"From Russia with Love" is all a James Bond film needs to be: A classic spy plot, beautiful women, entertaining action scenes, cool gadgets, great villains, spectacular locations (Istambul and Venice) and the introduction of famous elements of the Bond franchise including SPECTRE and Q. Sean Connery is good as always and he's very charismatic as James Bond, but Robert Shaw is a strong adversary to Bond as the assassin and the fight in the train carriage is memorable. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me Sean Connery is the best bond but the epic fight Daniel Craig had on the roof of the moving train, the casino scenes, the lift shooting etc was pure Bond at its best. Skyfall had all the elements of Bond in spades except for the sexual and seduction scenes. They seemed to be very minimal for my liking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
