Dr. No (1962)





Connery-Lazenby James Bond Movie #1

Synopsis: Cool-as-a-cucumber secret agent plays cards, hangs out in nightclubs, drinks vodka, and um... that’s mostly it.

Blurb From the VHS Jacket: “With breathtaking chases, amazing stunts and a bold, nerve-shattering climax, this outrageously entertaining adventure pushes the envelope for non-stop thrills and magnificently sets the standard for the most popular movie series of all time.”

What Did I Learn?: Ladies, if you’re ever taken prisoner by an evil madman and your boyfriend offers to “do all the talking” at dinner, you might want to make your own escape plans if dude spends the entire meal taking pot-shots at the obviously thin-skinned bad guy.

You Might Like This Movie If: You love that nifty James Bond theme music, and you want to hear it played for the very first time. (Warning: this is absolutely awful)

Really?: 1) For an evil criminal/terrorist organization, 1962-era SPECTRE probably had a lot more non-white employees than either MI6 or the CIA. 2) So wait – Bond knows that strange things are afoot on Crab Key and he has to investigate ASAP. Why does he bother going on a date with Miss Taro, and then waiting around for Professor Dent to show up? 3) What’s the point of showing Dent’s boat ride to Crab Key, mid-way through the film? Couldn’t he have been revealed as a villain later, at Miss Taro’s place? 4) Wow...does Bond really say to Quarrel: “fetch my shoes”?

Rating: Dr. No is the very first James Bond movie, and it hasn’t aged all that well, even if Sean Connery remains the epitome of early-1960s cool. The pacing is slow, the fight scenes are a tad unconvincing (Bond saves the day at the end just by turning a wheel!), and Bond spends most of the movie playing detective. While Dr. No clocks in at 110 minutes (making it one of the shorter movies in the series) it seems to drag on and on at times. 6.5/10 stars.
