Summary: Agent 007's spectacular debut!
Review: I am a major fan of the James Bond movie series! I know just about everything about the world's coolest secret agent! Fans like me are synonymous with the Bond name. Clever gadgets, gorgeous women, exciting adventure, colorful villians, and cool cars are just some of the things represented of Bond. But surprisingly, the first James Bond movie, DR. NO, doesn't start out with those things we all know of the Bond movies. But DR. NO has amazing sets, creative title sequences, the astounding Bond music, bad guys, beautiful women, and the best Bond of them of all: Sean Connery. DR. NO was the first film adapted from the books, created by the amazing Ian Fleming. Producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman bought the books from Fleming, and tried to convince studios to finance them. They had trouble there, which they called the 'Bond thing' too British, and sexual. Luckily, United Artists took a chance on DR. NO, and allocated a meager budget of $1 million. Next, they cast a virtually unknown Scottish actor named Sean Connery. The studio wasn't too keen on Connery, who beat out actors Roger Moore and Rex Harrison. They also hand-picked the alluring Ursula Andress as the Bond girl, Honey Ryder and cast Joseph Wiseman as the title character, and the first Bond villian. With these perfect cast choices, the film would go on to be a huge hit and launched the career of Connery. DR. NO was the one of the few films most faithful to the original story, with James Bond sent by M of MI6 to Jamaica to investigate the death of a fellow agent named Strangways. Bond's trail leads him to the isolated island of Crab Key, where he meets the sexy Honey Ryder. Bond is then confronted with the corrupt scientist Dr. No, from the evil SPECTRE organization who is planning to use Crab Key as a launch pad to destroy the U.S space programme and plan world domination, but of course Bond succeeds by foiling the villian's plan and saving the world... for the first time. Sean Connery personifies James Bond with such perfection that it was hard to imagine anyone else in the role. He's tall, charismatic, demeaning, and perfectly tailored for the role of Bond, who is the connoisseur of fine food and drink, who kills in cold blood and yet is able bed and charm alluring ladies and save the day from vicious villians; it's all in a day's work for the charming British spy, James Bond, who's the perfect anti-hero. Nobody in the world would have forseen the phenomenon that the James Bond films would become. DR. NO, the very first film, lauched the breathtaking world of James Bond to audiences in 1962, and it still stands even in 2004, where it is a part of existence among people's minds. This will be my first review of the 007 films, as I'm planning to review all of them in order.

Summary: Underneath the Mango Tree, My Honey and Me!
Review: The 1st James Bond movie. Producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman took a big gamble in their first effort to bring Ian Fleming's superagent character to the big screen. Their first challenge of many was in deciding - who would play James Bond? It is hard, perhaps impossible, to imagine anyone else portraying the role other than Sean Connery. Among the many contenders were Michael Redgrave, Cary Grant, Max Von Sydow, Patrick McGoohan, and yes even Roger Moore who, of course, would play the role over a decade later. Their final choice was a choice they would never regret! Ironically two hallmarks of the Bond series would be presented in DR. NO. 1) The introduction of Sean Connery who truly defines the character with his suave manner, good looks, and deadly intensity - a style to be perfected as well by the later actors. 2) Ursula Andress emergencing from the water as bikini clad and hunting knife armed Honey Ryder. Just as Connery would be forever remembered as 007, Andress, and many others to come, would be forever remembered as one of the most sexiest Bond girls. The same could be said for the series' returning characters; M, Major "Q" Boothroyd, Felix Leiter, and Miss Moneypenny. THE ASSIGNMENT: When Agent Strangways goes missing in Jamaica, Bond is assigned to investigate. Strangways was checking out a US inquiry regarding the interference of rocket launchers from Cape Canaveral. Toppling, the art of throwing the gyroscopic controls off-beam by remote control, is suspected and it seems to be coming from the Jamaican area. With the moon launch approaching, the Americans must be certain nothing will go wrong, and 007 is sent to investigate. THE VILLAINS: Joseph Wiseman as ruthless Dr. Julius No, Anthony Dawson as Professor Dent, and Zena Marshall as Miss Taro. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! BUY IT!

Summary: THOUGH IT STARTED THE PHENOMENA. SAY NO TO THE DR.
Review: Being a James Bond fan for over 20 years I view each installment with an impartial eye. Although Dr. No began the series it pales in comparison to the subsequent films. All 007 movies are approx. 2 hrs. long. Dr. No is one of the few that feel that long when viewing. This film is drawn out, lacluster and out right boring. Furthermore, Sean Connery is a pathetic actor. Much like Al Gore his persona and performance is robot like. Besides that, he's Scottish. Why in Gods name would he even be an option when casting. He can't even imitate a proper British accent. ... Just because an actor has had a long career does'nt necessarily mean he is talented. For Example: Kevin Costner

Summary: There is Something Strange at Crab Key, Mr. Bond
Review: Dr. No marks the introduction of one of the most successful franchises in motion picture history. With the introduction of James Bond spy cinema was never the same. Sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance of MI5 agent Strangways, Bond stumbles onto the plot of SPECTRE agent Dr. No to destroy the US space program with radio waves.
Since the plot of the film is so well known , I will stick to the features found on the Special Edition DVD. The print quality is sharp and clear for a forty year old film. If one wishes to see the unrestored quality he only needs to view the original trailers to get some idea. The sound is English Mono and the dialogue comes across with no real distortion. The disc features two featurettes. The first "Inside Dr. No" gives a great deal of information about the production and has interviews with most of the surviving members of the cast and crew. The second feature "Terrence Young:Bond Vivant" explores the career of the Bond director and makes interesting parallels between his life and the character he brought to the screen. An unusual commentary includes taped comments and stories from almost all surviving cast and crew members. This commentary track is fact filled but tends to drag slightly. There are also trailers, TV and radio spots and a stills gallery. All in all a very well done disc.

Summary: Style but little substance.
Review: At their worst, these movies have a lot of style, but almost zero substance in terms of script and casting. We can enjoy 007 escaping one death trap after another. We can enjoy seeing him romance the ladies wither they be Ursula Andress on the beach or Zena Marshall wearing a long white bathrobe and having long black hair. We can enjoy seeing him fight Dr. No in a battle to save the world. But their is no sustance to this or any of the movies. They are a big scam, and that's all they will be.

Summary: 007 wears a hat
Review: It's been said that the Sixties didn't really begin until 1964, the year in which The Beatles came to America, and there's something to be said for that thesis. The first James Bond film, released in 1962 in the U.K. and in 1963 in the U.S., has a definite Fifties feel, most evident in the fact that 007 wears a hat, an adornment that John F. Kennedy helped make unfashionable for men and which Bond would never be seen in again after "From Russia With Love, except in the series' trademark gun barrel opening. Aside from the headwear, what really seperates "Dr. No" from its successors is the music. Except for the now famous "James Bond Theme," it is ordinary background music, completely lacking the ambition and distinction of John Barry who claims he is responsible for the theme for which Monty Norman is still taking bows, but having been called in at the last minute to punch up the score never received proper credit. (A comparison of Norman's score with Barry's subsequent work for the series makes it obvious that Barry is the man who wrote the most famous theme since the the dum-de-dum-dum of TV's "Dragnet." Beginning with "From Russia With Love," Barry would score all the Bond films through 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever" and would return for five more films before bidding adieu to the series after "A View to a Kill"). "Dr. No" also relies less on special effects and gadgets, and Bond, not quite as quick with a quip as he would be in the remaining films, is less enigmatic, more like a "policeman" as the title villain calls him at one point, and less the exotic spy. The lack of humor makes this earliest incarnation of 007 more ruthless, more brutal, and the humor would be introduced in an attempt to offset complaints that Bond, and in effect, the films, glorified sadistic violence. "Dr. No" is a memorable debut for modern cinema's most enduring character, and watching it now one can't help but wonder if its creators had any clue that they were giving birth to a phenomenon that is still thriving in the 21st century.

Summary: The First 007 Movie!
Review: Dr. No is absolutely terrific as the first 007 movie. Sean Connery is perfect for the role of James Bond. Joseph Wiseman is great as Dr. No, the villain. Ursula Andress is also good as Honey Ryder. The special edition DVD is very good with lots of special features. The picture and sound is very clear, and it is nice to see the movie in the widescreen format. This is one of the best 007 films.
And in case you wanted to know, the next movie in the 007 series is From Russia With Love.

Summary: Thought to British
