Movie Reviews of James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set

Movie Review: The definitive DVD Bond Set (before Blu ray)
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the definitive James Bond collection set. All of the movies are remastered and each includes a bonus disk. These are basically all the movies that you'd get in the individual sets and includes all the movies except Quantum of Solace.

This review is intended for those of you who might have grown up, like me, watching James Bond movies on television. I must say that I was stunned when I put in the DVDs from this set. What I found was that the TV versions of the movies had been trimmed and cut for commercials and the TV movies were not the enhanced editions. What I found was that the movies from this set had much richer colors and that they contained so many scenes that had been cut from the TV editions that it was almost like I was watching an entirely new James Bond.

It was a real pleasure getting these and watching these. I have to say that this is probably one of the best exports from Great Britain. Without a doubt the Broccoli family who owns the franchise has their finger on the pulse of the American public and has adjusted the James Bond character to be appealing to the audience of the times.

Its virtually impossible to write a short review about this series because there are so many movies that stretch over several generations. If you don't know, James Bond is 007, one of the Double "Os," which are Great Britain's highest level operatives in MI-6 (an organization that is so secret that it encourages British nationals to apply but to never tell anyone that they've applied), Great Britain's equivalent to the Directorare of Operations within the CIA. In effect the Double "O's" have license to kill in the service of the Crown if they deem it necessary. James Bond is 007 and the most famous of the Double O agents who always gets involved in the highest level cases.

The themes to the movies are pretty standard: Huge Odds (earth threatening sometimes, Cold Warish, Nuclear, terroist, Technological, Madman etc) + Gorgeous Women + Exotic locations around the world + Alcohol + Gambling + Smoking + High Technology + Cool Cars + Gorgeous Women + a Tuxedo + Sense of Duty + Double Agents + CIA agents + Guns + Lots of Action + Some S*x + Romantic settings and you get a James Bond Movie.

James Bond has been played through the ages by several actors who reflect the culture and "coolness" of the era...sophistication of Tuxedos, martinis and high end gambling casinos in the 1960s to Rippled Musclebound Thug Stud in the 2000s. To me though, I prefer my Bond sophisticated and debonaire vs the almost thuglike and (transporter stathamlike) qualities that the newest bond has -- but the new Bond is a hit with the younger people (they got it right). To me though Sean Connery will always be the perfect Bond and I must say that Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore kept enough of the suave sophistication to the character that was very appealing to me.

Still -- Bond will always live forever and I'm glad I have the set.

Blu-ray will likely be released at some point in the future but I have to say that this DVD set is masterful.
