How can one single review possibly do justice to what’s on offer in this spectacular Bond Ultimate Collectors’ Set? Contained within it are not only all 21 of 007’s big screen adventures, but also an equal number of extras discs that dig behind the movies themselves. And those extras alone will happily rob you of hour after hour of your life.
What’s more, the Bond Ultimate Collectors’ Set has been brought right up to date by the inclusion of the recent rebooting of the franchise, Casino Royale. This alone is a terrific film, and offers some exciting glimpses into where the franchise can go now with Daniel Craig in the title role.
But let’s not forget the fine actors who preceeded him. The Bond Ultimate Collectors’ Set goes right back to that first appearance of 007 in the form of Sean Connery in Dr. No. From there, enjoy George Lazenby’s sole outing as Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the Roger Moore era commencing with Live and Let Die before arriving into the 80s with Timothy Dalton’s pair of movies in the lead role. The franchise then received another reboot of sorts with Pierce Brosnan in the excellent GoldenEye, before he eventually--and reluctantly--passed the mantle onto Daniel Craig.
What’s so pleasing though is how so many of these films hold up. Not only are you getting a pretty much unrivalled journey through cinema’s most enduring action franchise, there’s also so much to enjoy. Everyone will have their favourites in the Bond Ultimate Collectors’ Set: for this reviewer, count From Russia With Love right up there at the top. And even if that’s not your own choice, there are plenty of other candidates in this superb and highly collectable set. --Jon Foster

One film is missing!!! This is a great box set with the exception that Never Say Never is missing!!! I know not Connerys greatest outing as Bond but it should still be there. It says its all 20 films but prior to Casino Royale the film count was 21.
The complete James Bond adventure Always wanted to add a James Bond collection, but am so glad I held out until now. This is the 'Ultimate' collection, by using the latest restoration process each movie's sound and picture is fantastic; so if you are watching From Russia with Love, Live or Let Die, through to Casino Royle all movies look and sound fantastic; in particullar my favourite Goldfinger. The only downside, which is a very small issue is that the movies are not in order; as they are the four collections and the double disc of... more info
complete? james bond set? It's a nice set, well priced but it's not complete as it doesn't contain 'Never say Never Again' Sean Connery's last outing as James Bond.
Buy Bond and buy hours and hours and hours of pleasure The set is great, compact, neat storage, extras with the set, but what you are REALLY buying it for is the films.
Great family entertainment, we can usually get the whole lot around the tv for these, and it's good clean fun. Well clean enough, anyway.
Buy it for Christmas and that could save a lot of chat to odd bods and sundries who seem to turn up in the lounge over the festive season.
A great classic buy, no regrets from us.
