Summary: Hardest-to-Find Bonds Now Available in a Set!
Review: The third James Bond collection is a treat for any Bond aficionado, with some of Connery, Moore, and Dalton's best work as 007, as well as some of the campiest of all Bond films!'From Russia With Love', Sean Connery's second outing as Britain's greatest secret agent, is considered by many to be the best of ALL Bond movies; the high-tech gadgets so prevalent in later outings are at a minimum, the villains (Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw) and allies (the great Pedro Armendarez, in his last film), are better defined, and Connery never looked more suave and deadly! The film has been compared favorably to Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest', and was Bond author Ian Fleming's personal favorite! 'You Only Live Twice' is a much weaker Connery entry ('On Her Majesty's Secret Service' had been planned as the 'Thunderball' follow-up, but was dropped in favor of this adventure). The film is uneven, with some bizzare moments, the strangest being when the hairy, 6'2" Connery tries to pass as Japanese, for one sequence! The film DOES offer some of the greatest action sequences of any Bond film, though (an army of Japanese fighters attacking the Ken Adam-designed secret rocket base is incredible!), John Barry's haunting score is unforgettable, and Japan has never looked livelier, or more mysterious! 'Diamonds Are Forever', Connery's last outing for the Saltzman/Broccoli team, finds him looking older, grayer, and stockier, in a light-hearted spoof of previous Bond films. The Las Vegas setting is decadent and glamourous, Jill St. John does a passable Lucille Ball imitation as Tiffany Case, and the tongue-in-cheek tone that would be predominant in the early Roger Moore films began here! 'Octopussy', Roger Moore's follow-up to the gritty 'For Your Eyes Only', was released the same year as Connery's 'Never Say Never Again', and both actors were slimmed down and in peak form, as competing 007s! This was Moore's last great Bond film, with terrific action scenes (the opening sequence, in a pocket jet fighter, is amazing!), a sexy co-star (Maud Adams, in her second appearance, is one of the BEST Bond leading ladies!) and genuine suspense! A real gem! 'A View to a Kill' is considered the worst Bond film ever made, which makes it a MUST for your collection, if you really want the complete Bond saga! A throwback to the early Moore spoofs, an aging Moore, looking taut from bad cosmetic surgery, gets to fight Christopher Walken (at his hammiest), while making love to Grace Jones(a truly BIZARRE match-up!) and Tanya Roberts, who ties with Denise Richards as the worst Bond leading lady ever! The wonderful Patrick Macnee makes a too-brief appearance as Bond's ally, and the climax, involving a blimp on the Golden Gate Bridge, is both preposterous and spectacular at the same time! Definitely a unique film! 'The Living Daylights' introduces Timothy Dalton as a harder-edged, yet more sensitive Bond, in a plot that was extemely topical, involving Russians and Afgans, double agents, and a beautiful musician, played by the luminous Maryam d'Abo. The film is a terrific adventure story, and many consider it to be Dalton's best performance as Bond! Definitely a keeper! As always, these 'Special Edition' DVDS offer commentaries by the creative talent, terrific 'Behind-the-Scene' documentaries, and LOTS of other goodies! This is a gift that your Bond fan will cherish, and you'll enjoy, again and again! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Summary: bond, james bond
Review: The worst collection? No the second was the worst. This has the best 007 movie of all, FRWL, and YOLT and DAF are both great because of Sean Connery. Each collection has one of the best:1 has Goldfinger; 2 has On Her Majesty's Secret Service; and 3 of course has From Russia With Love. A View To A Kill, along with The Man With The Golden Gun, are the worst of all. Moore is too old. The Living Daylights is good, but not as good as Licence to Kill. Another reason why #2 was bad was Mooraker. Moonraker is about the third worst Bond movie. The other three in the #2 set (DN, OHMSS, and, TSWLM) are all in the better half of the series. Octopussy is the second best Roger Moore movie behind TSWLM despite his age. FYEO is close behind Octopussy though. This set is good. I would get it if I didn't already have all of them. My favorite ones in the series are FRWL,OHMSS,GF,TND,YOLT,GE,TB,DN,TSWLM

Summary: Volume 3 of Bond DVDs Is the BEST
Review: They are all here, some of the best Bonds of the series: "From Russia With Love," "You Only Live Twice," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Octopussy," "A View To A Kill" and "The Living Daylights" There are 3 James Bonds: Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton. Not bad. John Barry scored all these, too! The print for "From Russia With Love" is grainy. "You Only Live Twice," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Octopussy," "A View To A Kill" and "The Living Daylights" are all excellent. The deleted scenes from "Diamonds Are Forever" and "The Living Daylights" are very cool! The deleted scene from "A View To A Kill" is the best. "A View To A Kill" is based on "Goldfinger" and John Gardner's "Role of Honor" this is one of Roger Moore's better James Bond movies. It is a big improvement over director Guy Hamilton's "Goldfinger" which tried to be humorous, but was not very successful in that department. Hamilton did finally succeed with his excellent "Man with the Golden Gun." It was a mixture of action and humor at its best. "A View To A Kill" is the most luxurious looking Bond movie. Zorin's magnificent palace and stables are the type of boost that "Goldfinger" needed. Zorin, after Scaramanga, has got to be one of the best villains of the series. He's a real psycho. May Day, after Nick Nack, is the best henchman. She gives a real twisted 80's performance. The opening pre-title sequence is one of the best. Bond is being chased down an ice-covered slope by Russian troops in Siberia to an exciting John Barry score highlighted by the Beach Boys' "California Girls" while he escapes on a ski mobile runner turned ski board. This is an excellent scene full of action and laughs. The Beach Boys' "California Girls" was a stroke of genius. John Barry really knows how to score a Bond movie! The getaway in a mini sub disguised as an iceberg was another stroke of genius. I was on the edge of my seat. Those were better ski scenes than those filmed in "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "The World Is Not Enough." They were close, but not quite as good as those in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" or "The Living Daylights." Duran Duran's opening main theme is the best of the series. It was even better than Lulu's "Man with the Golden Gun." Maurice Binder's main titles were his best since "Man with the Golden Gun." This film is just so great. Roger Moore looks younger in this one. I never saw him move better. I think these are the most stunts that he ever did in any Bond movie. The fight scene in Zorin's warehouse was one of his best. I like the way he lays out the guard on the conveyor belt and gets automatically wrapped like a corrugated carton. That was very cool. The steeplechase scene was also great and real suspenseful. I didn't know that Roger could ride a horse like that. When he breaks away into the woods that was really well filmed just like the similar scene in "Moonraker." Very cool, that's all I can say. The Eiffel Tower scene where Bond is chasing May Day through Paris in a stolen taxi, is one of the greatest scenes in the series. It was so funny. When Bond's taxi gets cut in half I thought he was done for. However, he keeps up with her and manages to crash a wedding on a moving barge. Crazy stuff! This kind of thing is what made the 80s so great! Q had some of his best scenes in this film. The microchip briefing in M's office was good and reminiscent of "Moonraker" and "Octopussy." I liked Q's surveillance machine. That was very innovative. It was also good to see Bond, Moneypenny and M all at the races. General Gogol had some good scenes too. I like when he puts the cassette in the player in his car and it starts playing the Japanese Spa music. That was really funny. The underwater scenes in this film were excellently filmed. I was holding my breath when Bond taps the tire of the sunken Rolls for air. That was very innovative. Zorin's San Francisco pumping station was also done well. When Bond was underwater I thought for sure he was going to get sucked in by those propeller blades. That was filmed as good as any underwater scene from "Thunderball," "For Your Eyes Only." "Licence To Kill" or "Tomorrow Never Dies." The sets in this movie were great. The interior of Zorin's airship was very reminiscent of "Goldfinger" and "Diamonds Are Forever." Zorin's mine was one of the best sets from the entire series. Caves are cool, just like in "Live and Let Die" and "Dr. No." Just like SPECTRE, Zorin eliminates undesirables just like they were terminated similarly in "From Russia With Love" and "You Only Live Twice." I liked the way they got the Russians involved in the plot. You can't have a good Bond movie without them. Not to worry, they show up again in "The Living Daylights" and "GoldenEye." Stacey was the best Bond girl since Mary Goodnight. You really feel for her. I almost thought Bond was going to leave her in the elevator shaft the way she was screaming. Bond saves her just in time. She was also great in the fire engine chase and the ultimate battle between Bond and Zorin on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. This film has it all: action, suspense, humor, laughs, terror, set designs, great underwater scenes and car chases. The only thing it lacked was exotic locales. That is what gives "Man with the Golden Gun" and "Octopussy" one up on "A View To A Kill."

Summary: the best set ever
Review: This is the #1 007= box set of all time, it has the greatest movies. From russia with love is the best with Sean Connery(even if it is a sequel). A View to a kill is the 2nd best with Roger Moore,& The Living daylights is the best one that Dalton is in. The best DVD in this set is Diamonds are forever, which includes 4 deleted scenes & an alternate stunt scene. From russia with love & the living daylights both have an extra feature on the DVD that was not mentioned on the box, which was ultra surprising. the only disadvantage is that From russia with love was not filmed in widescreen, it was filmed in letterbox so you dont have as much picture as the other ones. To me this is the best 007= set ever.

Summary: A better set than Volume 2
Review: This set is better than the last one, and as someone who owns the previous sets I'm very much anticipating this one. From Russia With Love, although not my personal favorite, is a classic OO7. Octopussy is pretty good itself. Diamonds are Forever is another great one. You Only Live Twice is rather underrated in my opinion. The Living Daylights is also underrated since Timothy Dalton was unlike most Bond's before him, but he still packed a punch when it counted (especially in the action scenes). A View To A Kill, some call it the worst but I don't agree with that, because it's got a great opening sequence. This set can't be as good as the first, not much can since it had three of my favorites For Your Eyes Only, Thunderball, and Goldfinger. But every Bond collection is worth getting, the extra features on each are outstanding, even for a Bond film I really never cared for known as Man With The Golden Gun has a great feature about the stunts of the films. The commentaries are usually informative and they are always filled with the insight of the pressure of making a Bond film. The trailers are usually fun to watch because, like a lot of older films, people really didn't know how to make trailers back in the day and they are fun to watch how much the give away and how everyone claims to be the best Bond ever. Each Bond have a descent promotional feature and some of good documentaries on the history of OO7. So I highly recommend these sets for all fans.

Summary: Bond fans, the wait is over!
Review: this set IS deffinitly the worst of the 3, but that doesn't mean it's not good! Sean's From Russia with Love and Daltons Living Daylights films are worth getting the whole set! if not a fan, just buy the two singular, but for the price of the 6 together and two singular,it's better to have em' all, with out spending too much more! Diamonds are Forever and View to a Kill KINDA ruin the set, just warning you! I feel sad that now, the Bond boxed sets have come to and end. Maybe they'll re-release them in new cases or something...

Summary: Horrible set
Review: This set os aboslutely horrible. Not only do you get the awful "Diamonds are Forever," but you get the even more awful "A View to a kill." The others are so-so. "You Only Live Twice" gets my vote fore most action in a Sean Connery/Bond film, but the plot leaves something to be desired. "Octopussy," is pretty good, and deserves a good 4 stars. Some good stunts and acting, but Moore is getting really old. (He was 56 when he did "Octopussy" and 58 when he did "A View to a Kill") "The Living Daylights" is OK. Timothy Dalton is good, as is the car he has. "From Russia With Love" is undoubtedly the best in the set. In this DVD we get Sean Connery, good acting, action, sets, suspense, everything a bond film needs that I can't think of. all in all: don't buy this. go buy From russia with love sperately in stead

Summary: The Good, The Bad, and The Very Funny
Review: This third and last James Bond DVD set contains a wide variety of offerings: The Good - From Russia with Love is probably the best James Bond film ever made; it's chock full of suspense and intrigue that will make any spy movie fan drool. The Living Daylights returns Bond to serious spying and along with For Your Eyes Only is the best James Bond film of the eighties. The Bad - A View To A Kill is the worst James Bond movie of all time. It should be retitled "Abbot and Costello Meet James Bond". Has the ever been a worse Bond Girl than Tanya Roberts? You Only Live Twice was Sean Connery's worst by far. He didn't even try to act, not that the dialogue-bare and gadget-laden script gave him much of a chance. And that plot was the most outlandish of all. The Very Funny - Diamonds Are Forever is by far the funniest of all James Bond films. Oh that dialogue! Connery, Charles Gray, Jill St. John and the rest of the cast take us on a comic book thrill ride that's more fun than...(you know the rest). Finally, Octopussy is really a mix of suspense and fun; it's as if the producers weren't sure which type of film they wanted to make. Louis Jordan as Karmal Khan has some very witty lines reminiscent of Charles Gray in Diamonds Are Forever.

Summary: Bond.... the best!
Review: This third boxset contains not the best Bond films, but (we all know) the Bond films are the best! One thing that amazes me after watching various LDs and DVDs in my collection, is that one consistently returns to watching Bond, even after years of absence. They are supremely well made (how many movies have their own dedicated studio and special effects/stunt etc. teams? Are there any such competitors? ), and basically are the best, however much one compares between the films and highlights relatively small differentials. The long duration of the films alone - usually with several genres per film - makes them good value for money. Bottomline, this is a must-buy for any DVD collector.
