An already prime example of the attraction for Bond movies, From Russia with Love may be the finest of the Sean Connery era. The BluRay treatment brings new life to this classic Bond film and imbues it with a dynamism not so obviously felt in previous DVD releases. A great movie and a great medium.
"Bond on Blu-ray"
2010-02-01
- Reviewed By Lee M. Vogel from Kansas City, MO United States
Having grown up on the original Bond series I am very familiar with this film. I've seen it on the big screen, little screen and at the drive-in theatre. The detail and color of this Blu-ray edition revealed aspects of the photography I've never seen before. If your most recent copy of FRWL is on VHS, the price is worth the upgrade.
It isn't only silly gadgets, childish gimmickry and (more recently) CGI inanity that have deprived modern films of any semblance of realism, it is also what more recent films have done to the ancient, primordial art of hand-to-hand combat. If you examine Bond's fight in the train car, you will observe that the scene captures how people actually fight in real life. No high flying kicks, no silly poses, no Kung-fu ballet and gymnastics. No, this Bond fight wasn't any of those things. It was as real as I've seen on film. It's a shame that I had to go back nearly 50 years to see a "real" fight captured on film. And that fight scene has stayed with me and made an impression I won't soon forget mainly for its realism and superiority over what would follow in the decades to come.
I suppose much of the blame for the corruption of hand-to-hand combat scenes can be laid at the feet of Bruce Lee. And it pains me to say this, as I was an obsessive Bruce Lee fanatic growing up. But once Lee and his imitators started with the ballet, gymnastics and dancing, realistic looking fights were no longer choreographed in films. In the spy genre, I suppose the last Bourne film certainly went a long way toward capturing the rhythm and feel of real martial combat. But compared to FRWL, it too was stylized and too elegant to look real.
This is a great movie. Everything is well done. Even the effects remain effective and actually look better and more real than the CGI junk being done today.
I love the movie---end of story. This review is about the Blu-Ray. I have the recently upgraded DVD version of this film in the James Bond Ultimate Edition set. That movie was restored to a sensational level of quality. Bottom line: The Blu Ray looks even better. It's like watching a brand new movie.
"Compatibility Problem - and is Amazon deleting negative reviews?"
When I looked at this product on Amazon last month, I could have sworn there were a ton of negative reviews from people claiming this DVD would not play in their blu-ray players. I decided to buy it anyway (got it as a gift on my wish list), knowing there was a chance it would not work. And turns out I too cannot get this disc to play in my new Sony blu-ray player. I came back to Amazon.com to write my review for this product but ... hey that's funny, where did all the negative reviews go? Not one mention of anyone having compatibility problems now? Did Amazon delete all the negative reviews?
I will be surprised if Amazon allows this review to post, but if it does beware 1) that this disc has a history of compatibility problems and 2) that Amazon is apparently deleting negative (but informative) reviews in some cases! Not cool.
