Movie Reviews of From Russia With Love
Movie Review: It Will Take 43 Years To Get Any Better Than This
Summary: 5 Stars
From Russia With Love hit the nail directly on the head. Not only would I call this Connery's best Bond, but I would also say it is one of the most exciting action films ever made.
The problem with some of the old Bond movies was that they could get rather campy. From Russia With Love does not have this problem at all. With an interesting yet simple plot it allows for much more character, character development and nail biting action to be added to the film.
Robert Shaw is brilliant in this, he plays an outstanding assassin. The train fight is probably my favorite of all time. Also Rosa Klebb and Tatiana both make great female characters.
This one is really where Connery shines. It's almost as if Dr. No was really an experiment and they simply just got it right this time. This is one that you can watch over and over and still enjoy.
From Russia With Love is nothing more than a fine wine; it gets better with age. 9/10
Movie Review: Your clock, is it correct?
Summary: 5 Stars
Ian Fleming got a clue from Lord Byron: the English (and English-speaking) love an English hero, especially when the hero is English somewhere other than England. Hence the bachelor pad exotica of 007, Cold War swashbuckling, dressed to kill with a license to charm. This time out, there's more of everything that's good about Bond: high class dames, fearsome bad guys (especially Lotte Lenya), awesome explosions, maniac chases (by car, helicopter and boat), rough 'n tumble fisticuffs (in an enclosed space, a trademark of the series), neato gadgets ("standard issue"), dangerous travelogues, labyrinthian stratagems, outlandish escape routes and the usual spy vs. spy bonhomie. Dialogue is popping! Director Terence Young provides satisfying symmetries throughout, including the lethal wire not to mention the back-to-back briefings. Supporting cast, editing, music, location filming, you name it: it's drop dead gorgeous. 1963 was a very good year.Movie Review: Awesome image quality

The May 2007 release; MGM ...
I first saw Goldfinger in Chicago at the Granada theater in 1964 - it was awesome for a 12 year old to see a film like that back then - on a huge screen. After that, I eventually was able to see both Dr. No and From Russia With Love. I've always wanted these first three JB films for my DVD collection and just picked up Russia and Goldfinger after reading the reviews on these newer releases. Just finished watching From Russia and it's probably the best DVD image quality I've seen from a movie of that era - it is simply staggeringly good with amazingly rich color. I'm assuming that Goldfinger will be as good and after seeing this, I'll definitely pick up Dr. No and probably Thunderball.
Movie Review: From Russia With Love
Summary: 5 Stars
This stylish second entry in the Bond franchise features a less cold-blooded, more dashing 007, played to the hilt with campy savoir faire by the ever-classy Connery. Young streamlines the action, too, and in the absence of fancy gadgets (those came later), gave audiences thrilling, well-orchestrated chases and clashes, culminating in a heart-racing death match between Connery and deadly, dyed-blond assassin Shaw aboard the Orient Express. The kittenishly seductive Romanova is fetching as Bond's dicey love interest, but German chanteuse Lenya has the most fun springing poisonous blades from her shoes. Racy, exhilarating, and loads of fun, "Love" breathes flashy new life into Ian Fleming's classic novel.Movie Review: Simply The Best...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched all the Bond Movies up to the QOS...This includes the non-Eon movies (Casino Royale 1967, Never Say Never Again) and From Russia with Love is the best! From the opening sequence Sean Connery provides a side of Bond that will never be matched. Daniela Bianchi is simply stunning in every scene she is in. Lotte Lenya plays a great villian as does Robert Shaw. The villians really make you believe that Bond could die. All Bond films try to make you think that Bond doesn't stand a chance, usually they fail. From Russia with Love builds the characters so greatly that you simply don't know until the end. Great Movie, Highly Recommeneded!
