James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – For Your Eyes Only

“Before setting off on revenge, you first dig two graves.” After the ludicrous space escapades of the underrated Moonraker most people thought it was time for a change in the Bond films. And what a change For Your Eyes Only is. It starts off in a way similar to other Moore era Bond films with a slightly silly moment; […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Moonraker

“Mr. Bond, you persist in defying my efforts to provide an amusing death for you.” Moonraker has somewhat of a reputation. It’s famous for being the one in which Bond went to space. Many people write it off as terrible because they think it’s only around because Star Wars was popular. Well this is a completely different thing […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Spy Who Loved Me

“Observe, Mr. Bond, the instruments of Armageddon“ After the disappointment that was The Man With The Golden Gun people were understandably worried about the follow up film; The Spy Who Loved Me. TSWLM was the first film in the series to not involve producer Harry Saltzman, and there was also difficulty securing a director. Eventually EON Productions went with You […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Man with the Golden Gun

“You see, Mr Bond, like all great artists I want to create one indisputable masterpiece: the death of 007” Well let’s focus on the positive, Live and Let Die was good, right? How about that bit where Bond fought Tee Hee? That was awesome, wasn’t it? Or the bit where the bus went under the […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Diamonds Are Forever

“Well, one of us smells like a tart’s handkerchief.” Ah, so here we are. We’ve reached, in my opinion, one of the weaker entries in the Bond franchise. After On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and George Lazenby’s departure from the series, United Artists wanted Sean Connery back. In fact they wanted him back so much that […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

“We have all the time in the world.” Poor George Lazenby. He certainly drew the short straw when it comes to actors portraying Bond; he only got one film. But luckily for him, it’s a good’un. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a great movie, and Lazenby does the best he can portraying Bond in a more […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – You Only Live Twice

“I have much, much better. Ninjas” So here we are on You Only Live Twice, otherwise known as “that one where James Bond makes himself look Asian“. This film, like previous entries, is a product of its time. The space race was in full swing and SPECTRE is using this against the two superpowers of […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Thunderball

“I think he got the point.” What do you think the highest grossing Bond film is? It’s probably Skyfall isn’t it? Well, yes, but Thunderball comes a very close second. When adjusted for inflation, and until Skyfall this was the highest grossing Bond film of all time. And it’s easy to see why; Thunderball is […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Goldfinger

“You like a close shave, don’t you?” Goldfinger was an important film. This was the film that kicked Bond mania into overdrive and was the movie that helped start the film going public’s love affair with espionage. It’s also remembered fondly by many as the greatest Bond film, and with good reason. Golfinger set the template for Bond […]
