Amazon.co.uk Review
Theyrsquo;ve taken their time getting here, but the 007 back catalogue finally makes its bow in high definition, with a broad choice of films to get things started. And where better to start than with the film that started the James Bond saga off in the first place? pemDr. No/em, starring Sean Connery, is the first of the official Bonds, and regarded by many as one of the best. Itrsquo;s inevitably quite raw by recent standards (and arguably better for it), but the balance of humour and action is superbly handled, and it continues to endure far beyond nostalgia value. emFrom Russia With Love/em, also starring Connery, is even better (and this is the 007 film that plenty cite as their outright favourite), pitting Bond up against SPECTRE in an ambitious and outstanding adventure. The final Connery title in the set is emThunderball/em, which finds SPECTRE again up to no good, holding a city to ransom under threat of an atomic weapon. It, too, is premium Bond, and great to see in high definition./p pNext up in the set is a pair of Roger Moore outings, starting with his debut in the role, emLive and Let Die/em. The memorable title song aside, this is an often-underrated adventure, replete with dramatic boat chase, and drug smugglers needing to be taken down. Then therersquo;s emFor Your Eyes Only/em, which pits Bond against Julian Gloverrsquo;s Kristatos in the hunt for the ATAC weapons system./p pThe final film in the set is Pierce Brosnanrsquo;s swansong as 007, emDie Another Day/em, which also introduces Halle Berry as Jinx, a massive ice castle and the oft-mocked invisible car. But itrsquo;s a harder adventure than yoursquo;d expect, and again, better than itrsquo;s given credit for./p pItrsquo;s been some wait for James Bond fans eager to get their hands on high definition versions of their favourites. And while there are still plenty of Bond movies to make the jump to 1080p, this collection is a great way to get the ball rolling. Letrsquo;s hope James Bond will return to hi-def. And soon. --emJon Foster/em/p

Bond looks amazing in Hi-Def Blu-ray October 29, 2008

If you're after saving some space on the shelf and a little bit of cash over buying the individual releases then this is what you want. The packaging is a competent fold out digipack style. The films themselves look excellent in High Def. Some people say there's not much improvement over the recent UEs. However the extra detail is apparent, of course it is. There's only so much upscaling DVDs can get you. The set is encoded for regions A,B,C.

Clearly great action 007 May 11, 2009

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.

007 - complete new and astonishing October 6, 2009
J. Lange (Berlin)
There is a documentation on the first disc which shows the work MGM did on the old films. It shows how accurate they worked on it. Every single frame was scanned by 4s per frame. After this time-killing procedure every frame was conditioned. First of all they divide the material regarding the recording technique, outdoor shots, indor, on stage and so one, because its very different from the colours and even from the film substrate. They want to harmonize the whole movie and it payed off. br /I've never seen a 007 in this quality. br /Absolutely thumb up
