Summary: Bond proves once again that nobody does it better
Review: This third James Bond set contains some very entertaining Bond films that each have an essence of their own. From Russia With Love ranks as one of the best movies of the series. Both Diamonds are Forever and You Only Live Twice are each fun films, though each does have a tendancy to drag in some parts. These two were the beginning of some of the comic book aspects of the series that were to come in the seventies. Nontheless, these last two Connery Bonds were so substantial that even today the Austin Powers films have borrowed liberally from each.

Octopussy is one of the best films of the Roger Moore era. It is superb in all respects. A View to a Kill is at best a spotty film, but it does provide a healthy dose of dry wit and memorable performances (specifically from Patrick Macnee, who shares a great chemistry with Moore in his too few moments on screen).

The Living Daylights also showes a harder-edged Bond that harkens back to the Fleming novels and the first film the the set, From Russia With Love. All in all, a very successful and distinct performance from Timothy Dalton.

These movies are all very distinct, and show varying interpretations of the character and reflect the time period in which each film was made. This set is highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What Can I Say........Bond Rules!
Review: Where do I start? All the bond movies are great, but don't get me wrong, some are better than others. Here are the order I would buy these DVD's in if I were to buy them seperate. The Living Daylights, Octopussy, From Russia With Love, You Only Live Twice, A View To A Kill, and Diamonds Are Forever. But this, of course is after I buy all the Brosnan Bond movies. Some people say all the new ones suck. While some say all the old ones suck. While I say, they're all good. It's just that some are better than others. Another factor that affects my DVD buy is the special features. Some are better than others. The one with the best special features is Tomorrow Never Dies (Brosnan, 1997). Well, if you like Bond and are amazingly rich, pick up this box set OR just buy some of your favourites. If you hate Bond...Then why are you reading this?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Someone please post what scenes are missing...
Review: Whoever has had problems with their DVDs in this set please post what all was missing from them so I can determine if I need to send mine back to MGM.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You know you want them all
Review: You can look up the individual reviews. Of course some individual titles will go out of stock. Others may not be your favorite. However you will have friends and relatives that will want to compare Bonds. A single case makes the movies easier to keep track of and look better on your video storage wall. Being DVDs this is a one-time investment. With the advent of multiple DVD changers you will be able to keep James ready at a moments notice. I tried buying individual as I got the money and found shipping was getting very expensive that way. So bite the bullet and buy the collection.
