Dr. No (1962)
Story: A resourceful British government agent seeks answers in a case involving the disappearance of a colleague and the disruption of the American space program.
The beggining of one of the sucsesfull franchises. The first James Bond movie a pretty good openeing for it and a nice way to unveal what the viewers could see in the future movies and get the basic feel of it. Sean Connery did good and he fitted good for the Bond role. Honey Ryder as the Bond girl wasnt really that good, i found here in some scenes pretty bad actually and that really turned a bad mood on me and the whole movie, her charather wasnt the brightest one but i didnt mind to much about that. The action, stunt, intense scenes were perfect for Its time and all the praise to everyone of acomplishing them, it really fitted well that some of todays movie cant capture the simplicity and not overdoing things or just plain action and nothing else with explosions. The vilian Dr. No wasnt really that bad that i expected him to be. Overall a pretty good opening for the Bond movies but with all the things said before i still kind of didnt like it as much as i wish i could.
Reccomendation: Yes a good opening for the Bond movies

From Russia with Love (1963)
Story: James Bond willingly falls into an assassination ploy involving a naive Russian beauty in order to retrieve a Soviet encryption device that was stolen by SPECTRE.
Continoung of a good opening of the Bond movies. From Russia with Love was better in many ways than the first Bond movie and really captured allot of many things that the first didnt. I liked the story way more than i did the first one. Sean Connery improved well in this movie from the first one and soo far what i have seen he is doing great, i still havent seen allot of other Bond movies and i plan on seeing them all and reviewing them. The scenary was good in this movie and we can see some pretty nice shots for the eye and some famous sites. The Bond weapons and gadgets were pretty nice to see and were fun how we played with them around. Miss Moneypenny got a little more of her on screen time and a proved a bit i think (Lois Maxwell). Action, stunts, intense scenes were way better than in the first one. Tatiana (Daniela Bianchi) was very good and i really liked her for work and her charather, Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendáriz ) was another good actor to point out and the whole family thing of his was interesting to see. Torwards the ending and the ending were perfect.
Reccomendation: Yes
