Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not my favorite James Bond film and it is definitely dated.

I LOVE all of the early James Bond Movies, and the steelbook packaging, but I have returned and exchanged 5 (so far) of this particular title and I have YET to find one that is not damaged. ALL 5 that I have received have had DENTS (some small, some large), thus the reason for the "1" rating...the movie is a "5", and the packaging and especially the quality control is a "-4"

I have bought this for my collection and will watch eventually. Trying to get all the James Bond films.

The second Bond film has a more intricate plot than Dr. No. 007 (Sir Sean) is sent to Istanbul to rendezvous with a supposed Russian defector (Daniela Bianchi) who promises to give his government access to a top secret and coveted decoding machine. Both, however, are unaware that the strings are being pulled by an organization called SPECTRE, who has sent two of its best operatives (Lotte Lenya & Robert Shaw) to kill Bond once he has the merchandise. Once again, the production values are first-rate across the board, but the best moment is the fist fight between Connery's Bond & Shaw's Grant aboard a speeding train. It remains, to this day, the most intense, best edited, and, yes, best acted fight scene in film history.

Regarded as one of the best classic Bond movies from the Sean Connery period, From Russia with Love makes its blu-ray debut with the AVC Mpeg-4 compression codec, framed at the film's original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 and presented in full 1080p, making the movie look as it has never before. The movie features nice black levels and contrast fitting a picture from the 60s, as well as a remarkable level of detail and an absence of additional digital artifacts and anomalies. For the fans, a must have.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is Sean Connery's second James Bond movie and his last Bond movie before the "Bond Formula" (Big Bond Battle scene, high tech devices, humor, etc.) was adopted in GOLDFINGER. The highlight of the movie is the train fight scene between Bond and assassin Red Grant played by Robert Shaw (JAWS, THE STING) which is considered by many film fans to be the best fight scene in movie history. Look for Martine Beswick, one of the fighting gypsy girls, who returned as an MI6 agent in THUNDERBALL. FROM RUSSIA FROM LOVE is a good Bond movie and serves as a good prelude to the best Bond movie ever---GOLDFINGER.

FRWL is not my favorite Bond movie, but it's in my top 3 Connery Bond movies. So why not get this movie in a nice bundle? I say time and again I'm a sucker for Steelbooks, and whoever designs these sure has some good job security because they do make for nice collectors items. If you're a B-Buy Rewards member and ever need an excuse to get a good movie with a coupon on the cheap, here you go!

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING ALL THE 007 JAMES BOND GAMES. AND FINALLY I HAVE FOUND WHAT I NEEDED AND THIS ONE IS REALLY WORTH IT. I WOULD RECOMENDED ANY ONE WHO LIKES ACCION GAMES JAMES BOND IS THE GREAT!

"From Russia With Love" has always been one of my three favorite Bond movies and the chance to purchase it from a discount "basket" was too good to pass up.

This is one of the best of Sean Connery's Bond films. With a great script and great characters, this is a must get for every Bond collector!!!
