Amazon.com essential video
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

 does not play on Samsung BD-P1200 Blu-Ray player November 21, 2008
Dr. No (blu-ray) will not play on my Samsung BD-P1200 Blu-Ray player (with the latest June 2008 firmware). I have read that all the new James Bond blu-ray discs published by Fox will not play on Samsung, Sony, and perhaps other Blu-Ray players. Samsung has not announced any fix or plans for any fix.
Do not buy this disc unless you have heard for sure that it will work on your brand and model of Blu-Ray player.

I'm sure I'm not the only person to use that line in my review, and who can blame me. It's fun, with Connery at the top of his Bond.

This looks great. The 1:66 fills most of the screen of a 16/9 monitor. I like that. The transfer is about as good as it could possibly be. I've bought this on VHS, laserdisc, DVD, and now BD. They finally nailed it. My only quibble is with some of the extras. A couple of these, ported over from previous editions, are excellent. But what's with the incredibly useless process of a feature that simply shows you a brief scene in the film after clicking on it? You'll know what I mean when you peruse the extras. It's also astonishing to me that the "image galleries" still use tiny pictures that come nowhere near to filling up the screen. I can only speculate that the source for these is low resolution. Anyway, this is the real deal.
Bond on Blu.....at last!!! October 23, 2008

My comments apply only to the newly released Blu Ray version.
I will not review the film it's self since everyone has no doubt seen it at least once.
I have waited 2 years for the Bond films to be released in a HD format, and the waite was worth it.
The picture quality of this old film is simply awesome. The color saturation, the "depth" and contrast are very film-like.
I felt like I was discovering the film for the very first time.
Watching it on my 60'' display, it looked like I was seeing a brand new, fresh from the lab, film print in my own living room.
And it gets better, I am told (but havent viewed my copy yet) that Thunderball looks even better.
If you are a Connery James Bond fan, and own Blu Ray, this is a no-brainer.
Highest possible recommendation, and Amazon has it for a good price.
