Rpgcatech Disapointment

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

SN1951bk I wanted to watch the 1962 James Bond film "Dr. No." The link for "Watch Now" is, instead, to an 11-minute video on the making of the film. At best, this is an error. At worst, this is bait-and-switch.

morganstephens512 I thought it was a pretty decent film. Although if I din't know James Bond was a mega franchise, I would have never expected that sort of film to be the start to something this big. I find it odd the credits were only like ten seconds at the end. Sean Connery gave off a pretty good performance, although I guess that is not his best film. The first ten minutes really confused me but after that I sort of started to understand what was happening and I was able to enjoy it after that point. My favorite part of the film was the part when it was showing the spider crawling up his body and he was just laying there is stillness waiting for it to get off him before he reacted. I was also surprised it took 50 minutes for the love interest to show up. I would she would have been in the first twenty minutes. Although I did role my eyes at the black guy dying when nobody else did. Or the villain only being in the last fifteen minutes. Overall, I would say a 8.5/10. It kept me entertained and that was what is important for movies of that type.

ma-cortes Connery's first effort operating with his infamous ¨Licence to Kill¨, Bond goes after the fiends , this time his main enemy results to be the megalomaniac Dr. No . The picture contains comic-strip adventure , sensational pursuits , silly set pieces , great stunts , tongue-in check humor , frantic unstopped action , amazing gimmicks and stimulating images like are the spectacular chases , the overwhelming scenes , and the breathtaking fights . The resourceful , handsome and virile British government agent James Bond (an excellent , as usual, Sean Connery) on loose seeks answers in a case involving the disappearance of a partner and the disruption of the American space program by a weird Chinese scientific (Joseph Wiseman) . Seeking revenge for the death of an operative Bond discovers a mad scientist is sabotaging rockets launching from his hideout in the exotic Jamaica . Bond helped by a CIA agent (Jack Lord) and a native agent (John Kitzmiller) undertakes a dangerous assignment in a strange island run by a diabolic villain from Spectra , (a criminal organization formed by the greatest criminal minds around the world) .This solid , slick thriller contains standard humor , magic mix of action-packed , dazzling stunts , gadgetry , and romance provided by sexy company , Ursula Andress as the gorgeous Honey Ryder ; this film promptly made big stars of him and Ursula . Lots of exciting escapes but not an over-reliance on the gadgets of the later movies . Sean Connery as James Bond is very fine , he does remarkably well , he has toughness , irony , humor and sympathy ; however , he also has coldness , cunning , intelligence and roughness . Sean Connery said that this movie was his personal favorite out of the Bond films he did . Here Bond is an efficient , agile , sardonic , relentless agent trying to chase obstinately a criminal mastermind traveling around the world , this time is mostly set in Jamaica . Bond to achieve his aims , along the way uses violent means , pulling off brutal killings against enemies who wreak all sorts of havoc . As always Bond will use "state of the art" and fantastic gadgets while the Spectre organization goes after him . The action-packed includes : impressive car chase scenes , shootouts , and Bond attacked by a fire-thrower vehicle , tickled by a tarantula , James grilled by some electric fencing , swamped by seawater and nearly atomised in a nuclear pile . This first 007 movie is far less spectacular and glitzy than any its successors , but the action moves swiftly enough to cover the holes in the screenplay written by Richard Maibaum . Dr. No¨ boasts one of the sexiest and most delectable ¨Bond Girls¨ of them in Andress who stunningly walks out of the waves in a white bikini . Other Bond girls here appearing are Zena Marshall and Eunice Gayson . Furthermore , a lot of notorious secondaries as Anthony Dawson , Bernard Lee as M and Lois Maxwell as MoneyPenny .Lavishly produced by the regular producers , Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman , they didn't want James Bond's main enemy to be Russian , so for the film version his nemesis is the fictitious criminal organization Spectre . Riveting and fancy main titles by habitual Maurice Binder ; furthermore , eye-popping production design by Ken Adam and Syd Cain . Unforgettable musical score with immortal and catching leitmotif by Monty Norman and John Barry . It's brimming with colorful and fascinating cinematography by cameraman Ted Moore . Evocative photography , much of the film was shot on location , with only a bare minimum of back projection used ; something quite unusual for a film of 1962 . The motion picture was well directed by Terence Young and followed by ¨From Russia with love¨ whose budget was $2,000,000 , double that of ¨Doctor No¨ . Young was author of three best James Bond films : ¨Dr No¨ , ¨Thunderball¨ and ¨From Russia with love¨ and directed to Audrey Hepburn in a good thriller titled ¨Wait until dark¨ and a failed film titled ¨Bloodline¨.

sqdb This film was the first official Bond film to hit cinemas back in 1962. It kick-started Sean Connery's career, introduced the world to the cinematic James Bond and is, to many people, a truly iconic and important film...Okay, let's get straight to the point. Dr No is not a great Bond film or even a great film in general. I know that a great deal of people have a special place in their hearts for this film and I respect that. However, modern audiences may hold an entirely different opinion of this film. I know that a lot of people may not agree with my opinion and that is their choice, but I still maintain that this film is nowhere near as good as most of the Bond films that were to follow.There are some good points about Dr. No, though. Everyone knows about the "spider" scene and Ursula Andress looks great in that iconic white bikini. Sean Connery has also never looked cooler as Bond as he was in this film. The film also introduced audiences to the now instantly recognisable James Bond theme, which is first heard over the starting credits. It is also used several times throughout the film.However, I think the negative points outweigh the positives. The film is now hopelessly dated and I think it has dated more than any other Bond film. The portrayal of the black characters can also, in some ways, be seen as stereotypical and even borderline racist. Bond's "fetch my shoes" line to Quarrel never fails to make me squirm with embarrassment. There are also very few action sequences and no stand-out set-pieces. I also believe that Dr. No, although worthy of a viewing, would not stand up to repeat viewings, as it is simply not entertaining enough. Even the Roger Moore Bond films are more entertaining than this and yes, I do include Moonraker.As I mentioned, this was Connery's first Bond film and I know, to many people, he will always be the ultimate Bond. I do agree with that, up to a point. However, even he made some real stinkers as Bond. Goldfinger, in my opinion, is vastly over-rated and not much better than Dr. No in terms of entertainment value. Thunderball is too long and is the most boring Bond film, in my opinion, due to the long and slow underwater scenes. I am not even going to comment on the execrable Diamonds Are Forever...So, to sum up, Dr. No is a film firmly of its time. I would imagine it had much greater impact when seen in cinemas for the first time back in 1962, but I just don't think it has stood the test of time very well. I would recommend a viewing for any serious Bond fan, but they will probably find that one viewing is enough. Connery made much better Bond films than this, so I would instead direct people to check out either From Russia With Love or You Only Live Twice. I find these films endlessly watchable. I give Dr. No four stars, because it was a ground-breaking film, but very far from the best of Bond.
