One of the greatest fictional creations of all time, James Bond has over the course of half a century permeated into the popular culture in a way few other figures, real or imagined could hope to equal. Initially a literary character created by Ian Fleming, today Bond is best known through his portrayals in film and this Blu-ray collection showcases some of the greatest films in high-definition 1080p for the first time.

Opening the collection is Sean Connery portraying what is arguably the quintessential James Bond in Dr No (1962), From Russia With Love (1963) and Thunderball (1965). Roger Moore continues starring in Live and Let Die (1973) and For Your Eyes Only (1981). Pierce Brosnan's period as Bond closes the collection with his film role as bond in Die Another Day (2002). The variety on offer means this box set is an opportunity that fans of the Bond films should find impossible to pass up and should be a core part of film afficanados Blu-ray collection. - A.B.
