Movie Reviews of Dr. No [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: A very cool cat.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was seventeen the first time I saw this movie and I liked it not for the way James Bond handled things but really for the way the film was shot. A lot of the scenes were filmed at night which is unusual for just about every movie I have seen. This is important to the series I think. It establishes that cool calm and collected image wrapped up inside a man capable of so much. Its not that this was the first film in the series and deserves credit for birthing it, its that Connery's characterization of Bond in this film is so unique to the series. The movie could stand alone. Even if they never made another Bond film, this was enough. For 1962, wow!! Consider what was going on in the world folks!! I commend the writers and directors for having the guts to make this film.Movie Review: Dr. No (Blu-ray version)
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent conversion from film to digital. I saw the original movie when released in 1962 and this was even better than the theater version when viewed on my Sony KDL-52W4100 TV. The video detail and color rendering was suburb. Sound was somewhat disappointing on my Onyko TX-SR606 receiver with Polk RTi-8 fronts, RTI-A4 center and RTi-A3 surrounds. The dialog sometimes gets lost but in all fairness I may not have had the digital sound processing set up correctly. I rate this as 4 and a half stars for the technical aspects of the conversion of a 47 year old movie from analog to digital but it is overall a five star rating for the movie itself which is a classic. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Bond on Blu-ray... Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased Dr. No & Goldfinger on Blu-ray, and the sound, resolution and colors are better than the original movies shown in theaters. It is the finest version of these two movies I have ever seen. Dr. No was scanned from the original negative, which was in very good shape despite its years of handling and use.
I distinctly remember reading an article in one of the men's magazines, probably True, back in the late 1950s titled, "The Nude of Crab Key." I cannot find any online references to this article, but it must have been done by Ian Fleming as an excerpt from his novel. It would be fun to chase this lead down.
Movie Review: "Dr.No"-Blu-Ray Edition
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought the transfer was great,the image,the sound,all perfect.Too bad this is not an extended,expanded,longer cut, of this classic 007 film, just the regular theatrical version.I saw it at the cinema ages ago,yet in the scene where the 3 "Blind Mice"shoot the woman at Strangway's house,there is a very quick "JUMP CUT",the version I saw showed ALL THREE shoot at her,but this is missing in this home video release,why?!The bonus features are good,but you wish they had included deleted scenes & test scenes.This is the James Bond 007 film that started the long lasting film series,and was Sean Connery's debut as Bond.Recommended.Movie Review: Dr No, Blu Yes
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased the 3 Connery Bond films available on Blu-ray at this point in time, but only watched Dr No so far. I was amazed at the quality of this film (displayed from my Panasonic player for those reviewers that had trouble on other brands). As others have said, if you like these early Bond films, you will really like these films that have been remastered for Blu-ray. I watched the disc special feature that discussed the process they went through to remaster this, it was a lot of effort, with great results. HIGHLY recommended !
