Summary: Shaking AND Stirring
Review: As a lover of Bond films, it is difficult to seriously critique them -- they are what they are. Unfortunately, some of them are...bad. Gift set Vol. 1 gets a loving five stars -- Volume 2 -- well, let's face it...it contains some of the worst of the series. Dr. No is EXCELLENT, and worth five stars on its own merit. A must for any Bond fan because Sean Connery does a masterful job at portraying James Bond as Ian Fleming wrote him. On Her Majesty's Secret Service IS underrated, but I would recommend it only to the die-hard fan. Lazenby simply isn't likable enough for the role. In other words -- it bores me. The Spy Who Loved Me -- well done and deserving of four stars. One of Moore's finest outings, just behind For Your Eyes Only and just above Live and Let Die. The others, The Man with the Golden Gun (so much potential if ONLY they had gone with the Fleming version! Doh!) and Moonraker are forgettable garbage that bear little and sometimes no resemblence to the stories Ian Fleming wrote which could be forgiven if they had improved on them. They don't. And I'm not an elitist! Just because a movie bears no resemblance to its own inspiration does not automatically mean it is a bad film. These two films are simply not well made as far as both story and character. My condolences to Mr. Moore (he made a fine James Bond -- the fault was in the writers and filmmakers). My advice -- save yourself some money and purchase Dr. No and The Spy Who Loved Me, which are both well made and enjoyable, separately to compliment or begin any Bond collection. Then wait for From Russia With Love.

Summary: Bond Fan, Not Moore Fan
Review: This set is, as Amazon politely said, a mixed bag. It would bemore accurate to call it mostly ( ). These are some of the worst Bondhas to offer, except for Dr. No. Yes, the first set did include the pitiful License to Kill, but it had more Connery. And Connery is all you need. END

Summary: A superb collection
Review: A great selection of Bond movies in this second collection. None of the tedium of "Thunderball" or po-faced nonsense of "For Your Eyes Only", or misguided vigilante movie of "Licence To Kill". Instead, we get Bond as it should be; big, splashy and fun. Best of all is the controversial "Moonraker", my favourite Bond movie and a sheer tonic every time I watch it. Best villain - the exquisitely precise Michel Lonsdale - best settings, best script - "I think he's attempting re-entry sir" - and the very best Bond in Roger Moore. Personally, I can't stand Connery, the grizzled milkman, but Moore is simply perfect. It's got nothing to do with Ian Fleming of course, but why let that get in the way of such delicious fun ? Bernard Lee is also at his best in his last film, and his timing of the final "007 !" is immaculate. Then we have the marvellously exciting, gritty and sensationally well made "OHMSS", which has the best action scenes of the entire series and a much better performance from Lazenby than anyone is willing to admit. Besides, he's surrounded by great performances, notably from Diana Rigg and Gabriell Ferzetti, so his occasional woodenness doesn't matter a jot. More Moore jollity in "The Spy Who Loved Me" - a notch below "Moonraker" as it insists on replaying "You Only Live Twice", but still a lot of fun. "The Man With The Golden Gun" is probably the worst of the series, but does have the benefit of Christopher Lee. Finally, "Dr No", the film which started it all. Connery is awful in it, displaying not a jot of class or charisma, but Joseph Wiseman and Ursula Andress make up for the non-presence at the centre of the film.

Summary: James Bond returns to DVD
Review: James Bond once again returns to the DVD format in some of his best movies. This collection will finish out all of the introduction of the Bond actors. I was amazed at the first wave of James BondDVD's, and am anxious to see this wave of 007 on DVD. Personally, I think DVD enhances the movie for the modern era. If you ever watch the old Bond's on VHS, you can tell how old the movie is. With DVD, you will only be able to appreciate the beauty of the movie, as it was first presented in the theater. Icluded in this collection #2 is my all time favorite "On Her Majesty's Secret Serivce." Followed by that is "Dr. No," "Moonraker," "The Man With The Golden Gun," and finally "The Spy Who Loved Me." Also what is included in the collection is most of Roger Moore's productions of Bond. I thought Roger Moore did an excellent job as Bond, as though he was skeptical in "Live and Let Die." I think that the reviewer below is right about "The World Is Not Enough." I think there will be a slot for "The World Is Not Enough" for you to place once you order it. It makes sense though. Why would MGM release all of the Bond movies on DVD at the time of "The World Is Not Enough" release and not a spot to put "TWINE?" The DVD extras will be neat to watch and you are able to learn more about the movie. Along with the documentaries, you have the audio commentary tracks available on all of the Bond DVD's. If they are anything like the original giftset, which I think they will, James Bond fans like myself are in for a real treat. This is a must for Bond fans who are looking to complete their 007 DVD collection. This is a special gift set for the Bond collector and enthusiast.

Summary: Just a small correction regarding TWINE.
Review: Contrary to a previous post, The World is Not Enough will not be included in the 3rd gift set. Rather, this 2nd gift set will include an empty space for The World is Not Enough DVD, which will only be sold seperately. An explanation: In sales numbers, studios can't count units sold in sets (in this case, The World is Not Enough) as sales. So, in order to keep the sales numbers for TWINE as high possible, it will only be available seperately, and not as part of any set.

Summary: The reason to own DVD
Review: This isn't released yet, but anyone who has seen any of the Volume 1 giftset knows what to expect. MGM has done a great job on these 007 DVD, and they demonstrate why DVD is worth owning. The extra features are great, and it shows that MGM spent the necesarry time to make a product for the fans. I am especially glad "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is included in this volume. One word of caution: although "The World is Not Enough" is being released as Special Edition, it will most likely be part of the Volume 3 giftset...

Summary: Great work by MGM on the first set of DVDs
Review: Unfortunately, this batch contains the horrible turkey "Moonraker," and the oddly dull "Man With the Golden Gun." The others are keepers, including the spectacular "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," which despite a somewhat drab performance by George Lazenby is perhaps the only Bond film with an involving personal story. The real bomb here though again is "Moonraker." It as an almost unwatchable piece of junk.

Summary: Four Good Bonds out of Five
Review: MGM's James Bond Collection #2 provides the Bond fan the an assortment of the "middle" Bond movies (On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Moonraker, along with the first Bond movie, Dr. No), with an assortment of the extra accompliments that DVD lovers have come to expect in the the format: audio commentary, a documentary "Making of" or "Inside," along with original ads and trailers. For action, Dr. No and Her Majesty's Secret Service are two of the best of the series. The Spy Who Loved Me and The Man with the Golden Gun offer two of the most stylish of the series, with lavish sets and larger than life villians. This set would have received five stars had it not included "Moonraker," one of the two weak Moore movies (the other being "A View to A Kill") and the Bond producers response to "Star Wars;" however, since "For Your Eyes Only" had been issued on the previous set, that was not possible. At Amazon's price, this set is a must for Bond, and other action, lovers, and I'd recommend it.
