The film lacks the exotic, colourful flamboyance of the best of its successors. So shoot me.

The stylish second Bond film From Russia With Love now looks as if it was shot yesterday.

FRWL has character and dash, and even something of a conventional plot, all worth revisiting for this pin-sharp restoration.
April 24, 2009 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
The narrative is plodding, time has not been kind to set-pieces that were once so thrilling and now seem oddly perfunctory, and 007's misogyny and casual slapping of several women is more than faintly repellent.

Sophisticated? Well, not really. But fast, smart, shrewdly directed and capably performed.

From Russia with Love is a preposterous, skillful slab of hardhitting, sexy hokum.

Apr 02, 2021It's 1963, the modern era and here you are trapped in a merely bourgeois and boring existence and living from paycheck to paycheck? Get some relief and spend an hour or two visiting foreign and exotic locales, making love to foreign and exotic women, and maybe a foreign and exotic fight or two to round out the day! That's what Bond brought the men of the early 1960s, escape - in a very civilized way, and why Connery is still considered the best at Bonding. And this one is one of the best, with a well-rounded story and decently executed.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Sep 28, 2015A Love letter to 60s espionage in a franchise that was already off and running, the 2nd 007 adventure takes audiences From Russia and offers the only early Bond film that could also stand on its own as a standalone Cold War spy flick besting even John Le Carre. With the persona and tone already brilliantly established with Dr. No, From Russia with Love one-ups its predecessor and sees Bond further earmark globetrotting adventure and many other motifs as franchise stalwarts. Now with Q and a menacing villain worthy of Bond's time and energy added into the mix (Robert Shaw), filmgoers witness one of the hottest and the most Nuclear Age-related of stories that the series ever produced (indeed, Broccoli felt that this was Fleming's best adventure). In this spy caper set largely in Istanbul, James Bond (Connery) willingly falls into an assassination ploy involving a naive Russian beauty (Daniela Bianchi) in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by SPECTRE. From the train dust-up to the knife shoe fight to the speedboat chase, the Bond franchise also solidifies its place as an action lover's actioner series with this entry...the regrettable Gypsy girl fight notwithstanding. Though cheeky, From Russia with Love also marks the last time that Bond's spyware receives semi-serious handling before slowly descending into sometimes camptastic waters. Also, though SPECTRE received a mention from Dr. No, this thinking man's actioner gives us the first full-fledged glance into the evil syndicate (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) that will reign terror right up until and including, well, 2015's Spectre. Bottom line: Love Comes QuicklyJeff B Super Reviewer

Aug 03, 2015I was expecting this one to be way better than it was, After Dr No was good but lacked the action this one is the same except less action, Although this one has more style and the plot was ok although it's over told for what it all comes down to, It's too slow and the ending wasn't nothing to shout about, There was no stand out scene, Sean Connery does well again they just use him wronge, It's far from the worst Bond but there are better ones too.Jamie C Super Reviewer
