My Review:
Finally got my James Bond set so finally got started! What can i say about this movie? I really enjoyed this, didnt know what to expect really on bluray. But they have done a great job IMO. Both picture and sound wise. And for the movie itself i too really enjoyed it, the story a bit different than the usual "Bond story\arc" but still a pretty decent one. And the lead roles did a great job aswell. And if you have in mind the movie was made in 1962, amazing! And Sean Connery as Mr.Bond, also perfect. I think he might be my favourite James Bond actor. Great movie, great start! Cant wait for the next one!
Hopefully i will get to that a bit later, if i got the time!
But of course, highly recommanded!

Welcome to this marathon! I have added you to the table in the first post.

[Piffi]

Thank you so much Tom! Really appreciate it

And Sean Connery as Mr.Bond, also perfect. I think he might be my favourite James Bond actor.

No doubt about it, Connery is an awesome Bond. I will say something a little controversial though! I honestly think that Pierce Brosnan was the best Bond - he just happened to not get given the best Bond movies (apart from Goldeneye). Brosnan really got shorted IMO and is certainly the most underrated Bond so far.

[Piffi]

You know, i actually like Pierce Brosnan as an actor.. But its so many years ago since i watched him as
James Bond, that i dont remember much. But i liked him in Goldeneye. Looking forward to watch all the
James Bond movies again.

My Review:
Well, this one has some of the same elements as the first movie. They are starting of strong with this franchise, and here too they have done a great job with both the picture quality and the sound. Very good! The story was an ok story, but the movie was a bit slow at times. The train ride, nothing much happend really, until the end of the train ride. Could done alot more there IMO. But Mr.Connery does a great job again as the special agent! Still a solid peformance by all involved! Cant wait to start on the number 3 
Hopefully i'll get some James Bond in tomorrow aswell!
Its soon October, and then its a month break from James Bond!

I agree with most of what you said.  Brosnan was very good as Bond.  I remember wanting to see him in that role very much.  Sorry to see him lose the franchise.  But Daniel Craig is bringing his own stamp to it now.  More physical action than Brosnan.

But still ... there really is only 1 Bond, and that is Sean Connery.  Maybe it is because I grew up with him in the role or just maybe he is the best actor for the role.  That is what I like about THIS forum .. people can have different opinions.

I saw this one when it first came out.  I think my mom turned me onto the books and man was I excited.  I remember the train scene very well .. and at the time it seemed very intense .. what was going to happen etc.

I often wonder, when I watch older films that have times like this, have we become so jaded that we really need something happening all the time? 

Sorry .. just watched the shower scene from Psycho .. oh my .. and a little blood washes down into the drain .. swirling ..

Where was I .. oh yeah .. the need for action

From Russia with Love will always be one of my favorite James Bond movies.

Nice reviews
Btw, there is a rating tag which will automatically use the correct smiley.
Just press the icon in the "Post reply" dialog und insert a number from 0 to 5 inside the "mr" brackets.
Just noticed it again, that we have 0-5. Which means you can map your 1-6 ratings after all.

My Review:
Well, i've been doing a mini James Bond marathon yesterday and today, and got 3 movies in. But didnt have any time to review them yet, so i will review them now, starting in order! And this time James Bond is taking us to Fort Nox of all places! And of course he got to save the world, before his enemy is able to rob Fort Nox and what not. Very good story in this one (IMO) Had the tension trough out it. And to the save the world, JB have to be friends with Mr.Goldfinger himself. But how does he do that? Without blow anything? For me, they had the suspence very well trough out the movie. And Sean Connery was killing it again as 007. So far i think this is his best James Bond movie. A really good one, that i recommand of course you guys to watch. And the picture and sound quality is great aswell! Being that old.

My Review:
So Specter is back huh? So this time he have to travel all the way to Bahamas to get back some warheads. While the "world is held hostage" once again, a real good movie. And ok story, but we've delt with Specter before. So when will this "war" between them end? And how will win? And i have to say that i like what they have done with the technology this around too. In that way, the movies just improves really! Not the best James Bond movie, but still a decent one. A must see of course for every Bond fans out there. Its interesting to see how they improves everytime from movie to movie, and how they do stuff. So far i really enjoy the new James Bond set!

My Review:
Interesting movie indeed! When i first saw the movie and saw the story i was a bit sceptical about it. Either it will be a real good one, or a bit too much! And IMO they managed it just perfectly. And this time James Bond is sent to Japan to avoid WW3, and of course i'm starting to understand that we wont get rid of SPECTRE that easy. Well, even if i dont like SPECTRE that much. I guess i dont have a choise. But a almost perfect Bond movie again. A bit different movie IMO (wich is a good thing!) And Mr.Connery just grows in the part as 007. Yet a great movie!

That was the movies i've been watching yesterday and today. I'll see what i get the time for a bit later.
