Audience Reviews for From Russia With Love

• Feb 07, 2016

  Surprisingly better than the first film From Russia with Love takes Bond into the Cold War, featuring more thrills, action and humor.

  A 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 Quickly

  I 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.

  I'm currently making it through the James Bond series- all for the first time- and the second film in is a disappointing experience. I quiet enjoyed Dr. No, stylistically spectacular. While From Russia with Love matched Dr. No in Sean Connery's smoothness, and all around fun style, the plot is significantly weaker. The relationship between Bond and Tania makes no sense to me, they seemingly both had each other figured out (and knew it) so why keep the games up? For sex? The story was often cartoon like, and I can't fathom why some consider this the best bond, I've only seen the first two and I wouldn't. 2.5 stars- (generous)
