i love that the movie opens with them being like, “okay, bond, here’s your assignment: there’s some random chick who is obsessed with you and wants to bang you... go see what that’s all about!”
Robert FrancoDec 28, 2024“So Bond we are sending you on a date. Here’s an explosive briefcase”
Paul BlakeJan 3, 202080 A tantalizing espionage theme-park-ride. Flows from pulp to mystery and pleasurable thrills without a jarring moment. Bond movies often fall flat in their sexual tension, operating as forced depictions of their inherent misogyny masquerading as complicated gender…

"Red wine with fish. Well that should have told me something." Quintessential Bond. As only the second installment in the franchise, it's incredible both how fully formed it already feels and how much heavy lifting it does for the future of the series. All the tropes…
ScreeningNotesAug 2, 2020why is there so much littering in this film
liam fOct 8, 2021Has there ever lived a human that looked and sounded more like a movie star than 60s Sean Connery?

This movie feels like Bond has finally gotten in its flow. Unlike Dr. No, From Russia With Love has a Bond theme, Q makes his first appearance, and SPECTRE and Blofeld introduced. Deniela Bianchi is a captivating Bond girl in this film, and this Bond feels more romantic…
Ethan ColburnOct 18, 2022This movie introduced me to the concept of drinking specific wines with specific foods and now every time I see someone eating cod and guzzling merlot I just assume they’re evil. Despite the plot being a little loose in places I love the vibe and characters in this. Begins…

- Dreykarr lovedFrom Russia with Love
This is an obviously good classic and definitely deserves that title
Dyl lovedFrom Russia with LoveIt’s got a very boring 1h and 20 as it’s just sex scenes and one action scene that’s kinda mid but the last 30 minutes are Brilliant as they are action packed and full of what the story lead up to. I prefer Dr.No but only barely Overall 8.8/10 Good bond flick Hyped for Goldfinger
Matthew Golad lovedFrom Russia with LoveI was surprised how much I enjoyed the movie. Some great action. One brutal fight. For the time, it feels well done. Excited for the next one. I’ve seen Austin Powers dozens of times. So it was also fun seeing so many areas they parodied came from this movie specifically.
- Tom Redmond lovedFrom Russia with Love
Maybe its not aged so well and certainly a bit cringe on the sexism front. But back in the day; Sean Connery, 2 cracking baddies in Robert Shaw & what's her name with the flick knife in toe of her shoe...whats not to love. One of my top 3 from 1963
Mtrees likedFrom Russia with LoveI’ll lump all the James Bond films up to Casino Royale into one review. I love them all and there’s very few instalments that I don’t enjoy. I hope they keep making them till the day I die, fantastic films! 13/07/2023 (Historical Review)
Henry likedFrom Russia with LoveFrom Russia with Love is a thrilling Bond film from start to finish, with a heightened sense of realism. The espionage and tension are palpable, making it one of the more grounded entries in the series. Rating: H- 8.5/10, L- 7.5/10
- Figo Nyberg likedFrom Russia with Love
Great bond film, a bit complicated to understand the plot and what is going on. Overall 7/10, Sean Connery is great actor and James Bond.
Sam Masters lovedFrom Russia with LoveThe second entry in the Connery-Bond era was just as much of a hit as the first! Action packed, teeming with charisma and charm
Mickerdoo likedFrom Russia with LoveClassic Bond antics. Wild that this was made in ‘63. Enjoy Connery as Bond. Action sequences are a little outdated and rigid.

Metacritic
Exciting, handsomely staged, and campy.

The New Yorker
For my money, still the best Bond, with a screwball plotline that keeps the locales changing and the surprises coming—even when reason dictates that the picture should be over. Lotte Lenya and Robert Shaw make a creepy pair, and Daniela Bianchi embodies the essence of centerfold sex, circa 1964.

A cracking cold war story.
