Summary: DON'T BE [taken advantage of]! Re-Release coming!
Review: You'll notice the Bond box sets are out of print and selling at astronomically high prices here. DON'T BUY THEM! The entire set is being re-issued in October, 2002 and you'll be able to buy on Amazon.Com for less than [price]. Unless you like to overpay just wait. These DVDs are a must for any serious Bond fan, but not at these prices.

Summary: A pretty nice set
Review: This collection has some of the greatest Bond movies. It starts out great with Connery's two best and most popular films - (with the exception of "From Russia With Love") "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball". Next we have Roger Moore's debut as bond in "Live and Let Die." This movie isn't that good, so consider it as an added bonus to "Thunderball," Goldinger," and the rest. Next is "For Your Eyes Only", a solid Bond flick which deserves a good 4 out of 5 stars. Good acting by Roger Moore. After that is Timothy Dalton is "License to Kill." Personally this is one of my least favorite Bond films because of the bad acting by Felix and the bond girl and some of the violence. (Which I don't mind, but it's too strong for a Bond film.) "The Living Daylights" would've been a nice, light-heatred approach, but the gritty and dark "License To Kill" adds some guilty pleasures. Finally, we have Goldeneye, with the great Pierce Brosnan. This movie gets a huge, well deserved facelift from "License To Kill." There's a new M, Moneypenny, Bond, and there's great villains. The action is superb, the acting is great, the the movie keeps you hooked from beginning to end. (You also see a rare occasion where 007 actually works together with a fellow agent, 006) In my opinion, this is the best bond film in the entire set. The last movie in the series is the horrible "Tomorrow Never Dies." Plagued by stupid villains, mediocre action, and a bad plot, only Brosnan's acting can keep this film from falling in to the "worst bond movies" category. (Where Diamonds are Forever, A View To A Kill, and Moonraker is) The DVDs are pretty good, boasting some good documentaries, radio spots, commentaries, trailers, storyboards, music videos (on the newer bond films) and sometimes more. This bond set chronicles a saga of Bond from 1964 - 1997. Bond fans should have this set. They won't be disappointed.
P.S Rest in piece, Q.

Summary: The Best Box Set Of The Three!
Review: The James Bond 007 Collection on DVD is something ALL fans MUST have! The films transfers are beautiful! The extra features are so cool! This is the best Bond set of the three, due to the wide variety of different films. I don't care if the films aren't in correct order (as I said in my reveiw of James Bond 007 Colllection Volume 2). Thus, this boxed set is a very interesting mixed bag of different Bond actors. Personally, my favorite would have to be Roger Moore. My least favorite? Without any thought, surely Pierce Brosnan. Brosnan's a great actor, but just can't do Bond to well. He's also to Pretty for me. Bond's sopposed to be tough. Well, Brosnan's NOT! But, it's nice to have his two films in this set. The World Is Not Enough is an OK entry, but II consider it a plus it isn't in here. Anyway, you get seven very good Bond films on EXCELLENT DVDs! The first is Goldfinger, directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Sean Connery as Bond. In this film, Bond must go after Auric Goldfinger, because he's smuggling gold. He comes in contact with three gorgeous woman, Jill Masterson (the golden girl), Tilly Masterson, her sister out for revenge because Goldfinger had her killed, and Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman), who's tough as nails and doesn't mind getting in a fight with Bond. Goldfinger's a great Bond film. It was the first Bond to introduce to us lots of cool gadgets and gags (watch out for the Aston Martin DB5), and was the first blockbuster hit of the series. It was followed by another blockbuster mega hit, Thunderball, directed by Terence Young and also starring Sean Connery. In Thunderball, Bond goes after Largo, an evil badboy who is planning to bomb Miami! Bond races against time to try and stop him. Full of spectacular underwater action sequences and tons of cool gadgets, Thunderball ends up being one of the best of the series. The next Bond film in the set is Live And Let Die, directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Roger Moore in his first role as Bond. In this film, Bond must fight psychotic villian Kananga (Yaphet Kotto, Alien, Freddy's Dead The Final Nightmare) who's planning to make lots of money off shipments of heroin. In this film, Bond seduces psychic Solitaire (Jane Seymour), who's powers depend on her keeping her virginity. Live And Let Die is a good, not great, entry. Some scenes are exciting, but some special effects WAY to fake (watch out for Mr. Kotto turning into a big rubber guy and popping). The next film is another Roger Moore one, For Your Eyes Only, directed by John Glen. In this exciting entry, Bond is faced with a sunken ship. He must find the device it was carrying, the ATAC, which can encode bombings anywher, anytime. Bond teams up with Melinda Havelock (Carole Bouquet) who's out for revenge because her parents were killed. This is a good entry, with some interesting twists in the plot. The next entry in this set is the very violent Licence To Kill, directed by John Glen and starring Timothy Dalton in his final role as Bond. Licence To Kill is hard edged, almost completely humorless entry, with lots of violence and gore, and a very different plot from other Bond films. Bond is enraged when he finds his best freind, Felix Lieter (David Hedison, Live And Let Die, The Fly), chewed up by a shark, and his bride murdered. Bond goes on a personal vendetta, quitting the british secret serivce and heading out to find drug dealer Sanchez (Robert Davi, Die Hard) and murder him. Licence To Kill is an interesting Bond picture, although it's a surprise that it got away with a "PG-13" rating. It really deserved an "R". The next film is Goldeneye, directed by Martin Campbell and starrin Peirce Brosnan in his first outing as 007. Here, Bond's out to stop 006, Alec Trevelyn (Sean Bean) from blowing up London and collecting all money from the banks (by computer). This is an OK film, not the best. There's some cool stunts, but the one near the beggining where Bond rides off a cliff on a motorcycle and proceeds to (without a parachute) climb onto a falling plane is so laughably unrealistic you may have less of a good time the rest of the movie. The last film in this set is the weak Tommorow Never Dies, directed by Roger Spottiswoode and starring Peirce Brosnan again. In this film, propably the worst in the whole set, Bond goes after media magnate Elliot Carver (Johnathan Price) who plans to (surprise, surprise) blow up London with a gigantic missile. So, Bond teams up with dull Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) to stop him. Unfortunately, this entry relies to much on a bunch of shooting and gun fights, but you NEVER feel like Bond is in any danger. The ending, where Bond walks around like The Termonator and shoots every bad guy in sight, is clumsily executed. Bond's not exciting unless he's in danger, but Brosnan plays him like an invincible man who won't die or ever get hurt. A shame. Still, this entry does have it's high points, such as Teri Hatcher in the role of Carver's wife, Paris. Now, this boxed set is very full of extras. Each film has at least one commentary (there's two on Goldfinger, Thunderball, For Your Eyes Only, Licence To Kill, Goldeneye, and Tommorow Never Dies, I beleive) and this is what makes this set the best of the three. Two commentaries. Cool! And, there's documentaries for each movie (sometimes one, sometimes two), as well as several theatrical trailers and TV spots. There's also radio spots among other things like still gallery and music videos on the more recent James Bond films. Each film is presented with gorgeous picture and sound quality (people complaining about mono, LIVE WITH IT!!). Each film is properly presented in correct widescreen format, and you can also change languages to french, and there's english, french, and spanish subtitles.
They all come with a collectible booklet as well, and you may be able to make valuable savings with things also offered with it. All in all, great set! This is my favorigte boxed set of the three, but I'd also recommend Collection Volume 2 and 3. If you found my reveiw helpful, please vote for me, thank you!

Summary: Volume one
Review: Volume 1 features alot of the 1st's & lasts in the series,Goldfinger was the last with the Bob Simmons gun barrel, Thunderball, the first to be filmed in the Widescreen format. Live & let die, the 1st with Roger Moore. Licence to kill, the last with Dalton. Goldeneye, the 1st with Pierce Brosnan. This set contains 7 movies, the most movies of all 3 collections. I do'nt think it's as good as the newer sets because there is less special features & no "Trailer selection"(the ability to choose which theatrical trailer & TV spot you want to see). That is why I rated Vol 4 stars instead of 5. I gave 5 stars to the other 2 sets.

Summary: The Best Volume Of The James Bond Collection
Review: What more could you ask for? Finally you can stop searching for each individual movie, wasting time looking for a single video, when you can have them all. I was always confused about which James Bond film came first. But now I know, now that I got all three volumes, I know which one comes first and last. The older films are better, though. Here's how I would rate each one (from oldest to newest): 1.Goldfinger ***1/2 (1964) 2.Thunderball ***1/2 (1965) 3.Live and Let Die *** (1973) 4.For Your Eyes Only *** (1981) 5.Licence to Kill **** (1989) 6.GoldenEye ***1/2 (1995) 7.Tomorrow Never Dies **1/2 (1997) Eventhough I have said the oldest were the better, I still think of 'Licence to Kill' as my favorite Bond Film. It's just that there are more older films that are better than new films. I gave 'Tomorrow Never Dies' **1/2 because it wasn't as good as GoldenEye and it looked like it was saying "Bond films are going to be bad, starting from there".

Summary: The Bond Universe
Review: DVD'S are great, especially the Bond special edition DVD's. If you're truly a Bond fan such as I then these were a must have ever since you bought your DVD player. Each starts out with it's own unique menu and there's a Bond for every personality. Wether it be the comically ironic Roger Moore or the manly Sean Connery but one thing never changes: The drink, always a Martini shaken not stirred well except for in You Only Live Twice in which case it's a Martini stirred not shaken. But anyways it is a must have addition to your DVD collection.
