In 1962 Sean Connery defined the cinematic James Bond as a tough, charming, and thoroughly professional cold war spy with a license to kill in the lean, hard-edged Dr. No. With Ursula Andress (as the original Bond girl Honeychile Ryder, who makes her entrance in a bikini), Bond battles a renegade supervillain with little more than his wits, his cunning, and his Walther PPK. In Goldfinger (1964) Connery's steely presence helped forge the formula of tongue-in-cheek wit, wondrous secret agent toys created by Q, and megalomaniac supervillains bent on world destruction. Roger Moore brought a light tone and a suave assurance to the series, and in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), he battles million-dollar assassin Christopher Lee, one of Bond's most magnetic adversaries. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), perhaps Moore's finest hour, is a return to the extravagant set pieces and cold war thrills of Connery's pictures and introduces Richard Kiel's steel-dentured Jaws to the series. Timothy Dalton made his second and final appearance as Bond in Licence to Kill (1989), the toughest of the Bond films since Connery's early efforts. Though not a fan favorite, it's a sleek, solid adventure with an edge missing from the Moore pictures. Pierce Brosnan is the latest to take on the 007 mantle, combining the best of Connery's cool and Moore's humor. GoldenEye (1995) is a grand globetrotting adventure with lovely Bond girls and a tough new M (Judy Dench). Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) doesn't recapture that magic mix of action, gadgetry, and romance, but does feature the first Bond girl to match 007 blow for blow: Hong Kong action superstar Michelle Yeoh. The DVD editions of the films each feature audio commentary tracks by the director and key members of the crew, making-of documentaries, and a host of stills, TV spots, and trailers. --Sean Axmaker

Review: Last gasp of the ORIGINAL VERSIONS of the Bond Films--run from the UE and Bluray - Here's the unfortunate thing: MGM/Danjaq basically revised all of these films in 2005 for the Ultimate Edition DVD releases, and subsequent Bluray editions. The Lowry "restoration" process entirely changed color palettes, dramatically altering the color schemes of many parts of the films, removing any trace of filmlike grain, and digital retouching all over the place, conveniently removing wire lines for models and redoing special effects and title sequence opticals 40+ years after the fact. Instead, the new "restored" versions have traded the REAL look of the older films, warts and all, for a sharper, "modern" picture that is removed from how the movies were actually seen when released. Having the opportunity to recently actually see some of these films in their original state--on original Technicolor 35 mm prints in a real movie theater--I can say now that the UE/Bluray versions of these movies are a sham. The worst offenders of the Bond restorations are the new '60s movies versions (although most of the other Bond films also got "redone"), removing all the grain and tweaking colors so that the Connery classics look like "they were shot yesterday" on HD video. But they weren't, and that is the problem--they were shot 50+ years ago on film, in a certain hyper-real, glamorous, larger-than-life style. The newer DVD editions have traded this in for an image that is sharper and "cleaner", but is more muted and "flat" than initially intended as a result. Luckily, you can still grab the movies in these original "Special Edition" versions if you look. There are a few minor transfer issues here and there--speckles and some occasional dirt--but they are minor and barely noticeable, and at the time of their original release, MGM had made new transfers for many of them from the best unretouched elements they had, or apparently ported over a bunch of THX transfers as well minus the fanfare. On a good upconverting player, they look great. Colors are much truer, and various filter effects and opticals, such as in the title sequences or effects shots, look as they did on the original film prints. I've always considered the Bond series fantastic entertainment, as well as a cultural barometer of advancing filmmaking techniques, fashions, and the society of the time. These DVDs, possibly inadvertently, let you see all of that.
Review: A serious presentation for owning the collection - A serious presentation for owning the collection MGM offers a new chance for 007's fans to have the complete collection by presenting the complete collection in three sets (except Never Say Never Again, available at desertcart for $13). I do not agree with various comments from other reviewers complaining about the bad marketing of MGM, since they have already presented the movies in singles and in three sets before. And by presenting them, once again, with improved quality and logic price in three packages, there is no harm at all. What is beautiful in James Bond movies is the concept. The imminent illusion of the "non-reality" in all his movies is something comfortable to every potential viewer. No one would be offended by the unbreakable hotshot imperialist; timely, everybody would enjoy the sophistication, manners and cold-blood brutality of a professional spy (and gentleman) mastering the world and women' hearts. There is always something new in every movie, the sequence of the incidents, the very well woven plots and the presentation of psycho genius personalities or pathetic authoritarian leaders or governments. All are offered in new ways, new places and from different points of view that would necessary put you in suspense. The British sense of humor and the mysterious touch added to the colors of the hero have a lot of show-off in comparison to American-made movies, where heroes are presented from reality and where "nobody care if you believe it or not". My best movies are "Diamonds Are For Ever", "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Die Another Day"; but I always have a reason to watch other titles for the 10th or 20th time (I already saw "Die Another Day" for three times). Probably, it is the best collection ever made to date, so if you believe that action movies are an important part of real Cinema, and that real entertainment is a just aim of it, I believe that you are having a very good chance to have the best of it in a very reasonable price. I am personally grabbing the chance to replace my old VHS collection with this sophisticated DVD one, I started with the first set and I am buying the other two, one in every next month.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bond Collection, Vol 1
*by H***Y on January 23, 2014*

Great set of movies. I like the variety - some older ones and some newer ones along with the different Bond actors. The special features are very interesting. Not sure if it was my DVD player or one of the DVD's but I got some "stuck" spots for a few seconds while viewing - not a big deal, but a bit surprising for a new DVD, IF it were related to the DVD.
