Remastered frame by frame for Blu-Ray. Looks and sounds great.
You cant do any better than this. If you are a Jemes
Bond
fan, you will really enjoy the quality of this set. Each of the movies in this set have been remastered and are super clean. There are no artifacts or dirt of any kind. The films themselves have been cleaned from top to bottom. The sound really rocks also. Although the films in this set range from Connery, Moore and Brosnan some 40 years apart, they all look awesome. Of course the older Bond movies are dated, but they look great. Very sharp and clean. The colors are nice and bright. The fleshtones are right on the spot. There are amazing details that you may have never noticed in the past. The blacks are nice and deep, the
day
time scenes are vivid and sharp. Alway's in focus even on closeups. Great facial details as well as background shots. The audio on all of these disks are remastered also. They really rock your sound system. Some are better than others, but they all do a great job. These 3 titles are a great example of how

can show off it's stuff on a 1080P monitor.
There are a ton of extras on these titles. You will spend hours going through them all. The menus are very cool looking and easy to navigate through. I had no problems whatsoever.
As for the movies themselves. Everyone has their own opinions on that one. I love Dr. No and
Live
And
Let
Die. These classics have never looked better. Worth every penny for the 007 fan out there. The restoration job is second to none. A+ to MGM! Now lets see volumes 3 and 4 please!

Full disclosure: My 1-star review is for poor compatibility of these discs -- not the actual video content. The movies themselves are among my favorites of all time, but I haven't seen a single frame on any of these

discs!
I bought all 6 of these movies individually, and none of them will get past a black screen when viewed on my HP laptop (QuickPlay v3.7
blu-ray
player.) I've verified that the firmware and software version are the very latest so... until someone at HP gets motivated, you might be waiting awhile to play these through your laptop. For the record, I have over 100 blu-rays and these are the first for which I've had a problem that could not be cured by updating the software. I'm sure this problem will go away in time, but it could be a few months.
As others have mentioned, all 6 of these discs have garnered irate feedback on forums all over the net for compatibility problems with an astounding variety of standalone players (Sony, Panasonic, LG, Samsungs, etc.) On the positive side, those with PS3s seem to be in good shape. Apparently, if your player can actually play the discs, you will be rewarded with an outstanding blu-ray
Bond
experience. It is very disheartening, however, when you can't!
My positive experience with so many other discs gives me optimistic confidence that the problem with these 6 discs will soon be a fading bad memory, but until then -- buyer beware.
