----
Dr. No: Released in 1962, this first James Bond movie remains
one of the best, and serves as an entertaining reminder that the
Bond series began (in keeping with Ian Fleming's novels) with a
surprising lack of gadgetry and big-budget fireworks. Sean
Connery was just 32 years old when he won the role of Agent 007.
In his first adventure James Bond is called to Jamaica where a
colleague and secretary have been mysteriously killed. With an
American CIA agent (Jack Lord, pre-Hawaii Five-O), they discover
that the nefarious Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman) is scheming to
blackmail the U.S. government with a device capable of deflecting
and destroying U.S. rockets launched from Cape Canaveral. Of
course, Bond takes time off from his exploits to enjoy the
company of a few gorgeous women, including the bikini-clad Ursula
Andress. She gloriously kicks off the long-standing tradition of
Bond women who know how to please their favorite secret agent. A
sexist anachronism? Maybe, but this is Bond at his purest,
kicking off a series of movies that shows no sign of slowing
down. --Jeff Shannon
You Only Live Twice: The film boasts the best of the Bond title
songs (this one sung on a dreamy track by Nancy Sinatra), but the
movie itself is one of the weaker ones of the Sean Connery phase
of the 007 franchise. The story concerns an effort by the evil
organization SPECTRE to start a world war, but the not-so-super
villain behind the plot is the awfully civilized Donald
Pleasence. The thin script is by Roald Dahl (shouldn't we have
expected a better Bond nemesis from the creator of mad genius
Willy Wonka?), and direction is by British veteran Lewis Gilbert
(Alfie). But the movie can't hold a candle to Dr. No, From Russia
with Love, or Goldfinger. --Tom Keogh
Octopussy: Roger Moore was nearing the end of his reign as James
Bond when he made Octopussy, and he looks a little worn out. But
the movie itself infuses some new blood into the old franchise,
with a frisky pace and a pair of sturdy villains. Maud
Adams--who'd also been in the Bond outing The Man with the Golden
--plays the improbably named Octopussy, while old smoothie
Louis Jourdan is her crafty partner in crime. There's an island
populated only by women, plus a fantastic sequence with a
hand-to-hand fight that happens on a plane--and on top of a
plane. The film even has an extra emotional punch, since this
time out 007 is not only following the orders of Her Majesty's
Secret Service, but he is also exacting a personal revenge: a
fellow double-0 agent has been killed. Two Bond films were
actually released in 1983 within a few months of each other, as
Octopussy was followed by Sean Connery's comeback in Never Say
Never Again. The success of both pictures proved that there was
still plenty of mileage left in the old license to kill, though
Moore had one more workout--A View to a Kill--before hanging it
up. And that title? The franchise had already used up the titles
to Ian Fleming's novels, so Octopussy was taken from a
lesser-known Fleming short story. -- Robert HortonTomorrow Never
Dies: Pierce Brosnan returns for his second stint as James Bond
(after GoldenEye), and he's doing it in high style with an
invigorating cast of costars. It's only appropriate that a Bond
film from 1997 would find Agent 007 pitted against a media mogul
(Jonathan Pryce) who's going to start a global war (beginning
with stolen nuclear missiles ed at China) to create
attention-grabbing headlines for his latest multimedia news
channel. It's the information age run amok, and Bond must team up
with a lovely and lethal agent from the Chinese External Security
Force (played by Honk Kong action star Michelle Yeoh) to foil the
madman's plot of global domination. Luckily for Bond, the
villain's wife (Teri Hatcher) is one of his former lovers, and at
the behest of his superior M (Judi Dench), 007 finds ample
rtunity to exploit the connection. Armed with the usual array
of gadgets (including a remote-controlled BMW), Brosnan settles
into his role with acceptable flair, and the dynamic Yeoh
provides a perfect balance to the sexism that once threatened to
turn Bond into a politically incorrect anachronism. He's still
Bond, to be sure, but he's saving the world with a bit more
sophisticated finesse. --Jeff Shannon
Moonraker: This was the first James Bond adventure produced after
the success of Star Wars, so it jumped on the sci-fi bandwagon by
combining the suave appeal of Agent 007 (once again played by
Roger Moore) with enough high-tech hardware and special effects
to make Luke Skywalker want to join Her Majesty's Secret Service.
After the razzle-dazzle of The Who Loved Me, this attempt to
latch onto a trend proved to be a case of overkill, even though
it brought back the steel-toothed villain Jaws (Richard Kiel) and
scored a major hit at the box office. This time Bond is up
against a criminal industrialist named Drax (Michel Lonsdale) who
wants to control the world from his orbiting space station. In
keeping with his well-groomed style, Bond thwarts this maniacal
Neo-Hitler's scheme with the help of a beautiful, sleek-figured
scientist (played by Lois Chiles with all the vitality of a
department-store mannequin). Despite Moore's passive performance
(which Pauline Kael described as "like an office manager who is
turning into dead wood but hanging on to collect his pension"),
Moonraker had no problem attracting an appreciative audience, and
there are even a few renegade Bond-philes who consider it one of
their favorites. --Sean Axmaker
