BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
This compilation is an excellent value for the money. With the purchase of both volumes you get all six of the Sean Connery Bond films (the best in my humble opinion). Each film comes with another disc of bonus material such as documentaries, trailers, interviews, etc. If this wasn't enough, each film features commentary tracks as well. Each film is remastered and the picture quality is extraordinary and very impressive especially when played on a blu-ray player and hdtv. If, like me, Connery is your favorite Bond and you've been looking for a set of his movies at a great price along with all this bonus material; then look no further.
The names Bond, James Bond
As a kid growing up I always looked forward to the marathon weekends featuring 007. To me Sean Connery and James Bond are synonomis with one another. I thought about purcahsing the entire Bond collection, but when you get right down to it, Sean Connery's movies are simply the best. There are six discs total including an extra feature disc for each movie. I guess the extra stuff is cool to a point, but it generally doesn't make a difference to me if it's included or not.
As for the discs themselves.....Volume two contains Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and my personal favorite Diamonds are Forever. The video and audio digital remaster of these movies is really well done in 5.1 dts. Watching on Blue Ray only enhances the quality. If you're a bond fan you will want these for your collection.
3 disc versus 6 disc!
I bought vol 1 AND 2 each the 3 disc version of the set. The 3 disc version is the movies themselves, it does not include the special features discs that accompany each film with the 6 disc version. This was great for me because I only wanted the movies and didn't really care for the extras and they're cheaper. Hope this clears up confusion as to what is included. Each disc does have some kind of commentary which I haven't explored. Great Bond movies!
