James Bond has never looked so good. MGM did a great job.

I was very happy with this set. I cant say enough about the restoration job that MGM did with the Bond franchise. Each and every film has been restored and remastered from top to bottom. There is not a single spec of dirt to be found. The film is scratch free and super clean. The detail is amazing. You will notice small details that you may have never known were there. The close ups show awesome facial details. Although these films range from 1963 to 1981, they look fresh and vivid. Of course the older titles are a bit dated, but they are as good as they can get. The fleshtones are spot on, the blacks are nice and deep. The night scenes hold up very well. The day scenes are crisp and have amazing focus. I dont have a single complaint about any of these titles.

The sound really rocks. Of course the older titles are a bit dated. But the voices are clean and crisp and the music is nice also. The action scenes in For Your Eyes Only are awesome. Great shootouts and explosions really get your home theater going.

The list of extras is to long to list. Tons of stuff to keep even the most die hard Bond fan happy. The menus are cool and easy to navigate through. Cant complain about a single thing. MGM really put a ton of money and effort into preserving thier Bond franchise. They did an outstanding job. The movies look and sound great. Many will be watching them for the first time again! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Quality looks great - but the packaging is horrible

I will skip the content reviews as we all know what is to be seen, that just leaves how it looks and sounds. The quality of the Blu transfers are very well done, the colors, content lines, and saturations all were transcribed eloquently. There were no blurs, no grain, no artifcats - all in all a pleasure to watch all these years later.

The sound was brought across ok (and I love anything DTS), but the limitations of the time seem to filter through in a variety of scenes. The music overwhelms some scenes and the mix was obviously dubbed wrong at certain moments but that once again was original mixing issues.

The special features are endless and can give any Bond fan hours of enjoyment that have not been on other sets before. The menu navigation was actually flawless and can be up to 7 selections deep with some of the special features.

The detractor though - an incredible list of flubs on the case. They used a cheap cardboard book sleeved in a flimsy plastic/glued outer paper...with - prepare yourself - moronic chair leg fobs glued to the cardboard pages to hold each disc. That designer needs to be FIRED. Each of my customers' sets (including mine for the store) had loose discs. Each set has lasted only one to two uses before the remaining glued fobs just fall apart or stay attached to the disc. Essentially - the cases are totally useless; I would highly recommend using your own storage system.

Overall - the movies look great but the packaging is a laundry list of problems, I went to the local Costco and listened to all 40 sets they had on the floor and each one had loose discs (mind you I gently listened). The quality of the pics have impressed customers to where they are even noticing the vibrant color of the actor's eyes; but also one little problem came up I was not expecting - nudity. The clarity is so crisp that you notice a naked breast before the pool scene that could not be seen before and in the bedroom scene with the blonde girl...a customer complained because they noticed it as I was playing it in the store. Oh well...
