Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a surprising lack o...( read more  read more... )f gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007. In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting and destroying U.S. rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula Andress. She gloriously kicks off the long-standing tradition of Bond women who know how to please their favorite secret agent. A sexist anachronism? Maybe, but this is Bond at his purest, kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing down. --Jeff Shannon

    When it comes to James Bond I am most definitely old-school. This is the one that started it all and, for me, there are few better. With surprisingly few effects and gadgets Dr. No delivers major thrills. Not to mention the iconic shots of Ursula Andress emerging from t...( read more)he ocean in that white bikini (Wow!)

    I've seen all the Bond movies including the unofficial Never Say Never Again and the Casino Royale with Woody Allen. Not reviewing any of them till I re-view them because I can't keep them straight in my head. I've seen this one more than once now, and man, I was surprised how ...( read more)much I had forgotten! There is a lot more to the plot, more of a traditional mystery, than I remembered. It doesn't get a full five stars 'cause there were some things that bothered me. The opening graphic now seems like a rip-off, because the body double with the hat is so obviously not James Bond. The Bond Theme with groovy sixties colored dots blinking around is cool, but then I forgot there are two more songs that you have to wait through before it gets to the story. You have to wait a lot longer still before Bond makes his appearance. Then it gets more exciting and suspenseful. Q was not yet developed and so there are not so many gadgets. Well technically I learned from a special feature that the character of Major Boothroyd who briefly gives Bond a new gun is Q's real name, but he doesn't have much of an impact. Connery shows he is a suave, cool, fit, always one step ahead of the villains kind of spy guy. The dragon tank/tractor thing is ridiculous and Joseph Wiseman and Zena Marshall playing part-Asians is embarrassing. The radioactive protective gear looks pretty silly today too. The design of Dr. No's living quarters and the radioactive laboratory almost makes up for the dated suits. Dr. No's underground chambers, conceived of by production designer Ken Adam, and Jamaica as the exotic locale set the standard for the look of future 007 films. These first Bond girls are beautiful as well.

    Dr. Yes! The first and still one of the best. Ursula Andress coming out of the water is a seminal moment in cinema!

    The first Bond movie and the beginning of my working through all of the Bond films in order of release.

    Quite enjoyed the first half, I liked Sean Connery as Bond, but the second half really dragged.

    The original. Awesome, love the opening song with the three blind mice. Thisovie is what started the Bond Phenomenon, and made the general ouline for a Bond Film.

    The first James Bond outing remains one of the best. There's not as many gadgets as in the later Roger Moore films, and the villian isn't over-the-top. But, the movie is still a fun, suspenceful adventure. Almost 50 years later, Dr. No still holds it's own.

    The original! The Bond movie where it all began! Sean Connery as the original and best (Daniel Craig is best since) James Bond. Even Daniel Craig doesn't encompass fully what the was the original Bond's signature move, The Ass slap. Watch this movie and count how many times ...( read more)Connery slaps a chick on the ass and then ends up hooking up with her. Is this all that needs to be done? Has the mystery been solved? Try it today guys, tell me how it works out!
