Over the top with a sense of humor this was the first Bond film to really get 007 right. It is also a reason I like blu-rays in the streaming world. There are two commentaries though the first is difficult to understand, the second shines. Lots of bonus features add to the fun.
The second of the Bonds isn't quite up to the first, but is enjoyable. It does feel a bit frozen in time, but that might be part of the charm. The cold war was hot and nostalgia buffs will embrace that vibe.
The blu-ray is solid but just a bit lower quality I think than the ones before and after it. It doesn't feel as modern as some of the other Bond remasters but more like a classic film in good shape.
Not much to say that hasn't already been said. I would note that the blu-ray looks quite good even on a fairly good sized modern TV. The restoration was quite well done even if they were using older technology.
There are also nice bonus features and the commentary which is often a reworking of older interviews clipped and inserted into places where they match the scenes is well done. If you can find the 50th anniversary collection on sale, it is worth getting if you enjoy behind the scenes information.
