was killed while investigating in Jamaica. Bond soon finds that many
strange things happen on the island of Crab key, such as a dragon. On the
island is actually a secret underground nuclear reactor that isfueled by
radioactive rocks on the surface on the island. Dr.No has plans to interfere
with a U.S. rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. Dr.No is an atomic
phyisisist that was rejected for a job at both the west and the east atomic
powers of the world. He wanted to get back at them for not accepting him
for a job and take over the world at the same time. Bond gets captured while on
the island trying to sneak in. From the inside of the base, Bond does the usual
stuff and saves the world, and the girl (Honey Rider, played by Ursula Andress).
even though it was simple. I think the plot is semi-believable, which adds to
the effect. It did not have a lot of action scenes like the recent ones do,
I think that Sean Connery is the best James Bond so that also makes me
rate this movie higher.

Plot: The Russians have a decoder that SPECTRE and the British

Plot: Goldfinger, an extremely rich man who is obsessed with gold, is ploting to detonate a nuclear bomb inside Fort Knox. This will make his gold, which he smuggles into the country
in the form of car parts, more valuable (about 10 times). He has a "Flying Circus", lead by Pussy Galore, that is going to fly over Fort Knox and release a nerve gas that makes you unconscious
for 24 hours. Then they are going to detonate the electric fence that surrounds the fort. Once in side they will place the atomic bomb inside with the gold and, unfortunately, Mr. Bond. He
was captured by Goldfinger and escaped to hear his plan. Then he was caught again. The army was notified of Goldfinger's plan (by Pussy Galore) and some of theme pretended to fall asleep with
the gas. Once the bomb was inside, they "woke up" and attacked. They made it inside to the bomb and, with 007 seconds left, the bomb was deactivated.
Review: I thought it was a very good movie. The action scenes are quite good. There is gold everywhere in the last scene (yes!!!). The name of the girl is sort of weird (if you know what I mean).
I would see this movie before I saw Dr.No or From Russia With Love because I think it is better.
Rating: 8
Plot: SPECTRE hijacks a NATO plane that is carrying
2 atomic bombs. They demand a lot of money or they'll nuke a major city in the
US or England. Bond is in the Dominican Republic recovering from his last mission
at a health clinic at the time of the hijacking. He sees a man, that he later finds
out is the pilot of the NATO plane, dead in the clinic. SPECTRE hid the plane
underwater, camoflagued it, and hid the bombs in a secret chamber als underwater.
Bond returns to London and fins out about the bombs, then is sent back to the Dominican
Rebublic to try to recover the bombs. There he meets Domino, the sister of the
pilot who was dead. Her "gaurdian" is Largo, who is actually #2 (a SPECTRE agent).
He owns the Disco Volanti, a ship which Bond thinks is carrying the bombs. He trys
to use Domino to find out if the bombs are on board. She agrees to try because
she finds out her brother is dead. Bond learns through Domino that the bombs are not
on board. He pretends to be one of Largo's divers that are going to bring the bombs
aboard the Disco Volanti. He is discovered and locked in the chamber where the
bombs were. He gets out and alearts the Coast Gaurd whrere the bombs are. There
is a huge underwater battle scene between largo's divers and the Coast Gaurd divers.
The Coast Guard wins, of course. Bond gets aboard the Disco Volanti, which is carrying
Largo and Domino. Domino is locked in her room and Largo is on the bridge. Bond fights
people on the bridge, he kills everyone except Largo who pulls a gun on Bond. Someone
helped Domino free and she comes in and kills Largo with a spear gun.
Review: This is, I think, the best Bond movie
yet. It has GREAT underwater scenes. Bond is his usual smooth self. The title
scene is really cool with sillouettes of naked women swimming around an guys with
spear guns following theme. If you had to pick one of the Connery movies, this is
the one to get.
Rating:8 1/2
Plot: British Intelligence suspects that Blofeld is
in disguise as a count at a reasearch center in the Alps. Bond is sent to find
out if he is actually there so Bond disguises himself as a geneologist. When he
gets there, he finds 8 lady "paitents" that are being "cured" of allergies.
After being locked in his room, Bond escapes to go "see" one of the paitents
and finds someone else there that knocks him unconsious. When he wakes up, he
is captured by Blofeld. Blofeld puts him in the room with all the gears that
work the tram to the village at the bottom of the mountain. He escapes and
hears Blofeld's plan to have the paitents release a virus over the earth. They
hypnoticly are contact him every night. Then Bond skies down the mountain
being chased by SPECTRE henchmen. At the bottom, he meets Tracy and they drive
to a barn and sleeps there. Tracy happens to be in love with Bond and, for the
first and only time in the Bond series, Bond really loves her too. They ski out
in the morning and are chased by SPECTRE again. Blofeld starts and avalanch
and captures Tracy. She is taken back to the lab on the mountain. Bond gets several
helicopters to blow up the lab so Blofeld can't contact the paitents to spread
the virus. He escapes on a bobsled and Bond follows and there is a fight.
Bond wins and the world is saved once again. He and Tracy get married but while
they are driving away, Blofelds shoots and kills her.
Plot: An American spaceship carrying 2 US astronauts
is intercepted by an unidentified ship. The US think it is the Russians that did it.
Russia denies the charges. The US says that if thre is interference with the next
spaceship they launch in a few weeks, they will think of it as an act of war.
It is thought by the British Government that the unidentified ship is landing on a
small island in Japan. Bond is then sent to Japan to try to confirm where the spaceship
is landing. He has to "become Japanese" before he can go over the island and search
for the base. He gets kind of a "fake" plastic surgery. They glue on a wig and put
things on his eyes to make them look Japanese. Then he gets married to a Japanese woman.
He also trains to be a ninja at the school owned by his friend Tiger. Bond flys
over a volcano in "Little Nellie," a helicopter that can be disasembled and fit into
3 trunks. He is chased by 4 other helicopters that shoot at him. Bond blows them all up,
of course. That night, he and his wife climb the volcano and go down into it.
Bond throws a rock in and it bounces ofthe "water" and makes a loud clang.
The water is actually metal. Bond discovers that the volcano is actually the base
for the unidentified spaceship. The "water" opens and lets things like spaceships
and helicopters go out. A helicpoter then comes out and Bond gets in while the doors are open.
The volcano is SPECTRE's secret base where the rocket is launched from. Bond disguises
himself as an astronaut but gets caught. He is taken to Blofeld where he learns of
Blofeld's plan. He is trying to start a nuclear war between the US and Russia.
When they completly anniahlate eachother, SPECTRE will come in and takeover the world.
Bond opens the volcano doors and about 100 ninjas drop in. There is a huge battle
scene in the base. When the technichins evacuates the control room, Bond gets in and
press the button to blow up SPECTRE's spaceship that is about to intercept a US ship.
The war is stopped.
Review: This movie is okay. Th title scene is
not bad, not great, but not bad. Threr is a great battle scene in the end.
Also, there is a good ariel fight with helicopters. It's pretty good.
Rating:7 1/2
Plot: Bond is sent to find out why smugglers are trying to get all enormous
amounts of diamonds. He pretends to be a smuggler that was sent to help Tiffany
Case. They put the diamonds in a dead body and pretend the body is their brother.
The body is cremated and the urn is filled with the diamonds. They are actually
fake but so is the money that Bond, who is now Peter, was paid was also fake. He and
Tiffany go to find out where the diamonds are going to and find it is a research facility
in the desert. Bond later gets captured by Blofeld in a penthouse apartment on the
top of the Whyte House (a casino in Las Vegas). He finds that Blofeld has kidnapped
Whyte and is pretending to be him. His plan is to turn all those diamonds into a big
laser in space and blow things up. Bond escapes and alerts the CIA who goes and frees
Whyte. Then Bond singles out where Blofeld is controlling the laser he has launched
into space (Blofeld is now holding New York hostage for many, many, $$$$$ or he'll blow it up).
He is on an oilrig in California. Bond has to switch the tape which controls the laser.
He does but Tiffany accidentally switches them back. There is a huge battle scene
with helicopters and the people on the oilrig. Bond escapes with Tiffany, the oilrig blows up,
the world is saved, all by Bond.
Review: I thought it was pretty good, not awesome, but pretty good. Blofeld
is played by a non-Blofeld-looking person. There is a very good climax to the movie
with lots of action. The opening song is good, but there are certain parts I don't
like. There are some good chase scenes in it. Overall, it was an ok movie.

want. SPECTRE has a plan to get the decoder through the British Secret
Service.
SPECTRE hires a woman, Tatiana, to help them with Bond but
she thinks she is helping Russia. She sends a line to Bond that she has the
decoder and will give it to him if he
comes to get it. The British know it is a
trap but they want the decoder so bad that they will do it. #5 (an agent in
SPECTRE) sends a another SPECTRE agent around to follow
Bond and
make sure he doesn't die until they want him to. A friend in Istanbul, Kerim
Bey, is helping him get the decoder. It is in a government room and they
blow up part
of the floor so everybody in the building clears out and JB and
Tatiana leave through the sewers. With the decoder, they try to get back
to England and they take a train through
Yugoslavia. Kerim has arranged
with the conductor for the train to stop at a certain point where a car will be
waiting for them. He has to keep someone company to make sure they
don't escape. The SPECTRE agent kills both Kerim and the man he is
guarding and makes it look like they killed each other. The train does not
stop at the right place now that
Bond's friend is dead. The SPECTRE
agent poses as a British agent and meets Bond on the train. Bond figures it
out and there is a struggle which, of course, Bond wins. He and the
girl
escape and cross the border where they get on a powerboat. They
encounter other boats trying to stop them and they blow them up. Back at
the hotel, #5 tries to take the
decoder and kill Bond herself. She fails and gets shot.
action scenes including a struggle in a train car and a powerboat race. The
plot made sense, which was good. I would say it is okay.

Review: I know that this movie has a really bad reputation,
but I don't think it's that bad. The title scene is horrible. If you like skiing,
you might like this movie, but you might not, so don't see it for the skiing scenes.
It would be much better if Sean Connery played Bond. This one would definetly not
be my choice Bond movie, but it's not as bad as everyone says it is.
