Ray C A much more complex Bond film when compared to Dr. No that features more exciting action sequences and stronger villains. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/24/25 Full Review David D You can see it begin to move away from the classic black and white serial filmography that was glaringly on display in Dr No. The world building is in place, recurring baddies and gadgets. Everyone has their favourite Bond. This isn’t mine, but he is great. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/25 Full Review Frank B In my opinion the best Bond film. Robert Shaw & Sean Connery play a great cat & mouse game. Lots of suspense & action & comedy. Connery is James Bond nobody could have played Bond in this movie except Connery but Robert Shaw was his equal as Bond's nemesis. Great movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/25 Full Review Oliver J Critics Consensus: “From Russia with Love” sharpens everything that made Bond a sensation—delivering a tighter story, higher stakes, and a more grounded sense of espionage that makes it one of the franchise’s most sophisticated entries. Review: Building on the success of Dr. No, From Russia with Love refines the Bond formula into something sleek, suspenseful, and remarkably polished. Sean Connery exudes even greater confidence as 007, combining charm and ruthlessness in perfect balance. The film trades gadgets and grand spectacle for intrigue and shadowy double-crosses, capturing the tension of Cold War spycraft with an elegance rarely matched in the series. Director Terence Young gives the story a brisk pace and a more mature tone, while the Istanbul setting and train-bound finale with Robert Shaw’s chilling Red Grant deliver some of the most gripping moments in Bond history. Daniela Bianchi’s Tatiana Romanova adds emotional depth to the intrigue, making this not just an adventure, but a romance touched by betrayal. Verdict: Smart, stylish, and thrillingly authentic, From Russia with Love stands as one of James Bond’s finest missions—a near-perfect blend of danger, desire, and classic espionage allure. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Joshua H This was a better sequel that sets a lot of things up and pays it off. Sean Connery is still great in the role and the action scenes are a lot better it feels there's just more going on compared to the last one. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Alexander S From Russia With Love undoubtedly surpasses Dr. No in terms of plot excitement and complexity. While Dr. No seemed to follow a more predictable Bond film template, From Russia With Love breaks away from this mold, presenting a narrative that's dives more engagingly in its espionage themes. Grading: A- Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
