Like thousands of others I enjoyed the James Bond films. This documentary adds a great deal of information about Ian Fleming, the author of the original stories and other details about how the James Bond name became known worldwide. The documentary has many interesting details, for example interviews with the daughter of Albert R Cubby" "Cubby" Broccoli, the producer who had a lifetime interest in the Bond Films. Each James Bond actor is presented with personal statements about how they were selected to play James Bond, some with PG-14 details of their personal lives. This documentary brings to memory details of various Bond films that is almost like seeing the films over again. I rate this one of the best documentaries I have seen.

I find myself watching this film again when come across it on my movie channel. I think Jen Proske's impersonation is excellent. The film is outrageous and violent but entertaining. Vampire movies are all violent. I suspect vampire film aficionados are offended when this genre is spoofed. The fact that there are relatively few reviews does not mean it's a bad movie. I realize the sparse reviews can mean a dud. Vampires Suck is not a great movie but I believe the movie is significantly better than its IMDb rating. I could be wrong. I notice there is not a large number of reviews. The fact that the movie is not popular speaks for itself. However it probably did not get much promotion. I notice box office income is double it's production cost. I suspect this movie did not have much promotion.

To IMDb staff: Please remove MD from my name on your site. I am a physician but I prefer to keep my movie interest separate from professional activities.

The actors in this French movie with English titles work hard. They act as if they feel everything intensely. The film may be enjoyed if the viewer is French and familiar with the French language and customs. I was unable to feel what the actors obviously wanted to get across to viewers. I was unable to suspend disbelief. The actors dress and personal hygiene does not correspond to what I see every day in America. This may not be a negative to French audiences. The woman in the film regarded as an outstanding beauty would not be so to most American viewers. This criticism may be unfair if viewers expect most young women to be beauty-contest gorgeous. The French woman's persona and actions may make her beautiful to a French person. French audiences may appreciate the realism in dress and actions. If I was asked to recommend this film I would say that French audiences may find the movie entertaining. However American audiences are likely to have difficulty appreciating the French appearance, emotions and behavior.
