Dr No is probably one of the better ones, but the best is still to come in future Bond films.
This movie is pretty slow, but that doesn't stop it from being enjoyable. It features the best actor to play Bond (Sean Connery), the usual beautiful women, an interesting villan, fantastic set design from Ken Adams, etc... However, the one liners aren't quite there, the girl really does nothing except provide scenery and the movie doesn't really build up much suspense.
One other problem I had with the movie was the soundtrack. I have the DVD, but unfortunately it seemed to vary considerably. The volume of the voices would often be very soft and then there would be a ridiculously loud explosion.
Anyway, this film is certainly a classic and it's well worth watching if you're a fan of the series.
7/10
