Summary: "That's a Smith & Wesson...You've had your 6..."
Review: 007's unforgiving farewell to hapless Professor Dent--before dispatching one of Dr. No's least nefarious henchpersons--reveals a ruthless charisma in the original BOND, JAMES BOND. It would be reprised only once more in FROM RUSSIA with LOVE. Viewers interested in seeing archetypal 007...most faithfully capturing Ian Fleming's fictional super spy...will enjoy this First James Bond Film Adventure for the unique thriller it was and remains.Sean Connery's BOND set standards for the screen hero who achieved mythical status in the most successful franchise of all time.What this original lacks in spectacle...its $1 million dollar budget is legendary as the movie...well-compensates with suspense and danger. DR NO's battle-array of beautiful women has never been surpassed. Joseph Wiseman's title adversary is worthy opponent equaled only by SPECTRE's Blofeld for megalomanical evil. The Jamaican setting is rich; the plot--no mere concatenation of car chases--is engaging. The final fight...on an atomic reactor gantry sinking into a roiling pool of irradiated water while a Dr. No sabotage-jeopardized NASA rocket blasts-off...is a classic few 007 climaxes (or any adventure)match for sheer excitement. DR NO is definite "yes" for Bond fans. Viewers who might enjoy introduction to one of the best heroes of popular fiction and cinema (NOBODY DOES IT BETTER) couldn't do better...

Summary: Oh grow up,007
Review: STOP!!!!And just think.Why did I just buy or am about to buy a bond movie without Q and without the good stuff from him.
If you like women like Ursula Andress get it but if you're strict like me,I say to you, doctor,
NO!Avoid this piece of scrap if you can.This is the most over-rated movie.It's a bad debut.Connery,boy was FRWL
way better.And so was every other movie.But nooooo,fans of 007, you just went too far and rated it so high it hit the bell....>Now that you know that you've ripped yourself off buying this
Bond...BAD Bond,take it back and ask for a refund and buy a
more effective and action-packed 007 like FRWL or GF,anythang but this...

Summary: Dr. Good
Review: Dr. No Has Some Exciting Parts To It. But All In All It's A Not Good But Not Bad James Bond Movie. I Agree Seeing The Living Daylights Or Octopusst Instead.

Summary: Zena Marshall was the real star of this film.
Review: Marshall has largely been not mentioned in the history of the women that 007 has romanced over the years. Her charecter, Miss. Taro is only in a few scenes, but even though she plays a villian role, one gets the idea that after she kisses 007, she might have reformed and become part of the good fight. James often had that effect on women....

Summary: Dr. No needs no doctoring
Review: Dr. No is a great first bond film. The settings stand alone in this great atmosphere of a film. Eunice Gayson is the first bond lady and one of the most beautifull, wish she had been in all the Connery bonds. Jack Lord was the first and best Felix. The 57 ad 61 chevys at the films beginning are classic to the era. Wish the car that went off the cliff had been the one that was following Connery, look at the headlights on each car.

Summary: Well Worth Finding the DVD
Review: I owned this title on VHS and on laser disk, and neither compared to the quality of this DVD version. The sound is typically great, but the picture sharpness and color depth surpassed my expectations. The special feature documentaries/biographies aren't the usual movie trailer drivel - they are well worth watching. That's the case for buying the DVD.
What's the attraction with Dr. No? Watch this movie and you'll know why Casino Royalle is seldom referred to as the first Bond movie, even though it pre-dates this feature. Things to watch for? No gadgets, in fact very little high tech anything. This was the platform from which the movie 007 was launched - this is where the Bond persona was formed. He's suave, he's sophisticated, he's Bond. But there is one difference in the Bond character of Dr. No as compared to the subsequent Bond films. James is more arrogant is his manner. Watch the way he interacts with his subordinants and co-workers. Don't believe me? Just watch for the beach scene where James orders Quarrel to fetch his shoes. Of course he still can't extend such an attitude towards "M," even when being forced to trade in his beloved Beretta for his soon to be trademarked Walther PPK.
Bottom line? If you don't have this title, you don't have a Bond film "collection." And if you're going to do it, spend the extra dollars for the DVD. Then start looking for what is arguably the best 007 film of them all - From Russia With Love.

Summary: Dr. No. started the Bond series well
Review: Although I only ranked this #13 of the 19 Bond films (between TMWTGG and FRWL), this movie could not have brought a better start to, in my opinion, the greatest movie series of all time. All the elements of a great Bond film are present, including great locales, action, a beautiful Bond girl in Honey Ryder, and an evil villain, Dr. No. The only aspects that could have used a little work were the gadgets and the music (I started getting sick of the "Underneath the mango tree" song), but it was to be expected that the first movie in the series would be lacking in those categories. Joseph Wiseman was an excellent villain, although the context of the movie did not allow us to see him enough. Ursula Andress paved the way for future Bond girls with her terrific performance as Honey Ryder. And Jack Lord may have been the best Felix Leiter of the entire series. One of the best parts of the movie was when Bond put the pillows inside the bed to make it seem as if he were in it. Shortly thereafter Proffesor Dent came and shot the pillows, startled to realize that Bond was not actually in the bed, but sitting in a corner of the room. Bond then proceeded to shoot Dent right before Dent could kill him first. Although I ranked it in the lower half of Bond films, there could not have been a greater start to the series than Dr. No.

Summary: Connery, Sean Connery
Review: Bond....James Bond. The words that immortalised one of cinema's best action characters, Sean Connery (and his 'velvet' women) blast onto the screen in the first Bond movie. Approaching the role with all the style and panache that the character in Ian Flemming's novels had, Connery is on a mission in the Bahamas, where he and the sultry Ursula Andress join to uncover the dark secrets of Dr NO. The film itself is not perfect (the slender budget shows particuarly in th middle section) but when Connery's on screen, you simply sit back, and watch the movie that started it all....

Summary: Thats what I call 007!!!
Review: Dr.No is one of my favorites in the James Bond series. A very well acted movie with Sean Connery being the most excelent 007 ever. If you haven't seen the 1st see it now. It's a good movie to start out the James Bond movies.
