Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying U.S. rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula Andress. She gloriously kicks off the long-standing tradition of Bond women who know how to please their favorite secret agent. A sexist anachronism? Maybe, but this is Bond at his purest, kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing down. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars The Bond That Started It All February 9, 2008
Format:DVD
A landmark film in many respects, "Dr. No" (1962) introduced Ian Fleming's 007 to cinema audiences. Despite the author's initial objections, Sean Connery defined the character of James Bond with his remarkably self-assured performance. Ursula Andress' iconic beauty and Joseph Wiseman's restrained villainy were equally memorable. Thanks to the contributions of director Terence Young, set designer Ken Adam, editor Peter Hunt and composer John Barry, the 007 style was immediately established in this Jamaican adventure. Producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli should be applauded for getting the most out of their limited budget. "Dr. No" succeeds as an unpretentious spy thriller - minus the gadgetry and gimmicks in later Bond outings. The film's impact on popular culture cannot be underestimated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bond on Blu.....at last!!! October 23, 2008
By Nats
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
My comments apply only to the newly released Blu Ray version.
I will not review the film it's self since everyone has no doubt seen it at least once.
I have waited 2 years for the Bond films to be released in a HD format, and the waite was worth it.
The picture quality of this old film is simply awesome. The color saturation, the "depth" and contrast are very film-like.
I felt like I was discovering the film for the very first time.
Watching it on my 60'' display, it looked like I was seeing a brand new, fresh from the lab, film print in my own living room.
And it gets better, I am told (but havent viewed my copy yet) that Thunderball looks even better.
If you are a Connery James Bond fan, and own Blu Ray, this is a no-brainer.
Highest possible recommendation, and Amazon has it for a good price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great first EON outing for legendary spy April 13, 2007
Format:DVD
Outside of Bond fandom very few people know that Sean Connery was actually the second actor to play the character of James Bond. In the 1950s there had been a television production based around Ian Fleming's first spy novel "Casino Royale" in which American actor Barry Nelson had played 007 as a US spy with Clarence Leiter as his British counterpart. Fast forward to the early 1960s and work is once again getting underway to bring the fictional spy to the screen. Cast in the lead role is what one UA executive referred to as a "lorry driver" and with a small budget (a measly $1 million) there seems to be little hope for the fledgling franchise. Yet when Doctor No (the final choice for the first of the series) hits screens it changes the film industry, sending reverberations the likes of which are still being felt today. Staying largely faithful to the Fleming book of the same name (something that was not to last) the rather modest movie set screens afire, helped enormously by the performances of Sean Connery and Swiss beauty Ursula Andress. In fact for many, Andress is the quintessential Bond girl, establishing one of cinema's most iconic images as she emerges from the sea in a white bikini). Right away the trademark violence is evident as three assassins murder a British operative and his pretty secretary in Jamaica. The break in communication has the British nervous and they send for their top agent. Switch to a smoky casino in London. And we see the back of a man, his hands moving his cards about the table and then taking a cigarette out of its case. Lighting it he is fully revealed and the trademark line "Bond, James Bond" is heard on cinema screens for the very first time.... Read more ›

This review refers to the MGM Special Edition DVD od "Dr. No"....

How dissapointed was I, when I saw this transfer of this great classic by MGM to Dvd?..REALLY dissapointed. If you already own the VHS..hold on to it for a while longer, even if you see it come on TV you will probably get a better picture and sound quality then you do with this package. I'm not saying it is not a viewable film, just that when you get a DVD, especially one from a production studio like MGM, you expect better. The film itself seems to be in pretty good shape. Even the colors are good. But the picture seemed grainy and the sound was the worst.
With all the great action and music in this film it should have been at least in stereo, 5.1 would be even better. The dialouge was less than good. I had to keep back tracking to hear what I missed and had to keep turning the volume up and down. I've seen alot better on transfers of films much older than even this one is. And there's more...now this may be just my copy, but there was alot of pausing and skipping thoughout the film. I have recently purchased a new DVD player that is pretty state of the art, and any DVD that ever skipped on my old player does not skip now..except this one....Please MGM...try again with this one.

Okay, okay, so now that I got that off my chest... I Love "Dr. No!" The first(of 20) in the 007 series(based on the novels by Ian Fleming), made in 1962 is exciting , full of action and lots of fun. Sean Connery in his first of 7 Bond movies sets the bar for all the ones to follow. And I must also mention that Ursula Andress likewise sets the bar for the "Bondgirl".

We meet James for the first time, where else..at a gambling table, looking dapper as ever in his tux, where he immediatly catches the eye of a beautiful woman who cannot resist him....

James begins investigating, the murder of the agents stationed there and all roads lead to the manical Dr No(Joseph Wiseman), who has secluded himself on a small island and is killing anyone who gets too close. Dr. No is messing with the U.S. Space Program and must be stopped before he can strike.

Once James does get himself onto the Island, he first meets 'Honey Ryder"(Andress), who is a vision as she makes her entrance emerging from the water like some beautiful mermaid. Together they fight off the army of Dr. No's guards,and thwart the impending disater.

You'll meet "M"(Beranrd Lee) and "Miss MoneyPenny"(Lois Maxwell) for the first time in this one. "Q" and all his gadgetry have not made into the story yet. There are the great cars and car chase scenes. You'll get that "Bond" feeling immediatly as the theme begins. And don't forget to look for Jack "Book-em Danno" Lord.

A great start to a great series.The DVD does come with some great extras. I especially enjoyed the featurette about Sean Connery fitting into the mold of the first 007, which was made at the time of the filming of Dr. No.(see tech info for complete list of bonus material.) If your a huge fan and cannot wait for a better DVD to come along then go ahead and have that first vodka martini with James and here's hoping for a new restoration. Enjoy....Laurie Read more ›

The beginning of Bond on the big screen!
I just watched the Blu-Ray and this film still holds up well. Younger viewers may find it lacking in visual effects and whiz-bang action, but this film is built on old-fashioned storytelling values and is nicely paced, with good characterizations. It actually follows Ian Fleming's plot fairly... Read more
