Editorial Reviews

From Russia With Love, the second in the series of James Bond films, is the film that solidifies all the Bond film elements into a formula -- the action sequences are intensified and lend greater tension to the proceedings; John Barry's inimitable score makes its first appearance; Q is seen for the first time; and Sean Connery as Bond has nailed down his role as 007 -- accentuating Bond's stylishness and sophistication, while toning down his cold-bloodedness. In From Russia With Love, the bad guys don't want to take over the world. They want something more mundane -- a Russian decoding device. Assigned to the mission of stealing the decoding device are #3, former KGB agent Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), and #5, Kronsteen (Vladek Sheybal), an expert chess player who has plotted every move of the mission. Kronsteen's plan requires using Bond's weakness for women as an element in acquiring the decoding device. Once Bond obtains the decoding device from Russian cipher clerk Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi), SPECTRE muscleman Red Grant (Robert Shaw) is to forcibly take it from Bond and kill him. But Bond suspects a trap. Being Bond, however, he can't resist the lure of a beautiful woman. So, flaunting danger, Bond travels to Istanbul to meet Tatiana. The centerpiece of this 007 feature is the thrilling fight to the death between Bond and enemy agent Red Grant (Shaw) aboard the Orient Express. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

July 25, 2009: Best of the Bond Movies - Sean Connery was simply superb as James Bond. All of the actors gave wonderful performances. The first Bond movies had great scripts and contained drama, excitement and humor. Writers didn't need to blow up everything and everyone in sight to keep people engaged and entertained. Russia With Love is sung beautifully by Matt Monro!

I'ts Connerys Favorite, and the Best.by Hugo-Z-Hackenbush

May 02, 2009: After recently watching the debacle that was Quantum of Solace, I had to return to what a Bond movie should be. From Russia with Love, the second in the franchise, establishes the foundation for all that follows. The theme, The chase music, the opening song, the gadgets, and the best plot of any Bond movie. There is a hierarchy of villians, and the SPECTRE's enforcer is played by Robert Shaw, who is as menacing as Connery is suave; their fight on the Orient Express took three weeks to film, and it is a brutal match. The setting is Istanbul, no more exotic and familiar place on Earth, from the Grand Bazaar to Hagia Sophia to the Basilica Cistern underneath. The film ends in Venice, a perfect bookend. We also get to meet SPECTRE's #1, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, and of course, the accesory of every super villain, a white cat to stroke as he schemes.
