James Bond 007: Ultimate Collector's Set

Reviewed by:

Simply put, this "Ultimate Collector's Edition" is all four of the James Bond Ultimate Editions (previously released separately), along with Casino Royale, loaded into one awesome box that weights about as much as all the Bond girls combined. To say it's massive is an understatement: There are 21 movies; 42 discs; and over 40 hours of documentaries, interviews, and overall Bondy-goodness. Granted, this is the third time an entire Bond collection has been available. The first were three separate volumes titled The James Bond Collection. (Yawn!) Then they put out the four James Bond Ultimate Editions this time last year. Granted, they were just as great then, giving all 20 films (yes, even Octopussy and The Living Daylights) superior treatment with commentaries and documentaries. Now MGM finally got their crap together and put them all in one simple box. We would have preferred the packaging to be shaped like an underwater volcano, but that would have destroyed our shelf space. Plus, for under $200 you can own 45 years of the most iconic superagent as he saves the world and has crazy sex with the hottest women on the planet. Hey, on second thought, this guy is a real selfish jerk.
