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

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). 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. 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. Former editor Peter Hunt makes a strong directorial debut, deftly handling the elaborate action sequences with a kinetic finesse. --Sean Axmaker

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.

Great deal for the hard code Bond fan

Second of the Dazzling Remastered Bonds is Fabulous Fun!.......2007-06-14

"James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 2", the second volume of the frame-by-frame restorations of the 007 Library, offers an eclectic collection of titles (with 3 actors' final appearances as Bond), and a quality of picture and sound that WILL take your breath away!

"A View to a Kill" (1985), Roger Moore's swansong as 007, is, sadly, the worst of his seven Bonds. Looking far too old for the role, he battles youthful villain Christopher Walken, beds Amazonian henchwoman Grace Jones (which should have, by itself, killed him!), and winds up with staggeringly inept Tanya Roberts...While it's a joy to see Moore work with lifelong friend Patrick Macnee, the Silicon Valley plot is dumb, the action sequences, silly, and you'll wish Roger had retired after "For Your Eyes Only". (1 1/2 stars out of 5)

"Thunderball" (1965), the BIG Bond hit from the peak of the 007 craze, has so MUCH spectacle that it nearly sinks the story! SPECTRE crashes a NATO bomber, using the nuclear weapons to blackmail the world, and it's up to 007 Sean Connery to save the day! Sexy women (Claudine Auger and Luciana Paluzzi), a sneering villain (Adolfo Celi), and glorious Bahamas locations are highlights; the climactic underwater battle does, however, become boring, and the film seems overlong...but Connery is magnificent! (4 1/2 stars out of 5)

"Die Another Day" (2002), Pierce Brosnan's final 007, begins spectacularly (with Bond captured and tortured by the North Koreans), then collapses into silliness (an invisible Aston-Martin???). Much was made of Halle Berry as 007's CIA counterpart, Jinx, but she looks far better than she acts. The weapon is simply a rehash of the "Diamonds Are Forever" laser satellite, and even a terrific, near-superhuman henchman (Rick Yune), can't save this mundane tale. Brosnan deserved a better send-off! (2 stars out of 5)

"The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977), Roger Moore's third 007 outing, is a bona fide Bond classic, reworking the character and plot line into more of a 'Connery' mode. Working with sexy Soviet counterpart Barbara Bach against a fish-like megalomaniac (Curt Jurgens), the film is best-remembered for 7'2" Jaws (Richard Kiel), the best villainous henchman of the entire series. Whether in Egypt, on a train, or in the ocean, Jaws gives 007 Moore all he can handle! (5 stars out of 5)

"Licence to Kill" (1989), Timothy Dalton's second (and last) appearance as 007, is considered a 'lesser' Bond, which is unfair. If you enjoyed Daniel Craig's portrayal as Bond, give this a try, as Dalton goes 'renegade' to take out the drug dealer (Robert Davi) who mutilated best friend Felix Leiter (David Hedison), and murdered Leiter's wife. Hard-edged and gritty, with little of the 007 campiness, featuring future stars Benicio Del Toro and Carey Lowell, this is a Bond far closer to Ian Fleming's vision. Though a box-office failure, it is truly a gem! (4 stars out of 5)

Another 'must' collection for every Bond fan!

Happy Valentines Day.......2007-05-12

License to Kill came with scratches on it, but I didnt open it for too long after I received it, so I am not worried. I havent tried watching it but I cant imagine it wont work. My boyfriend loves these sets. I just bought volume 3 and plan to get the 4th next month.

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's got style and staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to Ian Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's 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. With clever nods to 007's cinematic legacy, Die Another Day makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond will return. --Jeff Shannon

A few choice gems for Toby Stephens fans.......2007-04-25

As a movie per se, this one is incredibly stupid even by James Bond standards. But, those of us who have become Toby Stephens fans after Masterpiece Theatre's "Jane Eyre" can fast-forward through to enjoy the parachuting-into-London scene and especially the swordfight scene, which features Toby in a sleeveless tight-fitting outfit that shows off his fantastic body (yum!). Toby's physique looks something like Gene Kelly's (except Toby's arms and shoulders are more muscular), and his swordfighting is action-movie-worthy yet so graceful it almost looks like dancing (you can see more of it on the extra disc, which breaks down the swordfight so you can see how it was filmed -- lots of fun -- and also on the pop-up commentary on the first disc, where Toby appears in cruddy black sweatpants rehearsing the swordfight, talking about swordfighting, and looking heart-stoppingly gorgeous). The movie also includes a few examples of Toby's superb sneer -- and smile. His other mannerisms in the film appear to have been based on Richard Branson, and an excellent impersonation it is. He delivers the wooden, stupid dialog as well as anyone could (it's not his fault the movie is so ridden with idiodic puns and cliches). Really, you have to feel sorry for Pierce -- he looks so old and lame next to the sparkling Toby. The movie itself isn't worth buying, but the great extras on this edition may tip the balance for us Toby fan-atics.

A Very Enjoyable Bond Film!.......2007-04-12

Ok, so it's not "Tomorrow Never Dies" but Die another Day impresses more than people give it credit for. The action is amazing, the special effects are also very impressive, the acting is great, the music is wonderful, the scenery and backrdrops are stunning... You get the point. Die Another Day really is classic cinema, and it should be apprieciated as so. Pierce Brosnan pulls of a stunning performance as James Bond, and Halle Barry is very good as Jinx.

My only reservation is reccomending this film is some sexual content (much like any other Bond film.)

Bond...James Bond.......2007-02-07

This is a welcome addition to my video collection. It arrived quickly and was as described.

Best of Bond's.......2007-01-28

I saw all of old Bond's. But i'm not very big fan of it: maybe because it's too old for me, or visual effect too primitive (for me as video editor), maybe because actors changes too often.

This movie with Pierce Brosnan is just amazing. Maybe Pierce have just perfect age for role of Bond - i don't know, but he more then any other Bond looks convincing.

The film is exciting, and manages to balance everything out, and while it does include all the usual Bond conventions, there are a lot of different effects used; never before has a Bond film used flashbacks, slow-motion, fast-motion, or overlaying. It makes this one unique, and with the arrival of Casino Royale (that i didn't saw yet), we will see if they are repeated. Halle Berry as Jinx is a welcome Bond Girl, being an NSA female equivalent of James Bond, but the promoters were wrong to claim she is the first.

Think, film nice to see for fans or non-fans of Bond - at least as very good action movie.

Too Far Over the Top.......2007-01-19

The film would have made a better spoof then trying to come off as a serious Bond flick.

From the opening scence where we have Bond and a couple associates ride a monster wave to the car chase on a sheet of ice it is all too much. I would love to purchase a vehicle that does not sopin out on pure ice. Where can I get one? Note how Bond gets wet several times in teh film, yet his hair is always perfect.

I agree with another review on this page, the scene of Bond parasailing on a big wave is a joke and an embarrassment to Bond fans.

Halie Berry is as bad as it gets. Even though she looks good she is such a poor actress I can't enjoy watching her. Perhaps if she just kept her month shut it would work for me.

A big disappointment that Bond did not bed Madonna. There is just something about her that makes it work for me.

Its Not That Bad.......2007-06-09

Actually, the film is quite good. Ive always enjoyed it. I remember walking from the theaters thinking I really liked that. It amazes me that fans take the film so serious and hate it. I can see why though. It is very far out and it feels like what Moonraker tried to do. Im actually not a fan of Moonraker at all. Its my least favorite, so its not like I love this film just because its more far out. I just liked it due to the fact that its very entertaining. I hadnt watched it in nearly half a year and just watched it. I still love it. Die Another Day is just dumb fun for me. Its not to be taken seriously. Its just to let you have fun. Like I said, I can see why other fans wouldnt like it, but I think they just want the film to be something it isnt. So many talk about its CGI shots as well. They are NOT that bad. Ive seen movies made within this year that look awful compared to this. Im sure they werent cheap either. These effects arent nearly as bad as people say. I have seen so much worse. I actually thought they look pretty good. I just always thought that the film was always underrated and deserved more credit.

Looks and Sounds better, BUT.................2007-03-14

The second DVD of "Special Features" doesn't have near as much as the regular release on DVD. The packaging says this DVD has the "Ministry of Propaganda" with original trailers, TV Spots, and Radio Communications.

NEWS FLASH: IT DOESN'T !!!

How annoying !

Return to Science Fiction.......2007-03-13

In 2002 Pierce Brosnan returned for the fourth and final time as James Bond, in the twentieth official Bond film. I enjoyed this film more than "The World Is Not Enough," but less than "Tomorrow Never Dies." I find it interesting that so many Bond fans dislike this movie so much. There are things about this movie to dislike, but this movie has as much going for it as the other Bond movies with a strong science fiction flavor, and perhaps more than some.

This Bond movie begins with Bond penetrating North Korea. However, something goes wrong and North Koreans capture Bond. During the opening credits we see bits and pieces as Bond is tortured and Madonna sings a song from her electronic period (can we say "yuck?"). Soon after the credits are finished Bond is traded for diamond decorated Zao (Rick Yune). Bond is not pleased that he was traded, but is even less pleased that he is being considered a traitor. Bond is not one for waiting for things to happen, so he escapes from custody to discover that he is in Hong Kong.

Bond slowly discovers that Zao and Gustav Graves (Toby Stephens) are somehow linked. Gustav demonstrates the Icarus solar satellite in Iceland, both for its ostensible purpose (providing light in dark regions of the world when needed) and for a far more nefarious purpose. Bond never waivers from his goal, helped along the way by Halle Berry as Jinx, Judi Dench as M, and John Cleese as the new Q.

Several things about this movie annoyed me. I thought Madonna's role in the movie was okay (though others did not think so; read more below). However, her song was annoying. I would have to nominate Madonna's song in this movie as one of the worst Bond theme songs ever. I was also displeased by the CGI used when Bond escapes from being drowned. The escape looked like a video game, and was cheesy by Bond standards. The escape should have been handled in a fashion that did not required animating Bond.

On the plus side, this movie had a lot of cool stuff. The opening scene was filmed for real. The surfers were taken out to the waves on jet powered wave runners which enabled them to ride the big waves. The invisible car was a major coup for the film makers. In fact, the military has been experimenting with techniques to make people and vehicles literally invisible for several years, and though they are well behind Q, one of the approaches is similar.

The CGI of the Icarus satellite was excellent; one of the best CGI spacecraft ever. I enjoyed the car chase between Zao and Bond in the ice hotel. In the making of features there is lengthy discussion of the changes that had to be made to accomplish the car chase. I also enjoyed the fight scene in the laser room between Bond and Mr. Kil (Lawrence Makoare). The robot and laser combination was a stroke of genius, and Halle Berry's peril appeared real.

Last, but not least, is the sword fight between Bond and Graves. Most of the scenes were filmed with Brosnan and Stephens, a tribute to both men's abilities.

This movie edition also includes an array of extras on two discs. There are commentaries, pictures, making of features, and much more. I found it strange that some of the better features from the previous version were replaced with less valuable features. What appears to be most noticeably missing is a feature listed on the box, the "Ministry of Propaganda" from the previous release.

This movie received an incredible 25 award nominations of all sorts from various organizations and countries, winning 5. The only downside was the Razzie Award to Madonna for Worst Supporting Actress, and the Razzie nomination for Worst Original Song. I think this may have been the Bond film with the most award nominations ever, and possibly the most award wins ever.

"Die Another Day" marks 40 years of "official" Bond films. Bond films are a microcosm of western technology, showing what we thought of as high-tech in five different decades. I find it interesting that what we considered cutting edge in the early Bond films has been surpassed by what we have in our homes today. I also find the changes in styles and mannerisms interesting as well. Yet, through it all Bond remains suave and self-assured, seemingly invincible and with vast knowledge and capability. While there are no real supermen of which we are aware, if there were such a being, Bond would have to be one.

Anything but the ultimate.......2007-02-13

Even in a world full of hyperbole, calling this frankly rather shoddy downgrade an `Ultimate Edition' is taking liberties with the language that border on the actionable. Whereas the first 2-disc release of the 20th EON Bond film boasted a huge array of extras, this supposedly new and improved version drops nearly all of them and merely throws in a few scraps of filler instead. Gone is the 76-minute documentary `Inside Die Another Day,' replaced by a couple of shorter featurettes and some video footage of the location scout. And while the excellent 51-minute `Script to Screen' documentary on the difficult screenwriting process previously only available on the R2 DVD is retained along with the `Shaken and Stirred On Ice' featurette, gone are the storyboard-to-film comparisons, multi-angle action sequences, title design and digital grading featurettes, gadget briefings, music video and featurette and even the 8 TV spots a 3 theatrical trailers from the original issue to be replaced by an exotic locations featurette. With so many of the extras being dumped, it's a wonder that the film itself (in apparently exactly the same transfer as previously available) still contains the same audio commentaries and interactive featurettes it had first time round. Frankly, there's no reason whatever to buy this if you already have the original 2-disc release.

As for the film itself, Die Another Day seemed surprisingly impressive first time round but doesn't hold up well to a second viewing for a number of reasons - and not only because Daniel Craig and Casino Royale have taken the series to new heights since. Initially at least DAD seemed to be trying to make one of the series' periodic efforts to take itself more seriously. The pre-title sequence is particularly strong, and the film is plot-led with a good premise that it explores far more effectively than License to Kill - Bond screws up, gets captured and finds his license to kill revoked and has to go it alone. But too many wrong choices are made in the casting of those both in front of and behind the cameras to do it full justice.

Pierce Brosnan is certainly a major problem here, getting lazier in the role far sooner than his predecessors. He takes too much for granted and doesn't seem to be putting much effort into it in the assumption that he's got it down pat, when in reality he's starting to go to seed - certainly he must be the only man to come out of 14 months of torture in a Korean prison chubbier than when he went in, something his tendency to spend much of the opening of the film with his shirt off and hidden under a bushy Monty Python castaway beard only exacerbates.

He's not helped much by his co-stars either: Halle Berry, who seems to become a worse actress with each successive film, really can't handle sass or wisecracks, which is a shame since that's almost all her part consists of, and their initial meeting exchange of innuendoes seems more like eavesdropping a married man picking up a hooker to prove he's still got it than anything else. Rosamund Pike's other fatale femme fares a little better purely on he grounds that, while an extremely one-dimensional performer, to least her limited abilities fit the part. Toby Stephens' villain is a bigger problem. While it's a neat touch that he models himself on an unflattering portrait of Bond's vanity, Stephens actually seems to be basing his performance on Rik Mayall's caricatured MP Alan B'stard from Britcom The New Statesman, and the results aren't pretty - a largely ineffectual screen actor, it's no accident that he needs to don an electronic suit of armour to become a credible foe for Bond in the final punch-up. Curiously, two of the better performances on display come from bit-players John Cleese (pleasingly restrained) and Michael Madsen as a distinctly unimpressed company man. Even Madonna's unnecessary cameo as a lesbian fencing instructor is considerably less painful than her terrible title-song, easily the series' worst. Still, the resulting overly enthusiastic swordfight is okay but would probably have been even better had they hired William Hobbs to choreograph it instead of Bob Anderson (Anderson may have coached Errol Flynn, but only in some of his worst films).

The direction adds to the problems. Lee Tamahouri is a maddeningly variable director, and too often it's his weaknesses on display here. For a series that prides itself on globe-trotting, he has a very poor sense of place (aside from the Iceland scenes, this is the first Bond film that really looks like they were afraid to leave the studio backlot) and his handling of action isn't always effective - indeed, the car chase actually looks like several shots are missing. Still, at least they manage to just about get away with the science behind the invisible car more effectively than the awful CGI that undermines the series' reputation for doing daring stunts for real: along with the occasionally slo-mo or sped up scene intros, it just seems horribly out of place without ever quite ruining the film.

Another big problem is the tone. As the 20th entry in EON's series, the desire to celebrate its heritage threatens at times to overwhelm the film as it becomes increasingly self-referential. With almost every scene having an homage, a prop or an audio or visual reference to a previous movie, it stops being fun and becomes labored long before the halfway point. Bond is feeding off himself so much here that at times it reminds you of one of those animals that, when caught in a trap, gnaws its own leg off. It just about gets away with it, but it gets messy. There's fun to be had, most of it in the first half before it goes all Diamonds Are Forever, but there's still the feeling that this could and should have been much better.

Original DVD has Better Extras.......2007-01-05

The first hour of DIE ANOTHER DAY is very good and we see James Bond get involved in and out of some situations we thought we would never see on the screen. Not since ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE have we seen this amount of engaging insight into the psyche of James Bond. True to the best films in the series, Bond is not infallible but he is resourceful and loyal and will not be deterred from seeing duty and justice served. The second hour reverts to the superhero version of Bond this time aided by gadgets and computer generated effects that defy all credibility. Where I felt this part of DIE ANOTHER DAY failed in the theater and on the widescreen version, it seems to work much better in Full Screen. The film certainly took a curious turn once the story shifted to Iceland. Looking at it closer I just found the action hard to follow. This Full Screen version seemed to clear a lot of that up. I also thought Toby Stephens gave an excellent performance as Gustav Graves up until the story moved to Iceland. Stephens' character faltered once the film made that shift. Halle Berry as Jinx was adequate as a Bond girl. John Cleese as the new Quartermaster looked more at home than many of the other regulars. I suppose Cleese has some of the best lines in this film. Even though his scene is brief it does make a lasting impression. Madonna's cameo as Verity the fencing coach was a pleasant surprise. Also, her main title song went appropriately well with the film's opening. As for David Arnold's score, I'm beginning to think he can't sustain an entire film on his own compositions. He deliberately seemed to stay away from emulating John Barry's style. You have to give Arnold credit for that. Arnold does seem to demonstrate moments of brilliance especially in his love scene compositions but he should follow the rule of "less is more" when it comes to scoring the action scenes. I like the deluxe packaging and since I am a James Bond fan you can give me a DVD with two discs any day. Of all the extras I thought the segment on the location filming of Spain for Cuba was excellent, as was the overview of the digital imaging process. DIE ANOTHER DAY will remain as one of the most discussed Bond films in the series. That's always good for business.

Thunderball, Sean Connery's fourth excursion as 007, upped the Bond ante with the most ambitious adventure--and budget--to date, and turned out to be his most successful venture in the series. George Lazenby, a handsome Australian model with a self-effacing confidence, made his first and only appearance as James Bond in the underrated On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a witty and action-packed adventure that makes 007 history when Bond marries the girl (the lovely and talented Diana Rigg, fresh from her duties as the butt-kicking spy on the TV series The Avengers). Roger Moore brought an altogether lighter tone to 007 with Live and Let Die, softening Connery's rough edges with a more romantic persona as the films became even more exotic. Octopussy, a colorful cold war thriller and one of Moore's better outings, stars Louis Jourdan as a corrupt Afghan prince and Maud Adams (making her second Bond appearance) as the ringmaster of an all-babe traveling circus team that unknowingly carries a nuclear bomb. Christopher Walken hams it up under a platinum-blond hairdo while his Amazon bodyguard, Grace Jones, growls through A View to a Kill, a silly but often visually impressive adventure that made it obvious Moore was too old and stiff to carry on the Bond legacy. No such problem with Pierce Brosnan, whose fourth outing, Die Another Day paired him with sexy American agent Jinx (Halle Berry) to take on a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything.

Good set if you want to see the movie like it was........2007-02-25

I have all three of these original sets. They're fine. I also have all of the Ultimate Edition sets. They're better. If you're an Bond fan, you'll like both. If you're trying to test the limits of your home theater, get the Ultimate Edition, or wait for it to be re-released a third time on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. (whichever one finally wins that battle)

Why is this set so valuable? I really want to know........2006-12-27

I really would like to know why set #3 (and also #2) is so sought after by collectors? I see people pay very high prices for it on eBay, and for #2, as well (but everyone ignores set #1). Is there anything really better here than on the Ultimate Editions now out and at lower prices? What is it that I am not understanding? I really do want an answer tot his.

Good Movie Collection, but..........2006-11-25

Don't buy this set! My comments have nothing to do with the movies. I love all of the Bond movies, but this set is an absolute RIP OFF!!!! I have purchased all 3 sets in this collection, and have bought the Volumes 1 & 2 in the Ultimate Editions (UE'S). After watching the 1960's quality of the volumes in this set and the amazing restoration of the movies in the Ultimate Editions, not to mention the great special features, I can say BUY THE ULTIMATE EDITIONS. For crying out loud you can almost buy all 4 sets of the UE's brand new for the same price volume 3 will cost you used in this collection. I wonder if these reviews here saying this is a "MUST HAVE SET" isn't written buy those who are trying to rip you off selling this at $188. In addition to the poor picture and sound quality in this collection, my copy of "A View to a Kill" had a tiny blemish on the disk causing it to skip like 2 min. of the movie. Of Course, no reply from MGM when I tried to contact them. Anyway, BUY THE ULTIMATE EDITIONS!!!

Probably the weakest of the 3 Special Edition boxsets.......2006-08-19

This boxset isn't bad, in fact it's great. It was the first 007 boxset I got. It's just that it isn't as good as the other 2 Special Edition boxsets. There's one Sean Connery movie here, "Thunderball" (007 hunts SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo, who has stolen two nuclear bombs and is holding the world ransom). "Thunderball" is my least favorite of the Connery movies. The underwater scenes are slow and not that exciting, dragging the movie down. There's George Lazenby's one Bond movie, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (007 hunts down Blofeld, and 007 also falls in love). Lazenby's one movie is one of the best Bond movies, certainly one of my favorites, and is extremely underrated. There are 3 Roger Moore movies, "Live And Let Die" (007 vs. a powerful drug dealer and his voodoo army); "Octopussy" (007 must prevent a nuclear bomb from exploding in a American airbase in West Germany); and "A View To A Kill" (007 must stop a madman from destroying Silicon Valley to increase the price of microchips). "LALD" is a good movie, not Moore's best, but still entertaining. "Octopussy" I don't like very much, the entire movie is ridiculous, even more so than "Moonraker", in my opinion. "AVTAK" is ok. It's silly entertainment, and one of Moore's weakest, but it's still an ok movie. Finally, there is Pierce Brosnan's latest, "Die Another Day" (007 goes up against a mad business man who will use a satellite made of diamonds to destroy the DMZ between N. and S. Korea). Yes, the plot for "DAD" is kind of out there, but it's my favorite Brosnan movie. It's fast paced, exciting, with some futuristic gadgets (but hey, Bond movies SHOULD have fururistic gadgets, or none at all). This boxset only has 6 movies, which is a bit of a letdown, but there was no 7th movie to put in. Overall an ok boxset, good for the beginner fan, as it has a good mix of movies in it (some great, some not so great).

Good Set.......2006-04-08

An overall good set, the movies are a must for any true Bond fan. DO NOT pay $250 for the set. I bought all the movies in the set separately and paid right around $160. I don't know who these yahoos are trying to sell these sets for that much.
