Review of Dr. No (1962) by Ronald N — 16 Mar 2013
The first movie of Ian Fleming's 007 won't be the most action-packed flick like some of the the next Bond movies. But what made "Dr. No" a excellent film is how graceful is filmed and exotically located, how elegant is the stylish act and how the sense of wit, thrills and humor are perfectly mixed in the sleek script, faithful to the original book, although I am not quite agree that the franchise should start with this book, it would have been a good idea begin with the 1st book, "Casino Royale" (I just comment).
Sean Connery performance mark the first James Bond with gallantry, becoming an unique Bond that is unsurpassed for being seductive, clever and aware a male chauvinist shows us her beautiful interpretation as the first Bond girl; as well as a clever and sometimes frightening work of Joseph Wiseman as the satanic Dr.
No. With a tongue-in-cheek style that set the tone for the rest of the popular series that doesn't change until now, "Dr. No" start a big franchise, maybe not as good as the expected, but is a particularly excellent Bond film for the mystery-suspense lovers.
