...a fine cinematic introduction to the world's most famous secret agent.
10/16/08
All of the elements of the formula are there, but in pleasing moderation.

Top CriticThe Bond formula is established in this first, arguably more credible Ian Fleming adaptation.
07/22/08
Still ranks in the upper echelon of the Bond series.

Less gimmicky, more charming.
03/24/07
The first entry in what was to become the most profitable movie series of all time is a solid, surprisingly modest spy thriller, enlivened by Sean Connery's screen charisma and occasional hints of the extravagance to come.
03/01/07
An entertaining piece of tongue-in-cheek action hokum.
03/01/07
Essential viewing for any Bond fanatic.

Of course, it's nonsense -- pure, escapist bunk, with Bond, an elegant fellow, played by Sean Connery, doing everything (and everybody) that an idle day-dreamer might like to do.

The first Bond is still one of the best Bonds, though modern audiences won't be wowed by the gadgetry that has become accelerated over the years.
04/14/05
It is noteworthy that a single film contains such a wealth of icons.

A low budget and moments of unintentional camp can't derail Bond's irresistbly cool debut.
