Of the fresh Blu-rays here, only Goldeneye seems to suffer any major calamities. Some of these titles are also available as standalone retail exclusives, so be on the lookout for those if you're not keen on forking over the cash for all 22 films. The new titles presented on Blu-ray for the first time include You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies. The masters used here appear to be the same ones that were being used on the previous Blu-ray releases. Below is our unboxing of Bond 50:Įach film is presented in 1080p/AVC with a soundtrack mixed in 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. It wouldn't have been hard to have a visual breakdown of all the extras. There's even an extra blank page on both books. Unfortunately, like the Indiana Jones set, there's no page or booklet which tells you what bonus features are on each disc. The discs themselves are housed in sleeves, which could lead to cardboard tearing or disc scratching over time, so be careful. Each page of the book features two films from the series, with page art highlighting the various Bonds over the years.

The series is split between two elegant books: 1962-2012. The set itself comes in a thick, glossy cardboard sleeve.

It would have also been neat to see the early 1954 adaptation of Casino Royale, from the TV series “Climax!” That episode is found on the DVD of the 1967 version of Casino Royale, but hasn't been seen since. For completists' sake, though, it would have been fantastic to see them included. Rights issues likely kept those titles off the set. Unfortunately, the set does not feature the non-Eon films, including Casino Royale (1967) and Never Say Never Again. There's even a space in the set for Skyfall, the latest chapter in the James Bond legacy.

James Bond: The Best to the Worst Bond 50 collects all 22 Eon productions, from Dr. But, with those issues now resolved, and a new Bond film on the way, James Bond has made a triumphant return to the format he was made for. Alas, because of legal/bankruptcy issues, the titles were halted before all 22 films could make it to the format. A few years ago, right around the time Quantum of Solace was hitting theaters, James Bond pictures started to trickle to Blu-ray.
