stands the test of time and proves why Sean Connery is and always will be the best Bond.

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I am sorry to say that although I enjoyed this film a lot, there are other Bonds I enjoyed more. However, this film is definitely worth seeing, if not owning, because it set the tone for all the Bonds to come. It does have a great villain (Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No).

Rating:
Summary: One of the Classics
Review: With classic villians,overseas adventure,and a swuave,cleaver secreat agent.Dr.No remains one of the great classics that inspired the early 60's spy era.Sean Connery gives a great proformence in a role that would make him a legend.Even thought I found some of the lines a bit punchy,I found it a wonderful thrilller and mystery movie in kepping with the spirit of IAN flemming's 007,and the babes don't hurt either.

Rating:
Summary: A great start to the greatest film series ever.
Review: Although this is not one of my favorite Bond movies, I still love it. Dr. No is one of the best bad guys of any movie, not just 007. Quarrel is the coolest Bond ally. Plus, its amazing that with the tiny budget that they had to make it, it turned into such a huge movie and franchise. I would recommend this to anyone, but if you just want to see the best, get Goldfinger.

Summary: WOW!
Review: This was a fantastic movie! I have seen a total of 10 007 films not counting this one, and this one stood as one of the best. Joseph Wiseman was an absolutely stunning Dr. No and Connery, as always, was an incredible Bond. If you haven't seen this one, your Bond experience will not be complete!
