VHS Movie Reviews of James Bond 007 Collection Volume 3
Movie Review: James Bond Collection Vol. 3, VHS
Summary: 3 Stars
Not a bad collection of Bond material, however, this is a mix of various Bond movies with a variety of leading Bond actors. I recommend looking into the 1996 Collections that have the videos in chronological order and primarily by actor. JAMES BOND 007 Collector's Set, Vol. 1 includes all six Broccoli-produced Sean Connery Bond films, to include a 1995 documentary video. JAMES BOND 007 Collector's Set, Vol 2 includes all seven Roger Moore films and Timothy Dalton's first film. Although these sets are out-of-print, they are still available as used and collector's sets through Amazon.com's Marketplace. If you're like most fans, you'd prefer to have the movies that include your own favorite "leading-Bond-man"!Movie Review: Great Collection, but buy the new set
Summary: 4 Stars
The studio has just re-released this James Bond set three so don't buy it from the scalpers here wanting two to three hundred plus dollars. Amazon will be selling the new re-release Set three as of November 17th. My advice to you is you can buy all three new re-released sets for what the scalpers here want for just this one older set three. The set itself is great. Some of the best James Bond movies are in this set. The picture and sound quality are great and they include many extra features. You can get the new sets for under ninety dollars.Movie Review: Bond NO.3
Summary: 4 Stars
The third collection of the James Bond series has some of the best of the films, and in contrast, some of the not-so-good films. Starting off with DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER with Sean Connery as Bond, this one is somewhat lacklustre in comparison to the early 007 films, but there's still some fun to be had with some cool car chases through Vegas and an ensamble of menacing villians. The second entry into the Bond franchise, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is brilliant entertainment taken from Ian Flemming's best novel. Everything clicked in this one after the sometimes shaky DR NO (Due mostly to the increase in budget), from Connery's commanding performance, to some gripping action and the late, great Robert Shaw as a ruthless assasin. Gadgets, cool action and the entry of Q, played by Desmond LLewelyn. Masterfully constructed, FRWL is one of the greatest films ever made. Following Roger Moore's long list of films, Timothy Dalton made his debut as the charming secret agent in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. While the action is impressive, the film falls short of having any meaty villians. But Dalton is much closer to the mark with the character of Bond in Flemming's books. His performance, restrained at times, is a more cold portrayal than Moore. OCTOPUSSY is one of Roger Moore's better films, but John Glen's ham-fisted direction leaves the film with little in the way of inventive action. Last but not least, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Connery is good, but not up to his usaul standards. This collection, while impressive, is perhaps best suited for hard-core fans rather than action buffs.
Movie Review: Bond, James Bond
Summary: 4 Stars
Probably the best James Bond movie of all was "From Russia With Love". At least if you like spy movies with a shred of reality. During the Cold War of the early sixties this film was true to character and had believable undercover operations. With Goldfinger (not in this set) they got more high tech and the believability started to go out the window. I am not saying they weren't entertaining, just not as believable as the original Ian Fleming books or Tom Clancy movies. The rest the movies in this set are okay but nothing special. Dalton was okay but no Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan. Roger Moore was loosing his touch and it shows. I never thought they should have hired him after The Saint TV series in the first place. This is a good set but it is not available at this time. Amazons price is reasonable and I am sure this will be back on their available list in the next few months if you can wait. I have talked to several retail stores and they were instructed to pull copies of all James Bond movies off the shelfs by MGM. The movies are not out of print as some would have you believe. I have heard a couple stories as to why it was pulled (i.e. daughter of someone involved with picture rights is not satified with percentage, defects in quality of the DVDs, or new movie coming out so they want movies off the shelf to stimilate interest but they will be back on shelf in September). What ever the reason there are far to many fans for this not to be back out on DVD sometime very soon. Don't spend more than what Amazon charges for a new copy or you are paying to much. Wait and buy it from Amazon so you won't kick yourself for being impatient and paying a scalper. Don't buy it here, go to where the new James Bond sets are being sold by Amazon. They are under ninety dollars.Movie Review: Horrible set
Summary: 2 Stars
This set os aboslutely horrible. Not only do you get the awful "Diamonds are Forever," but you get the even more awful "A View to a kill." The others are so-so. "You Only Live Twice" gets my vote fore most action in a Sean Connery/Bond film, but the plot leaves something to be desired. "Octopussy," is pretty good, and deserves a good 4 stars. Some good stunts and acting, but Moore is getting really old. (He was 56 when he did "Octopussy" and 58 when he did "A View to a Kill") "The Living Daylights" is OK. Timothy Dalton is good, as is the car he has. "From Russia With Love" is undoubtedly the best in the set. In this DVD we get Sean Connery, good acting, action, sets, suspense, everything a bond film needs that I can't think of. all in all: don't buy this. go buy From russia with love sperately in stead
Summary of James Bond 007 Collection Volume 3
Sean Connery casts a long shadow over the James Bond legacy. He created the movie persona and starred in six of the first seven features, all but establishing the cool cold warrior as the world's most suave secret agent. The six titles in MGM's third collection celebrate the Connery Bond with three of his classics, including From Russia with Love, 007's second and perhaps finest outing. A blond, buff Robert Shaw plays Bond's most ruthless nemesis, and Lotte Lenya and the great Pedro Armind?riz costar in this sleek, high-energy trip through the Iron Curtain. Connery travels to the Far East in You Only Live Twice, which introduces the international criminal conspiracy SPECTRE and its cat-loving mastermind, Blofeld (Donald Pleasence). After a brief retirement, Connery returned for Diamonds Are Forever, his final "official" appearance in the Bond series (15 years later he played Bond for a rival studio's Never Say Never Again). This more tongue-in-cheek adventure takes 007 to Las Vegas, where he battles Blofeld (this time played by Charles Gray) and his minions--namely, a pair of fey, sardonic henchmen and a team of bikini-clad karate killers.Octopussy, a colorful cold war thriller and one of Roger Moore's better Bond outings, stars Louis Jourdan as a corrupt Afghan prince and Maud Adams (making her second Bond appearance) as the ringmaster of an all-babe traveling circus team that unknowingly carries a nuclear bomb. Christopher Walken hams it up under a platinum-blond hairdo while his Amazon bodyguard, Grace Jones, growls through A View to a Kill, a silly but often visually impressive adventure that made it obvious Moore was too old and stiff to carry on the Bond legacy. The torch was passed to Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights, an attempt to clear away the camp elements of Moore's portrayal and return to a lean, hard-edged spy thriller for the post-cold war era. It lacks the larger-than-life characters and spectacle of previous Bond pictures, but Dalton was a tough, ruthless 007 and a worthy inheritor of the legacy, which was then passed on to Pierce Brosnan.
The DVD editions of the films each feature audio commentary by the director and key members of the crew, "making of" documentaries, and a host of stills, TV spots, trailers, and other supplements. --Sean Axmaker
