A Must Have for Every Bond Fan
This is the most upto date Date Collection Set-n-one for Any James Bond Fan. the set include ALL the Official James Bond Movies ever released from Connery's first appearance in Doctor No, in 1963 till Craig's edition of Casino Royale in 2006.
Admittedly, the movies are NOT boxed in Chronological order (sequence of release) but any Hardcore fan would know that sequence by heart, and for others, all they need to do is sort it by the CopyRight date, and they will have it in the proper order.
when you look at the set itself, any Hardcore Fan will notice immediately that it is Missing 3 tittles.
1. MGMs Spoof "Casino Royale" from 1967, with Peter Sellers and David Niven.
2. Connery's "Never say Never Again" from 1982. (Remake of Thunderball)
3. Craig's "Quantum of Solace" from 2008.
Quantum of Solace is a post production, which was released After this collection was released. where as the other 2 tittles are not included due to Ownership rights. but to complete the Entire set, all tittles can easily be acquired elsewhere.
The Combined set is a beautiful collection, the only drawback that I can pinpoint is that the tittles are stored in "MAXI" cases, which is significantly thinner than the regular DVD cases. why i consider it a drawback is only for Cosmetic Reasons, as these cases may seem a bit out of place on the Rack beside all the other tittles in regular casing. but this may not apply to everybody.
the Additional DVD that comes with each tittle contains all the "Extra Features" anyone could ever dream of, some in reference to the tittle itself, and some just about the Series in General. in my original collection, which went from VHS to LaserDisc to Regular DVD to now the "Ultimate Edition" DVD, the special features is the only real ADDITION, beside the improvement in the Quality of the sound and picture. plus the fact that the combined set comes for a part of the price i paid for the VHS collection when that was available.
the sequence of release is jotted for anyone who may want or need this. I am not going to review each tittle individually, basically cuz that can take up several hundred pages to do so (have actually been done), but will suffice with the series, including the tittles thats not included in this set, each marked with a " ** " by the name.
