I will not lie about the fact that I'm skewed towards rating 007 films high because I'm in love with them. I try to rate them as films and take my personal love out a bit, but I know that I can't do that 100%. However, I do think Dr. No certainly is a quality film. This is a hell of a way to start off a franchise that has lasted 50+ years now. Particularly, I love the first two acts, as it really shows Bond as an agent and how he does his stuff fairly realistically. The thing that knocks it back just a bit for me is the final act being a bit less exciting, but if I am honest with you I don't mind it too much. I've watched this one many times. It might not be my #1 pick to watch, but if it is on TV I probably won't change the channel.

A fine movie, made on a shoe-string budget that accomplishes what it was meant to do- ably and properly introduce James Bond to an international audience.

This the first Bond movie is surprisingly gadget free and expectedly entertaining. Sean Connery is the embodiment of the Bond character. Ursula Andress is an island goddess as Honey Ryder and Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No is memorable even though he's barely in the film. The lair of Dr. No is beautifully designed by the great Ken Adam. I recently rewatched this movie on the newly released BluRay disc version and it looked spectacular. It looked like the movie was a recently filmed 1960's period piece.

I can’t say how many tones I may have watched this movie. This time, it’s presented from Blu-ray and seems to take in a visual appearance better than ever I still think Dr No should have played a bigger part and should have had time to terrorise a little more

A good start to the franchise. Sean Connery is an excellent James Bond. He is confident and very charismatic. The action isn't the best but it is serviceable. Dr. No is a decent villain just wish we got some more time with him. His underground lair was super cool. All of the sets were unique and interesting.
