In this very first film of the famous 007
movie franchise, James Bond is sent to Jamaica to investigate the disappearance
of a fellow British agent. His efforts to uncover the truth leads him to the
underground lair of Dr. No, who is planning on disrupting an American space
launch with a radio beam weapon.
Dr. No offers a good deal of cheesiness. The
special effects are dated and some of the action scenes are laughable, but it
remains an entertaining film. Sean Connery is among the best James Bond in my
book and he had already captured the essence of Bond here. The role fitted him
quite well. And what about that scene where Ursula Andress, as Honey Ryder
(yeah, I know), is coming out of the water in that bathing suit? I am sure it
was the object of many a boy’s wet dream.
Overall, this remains a fun movie, in spite
of its evident flaws.
