they don't look to be very long according to the bbfc site
I will do a detailed review of the new JB Collection box on Blu-ray in approx 7-8 hours.
- Some of the title sequences were windowboxed and slightly distorted.
- The 5.1 remixes are great, except where they've actually added/changed sounds from the original mix - the music in the Gumbold safe-cracking scene in OHMSS is supposed to build until it's blaring out increasing the tension as Gumbold returns, not so in this new 5.1 mix
Review of the James Bond Collection Blu-ray Box set that was released this week:
In this new set there are all 23 Bond movies from Dr. No to Skyfall plus one Bonus Disc.
The design of the Blu-rays are all the same, as you'll see from one photograph below.
There is a white sleeve around the solid black box which holds the Blu-rays. It's nicely designed with the imprinted names of all 23 James Bond movies.
While it's nowhere as beautiful as the Bond 50 box it's certainly handy.
There is a book(let) 52-pages with really nice poster art and description in it. Again see the photographs for examples.
Sadly, the Quantum Of Solace and Skyfall Blu-rays are identical with the initial releases. Meaning there are the useless trailers for movies like Valkyrie, The Day The Earth Stood Still or A Good Day To Die Hard on it. Shame. Also the menu designs are the same and not fitting all the menu designs from Dr. No to Casino Royale. Shame again.
The special features on QOS and SF are the same as on the initial release.
The Bonus Disc is spectacular!!
It contains: all in Full HD
- Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story Of 007, 98 minutes
- *Designing 007: 50 Years Of Bond Style
- *Being Bond
- *World of Bond Featurettes:
Titles Sequences (one hour long!), Gadgets, Villains, Bond Girls, Locations, Bond in motion
- The Shadow of Spectre, 10 minutes brand new featurette!
- The Story so far, 9 minute brand new featurette!
*already released in the Bond 50 box
Here are photos I've taken of the thing:
If you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.
Yay or nay regarding the two new featurettes? As in, are they the very least interesting or just marketing nonsense?
I'm sorry to hear that. It seems the US Version is different and doesn't have the book or the EoN documentary.
Frankly I find that rather idiotic, why do they market that box so differently in the various regions.
Watched them: both have Purvis and Wade explaining things with lots of movie footage.
One tells the story from CR to SF which is a nice feature, something like a "last week on..." thing.
The other shows the detailed history of Spectre from Dr.No to DAF.
After seeing that it doesn't make any sense to me that DN was not included in those "Spectre" steelbooks.
There is no footage of SP in those documentaries. I like them.
I won't be buying it either way, however.
The first thing I did was tear up a piece of paper into 23 pieces, write 1 to 23 on them and pick one out at random. Just my luck, I got number 11 #-o :))
So I sat down and put on moonraker , the eleventh film. Let me tell you, I was blown away at the quality of this transfer!! =D>
I always thought Moore was still young enough in MR, turns out I was wrong. In HD, you can see every wrinkle and sag in sir Rogs face! :))
I can't imagine what he will look like when I get round to number 14!! :D
Seeing how good Moonraker looks on bluray just gets me excited to watch the old classics like FRWL and GF!! :)
This is one satisfied Bond fan with on recommended Bluray set. Now I'm off to watch SPECTRE.... ;)
Do I miss something? Is there absolutely any reason for me to purchase this brand new "luxury" collection of Blu-Ray´s? Can you convince me to do it :))
Right now I´m waiting for tonight´s Spectre premiere here in Finland, this waiting is killing me!!
Moonraker is one of the best looking blurays because it is scanned in 4k. The PTS is crystal clear. I can't wait till you get to watch DN-DAF. Amazing quality.
@JNO Are you talking about the new steelbooks?
Of course I can read about them by myself but I was curious to read some user reviews...
I wanted the steelbooks, but I've spent so much damn money on Bond DVD's and Blurays its ridiculous. I'll wait until the next upgrade to 4k comes around before I sink any more money into a new Bond collection. Except for Spectre of course! The good thing with the newer films is that you get a DVD, Bluray, and Digital copy all in one set for around $20 bucks.
Honestly, $12 bucks a pop for those steelbooks from Best Buy isn't bad at all. I think there was nine different choices. It could be a good investment for a future sell on ebay. I would definitely buy them if I had the extra money.
I think its standard operating procedure for a release of a brand new collection set just before the next new Bond film is released. You can set your watch by it from now on. It's the perfect time for them to push the collection out to new fans who haven't partaken yet.
And that Bond 50 Blu-Ray-set was so damn expensive, I bought it straight away when it was released. But it is such a joy to watch those movies! Ultimate Edition DVD`s were very good also but Bond 50 is just in its own league.
Maybe I´ll wait for the next generation upgrades before I´m totally out of money.
Which ones?
SHAME ON YOU SONY!
If I were litigious I'd start some sort of class action suit to get them done AND replace the discs in question for those of us who bought in prior.

This seems to be a great deal and it would be a nice gift as well for Christmas if you need gift ideas. Not for sure if this includes Digital HD or not. If that's a deal breaker make sure to investigate that before purchase.
**I believe this only last today unfortunately, so if your interested pull the trigger now.**
Wow! Outstanding deal, thanks for sharing!
