Amazon.co.uk Review
They’ve taken their time getting here, but the 007 back catalogue finally makes its bow in high definition, with a broad choice of films to get things started. And where better to start than with the film that started the James Bond saga off in the first place?
Dr. No, starring Sean Connery, is the first of the official Bonds, and regarded by many as one of the best. It’s inevitably quite raw by recent standards (and arguably better for it), but the balance of humour and action is superbly handled, and it continues to endure far beyond nostalgia value. From Russia With Love, also starring Connery, is even better (and this is the 007 film that plenty cite as their outright favourite), pitting Bond up against SPECTRE in an ambitious and outstanding adventure. The final Connery title in the set is Thunderball, which finds SPECTRE again up to no good, holding a city to ransom under threat of an atomic weapon. It, too, is premium Bond, and great to see in high definition.
Next up in the set is a pair of Roger Moore outings, starting with his debut in the role, Live and Let Die. The memorable title song aside, this is an often-underrated adventure, replete with dramatic boat chase, and drug smugglers needing to be taken down. Then there’s For Your Eyes Only, which pits Bond against Julian Glover’s Kristatos in the hunt for the ATAC weapons system.
The final film in the set is Pierce Brosnan’s swansong as 007, Die Another Day, which also introduces Halle Berry as Jinx, a massive ice castle and the oft-mocked invisible car. But it’s a harder adventure than you’d expect, and again, better than it’s given credit for.
It’s been some wait for James Bond fans eager to get their hands on high definition versions of their favourites. And while there are still plenty of Bond movies to make the jump to 1080p, this collection is a great way to get the ball rolling. Let’s hope James Bond will return to hi-def. And soon. --Jon Foster

Format:Blu-ray
Great priced set for those who are just visiting bond movies. The movies look fantastic but sadly Thunderball and Dr No have bad sound tracks. I too have noticed that the volume on the dialogue is very low. i had to turn the sound up only to have my ears blasted when ever there was music as that was on FULL volume. It spoilt my enjoyment of the set and I ended up giving the set away to a friend. I'll buy the indivdual movies on blu ray instead even though i'll be paying more.
I didn't like the slip case anyway, there wasn't even one photograph of bond or anything anywhere! ah well it was at a budget price...

It's good to have them appearing on Blu-ray at last - but why the curious selection? Thunderball instead of Goldfinger? And why do For Your Eyes Only and Die Another Day warrant special treatment? Why not issue the films in order? The packaging is neat and will take up less shelf space, but the non-sequential issue means no more impressive 'from first to last' displays (unless you buy the Blu-rays separately) - and we all waved goodbye to the '007' logo spread across all the spines about 2 DVD re-issues ago. I suppose this will mean that we will have to wait forever for the vastly underrated and visually-impressive On Her Majesty's Secret Service to be Blu-rayed.

I looked at this item when it originally came out but was put off by the price being as they were such old films. Although I loved the films I didn't want to pay a lot of money for something I may watch two or three times more then keep in the cupboard. As the price began to fall then it passed the "this is now worth it" barrier and I'm glad it did. I have always been a fan of Sean Connery as 007 and the quality of these films is just superb. I wasn't sure whether such old films could be given the blu-ray touch but trust me these are excellent. If you are a Bond fan then treat yourself to this box set. You will not be dissapointed.
