Movie Review: "007: Dr. No" (1962)Little did they know about the Zeitgeist, when teaming-up New York City based investor Albert R. Broccoli (1909-1996) and Canadian producer Harry Saltzman (1915-1994) optioned Ian Fleming's spy novel "Dr. No" published in 1958 to realize a fairly budgeted independent action movie, introducing the character of James Bond in her majesty's secret service, performed by 31-year-old Sean Connery.The 1st Bond presents itself in a highly entertaining mood directed by competent and able director Terence Young (1915-1994). The main character needs to investigate murders of governmental members on the island to Jamaica, exposing an underground oragnization that will shake up the worldwide secret service for years to come.The picture is modestly produced with a 1.1 Million Dollar budget, yet brings style, grace and elegance to the screen in the all time famous casino scene with Sean Connery lighting a cigarette while playing Black Jack with the antagonist's mistress, later to expose as the daring scientist Dr. No, when James Bond learns his trade by going locally undercover with hotel employees, a fisherman and bartenders.James Bond meets constantly changing love interests, this time in shape of actress Ursula Andress, portraying a female shell diver named "Honey" stepping out of water at a remote beach side, marking the first iconic visual in a smash hit motion picture from the 1960s, which secured the producers production company Danjaq LLC and build an instant classic spy action movie series.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

DR. NO is an action thriller and the first movie about a popular British secret agent.A British Intelligence (SIS) Station Chief in Jamaica, is ambushed and killed, and his body is taken by a trio of assassins. After that, they have broke into his house, killed his secretary and stole a very important documents. In response, MI6 agent James Bond is summoned to the office of his superior, M, in London. Bond is briefed to investigate the Station Chief disappearance. Upon his arrival at Kingston Airport Bond has met enemy agents. He has began his investigation with the help of a strong boatman and a charismatic CIA agent. However, scientists, double agents and beautiful women are on his way to the main enemy and to solve a mystery...This movie has set certain standards in terms of a character and habits of this main hero. This average fiction is pretty exciting. It balances between actions, mystery, science fiction and sexy situations. The pace is very fast, therefore, obvious flaws are almost not visible, between attempted murders, car chases, poisonous insects or even more toxic beauty in this film.Opening credits is very impressive. An exotic scenery is in contrast with topics in this film.Sean Connery as James Bond, A British MI6 agent, codename 007 is a tall, charismatic and handy man. He is a murderer and seducer at the same time. Mr. Connery has offered a convincing performance.His support are Ursula Andress (Honey Ryder), a local beauty, who deals quite good with a dominant man in the second part of the film. Joseph Wiseman (Dr. No) is the main antagonist. He is a constant threat, but too short phenomenon that could be taken seriously. Jack Lord (Felix Leiter) is an American "counterweight" to the British agent. John Kitzmiller (Quarrel) is a strong and scared boatman. Zena Marshall (Miss Taro) is a toxic beauty and a double agent.This is quite unreliable, however, is exciting and watchable.

Aside from the old "tarantula-in-the-bed" routine (hastily thrown in for good measure) and the pretty Miss Taro venomously spitting into Bond's face (applause. applause) after spending the previous hour gleefully rolling around in the sack with him - 1962's "Dr. No" contained absolutely no memorable scenes worth ranting and raving about here. (I'm not kidding!) But, with that aside - This film certainly contained lots and lots of major let-downs! Such as - The bikini-clad Ursula Andress (aka. Honey Ryder) emerging out of the sea. I'm sorry, folks, but this was not... I repeat, "THIS WAS NOT" one of the supposedly sexiest moments ever recorded in the history of film. No, it wasn't.In fact, I thought that this seashell-collecting bimbo, with her tiresome angry pout, put in one of the worst "Bond-girl" performances that I've ever seen.And, how about mad scientist, Dr. No, himself? Boy, I'm tellin' ya - This pompous, effeminate, little snot (though a gracious host) made my skin crawl with his insipid presence and his rubber-gloved hands. To me, Dr. No's character was about as menacing as a wet dishrag with his drab and dreary little "evil" plot of absolute domination of the world. (Spare me!) Instead of offering the viewer death-defying excitement, mixed generously with a stylish pizazz - Dr. No's humdrum story just sort of drifted along aimlessly from scene to scene without much drive or momentum..... Anyway - What more can I say?

This is the film that launched the James Bond series. And my god it launched it well.First of all Sean Connery is easily best Bond in my opinion closely followed by Daniel Craig. This is highlighted in this film with his charm, wit and humor. Ursula Andress is a great Bond girl as well with good chemistry with Connery and also being very beautiful. As well as all these things the film is well for the majority of the film with solid direction.However, the main problem with the film is near the end when Bond is escaping it is really stupid the way he escapes and makes the villain look quite dumb considering he as shown as scientific genius.Overall, it is a great film and should be watched by everyone even though the ending is a bit disappointing it is a fun thrill ride everyone
