Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Directed with consummate skill by Terence Young, the second James Bond spy thriller is considered by many fans to be the best of them all. Certainly Sean Connery was never better as the dashing Agent 007, whose latest mission takes him to Istanbul to retrieve a top-secret Russian decoding machine. His efforts are thwarted when he gets romantically distracted by a sexy Russian double agent (Daniela Bianchi), and is tracked by a lovely assassin (Lotte Lenya) with switchblade shoes, and by a crazed killer (Robert Shaw), who clashes with Bond during the film's dazzling climax aboard the Orient Express. From Russia with Love is classic James Bond, before the gadgets, pyrotechnics, and Roger Moore steered the movies away from the more realistic tone of the books by Ian Fleming. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best Bond Film
I am a James Bond purist. I've seen each James Bond movie (except Quantum of Solace) at least twice, and own all of the Special Edition DVDs from 2002. I have come to the conclusion that this is the best of the Bond films.

I've read several of the James Bond novels, and I believe that starting with Goldfinger, the film series began to rely too heavily on gadgets and other things that distracted from the plot. This and Dr. No are the most faithful to the novel series, and they also have the best production values. FRWL is the better of the two.

Since I already own all of the films on DVD from 2002, I was reluctant to re-purchase them when they were released as "Ultimate Edition" DVDs a couple years ago. I wound up not re-purchasing them, and I'm glad I didn't. I just bought Dr. No and FRWL on Blu-ray, which feature better picture and sound quality than the DVDs, and also have better extras. I highly reccommend picking this (and Dr. No) up on Blu-ray!Dr. No (James Bond) [Blu-ray]


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ray, Blu Ray
Since this is 2008, you have probably seen From Russia with Love. If not, seek out one of the other hundreds of reviews here that talk about the plot points, set pieces and Sean Connery. They can fill you in better than I can. What I will concentrate on is this new Blu-Ray release. Having owned just about every other version of this movie (Beta [Yes Beta...I blame my Dad for that], VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD), I can easily say this high-def release is the best. If you also own this movie on another format and are waffling about buying the Blu-Ray release, do it...especially if you are a Bond fan.

On a HDTV you will "see" this movie for the first time. I started picking out extras in the background and details on Sean Connery's clothing that I had never noticed before. When you watch Q make his entrance and go over Bond's attaché case, check out how smoke stained Desmond Llewelyn's hands are. It really is amazing and makes you appreciate the movie on a whole new level.

With a nice DTS 5.1 soundtrack and a slew of extras, this will be a great addition to your Blu-Ray collection. I know it is to mine.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good, but not as good as others say.
The plot is confusing and the villain is bland, but Connery is great are as his Bond girls. And it slowed down, but had a stellar ending. Worth a watch.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Oustanding!
This film has never looked so beautiful. The Blu-Ray edition is outstanding and plays perfectly on my PS3. Can't wait to see more Bond releases on Blu-Ray!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite early-Bond film
I have been a Bond fanatic since seeing Dr. No in its original release at age 13. Of the first three Bond films, FRWL is my favorite and one of my top 5 Bond films. Connery is so self-assured in this film, just watch the way he saunters in after the attempted assasination of his friend Kerim Bey by a hidden bomb, he is just so cool. I love the attack on the gypsy camp sequence where, in the middle of the chaos taking place, Bond just walks through basically shooting everybody in sight or interfering in the violence in various ways. The older I get, the more I appreciate the beauty of Daniela Bianchi, for some reason, one of the lesser-remembered Bond women. I far prefer her to Ursula Andress. The fight scene between Connery and Robert Shaw on the Istanbul Express is the best and one of the most brutal in the series. And I never get tired of the helicoptor attack on Connery near the end of the film.
This film is an absolute classic and I look forward to getting it on blu-ray.
