Review of Dr. No (1962) by Andrew M — 25 Jun 2015
Dr. No has a cast that has evident charm, good looks and charisma, the action is solid, the plot is engaging and the soundtrack is iconic. The characters are weakly developed, the story is difficult to follow mainly due to many rushed scenes and the first half is problematic and inferior to the second one, but what makes this film a pleasant surprise are some excellent choices from the filmmakers mainly the approach with more adventure instead of stupid action which is very appealing and an almost comic-book sensibility of the film with episodic nature of storytelling, many memorable moments, use of exotic locations and an adventurous and engaging story that is very entertaining and feels as if taken right from the pages of the comics.
It is a flawed movie, but as entertainment goes, it definitely achieves that as it is very engaging and pleasing to the eye.
