The Man with the Golden Gun: The British superspy with a license to kill takes on his dark underworld double, a classy assassin who kills with golden bullets at $1 million a hit. Roger Moore, in his second outing as James Bond, meets Christopher Lee's Scaramanga, one of the most magnetic villains in the entire series, in this entertaining but rather wan entry in the 007 sweepstakes. Moore balances the overplayed humor of the film with a steely performance and Lee's charm and enthusiasm makes Scaramanga a cool, deadly, and thoroughly enchanting adversary. --Sean Axmaker

Goldfinger: To own Goldfinger (1964) on DVD is to have at your fingertips the proof that Sean Connery is the definitive James Bond. No one but Connery can believably seduce women so effortlessly, kill with almost as much ease, and then pull another bottle of Dom Perignon '53 out of the fridge. Goldfinger contains many of the most memorable scenes in the Bond series: gorgeous Shirley Eaton (as Jill Masterson) coated in gold paint by evil Auric Goldfinger and deposited in Bond's bed; silent Oddjob, flipping a razor-sharp derby like a Frisbee to sever heads; our hero spread-eagle on a table while a laser beam moves threateningly toward his crotch. Goldfinger's two climaxes, inside Fort Knox and aboard a private plane, have to be seen to be believed. --Raphael Shargel

The World Is Not Enough:Bond 5.0, Pierce Brosnan, undercuts his usually suave persona with a darker, more brutal edge largely absent since Sean Connery departed. Equally tantalizing are our initial glimpses of Bond's nemesis du jour, Renard (Robert Carlyle), and imminent love interest, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), both atypically complex characters cast with seemingly shrewd choices, and directed by the capable Michael Apted. The story's focus on post-Soviet geopolitics likewise starts off on a savvy note, before being overtaken by increasingly Byzantine plot twists, hidden motives, and reversals of loyalty superheated by relentless (if intermittently perfunctory) action sequences.--Sam Sutherland

Diamonds Are Forever: Sean Connery retired from the 007 franchise after You Only Live Twice but was lured back for one last official appearance as James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton keeps the film zipping along gamely from one entertaining set piece to another, including a terrific car chase in a parking lot, a battle with a pair of bikini-clad killer gymnasts named Bambi and Thumper, and a deadly game with a bizarre pair of fey, sardonic killers who dispatch their victims with elaborate invention. Connery retired again after this one but he returned once more, for Never Say Never Again 15 years later. --Sean Axmaker

The Living Daylights: Timothy Dalton made his 007 debut in the lean, mean mode of Sean Connery, doing away with the pun-filled camp of Roger Moore's final outings. This James Bond is ruthless, tough, and romantic. The Living Daylights, set during the thaw of the cold war, begins with the defection of Russian KGB General Koskov (Jeroen Krabb) and his revelation of a Soviet plot to eliminate Britain's secret agent force. Assigned to eliminate Koskov's Soviet boss (John Rhys-Davies), Bond uncovers a conspiracy involving Koskov and an American arms dealer (Joe Don Baker). Veteran series director John Glen's action scenes have never been better--especially the show-stopping mid-air battle on the net of a speeding cargo plane--and he returns the series to the smart, rough, high-energy adventures that made the Bond reputation. --Sean Axmaker

A View to a Kill: Roger Moore's last outing as James Bond is evidence enough that it was time to pass the torch to another actor. Beset by crummy action (an out-of-control fire engine?) and featuring a fading Moore still trying to prop up his mannered idea of style, the film is largely interesting for Christopher Walken's quirky performance as a sort-of supervillain who wants to take out California's Silicon Valley. Grace Jones has a spookily interesting presence as a lethal associate of Walken's (and who, in the best Bond tradition, has sex with 007 before trying to kill him later), and Patrick Macnee (Steed!) has a warm if brief bit. Even directed by John Glen, who brought some crackle to the Moore years in the Bond franchise, this is a very slight effort. -- Tom Keogh

Thunderball: James Bond's fourth adventure takes him to the Bahamas, where a NATO warplane with a nuclear payload has disappeared into the sea. Bond (Sean Connery) travels from a tiny health spa (where he tangles with a mechanized masseuse run amuck) to the casinos of Nassau and soon picks up the trail of SPECTRE's number-two man, Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), and his beautiful mistress, Domino (Claudine Auger), whom Bond soon seduces to his side. Equipped with more gadgets than ever, 007 escapes an ambush with a personal-size jet pack and takes to the water as he searches for the undersea plane, battles Largo's pet sharks, and finally leads the battle against Largo's scuba-equipped henchmen in a spectacular underwater climax. This thrilling Bond entry became Connery's most successful outing in the series and was remade in 1983 as Never Say Never Again, with Connery returning to the role after a 12-year hiatus. --Sean Axmaker

Die Another Day: The 20th James Bond adventure, Die Another Day succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to Austin Powers by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy and worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan is paired with American agent Jinx (Berry) in chasing a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything. John Cleese and Judi Dench reprise their recurring roles (as "Q" and "M," respectively); they're accompanied by weapons-laden sports cars, a hokey cameo by Madonna (who sings the techno-pulsed theme song), and enough double-entendres to keep Bond-philes adequately shaken and stirred. Die Another Day makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond will return. --Jeff Shannon

The Spy Who Loved Me: The best of the James Bond adventures starring Roger Moore as tuxedoed Agent 007, this globe-trotting thriller introduced the steel-toothed Jaws (played by seven-foot-two-inch-tall actor Richard Kiel) as one of the most memorable and indestructible Bond villains. Jaws is so tenacious, in fact, that Moore looks genuinely frightened, and that adds to the abundant fun. This time Bond teams up with yet another lovely Russian agent (Barbara Bach) to track a pair of nuclear submarines that the nefarious Stromberg (Curt Jürgens) plans to use in his plot to start World War III. The Spy Who Loved Me is a galaxy away from the suave Sean Connery exploits of the 1960s, but the film works perfectly as grandiose entertainment. From cavernous undersea lairs to the vast horizons of Egypt, this Bond thriller keeps its tongue firmly in cheek with a plot tailor-made for daredevil escapism. --Jeff Shannon

License to Kill: Timothy Dalton's second and last shot at playing James Bond isn't nearly as much fun as his debut, two years earlier, in the 1987 The Living Daylights. This time Bond gets mad after a close friend (David Hedison) from the intelligence sector is assassinated on his wedding day, and 007 goes undercover to link the murder to an international drug cartel. Robert Davi makes an interesting adversary, but as with most of the Bond films in the '70s, '80s, and '90s--and especially since the end of the cold war--one has to wonder why we should still care about these lesser villains and their unimaginative crimes. Still, Dalton did manage in his short time with the character to make 007 his own, which neither Roger Moore did nor Pierce Brosnan did. --Tom Keogh

Goldeneye: The 18th James Bond adventure was a runaway box-office success when released in 1995, thanks to the arrival of Pierce Brosnan as the fifth actor (following the departure of Timothy Dalton) to play the suave, danger-loving Agent 007. This James Bond is a bit more vulnerable and psychologically complex--and just a shade more politically correct--but he's still a formally attired playboy at heart, with a lovely Russian beauty (Izabella Scorupco) as his sexy ally against a cadre of renegade Russians bent on--what else?--global domination. All in all, this action-packed Bond adventure provided a much-needed boost the long-running movie series, revitalizing the 007 franchise for the turn of the millennium. -- Jeff Shannon

Live and Let Die: Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. This film marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

For Your Eyes Only: After a ship sunk off the coast of Albania, the world's superpowers begin a feverish search for its valuable lost cargo: the powerful ATAC system, which will give its bearer unlimited control over Polaris nuclear submarines. As Bond joins the search, he suspects the suave Kristatos (Julian Glover) of seizing the device. The competition between nations grows more deadly by the moment, but Bond finds an ally in the beautiful Melina Havelock (Caroline Bouquet), who blames Kristatos for the death of her parents. The non-stop action includes automobile chases, thrilling underwater battles, and even a breathtaking tour over razor-sharp coral reefs. But all of this is merely a prelude to 007's cliffhanging assault of a magnificent mountaintop fortress. -- Robert Lynch

From Russia with Love: Directed with consummate skill by Terence Young, the second James Bond spy thriller is considered by many fans to be the best of them all. Certainly Sean Connery was never better as the dashing Agent 007, whose latest mission takes him to Istanbul to retrieve a top-secret Russian decoding machine. His efforts are thwarted when he gets romantically distracted by a sexy Russian double agent (Daniela Bianchi), and is tracked by a lovely assassin (Lotte Lenya) with switchblade shoes, and by a crazed killer (Robert Shaw), who clashes with Bond during the film's dazzling climax aboard the Orient Express. From Russia with Love is classic James Bond, before the gadgets, pyrotechnics, and Roger Moore steered the movies away from the more realistic tone of the books by Ian Fleming. --Jeff Shannon

Dr. No: Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying U.S. rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula Andress. This is Bond at his purest, kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing down. --Jeff Shannon

You Only Live Twice: The film boasts the best of the Bond title songs (this one sung on a dreamy track by Nancy Sinatra), but the movie itself is one of the weaker ones of the Sean Connery phase of the 007 franchise. The story concerns an effort by the evil organization SPECTRE to start a world war, but the not-so-super villain behind the plot is the awfully civilized Donald Pleasence. The thin script is by Roald Dahl (shouldn't we have expected a better Bond nemesis from the creator of mad genius Willy Wonka?), and direction is by British veteran Lewis Gilbert (Alfie). But the movie can't hold a candle to Dr. No, From Russia with Love, or Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

Octopussy: Roger Moore was nearing the end of his reign as James Bond when he made Octopussy, and he looks a little worn out. But the movie itself infuses some new blood into the old franchise, with a frisky pace and a pair of sturdy villains. Maud Adams--who'd also been in the Bond outing The Man with the Golden Gun--plays the improbably named Octopussy, while old smoothie Louis Jourdan is her crafty partner in crime. Two Bond films were actually released in 1983 within a few months of each other, as Octopussy was followed by Sean Connery's comeback in Never Say Never Again. The success of both pictures proved that there was still plenty of mileage left in the old license to kill, though Moore had one more workout--A View to a Kill--before hanging it up. And that title? The franchise had already used up the titles to Ian Fleming's novels, so Octopussy was taken from a lesser-known Fleming short story. -- Robert Horton

Tomorrow Never Dies: Pierce Brosnan returns for his second stint as James Bond (after GoldenEye), and he's doing it in high style with an invigorating cast of costars. It's only appropriate that a Bond film from 1997 would find Agent 007 pitted against a media mogul (Jonathan Pryce) who's going to start a global war (beginning with stolen nuclear missiles aimed at China) to create attention-grabbing headlines for his latest multimedia news channel. It's the information age run amok, and Bond must team up with a lovely and lethal agent from the Chinese External Security Force (played by Honk Kong action star Michelle Yeoh) to foil the madman's plot of global domination. Luckily for Bond, the villain's wife (Teri Hatcher) is one of his former lovers and 007 finds ample opportunity to exploit the connection. Armed with the usual array of gadgets (including a remote-controlled BMW), Brosnan settles into his role with acceptable flair, and the dynamic Yeoh provides a perfect balance to the sexism that once threatened to turn Bond into a politically incorrect anachronism. He's still Bond, to be sure, but he's saving the world with a bit more sophisticated finesse. --Jeff Shannon

Moonraker: This was the first James Bond adventure produced after the success of Star Wars, so it jumped on the sci-fi bandwagon by combining the suave appeal of Agent 007 (once again played by Roger Moore) with enough high-tech hardware and special effects to make Luke Skywalker want to join Her Majesty's Secret Service. This time Bond is up against a criminal industrialist named Drax (Michel Lonsdale) who wants to control the world from his orbiting space station. Bond thwarts this maniacal Neo-Hitler's scheme with the help of a beautiful, sleek-figured scientist (played by Lois Chiles with all the vitality of a department-store mannequin). Despite Moore's passive performance (which Pauline Kael described as "like an office manager who is turning into dead wood but hanging on to collect his pension"), Moonraker had no problem attracting an appreciative audience, and there are even a few renegade Bond-philes who consider it one of their favorites. --Sean Axmaker

The Ultimate Bond is the Ultimate.......2007-06-27

If you love James Bond movies, wait, even if you just plain like Bond movies, get this collection. The movies look great and it is fabulous to watch how the character of Bond and the movies themselves evolve. Great for a film class or just someone who wants a lot of fun action adventure movies around. Plus at Amazon prices, you can't go wrong.

wonderfully restored movies!.......2007-06-27

We bought this set after reading a lot of reviews that said how nice the movies looked (restored). We were pleasantly surprised that the restored movies exceeded our expectation. The movies are very clean and there are absolutely tons of extras on each DVD.

There are only 2 annoying things. 1) they don't come in chronological order. We just rearranged them, but then you can't quite see the entire title from inside the box. 2) the slim cases were cheaply made. For the price it seems like they should be a little more sturdy.

Because of the slim cases, they don't take up very much room (for 20 DVD's plus extras). We are very happy with the set.

007- Bond, James.......2007-06-26

There's also a seductive villainous with the suggestive name of Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), and the great actress Judi Dench makes her first appearance as Bond's superior, M, who wisecracks about 007's "dinosaur" status as a globetrotting sexist. All in all, this action-packed Bond adventure provided a much-needed boost the long-running movie series, revitalizing the 007 franchise for the turn of the millennium. --Jeff Shannon

Live and Let Die: Roger Moore was introduced as James Bond in this 1973 action movie featuring secret agent 007. More self-consciously suave and formal than predecessor Sean Connery, he immediately reestablished Bond as an uncomplicated and wooden fellow for the feel-good '70s. This film also marks a deviation from the more character-driven stories of the Connery years, a deliberate shift to plastic action (multiple chases, bravura stunts) that made the franchise more of a comic book or machine. If that's not depressing enough, there's even a good British director on board, Guy Hamilton (Force 10 from Navarone). The story finds Bond taking on an international drug dealer (Yaphet Kotto), and while that may be superficially relevant, it isn't exactly the same as fighting supervillains on the order of Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: Australian model George Lazenby took up the mantle of the world's most suave secret agent when Sean Connery retired as James Bond (although Connery returned in Diamonds Are Forever before leaving the role to Roger Moore); Lazenby's subsequent career fizzled, yet this one-hit wonder is responsible for one of the best Bond films of all time. In On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 007 leaves the Service to privately pursue his SPECTRE nemesis Blofeld (played this time by Telly Savalas), whose latest master plan involves a threat to the world's crops by agricultural sterilization. Bond teams up with suave international crime lord Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti) and falls in love with--and marries--his elegant daughter, Tracy (Diana Rigg). Bond goes monogamous? Not at first; after all he has Blofeld's harem to seduce. Lazenby hasn't the intensity of Connery but he has fun with his quips and even lampoons the Bond image in a playful pre-credits sequence, and Rigg, fresh from playing sexy Emma Peel in The Avengers, matches 007 in every way. Former editor Peter Hunt makes a strong directorial debut, deftly handling the elaborate action sequences with a kinetic finesse. Though not a hit on its original release, On Her Majesty's Secret Service has become a fan favorite and the closest the series has come to capturing the spirit of Ian Fleming's books. --Sean Axmaker

Picked up whole collection in one pack - great deal.......2007-06-14

Great deal for the hard-code Bond fan.

BEST of the Remastered Bond Collections, with 3 CLASSICS!.......2007-06-14

While all of the frame-by-frame restored 007 collections are fabulous, "James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 3" is truly the pinnacle, with 3 of the greatest Bond adventures, ever!

"GoldenEye" (1995), Pierce Brosnan's long-delayed debut as Bond, offers a revamped 007 more in tune with a post-Cold War world. With the fabulous Judi Dench as the new 'M', and a new generation of leading ladies (Izabella Scorupco) and villains (Famke Janssen and Sean Bean are standouts), youthful Brosnan, while not as decisive as Sean Connery, shows the characteristic swagger! While the hijacked nuclear satellite plot is derivative, it was great to see 007 back, after 6 years. (3 1/2 stars out of 5)

"Live and Let Die" (1973), Roger Moore's debut as 007, clearly redefined the character as stylishly 'cool' rather than dangerous. Campy, with a silly Voodoo subplot, and a less-than-stellar villain (Yaphet Kotto), the film does offer beautiful young Jane Seymour as the heroine, ridiculous Clifton James as a redneck sheriff, and a plot, somewhere, involving drug shipments to America. Listen to Paul McCartney's title song, then just go with the flow, and you may enjoy Moore, and the '70s 'feel'! (3 stars out of 5)

"For Your Eyes Only" (1981), follow-up to the disastrous "Moonraker", returned 007 Roger Moore to the grittier, more physical films of Sean Connery. A British encryption device is missing, and Bond must deal with a vengeance-minded Greek girl (Carole Bouquet), rival gangs (headed by Topol and Julian Glover), and an amorous ice skater (Lynn-Holly Johnson). Eschewing hi-tech devices, Moore's aging Bond climbs a mountain, gets dragged through a coral reef...and is terrific! (4 1/2 stars out of 5)

"From Russia With Love" (1963), Sean Connery's second 007 outing, is considered by many the finest Bond film. If "Dr. No" provided the Bond 'framework', "FRWL" provided the 'style'; set in London, Istanbul, and aboard the Orient Express, with fabulous villains (Robert Shaw and Lotte Lenya), a sexy heroine (Daniela Bianchi), and, in his final role, wonderful Pedro Armendáriz as a doomed ally, everything is top-notch! A CLASSIC! (5 stars out of 5)

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), the most controversial Bond film, with the most daring plot (Bond marries!), and inept 007 (George Lazenby, replacing Sean Connery). In Lazenby's defense, this WAS his first acting job, and the film had been intended as a powerful finale for Connery; however, Japan's lucrative package deal pushed "You Only Live Twice" ahead, throwing off the series' continuity, and taking Connery out of the picture! Nonetheless, "OHMSS" is a remarkable film, with Diana Rigg, a perfect 'Bond Girl', and Telly Savalas, a truly villainous Blofeld. With it's unique ending, and very human 007, it would have been a classic, whoever played 007...but fans will always wish Connery had made the film (and his absence killed the box office). (5 stars out of 5)

Of all the Bond collections, THIS is the most ESSENTIAL!

Thank goodness for these sets.......2007-05-16

These four JB sets are the perfect way to get your Bond fix in enormous doses. The special features are great and the quality of the picture is unbeatable. My only small quibble is that the setup of the DVD menus is sort of obnoxious, but that seems to be the way of DVDs these days. If you are a Bond fan, or if you have a Bond fan in your home and want to give him an amazing gift (as I did), these aren't to be missed.

Great Package!.......2007-05-12

What a treat to have everything in one group. My husband had some of the movies on VHS, but some of them were next to impossible to find by themselves--now he has them in a lasting format.

Great Collection.......2007-04-05

I loved this collection I have watched it with my entire family. It is definately worth it for fans and novices to the James Bond experience.

License to snooze..........2007-07-01

I don't understand the great reviews that this movie has gotten. I am a huge Roger Moore fan but this was the worst entry in his stellar decade-long run. Everything seems re-hashed in this movie. The submarine plot thing was done in "Spy" as was the ski-slope-shooting thing. The villains are boring and the punchlines are much less witty than in previous films. Even the black jack scene is anti-climactic! And who the heck created that Bebe character? The opening sequence is the only saving grace but even that is not worth the purchase price. And, as another reviewer pointed out, the grand finale leaves much to be desired. If you want the best plot/landscape/villain/action combo of all the Bond movies featuring Roger Moore, stick with "Spy", "Octopussy", "Live" or "View".

Back to the Basics.......2007-06-28

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY would have been the perfect swan song for Roger Moore as James Bond. After almost a decade of Bond films to his credit, Moore was ever frequently inserted into silly story lines more appropriate for a Richard Lester production. The plots were all scenarios that would have gone over well in the 1960s, but certainly not in the intellectual 1970s.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY was a redemption, of sorts, for the franchise. First and foremost, there is a believable plot tied to (what were then) current events. Instead of underwater lairs and villainous plots to destroy humanity from an orbiting space station we have a story about the recovery of a crypto device. Okay, maybe it was a little similar to the story line in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE. If so it certainly brought the story up to date. Secondly there is no mega villain attempting to take over the world. It is really a spy versus spy story. Finally we have a Bond movie where the stunts are somewhat believable. In Summer 1981, when I saw this film for the first time while stationed at Fort Bragg, NC, this was a very refreshing change from some of the prior 007 movies.

Roger Moore started out strong in his first Bond film LIVE AND LET DIE. There too we had a more conventional villain and great down to earth chase scenes. The only part of the picture that strayed from this formula was token insertion of the Kananga'a underground command post complete with shark tank. What is it that Bond villains have against sunshine and fresh air? Still it was a great film packed with action flowed nicely with Sir George Martin's soundtrack.

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN definitely suffered sequel-itis. Once again the film makers felt the need to insert a mega villain. The definition of a mega villain is someone so wealthy, powerful, and imbued with technology that he feels the need to challenge the world. Mega villains tend to make their homes in old volcanoes, caverns, underwater or on abandoned off shore oil platforms. GOLDEN GUN begins with an interesting enough plot: Bond pursuing a high priced hit man. Unfortunately the story evolves into an effort to destroy a solar powered laser housed in a cavernous lair. To its credit there are some good moments in GOLDEN GUN and it was great to have John Barry back scoring the movie.

From fair we went to just pure bad with THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. Fantastic pre-credit skiing sequence. Great theme song. After that it is all down hill. Barbara Bach as a Bond girl -- yes. Bach as a top Soviet intelligence agent -- no. Much akin to YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, we have a mega villain sending out a ship to swallow NATO vessels. The difference is that the villainous ship is an oil tanker and the NATO vessels are nuclear submarines. The talented Kurt Juergens, who was great as the U-Boat commander in THE ENEMY BELOW, is reduced to a rich crank who loves the sea and hates humanity. The theft of the submarines story would have been okay, but the goofy-looking underwater complex put this film over the edge. Another loss to this movie was that John Barry did not score the soundtrack.

How can things get worse? They did with MOONRAKER. MOONRAKER was a STAR WARS wannabe -- two years too late. It changed Ian Fleming's original story of a mad scientist's plan to launch a rocket against London into a battle between space shuttles, a mega villain's lair in a space station, and biological warfare. The pre-title sequence was good. Unfortunately Richard Kiel reprised his role as Jaws. In MOONRAKER Jaws is essentially a live action version of Wile E. Coyote constantly being foiled by the Roadrunner (Bond).

Among Jaws' survivals:

1. A free fall thousands of feet from an aircraft without a parachute.
2. A horrific cable car crash.
3. Going over the edge of a tall waterfall.
4. Surviving re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in an unpowered and unshielded compartment of a destroyed space station.

The airplane and space craft special effects were bad. Maybe we were already spoiled by STAR WARS. The boat chase and fight scene in Venice was good, but it was just one superiour vignette of an otherwise poor film. John Barry's score was good, but the theme song was hardly a toe-tapper.

Immediately following MOONRAKER there were very strong rumors that Roger Moore had retired as 007. Therefore it was surprising in 1981 when theatrical trailers ran FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. This was definitely a back to basics Bond film. The pre-title sequence had less altitude and was followed by a great hit song. John Barry's music was missing from this volume, but Bill Conti (THE RIGHT STUFF, NORTH AND SOUTH) score was very credible and flowed nicely with the film. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY was truly a case of Bond's license renewal.

Beautiful tour and topflight Bond.......2007-06-09

Old Roger Moore looks more puzzled and bemused compared to the newer Bonds, but this is a great Bond movie. The scenery of the Greek islands, the Meterora mountaintop monastery, Italy (Cortina) and Spain is breathtaking, as is the underwater work filmed in the Bhamas. Of course, in reality, if they were really diving to 400 feet, all would be pitch black, and you would see nothing but their flashlight beams, but why quibble. Topol is teriffic, and almost steals the show. I can just taste the pistacio nuts. The Citroen 2CV vs. Mercedes sedan gun cars chase (through the fig groves of Spain) is a hoot. All in all, a nice coda to the Cold War--nobody wins. "I don't have it, and you don't have it--that's detente." The color and sound restoration are excellent, too.

One of my favorite of the series...Moore at his best.......2007-04-08

There wasn't much further 007 could go as far as sci-fi wizardry and fantastic characters after the cartoonish MOONRAKER that had seen James Bond propelled into space.
What was called for was a `back to basics' approach that emphasized realism, exotic locations, less gadgetry, down to earth villains and a return to the ruthlessness that Roger Moore had exhibited in movies such as THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. What better way for the filmakers to return Bond to his roots than to tap into original Fleming source material.
Taking characters and situations from not only the Fleming novel FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, but also the keel-hauling sequence from LIVE AND LET DIE writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson wove together a complex and enticing cold war spy drama that included some of the staple setpieces underwater and on the slopes that had served the character so well in the past.
As the late John Brosnan noted in his review of the movie this production is essentially one long chase, but in the one solitary tip of the hat to the fantastic plots of the previous two movies, here the stakes could not be higher. Those stakes are the fate of all the British nuclear missiles in the polaris fleet. Forget the kidnapping of a few nuclear warheads in previous movies, here the balance of nuclear brinksmanship is at risk and ultimately the fate of the world.
This movie sports several of my favorite characters from the entire EON canon. Topol plays a brilliant, amiable Greek smuggler named Columbo and the good natured trust and friendship between him and Roger Moore's James Bond is clearly evident in every scene they share together. Noted British television actor Julian Glover plays Greek mercenary and chief villain Kristatos and I love the understated mannerisms and menace that literally oozes from every line. The movie also has one of the series most beautiful women with the appealing Carole Bouquet and this particular Bond fan had a huge crush on Lynn Holly Johnson who portrayed the chipper Bibi Dahl. Add these elements together and place it against the backdrop of the Italian Alps and the Adriatic and you have one of the best entries in the series.

Roger Moores Best........2007-06-16

Not only is For Your Eyes Only Rogers best, its one of the best Bond films ever made. The film has a far more serious tone that had been lacking for a while in the bond series. I believe the best 2 factors of the film to be Moores great performance and the films score. Moores 5th outing as Bond shows him fully comfortable in the role and he never looked or acted better. He is most certainly suave and relaxed here. More so than any other film he ever did for the Bond series. The scenes with Bond and Melina, played wonderfully by Carole Bouquet, are some of the best scenes from the whole series because they feel real. Those scenes show a good chemistry between Moore and Bouquet. Also very well done is the score. Bill Conti's score is really really awesome. He gave the scenes so much energy. For instance, the gun barrel sequence at the beginning of every 007 movie, here its very energetic and it sounds so good due to its fast pace. There is also some very good stunts and effects here. One of the better Bonds because there is so much less to make it look dated. This film has aged absolutely wonderful. Its still hard to believe it was made in 1981. This is always been one of my favorite movies from the James Bond series. Check it out.

Another Excellent Bond.......2007-03-13

It seems that the quality of Roger Moore's Bond films was up and down continuously. After the silliness of "Moonraker" I wondered whether Moore was going downhill. As it turns out the follow up to "Moonraker" was one of the best Bond films ever. In this film Moore plays a serious secret agent in the tradition of "From Russia with Love," which is perhaps the closest previous Bond film in tenor to this film.

The plot of the film is from the heart of the cold war. A British spy ship is off the coast of Albania gathering information when it is accidentally sank in a bizarre accident. Included on this ship is the A.T.A.C. system, which is capable of launching submarine ballistic missiles. The British government doesn't know whether the ship's crew was able to destroy the A.T.A.C., so they try to find the ship.

Soon we meet one of the best casts from any Bond, including the stunningly beautiful Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock, daughter of ocean archeologists that attempt to locate the ship for the British government and are murdered. Julian Glover plays Aristotle Kristatos, as coldly evil as Christopher Lee in "The Man with the Golden Gun." The equally evil Topol as Columbo aids Kristatos. Working with Bond is Michael Gothard as Emile Locque, a smuggler but a Greek patriot as well. The only point of silliness in the cast is the inclusion of the lovely Lynn-Holly Johnson, who was incredibly effective with Robbie Benson in "Ice Castles."

Bond struggles figuring out who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, aided by Melina all the way. Moore's Bond in this film is serious with minimal one liners, as close as Moore ever got to Sean Connery. The gadgetry is minimal with much of the action focused on Moore in one of his most physical roles. The scenes flow smoothly, with good action throughout while keeping a plausible story line.

While I usually find a lot to complain about regarding the technical aspects of Bond films, in this one I'll only point out one obvious flaw. Melina talks about how she has been around the world with her parents as they have investigated underwater archeological sites. Clearly Melina is an expert diver as we see in several scenes. Yet when Bond and she go looking for the A.T.A.C., Bond explains patronizingly to her regarding the air mix they'll use and other details regarding the dive. Melina should have been an expert in this area, but in order to show how knowledgeable Bond is he explains what should have been obvious to Melina. A minor point that was only minimally distracting.

Following the tradition of Bond films, the music for this film was by then mega-star Sheena Easton, filmed with bare shoulders during the opening credits. The opening credits for this movie were not nearly as inspired as the movie itself, but another minor point given the excellence of the movie.

Most Bond films are enjoyable to watch, even when they are silly. Fortunately this one is a good spy film with Roger Moore at the peak of his game. This Bond film is one of the best of the 20+ Bond films and worthy of having in any film collection.

Enjoy!

For Your Eyes Only.......2007-02-26

One of the most revered of the Roger Moore Bond stints, this film starts with the much-maligned Bond vs. Blofeld mini-meet teaser. Blofeld is back for about seven minutes trying to kill Bond by trapping him in a radio-controlled helicopter, only to see Bond outsmart him one last time. This is considered a stupid start to a superior Bond outing, but I have to say I really don't mind it; Bond clinging to the outside of a wildly careening helicopter, completely at the mercy of his old foe, makes for an exciting deathtrap. I also like the fact that Blofeld uses Bond's visit to his deceased wife's gravesite against him, since, of course it was Blofeld who had her killed. The teaser is horribly ruined right at the end when Bond, who gains the advantage at the last second and has his wife's murderer at his mercy, starts throwing out joke lines, and is entirely too whimsical given the situation. And Blofeld's final bit of dialogue is awful.

Enough about the teaser (and let's skip over Sheena Easton's image being allowed to invade the opening credits), onto the film proper: it's undeniably terrific as a more realistic approach to Bond. The plot is still slick and streamlined, with lots of fun twists, explosions, car chases, gorgeous women, ritzy and/or exotic locales, assassins, gadgets, and breathtaking stunts. So. Where then does the realism come in? It's, uh, well hmm, it's rather difficult to pin down at first, but would become, I think, more apparent if watched on a double-bill with Die Another Day.

In For Your Eyes Only, many of the extended action sequences are slowed down to create tension, rather than over-the-top action. I think back to the lightning fast jump-cutting all throughout On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and then I think of the simmering tension of the mountain-climbing mayhem near the end of For Your Eyes Only. Before that, there are three watery deathtrap sequences in a row for Bond to survive: hand-to-hand combat with a thug in a deepwater diving suit 400 feet below, where movement is slow and awkward; next, a mini-sub duel involving two unwieldy vehicles; finally, a keelhauling sequence where villain Kristatos pulls Bond and his lady of the 80's across the same coral reef three times just to spill enough blood to lure in the sharks. There is, about all this, a strangely unhurried pace that should continuously drag the film down--make it a dull Bond flick. But it doesn't. If movement underwater, and climbing a tall mountain while the bad guy tries to scrape you off the side, are keynotes to the script, you might as well find a way to make it work, by sacrificing loud super-speed for trembling tension. Then they praise you for realism in Bond, so you can't lose.

Anyway, the plot is splendid. Bond gets manipulated by the villain into chasing the wrong man, while the actual head creepo closes in on A.T.A.C., a revolutionary surveillance system that sank off Albania in a spyship disguised as a fishing trawler. He wants to sell it to the Russians so they can use it against its British makers. When he murders a man named Havelock just to prevent him from getting to A.T.A.C. first, his beautiful (are you shocked?) daughter picks up a crossbow and targets revenge. Carole Bouquet is one of my favourite Bond ladies, and of course Bond thinks so too once they meet, though he's troubled by her bloodthirstiness.

Final word: it's one of Roger Moore's best Bond films, though it is not as thrilling or outrageous as most other 007 extravaganzas. Moore is suave, if perhaps a little underwhelming at times; he seems quite assured in the role here, and it's somewhat delightful that the army of trained killers he wades through in this adventure can't ruffle him half as much as the young flirtatious figure-skater who jumps in his lap every chance she gets. For Your Eyes Only is a classy, seamless production that I enjoy every time I power it up.

More or less Roger's finest hour.......2007-02-19

For Your Eyes Only is showing its age a bit now. At the time a hugely welcome return to basics after the leaden FX spectacle of Moonraker (the second remake of You Only Live Twice in a row for the series), it still holds up as one of the best of Roger Moore's Bonds, but its faults are much more apparent than they once were. Among them is the tendency to undercut everything with unfunny little jokes (a scoreboard keeping count of thugs Bond knocks out, Bond giving a bemused royal wave to pursuing thugs, and a horrendous cameo from a Maggie Thatcher lookalike in the end), some flat studio work (no disguising the fact that the mountaintop Greek monastery is just a Pinewood set), a dated Bill Conti score and a comic relief nympho nymphet Lynn Holly Johnson constantly throwing herself at a disinterested Bond. Luckily, the pluses more than compensate - a stronger plot than usual for the Moore efforts, at least one cold-blooded murder, and a very welcome absence of gadgets until the postscript that ensures that Bond has to extricate himself with his own wits in some pretty good setpieces. Best among them is a mountaineering sequence where he uses his bootlaces - not steel bootlaces, just common bootlaces - to save himself in an old mountaineers trick.

Although the original DVD wasn't the most fully loaded disc on the market, there's less of an upgrade in terms of extras than meets the eye on this 2-disc 'ultimate edition.' Alongside Roger Moore's new audio commentary there are two deleted scenes, one of them a welcome addition that brings a bit of tension to Bond and Melina's relationship as she chastises him over his nocturnal activities, but the three new featurettes are little more than fairly raw behind the scenes footage while the multi-angle alternate versions of Bond's cold-blooded killing of Loque are particularly badly laid out. The menu also lists the 3 slight variations on the theatrical trailer carried over from the previous edition as TV spots!

Back to Basics.......2007-01-06

After James Bond's outer space adventure and other outrageousness, 007 returns to earth. Roger Moore tries getting a tougher image in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. John Barry is once again absent and Bill Conti is brought in to score. It seems to have all worked but the film does seem to run out of steam near the end.

Roger Moore IS James Bond.......2007-01-06

Returning to a more reality based story Roger Moore is James Bond once again. This film ties its itself to where ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE left off. Bond has some unfinished buisiness to take care of in the pre-title squence and then this Cold War plot takes off from there. There is a lot of action and Bill Cont's score works well with it. This is the one Roger Moore Bond film that fits in with some of the best.

Q provided 007 with the fastest, most maneuverable vehicle possible: the world's smallest jet the Acrostar..........2006-12-31

A British fishing trawler/surveillance ship, on duty in the Ionian Sea, is sunk by an old World War II mine caught in her fishing nets...

Lost in the wreck is a top secret missile launching device which soon becomes 'something of value' in a characteristic British-Russian confrontation...

007 is seen caught in a cold-blooded feud between two Greek ex-partisans... He has to recover a transmitter that could fall into the wrong hands... He is sent to climb up the cliffs below an abandoned monastery complex, and is aided by a vigorous and decided sharpshooter whose expertise with a crossbow proved vital...

Throughout the mission 007 is aided by the brave Melina Havelock, a perfect Bond heroine determined to avenge her parents at all costs... Melina Havelock is a combination of Tilly Masterson from 'Goldfinger' and Domino from 'Thunderball.' Melina comes upon a much bigger plot, involving 007 and a Russian-British race to regain the A.T.A.C.

As Bond, Roger Moore finally gets his hair messed up, and more... He is at the mercy of a bald figure in a wheelchair who controls his destiny; chased by ski-borne motorcycles; assailed by spear-carrying fishermen and unlucky hockey players; attacked by sharks and enemy divers; tied up and dragged behind a boat along the sharp corals...

The film succeeds in introducing many mysterious characters... Three of them are:

Milos Columbo (Topol) who becomes the incarnation of Bond's old friend Kerim Bey... Known as 'The Dove,' Columbo is a pistachio-chewing Greek smuggler, ex-resistance fighter, and casino owner on the Greek island in the Aegean Sea... Between him and Kristatos, there is blood feud dating back to World War II, when both fought the Nazis as resistance fighters on Crete...

Ari Kristatos (Julian Glover) who manages to hide his treacherous nature behind a veneer of sophistication... Kristatos comes across as the most believable Bond villain in years... He introduces himself as an enthusiastic Anglophile who was a resistance fighter during the Second World War, and apparently uses Bond to murder his smuggling rival while scheming to please the KGB...

Bibi Dahl (Lynn Holly Johnson) who would do anything for Bond! She is the American figure-skating prodigy who meets 007 in Cortina D'Ampezzo, where at one point was invitingly in 007's bed...

Hate and revenge play significant part in this twelfth James Bond film... "For Your Eyes Only" follows the adventure and exotic appeal of earlier Bond movies like 'From Russia with Love' and 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. The result is a delightful spy adventure with plenty of intriguing characters, plot twists, and romance...

The best entry of Moore' s cycle.......2006-12-10

Many fans of Moore consider it the best of his cycle as 007. And there are many reasons to support it; spectacular chases, sumptuous locations, the presence of the fascinating beauty of Carole Bouquet, the undeniable fact the main title has been one of the four best song of the series (From Russia with love, Thunderball and Goldfinger) and the first incursion of this funny steeled teeth giant.

Anyway, you will never be disappointed.

Sean Connery casts a long shadow over the James Bond legacy. He created the movie persona and starred in six of the first seven features, all but establishing the cool cold warrior as the world's most suave secret agent. The second Bond collection celebrates the Connery Bond with three of his classics, including From Russia with Love, 007's second and perhaps finest outing. A blond, buff Robert Shaw plays Bond's most ruthless nemesis, and Lotte Lenya and the great Pedro Armindáriz costar in this sleek, high-energy trip through the Iron Curtain. Connery travels to the Far East in You Only Live Twice, which introduces the international criminal conspiracy SPECTRE and its cat-loving mastermind, Blofeld (Donald Pleasence). After a brief retirement, Connery returned for Diamonds Are Forever, his final "official" appearance in the Bond series (15 years later he played Bond for a rival studio's Never Say Never Again). This more tongue-in-cheek adventure takes 007 to Las Vegas, where he battles Blofeld (this time played by Charles Gray) and his minions--namely, a pair of fey, sardonic henchmen and a team of bikini-clad karate killers.

Roger Moore took over the role and his fourth effort was Moonraker, a misguided sci-fi entry that takes Bond to space for a physically impressive but dramatically lackluster adventure with Richard Kiel's steel-dentured Jaws. After that brief digression, For Your Eyes Only returned Bond to globetrotting high adventure and teamed him with his most endearing ally (Topol as a gregarious smuggler). The torch was passed to Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights, an attempt to clear away the camp elements of Moore's portrayal and return to a lean, hard-edged spy thriller for the post-cold war era. It lacks the larger-than-life characters and spectacle of previous Bond pictures, but Dalton was a tough, ruthless 007 and a worthy inheritor of the legacy, which was then passed on to Pierce Brosnan. In The World Is Not Enough, Bond takes on post-Soviet geopolitics, with Robert Carlyle as the villainous Renard and Sophie Marceau and Denise Richards as love objects.

Good Set, but Wow $$$$.......2006-11-29

Let me start off by saying that this collection has some good points. Those good points are From Russia with Love, a great Sean Connery movie, For Your Eyes Only which a pretty good Roger Moore film, and (many may disagree with me on this one) my favorite Brosnan Bond, The World is Not Enough. The other films in this collection are ok, but I don't think there is any film in the Bond series that I really dislike. Now that being said, DON'T PURCHASE THIS SET. I don't know who the people are that are reviewing this with 5 stars and saying great low price, but I wonder if they are the ones trying to sell them. My problems with this set is the picture and sound quality. They are what you would expect on a movie from the era each film was produced. The older Connery Bond movies look like your watching them on 1960's film. The other problem I have with these sets are the prices. To purchase this set used will cost you about $170, the price new is over $200. There is no reason to pay that much for this set. I would recommend if you are looking for the Bond collection to purchase the Ultimate Editions (UEs). The movies have been restored so picture quality is great. The UEs are also set in 5.1 surround sound, and the special features are great. Also the price of the UE compared to this set is a lot better, when you consider that you can purchase all 4 of the UE for about the same price this Vol 2 will cost you. In sort if you want the Bond movies, buy the Ultimate Editions.

3 Repeats in This Series!!!.......2006-09-04

I just bought James Bond Collection, Vol. 2 for my brother and much to my surprise found that THREE of the titles were also in Vol. 1 of the series (which he has). What a rip-off! Paid over $100.00 for 3 new discs. Very disappointing.

A great mix of Bond movies.......2006-08-19

This is my favorite of the 3 Special Edition boxsets. For one thing, it's got 3 great Connery movies: "From Russia With Love" (007 tries to get a Russian decoding machine while surviving a SPECTRE trap); "You Only Live Twice" (007 in Japan must take on SPECTRE, which has been kidnapping spaceships to start war between the USSR and the USA); and "Diamonds Are Forever" (classic Connery 007, in Las Vegas tracking a diamond smuggling trail that leads to Blofeld). I find all those Connery ones entertaining, and YOLT and DAF are two of my personnal favorites, both very entertaining and with great settings. Next, there are two Roger Moore flicks: "Moonraker" (007 goes onto a space station to stop a madman from destroying the world); and "For Your Eyes Only" (007 must recover a stolen piece of technology). "Moonraker" is a bit silly, but I'll admit I find it to be entertaining and I enjoy it more than most Moore films. And "FYEO" is my favorite Moore film, the most hard edged and realistic. There's also a Timothy Dalton film, "The Living Daylights" (007 must stop a group of Soviet renegades from smuggling heroin). It's Dalton's first film, and he's my second favorite, next to Connery. Dalton's Bond is more dark and serious, yet "TLD" is still a good thriller. Finally, there's Pierce Brosnan's third outing, "The World Is Not Enough" (007 tries to stop a nuclear sub exploding and destroying much of the world's oil supply). "TWINE" is one of Brosnan's best, certainly better than his first two. Overall this boxset contains some of the lightest Bond movies, and some of the darkest, offering a good variety of styles and a good variety of Bonds.

Holy be-jesus..........2005-11-19

For all the positive reviews, am I the only one who noticed that the cheapest you can get one of this box set for amounts to over $25 a movie? Maybe its just because it the holiday season and due to the amount of shopping impressed upon me at this time of year, but it occurs to me that this is rather outrageous.

JB Ultimate Edit... mi6.co.uk.......2005-09-21

For any James Bond fan. If this superb collection of James Bond DVDs weren't enough for you; there is good news coming your way. SONY and MGM are planning to re-release all twenty(20) of the James Bond Movies to DVD in (what they're calling) The James Bond Ultimate Edition DVD Collection.

Extra special features? Brand New Documentaries and new special bonus material; plus cast and crew intervies from the past 42 years. Including rare and previously seen footage from the productions. Also newly added, Roger Moore has just recorded his commentary tracks for his seven bond films.

I just can't wait. Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan (my favorite Bond) coming back to DVD in the best action spy adventures; the best collection yet.

So they're out next year in 2006. Probably October, with the release of Casino Royale who'll once again being directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye). Theatrical Release Date October 19th, 2006.
