Dr. No description Amazon.com essential video Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | every bond film imitates the complete excellence of this, first, one |
| This is the one that started it all, and in many ways it was never surpassed: sure, the plots became more intricate and spectacular and the effects slicker, but this one set the pattern for all the rest. The thing that is most fun about it is that you can feel the raw newness, before it became a plodding formula. Even several later continuations with Sean Connery are not nearly as good.
The essential Bond elements pioneered in this one are Bond's charm and easygoing sexuality with the flawless girls that seem to flock to him, his elegance, his cold-bloodedness and efficiency as a killer, and of course, the quirky baddie with oversized ambition and talent for destruction. Perhaps because I saw it at such a young age with my beloved dad, this one is my favorite by far. Dr. No is such an evil, charismatic character, the perfect foil for the dashing Bond, who is a great improvisor and destroyer in his own right. But Connery brings a grittiness and realism to it that all the other Bonds couldn't quite. That makes him the one and only best. Indeed, as this was made for a far less explicit time, it is full of titillating tidbits, implied throughout with understated and very dry humor. This is truly superior to most contemporary spy films, with the possible exception of the Bourne films, which set their own standard. Warmly recommended. |
