Rachael H Although the film is 60 years old it didnt seem like it. Lots of action and stunts and an undercover fisherman from the Cayman Islands - great! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/22 Full Review Oliver J Critics Consensus: “Dr. No” introduces audiences to the suave sophistication and thrilling espionage of James Bond with undeniable style and charisma. While more modest in scope than later installments, its sharp direction, exotic locations, and Sean Connery’s effortless cool lay the foundation for one of cinema’s most enduring franchises. Review: As the first entry in the 007 saga, Dr. No feels both refreshingly restrained and undeniably iconic. Terence Young’s direction brings Ian Fleming’s secret agent to life with a balance of grit and glamour, and Sean Connery’s debut as Bond is magnetic—dangerous, witty, and instantly legendary. The film’s tropical setting and pulpy plot—complete with a mysterious island, a sinister scientist, and a deadly dragon tank—capture the essence of Cold War adventure cinema. Though the pacing occasionally shows its age and the villain’s lair feels quaint compared to later Bond extravaganzas, Dr. No remains a landmark in spy filmmaking. It’s the film that launched a legend—and even after six decades, the Bond formula it established still feels timelessly cool. Verdict: A sleek, confident start to the Bond legacy—Dr. No delivers espionage, elegance, and a license to thrill. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review nick s The first bond feels like a spy thriller with a few nifty ideas thrown in. Quite different to the disjointed action spectaculars of later years. Personally I wish they'd stuck with this formula. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Alexander S While Dr. No, being a film from a bygone era, doesn't quite resonate with me, nevertheless, it's an undisputed classic that boasts an intriguing blend of spy thrills, action and of course Bond women, which of course contributed significantly to James Bond's enduring popularity. Grading: B Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Joshua H This is very much a movie of it's time and it feels so old as a action film that it was hard for me to get invested. However there was some stuff to enjoy. The main thing is that Sean Connery is really good as James Bond and really engaging in the role, it's probably because of him that this had now become this massive franchise, it was Intresting just seeing how they did action movie compared to now as well as seeing some the impact the film does have on culture. So yeah overall I good enough watch Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Bill E No other actor says "Bond. James Bond" as well as Connery.
