This read is rather like discussing the James Bond films with a friend you don't necessarily agree with, but you can see they do love the series. There are facts, trivia and even reviews for the video games which were created, but a lot of the observations and even Top 10 lists of "the best" are just the author's opinion. There wasn't any conglomeration of a polls that I could see, so I didn't agree with much of the most important points of a film nor the best music themes.

Personally I never found any of the plots "intolerably stupid" nor "pathetic", which are descriptives Bell assigned to some characters and storylines. That's just me. It was different.

I was very disappointed in the book and found it to be a waste of money and time. The description of the book is very misleading and is only one person's opinion of the movies. There are no facts about the movie, only information that you can read on the back of the DVD to tell you what the movie is about. I can visit the website wikipedia or imdb and find out more information about each movie than this book. I bought this book as a gift for a huge James Bond fan and would be way to embarrassed to give them this book. The only place for this book is the trash and one should only pay a couple bucks for it. Not the 12.

The James Bond Movie Guide was written with fans of the franchise in mind. It has detailed reviews for each of the movies, witty quotes, interesting data, and recommendations for video game players interested in playing as 007.
