Great movies (2009-01-07)
Customer Review : 3
Loved the movies, but was a little disappointed with how long it took them to arrive. However, when they did finally arrive, they were in perfect shape, nothing broken or mishandled. I suppose the only other thing I wasn't happy about was the fact that the movies included in each box (I also got the other 3 volumes) weren't set in chronological order, but I can't hold that against the vendor. Overall I'm pretty happy.

Bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He loved it. We spent all vacation watching the movies, they're very good and fun to watch.

Aspect Ratio? (2008-12-25)
Customer Review : 5
There is actually a question for those that have already watched these movies. I just got Volume 1 for Christmas and am thinking of buying volumes 2,3,&4. I have a 50" Plasma 16x9 1080P Panasonic TV. I noticed that the aspect ratio on these DVD's is 240:1. Does this mean that it will not fill the screen top to bottom and side to side? How big, or annoying, are the black stripes on the top and bottom?
The optimum aspect ratio for the 16:9 screens is something like 1:78:1. Is this set available in this format?
I have HD service from my internet/TV provider (FIOS) and have become spoiled by being able to watch all the movies they broadcast in HD in a format that takes full advantage of every square ince of my plasma TV.

Even the not-great ones are still pretty good! (2008-07-20)

Welcome to Volume 1 of the Ultimate James Bond DVD collection!

This first one contains five films. One, "Goldfinger", is the best of the franchise. The others... well, they're at least tolerable (though there's a scene with a slide whistle in "The Man with the Golden Gun" that's completely inexcusable).

You can get these movies seperately in single-disc form, or you can do what I did and buy this collection! Not only do you get all the movies in pristine new transfers, along with 5.1 surround, but you also get a second disc for each movie loaded with more extras than you can imagine. Behind-the-scenes stuff, rare outtakes, radio ads, trailers (check out some of the black and white TV trailers for "Goldfinger"!). It's pretty comprehensive for each movie.

As for the films themselves, well... like I said, one of the five is excellent. I wouldn't buy this set for the others in it, but they are worth having if you're a completist. "Goldfinger" is wonderful. "Diamonds are Forever", "The Living Daylights" and "The World is Not Enough" are reasonably entertaining. "The Man With the Golden Gun" is saved from a world of total suck by having Christopher Lee as the bad guy and also has some pretty impessive sets. Not really worth watching otherwise.

The selection of movies gets this set three stars. The extras boost it up to five. A nice average of four stars is what we end up with. Definately worth owning!

This purchase completed my collection of the newly released James Bond DVDs. They're all beautifully done (some restoration involved) with fun extras and info. If you're a Bond fan, these are highly recommended (and it's less expensive to buy them in the sets than to buy them separately).James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 3 (GoldenEye / Live and Let Die / For Your Eyes Only / From Russia With Love / On Her Majesty's Secret Service)James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 4 (Dr. No / You Only Live Twice / Octopussy / Tomorrow Never Dies / Moonraker)James Bond Ultimate Edition - Vol. 2 (A View to a Kill / Thunderball / Die Another Day / The Spy Who Loved Me / Licence to Kill)
