Review of Dr. No (1962) by Matt M — 30 Jan 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" art made film is how graceful is filmed, how elegant is acted and how the wit and sense of humor are perfectly mixed in the script, faithful to the original book.
Sean Connery performance mark the first James Bond with gallantry, becoming an unique Bond that neither the next Bond's reaches Connery; Ursula Andress, 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.
