James Bond 24-Film Ultimate Collection (Blu-ray)

I would give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Having bought all the James Bond VHS and DVDs over the years, I found this collection well worth replacing what I had. This collection contains 24 Bond movies, including Spectre (only omitting the non-canons--the 1954 TV special Casino Royale, the 1967 Woody Allen Casino Royale spoof, and Never Say Never Again). My DVDs/Blu-rays were mostly Special Edition or Ultimate Edition, most non-digital. 1) having digital of them all is wonderful, although there are no special features on digital. 2) All of the special features of both the Special and Ultimate Editions are combined in this Ultimate Collection, which allows me to reduce my collection. Yay! Plus, there are lots and lots more special features on these movies--until you hit the Daniel Craig era. 3) The only 2 movies I'm keeping from my old collection are the 2-disc Special Edition of Die Another Day and the 2-disc Widescreen Edition of Casino Royale (Daniel Craig), because they both have special features the new collection does not (e.g., the Madonna music video). 4) The menus of these discs are annoying--you have to search to find the extras, and you may not be sure you've found them all--and the discs of the Daniel Craig era are also annoying for the same reason (but not in the same way! Sigh.) 5) The discs are all set in the same format until Daniel Craig, and then they change--they're the individual Blu-rays packed in the new collection, with no formatting to make them identical with the rest of the collection. Lack of thought. The later discs have far fewer special features, and almost no commentary. Disappointing. 6) I miss the collectible booklets from the Special Editions, which had production information not in this collection. It would be nice to include it somehow. My griping is because this could be better--but it is the best we have seen so far. If you don't have them all, are a Bondaholic, or love special features or digital, get this Collection!

These movies look great on the Blu-ray player. You’ve probably never seen the early Bond movies in such high definition and clarity. Must-buy for any Bond fan!

Even if you have a couple movies, this is still a great collection. I was able to get it on sale, and it comes with all digital movies as well. Now I don't have to wait until Thanksgiving holiday for a marathon and I can have my own anytime.

Great box set its a must have for any movie collector i can't tell you how many time's I've rewatched this box set it never gets old

This collection is a great collection but one thing is that it doesn’t contain Never Say Never Again which is bad for the collection which is understandable due to the fact that it was Sean Connery’s last bond movie and it was a remake (different version) of ThunderBall. You can by chance purchase Never Say Never Again on Vudu. It’s a shame that Never Say Never Again isn’t part of the collection.

This is the second time I have purchased a Bond collection. The first set of Blu-Rays was of course the James Bond Collection that had a white box featuring all the actors on the front. That set had space reserved for Spectre. I've seen some reviews indicating that this Ultimate collection was much the same and that space was set aside for Spectre. The copy I received from Amazon did in fact already include a copy of Spectre so I don't have to worry about buying a separate copy of that film. This box set comes with a small booklet featuring promotional posters from around the world for each film. It's more of an excerpt from the proper standalone book from DK publishing. It's still a nice bit of added material though. This set also contains a special bonus disc with some special features including "The story so far" "The shadow of Spectre" and a 90 minute documentary "Everything or nothing + World of Bond, Being Bond and Designing 007: Fifty years of Bond Style. I had seen this particular set at my local best buy for $180. So I was quite surprised to see it here on Amazon for $130 or so. Some reviews that I have seen here on Amazon have indicated that they were unable to redeem the digital films which is arguably the strongest reason for buying this set, getting physical and digital both. I won't dispute their claims however all I can say is that I was able to redeem my digital copies without a hitch. I redeemed the code through Fox digital redeem as instructed on the insert. Upon doing so I was able to go to Vudu to redeem it. I should note that I have my Vudu linked to Movies Anywhere which also is connected with Ultraviolet. So maybe they retooled the set seeing as how it has Spectre included? As far as presentation is concerned? The box has a slightly different color scheme opting for black and some pictures of the bond baddies on the liner art for the multivolume blu-ray sets. You can find the Bond 50 collection on Amazon as well at a lesser price. However from what I have seen the way the discs are stored will make them more prone to scratching compared to the plastic hard cases found in this set. This set is also more compact too so that is something you may want to consider if your short on space. The only other thing I would have to offer is that it is disappointing that Never Say Never Again is not a part of the set. The reasoning for this (while unfortunate) is that MGM see it as a spinoff and not an official Bond film. The good news for those looking to complete the collection is that Never Say Never Again is available on Vudu in HDX for about $14. It's not ideal, but it's probably the next best thing. So while this set is very nice indeed, it's a bit short of earning the Ultimate title.

Great deal on this set. Digital codes worked great and I can’t wait to get watching this set. Not sure why others are saying they had problems with the code not working for them. It is only available in Vudu, but that’s where all my accounts are linked to anyway. Just follow the directions on the insert.

I got this for a hundred dollars off and I jumped at the price. I recently bought no time to die on blu ray as well so I could own the entire bond collection to date too. I have no complaints this is great!!

I wanted James Bond collection for years and finally got this set! The HD video as well as audio quality are great.
