I can watch this over and over again., 3 November 2002
10/10
Author: John (darcyj) from Australia

I've seen all the Bond films and enjoyed most of them - some are first class and others are more like ballast for the series. This documentary is a unique and satisfying overview of the first 18 Bond films.

It is well structured and flows, although it is not completely seamless. The actors who played Bond give good, if brief, insights and there is background material which has not been overused before. The delectable Miranda Richardson narrates, and as nice as it would have been to see her it is GOOD for the show that no time is wasted on her talking face-to-camera. No, the available time is all substance rather than style.

Whether for the million-and-one clips from the movies, or for the doco content itself, this tape never gathers dust in my house.
