The James Bond Collection [Blu-ray]

Great product and great service

If you are a real "007" fan from Connery to Craig, this is the collection to own. Do not buy any other Bond set. This is the only one you want . At $3.33 per pristine BluRay movie, you can't go wrong. These transfers to true 1080p BluRay are the best I have seen in a long time. The first 20 bond movies have been digitally remastered in stunning Hi-Def from their original 8K scanned 35mm film negatives, and 6 channel 35mm magnetic audio tracks for the cleanest picture and sound. (The last 4 Bond films were shot on 35mm but stored on modern digital equipment and did not need to be remastered.) The video on every film is pristine clear and sharp. Bright accurate color and brightness to contrast ratio. Even the early Bond movies from Dr. No in 1962 through the 80's to License To Kill in 1989, are truly stunning in HD. They all look like they were originally shot on today's digital technology. No grain, no dirt, no haze, no fade, no color bleed, no jitter... NO KIDDING!!...... just super clean sharp pictures from beginning to end. The audio is clean and noise free on all movies. Very impressive to the audiophile with a nice home theater system. They have brought back the original stereo soundtracks, cleaned them up and remixed them in DTS 5.1 Master Audio Stereo on every Bond movie starting from "Dr. No". If you have a home theater with surround channels, you will be amazed and impressed at how well they are used. They come alive with great music and effects. I am very picky about the Audio and Video quality of movies. So when I tell you that these remastered BluRay transfers are as pristine as you could ever expect, I promise you are getting your money's worth with this box set. They even packaged the discs in the cases the right way. Each movie disc has its own separate flip tray to minimize accidental damage when moving the discs in and out of the cases. No stacking discs on top of or in front of other disc. No cardboard or paper sleeves. There are 3 BluRay type blue cases in the main box. The first case has the first 10 Bond films. The second case has the next 10 Bond films. The third case is not as thick as it only has the last 4 of the Bond films. The 3 cases fit into a cardboard sleeve which fits into the additional main cardboard sleeve. My only but small disappointment was that they did not include the original James Bond spoof Casino Royal with David Niven, or 1983's Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery reprising his Bond roll for one last time. Those two films were done through other studios and not included as part of the official Bond collection. But these two films are still available separately. I bought them to make the collection complete. There is no digital copy or special booklets, and there are very little pictures or details on the outside package. But as I said, at $3.33 per pristine BluRay movie, I can live without the little extras on the box. This box set is the best bargain you will find for the die-hard 007 fan. You will not be sorry you bought this collection. Here is a list of what you get...... BluRay Case #1  (1962) 1. Dr. No ....................................................... Sean Connery (1963) 2. From Russia with Love (1964) 3. Goldfinger (1965) 4. Thunderball (1967) 5. You Only Live Twice (1969) 6. On Her Majesty's Secret Service ..... George Lazenby (1971) 7. Diamonds Are Forever ....................... Sean Connery (1973) 8. Live and Let Die .................................... Roger Moore (1974) 9. The Man with the Golden Gun (1977) 10.

Timothy Dalton (1989) 16. License to Kill (1995) 17. Golden Eye ............................................ Pierce Brosnan (1997) 18. Tomorrow Never Dies (1999) 19. The World Is Not Enough (2002) 20. Die Another Day BluRay case #3 (2006) 21. Casino Royale ...................................... Daniel Craig (2008) 22. Quantum of Solace (2012) 23. Skyfall (2015) 24. Spectre

As expected, great packaging with no damaged components, all discs work well (Located in U.S. Region) and the set includes three individual cases for different eras of Bond films. The set does not include No Time to Die though, so that might be a deal breaker for those seeking that film as well. However, for me this is an excellent collection and I highly recommend everyone get one especially if you are a fan of the Bond franchise.

Cannot beat this price for Blu-ray. Complete James Bond College with exception of "No Time To Die". If you are a fan of Bond.... don't miss out on this opportunity!

For those like me who have purchased VHS, countless laser Discs and DVDs of 007 films, here is the lowdown on this set. The Ultimate Edition DVDs released some years ago are the frame-by-frame restoration of all the Bond films up to the Craig films. The photo enclosed is of that series. This release contained a boatload of extras unseen since the laser discs years ago. There are so many extras it took a very long time to enjoy each one as they are all spectacular. GREAT NEWS: This Blu-ray release are the exact copies of the Ultimate Edition DVDs with brighter color and sound and every single extra up to and including the last Brosnan film "Die Another Day". Everything is on ONE-disc verses the versions of the Ultimate Edition DVDs where the extras were on an additional disc. The Connery and Moore Bonds have the most extras and the films that followed have additional extras, but not as much as the Connery and Moore films. This set is a bargain basically paying around $2.50 per film and if you collect these films, I highly suggest a purchase even if you have other non-Blu-Ray 007 films. Never Say Never Again was an EON film so that is not included. So, there you have it, you have all the great extras that were on the Ultimate Edition DVDs but with everything on one DVD films and the extras in pristine colors. Read below why the storage has changed since the advent of Blu-ray. Blu-ray Disc (BD) hold 25-100 GBs of data Regular DVDs hold 4.7 GBs of data I hope this reveals the big differences with this set. With Amazon now having creative control over the next 007 films, it is a great idea to buy these until we see what new direction the films take. Having an updated DVD Blu-Ray player helps and depending on your TV, the films are crystal clear. You can update your player via the update feature like upgrading software on your TV. Buy these with no regrets!

Except for discs not playing

Dear buyer, I brought this collection of James Bond. And I discovered I couldn't play the disks... only a small handful...very disappointed. I didn't expect to have issues playing the disks as I truly believed I would have no issues... I brought this collection here in the UK. I didn't expect to be told to remove your disk and use Region A... and checked that I need a player to play Americas etc. My machine is very top quality... I never had an issue before. I didn't expect to have problems playing these films. I don't live in America... I live here in the UK. Why has the seller allowed people to buy this Blu - Ray collection and hope these films would play on a non A Region. I didn't mind paying £88.16... I thought was not a bad price... considering you get 24 films... I thought wow very good... can't complain. Unfortituniy this has really upset me... I don't know... as I played some disks... I'm not sure if the seller will refund... I'm willing to swap to get the James Bond Collection that I can play in the UK... I'm willing to do this. Some of the films I played are very good and of good quality. I'm confused why some I can play... others I can't... It's not fair to buy products in the UK and have issues stating can't play... please remove... need a Region A to my surprise. When you look down in the list at Amazon... it states all who stars in the films etc... you don't get any mention about what Region you need. Maybe it's me... I truly believed I was buying these films to play in the UK... I was very wrong. The one star reflects the disappointment of not being able to play most of the disks and me paying a fairly high price. Sorry... don't like complaining... I never had any issues with Blu - Ray before... this is my first time. If I had no issues... of course I would have given you 5 stars... without any hesitation... what a shame. Kind Regards, M.A.Monroe

Excelente material, muy completo, tanto de películas como de material extra

Fiquei surpreso com a qualidade do produto, só tem o velho problema dos encartes de Blu-ray e DVDs aonde quando vamos encaixar eles no lugar, ás vezes solta muito fácil, mas sempre foi assim então não é um problema desse produto em específico. O valor original desse produto não necessariamente bate com a realidade, porém quando está em oferta, fica bem justo, o limite a se pagar nessa coleção hoje em dia (2026) seria por volta de uns 700 reais no máximo.

Was kind of surprised this last Connery outing as Bond was excluded from this so-called 'definitive/complete' collection.
