Dr. No is the first James Bond movie, and little did they then know how much of a franchise they had started. It doesn't really stand up still, but there's several thing making it well worth a look. Not only is many still claiming Sean Connery is the best Bond there ever was, we've got a memorable Ursula Andress "Bond-babe"-scene stepping out of the ocean and there's the first cool Bond intro.

Then we can forgive Dr. No for being a quite boring villain, the action sequences being very outdated and the plot being thin at best. It's the beginning of an era still lasting, and its almost blasphemy to write it off on such reasons alone.
