I can tell you this...if you're a Bond fan, see this...you will thoroughly
love it. Interviews with all 5 Bonds, great clips from all 19 films, Q, the
girls, villains, and a whole lot more. It's a fun-filled hour or so for us
Bond-maniacs. I saw it on AMC one night earlier this year and am glad it
will make it to video and DVD soon.

Well, the documentary is actually nothing special because there's not much
news in it. The story tells everything that was said. I must say I was very
disappointed after I had thought it was going to be something really
enjoyable and interesting. It proves to have been done only for money and
maybe to promote Bond's entrance in the 2000s. The only highlight of the
progamme are interviews with Bond actors, although our friends don't say
anything new, well maybe except Roger Moore who tells us some funny
anecdotes and helps the documentary not be be totally boring. But I know I
can always count on Roger.

Actually not that great a doco, supposedly chronicling the life and times
of
Bond as he moves into the new millennium, but worth seeing simply for the
opportunity of seeing Connery, Lazenby, Moore and Brosnan (who cares
about
Dalton?) all together. And dear old Desmond Llewelyn....one minute with
him
is worth ten documentaries on atomic fission!
Dated already with the imminent release of DIE ANOTHER DAY but still
worth
catching for die-hard Bond fans.
Roger Moore's on-set anecdotes were fun to hear and delivered as only
Roger
Moore can! So many of you undervalued his 7 film contribution!

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.
