James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 3 (DVD, 2009, 10-Disc Set)

If you are a James Bond fan, you can't do much better than these collections. MGM is re-releasing all 20 official James Bond movies (that's not counting Casino Royale) in 4 separate box sets. Each of the volumes contains 5 movies, each digitally remastered with a ton of extras. Now if you only want a certain movie then I suggest you either go to a store, search for that single movie on Ebay or pick out the collection that carries it. Now these collections aren't placing the movies in any particular order. You get a variety of Bonds in almost each collection. You get Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan in all 4 volumes. You get Timothy Dalton in Volumes 1 and 2. George Lazenby arrives in Volume 3. And for all those Daniel Craig fans you're left out in the cold until Casino Royale hits store shelves. Volume 3 contains From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only and Goldeneye. Now I'm not like some 007 fans, I didn't get into the character until Timothy Dalton played the role, and that's because I just knew Pierce Brosnan was going to be the next James Bond back in 1987. (What can I say, I was in the 7th grade and I was a big Remington Steele fan.) So this was a great way for me to see how the character had developed over the years. I had seen Goldeneye prior to getting this volume. The other 4 movies I vaguely remember watching. I don't like watching movies on broadcast television because so many things are cut out due to broadcast standards. I played the From Russia With Love PS2 game so I had an idea of how the movie was supposed to play out. Even so, I still really enjoyed the movie. My favorite one in this volume was Live and Let Die. Seeing James Bond in Harlem, that had to be worth the price of admission back in 1973. And you can see how Jane Seymour might have gotten the Wedding Crashers nickname of Kitty Kat. On Her Majesty's Secret Service, I thought Lazenby did a good job with his turn as James Bond. I really liked how after he gets left on the beach by a woman, he looks in the camera and says "This never happened to the other fellow." Priceless. If you're a fan of 007 or just want to get an idea of what's behind this love of James Bond, then this is a perfect starting point. Even if, to you, Sean Connery is the first and only Bond or you think that George Lazenby should have had a chance to further his take on 007, you'll find something to like in this set. You'll be hard pressed to find a more complete collection of James Bond adventures.
