From Russia With Love Reviews

FANTASTIC THRILLER AND A CLASSIC MOVIE!

President Kennedy had named ' From Russia With Love' as one of his favourite books. since the massive box office success that went with ' Dr No'

producers Harry Saltzman & Albert R. ' Cubby' Broccoli made this film. Sean Connery's second appearance as 007: James Bond is even better than first time round. Daniel Bianchi plays Tatiana ' Tanya' Romanova with considerable skill. Anthony Dawson who played Professor Dent in ' Dr.No' plays Ernst Stavro Blofeld in this movie. with classic villains like Donald ' Red' Grant with the garret & Rosa Klebb with the pointy shoe this movie is fantastic. the fight sequence in the orient express is dark, tortured and thrilling. the suspense is fabulous. so many cool scenes. so many cool scenarios. even after 1963 { in which this film was released} this movie is still as cool as ever.

As always 007 never fails to make an Impression....In this installment the Leckter decoder is being dangled on a peice of string, and the English Government just can't miss an opportunity like this to get their hands on it...

Spectre however know that this is the case and so enrolls a Beautiful Russian Agent to try and trap the one British agent that it knows is after the cypher machine James Bond 007.

A classic film with a brilliant pre-title sequence.

The Best Bond

By far the best Bond Movie. Dr No excellent though it was was really a good first attempt. The movies that came after were increasingly spoilt, for me, as they lost all sense of reality - amusing for a while but eventaully the same format wore a little thin.If you only ever watch one Bond Movie - this is the one.

Clasic

Made in 1963, this is the James Bond with out all the Hi-tech gadgets. It also lacks some of the homour of subsiquent affairs, which for a Bond fim, is quite refreshing. This is a true cold war spy film, no fast cars or planes that come from barns, just helicopters, steam trains and speedboats.

Very Retro Bondage!!

Sean Connery not at his best, but plenty of gung ho action from the East as per usual.

Had not realised how Bond's catchphrases were formed early on. Watching this has inspired us to watch all of the rest in order to see how James Bond's character develops.

Not the best of the bond movies but in true british fashion it stands above other spy movies..Bond travels to Turkey to meet a mysterious Russian woman who claims to have fallen in love with his photograph. She offers him a secret translating device if he will join her, although he does not know that she has been put up to the task by Rosa Klebb, formerly of the KGB, who has gone to work for SPECTRE

good

another great bond film worth watching

Another solid early Bond outing

Despite lacking the grit of Dr No and the emotional complexity of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, From Russia With Love is still up there with the afore-mentioned as the best Bond films in my opinion. Together these three display a maturity and a realism that the vast majority in the series lack. FRWL is the weakest of them but still a strong '60's espionage thriller that adheres closely to the Ian Fleming character. There's nothing particularly iconic to distinguish it from any others but it's surely a thrill to see JB nervous and sweating using all his wits to escape from his execution in the train. Shame the franchise couldn't have continued in this vein.

BOND RETURNS

FOR MY MONEY THIS IS SEAN CONNERY'S BEST OUTING AS JAMES BOND. IT HAS EVERYTHING, GADGETS, ACTION AND BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. FIRST RATE
