James Bond Blu-ray Collection Six-Pack (Dr. No / Die Another Day / Live and Let Die / For Your Eyes Only / From Russia with Love / Thunderball) (Amazon.com Exclusive) [Blu-ray]

I absolutely recommend this product for any and all James Bond fans out there. The video is staggering and the audio is equally impressive. "Dr. No" and "From Russia with Love" will blow your mind. A person with no knowledge of the films could not tell you they are nearly a half century old. My only complaint are the titles they chose for this first wave. I really like "For Your Eyes Only" and "Thunderball", but some of the others are weaker films in the series, but if you're a Bond fan this is a must-own for the video and audio upgrades alone.

I thought I was happy with this purchase until shortly after my purchase Amazon offered the same set, only in proper DVD packaging for $5.00 less for the package! Doesn't make sense to me!!

The picture quality is awesome. (5/5) It is the best Bond has ecer looked.
The audio is quite good too. I give it 4/5.
The extras are lacking but who cares. I just want the movies.
My only complaint is the choice of Bond movies by MGM. As long as they all get released in the next year or two, this point will be moot.
The four free tickets to Quantum of Solace was a nice bonus, but this offer will expire soon I do believe.
If you own a Blu Ray player, this is a must buy. Stop reading and buy now!

I recently rurchased this James Bond Box Set package. When I received it I was disappointed when instead of watching Bond's adventures on the screen - all I received was a message " now reading ". I then tried the box set on my playstation 3 ... and it worked !! Sony keeps the PS3 updated with Blue-ray changes so this is a good test. After contacting Panasonic ( which were friendly & helpful ) I found out that the Panasonic DMP-BD10A required an upgrade to the player firmware. my set had Version 2.4 - I upgraded to Ver 2.5 ( fairly complicated to upgrade ) - Now everything is fine & I'm really enjoying this box set !!

I'm an audiophile and videophile and my review is based on watching this collection on an ISF calibrated Pioneer Kuro. I'm not old enough to have seen many of these in the theater but this collection sure does give you the feeling that this is what it might have been like to see them when they were new. The video quality is impressive on all, with Live and Let Die being the worst in the set and Die Another Day the best. The color on the older films is ever so slightly over done (a bit too much red) but again this reminds me of what it might have been like to see these in a theater in the 1960s.

The only disappointment is the soundtrack on ALL of them (compressed DTS as I can't currently decode uncompressed). The sound quality is excellent (again Live and Let Die the worst). My issue with the soundtrack is the fault of whomever remastered the audio. The effects are unbelievably loud (on a properly calibrated home theater) and the voices are quiet. You cannot solve the issue by turning up the center channel since much of the effect sounds are also present in the center channel information. I noticed the same sound issues when watching the HD broadcast of Die Another Day on SpikeTV today.

Gripes aside. I love this collection and hope the rest of the Bond films are released on Blu-Ray in the near future.
