This review is from: James Bond Blu-ray Collection [1962] (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…

This review is from: James Bond Blu-ray Collection [1962] (Blu-ray)
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.

Great Picture… In Two Films Bad Sound,
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.

|But why not in order?,
