Sean Connery is not my favorite Bond, but he's quite fun…and somehow perfect for the super-misogynistic, unintentionally-racist debut of the franchise. Expand

In which only who perfectly plays - young Sean Connery. Plot absolutely boring and trivial. The movie obviously not applies for a lot of things, and everything would be normal if not awful work of make-up artists. So it was necessary to spoil Sean Connery to try. Why was to him to paint lips? It I not to understanding. Expand

Dr. No is simply the beginning of something that no one saw coming: the longest running and (possibly) most successful saga in cinema.

The born of a cinema symbol

In this film, the first of the Bond franchise, we see how the British secret agent going to the Bahamas in order to investigate the mysterious Dr. No, which believed to be responsible for the disappearance of several people, including another agent.

This film is much simpler than other movies that followed, but contains one of the most iconic scenes of the franchise: the first appearance of Bond, sitting at the table of baccarat, saying his staff "Bond ... James Bond". Since then, we repeatedly hear this presentation that everyone (even those who don't appreciate the character) associate today to the British agent. Directed by Terence Young, the film features Sean Connery as Bond, in a role that will immortalize him. The actor shares the scene with Ursula Andress, the first "Bond-girl" (It was the biggest role of her career, followed by a series of participation's in B movies and in another Bond film, made on the sidelines of the official franchise). Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell also here begin their passage through the franchise as M, head of British intelligence, and his secretary, Miss Moneypenny.

This movie, despite being simpler and not having the commercial apparatus of next films, is still a classic that is at the heart of any Bond fan. Thus was born one of the longest, lasting and fruitful film franchises ever.

Dr No, while still being a classic, hasn't aged the best but is still an enjoyable (often boring) entry in the Bond franchise
