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 of 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

Rating:  - Dr No
This product is defective. It stops in the middle and I have to skip to the next section in order for it to continue
Rating:  - Dr No, Blu Yes
I have purchased the 3 Connery Bond films available on Blu-ray at this point in time, but only watched Dr No so far. I was amazed at the quality of this film (displayed from my Panasonic player for those reviewers that had trouble on other brands). As others have said, if you like these early Bond films, you will really like these films that have been remastered for Blu-ray. I watched the disc special feature that discussed the process they went through to remaster this, it was a lot of effort, with great results. HIGHLY recommended !
Rating: - does not play on Samsung BD-P1200 Blu-Ray player
Dr. No (blu-ray) will not play on my Samsung BD-P1200 Blu-Ray player (with the latest June 2008 firmware). I have read that all the new James Bond blu-ray discs published by Fox will not play on Samsung, Sony, and perhaps other Blu-Ray players. Samsung has not announced any fix or plans for any fix.
Do not buy this disc unless you have heard for sure that it will work on your brand and model of Blu-Ray player.
Rating: - Bond. James Bond.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to use that line in my review, and who can blame me. It's fun, with Connery at the top of his Bond.
Rating:  - Dr. Yes and Dr. No
This looks great. The 1:66 fills most of the screen of a 16/9 monitor. I like that. The transfer is about as good as it could possibly be. I've bought this on VHS, laserdisc, DVD, and now BD. They finally nailed it. My only quibble is with some of the extras. A couple of these, ported over from previous editions, are excellent. But what's with the incredibly useless process of a feature that simply shows you a brief scene in the film after clicking on it? You'll know what I mean when you peruse the extras. It's also astonishing to me that the "image galleries" still use tiny pictures that come nowhere near to filling up the screen. I can only speculate that the source for these is low resolution. Anyway, this is the real deal.
