This set gets a one star rating for the way the playing of the movies was setup on the BluRay disks.

These are four great movies that I've enjoyed many years and I wanted the BluRay editions to see the best images I could on my new 4K television.  I've watched 3 out of the 4 so far.

I have several major complaints.

First, the BluRay disks are setup so I have to watch trailers for other movies that I don't want or even like.  I did not buy the BluRays to watch crummy trailers for bad movies!  This happens every time you watch the movies for as long as the BluRay remains in your collection.

Second, the menus are locked so you can't select what you want.

Third, the BluRays are setup such that there is no way to resume watching where you had to stop or power down the player for any reason what so ever.

Fourth, having to fight with the BluRays to avoid the trailers or to resume watching where I left off impairs the enjoyment of great movies.

I really wish that producers would think about their customers than their advertising office.  Because of having to watch the crummy trailers and not being able to resume the movie where I stopped, I would not buy this set again nor would I have bought it in the first place if I knew these problems existed.

Update:  I finally watched the fourth movie, Sand Pebbles.  That disk didn't have the problems that the other three have.  It was pleasant to be able to watch a movie with out trailers for other movies and to be able to stop the movie and be able come back to the stopping point with out fighting the BleRay set up.  I raised my rating to two stars because this disk was done right.

I have blue ray disks, but the quality of them appears as if it is coming out of composite video.
Grainy, and poor sound mixing.  We love the series, but question the medium.

I watch a ton of movies throughout the week, so it's not my DVD player. I purchased this dvd around Christmas and it was damaged. Anything beyond Scene 11 has some major interference on screen and the sound is jumpy so the viewer is unable to make out what that the actors are saying. You cannot even pretend to watch it. I sent my copy back and purchased from a different sender and purchased the movie again, but the same problem on a whole new DVD. This is definitely some type of print error on a certain number of these DVD. The movie would be great otherwise, as I watched the mandarin with subtitles. I do n't know what is wrong with the discs.

Just got my copy in February 2010 and have only watched (or tried to watch) two films so far. Kiss of the Vampire played fine, but Nightmare on the same side of the same disc pixelated and froze in the same spot on two different DVD players and a computer. The discs appear pristine to the naked eye, but clearly they are substandard as many previous reviews have noted. I add my warnings to the chorus: don't buy these DVDs!

I am on my third set after returning the first two.  Various disks would skip or just freeze outright making it impossible to watch.  Really unacceptable considering the price and the fact that it is not an isolated incident.

I bought the 12" laserdisc release of this movie some years ago, and the colors are vivid, the edges are sharp, and I could find little to complain about except they messed up the subtitles in several spots -- they were actually missing in certain scenes.

But laserdisc is a dead format. Now comes the DVD, and they've ruined the movie. The colors are washed out. Edge enhancement is very prominent and annoying. If you are watching on a progressive monitor -- the deinterlacing is bad. The picture looks fuzzy, in spite of the edge enhancement.

I thought the Return of Sherlock Holmes DVD transfers were bad, but this is worse. Shame, shame on all who had a hand in releasing this DVD edition.

EDITED as of 11/09/2007: There is a new version, a new transfer of this movie, in a combination HD-DVD and standard DVD package. I believe there is a Blu-Ray version too, also containing a standard DVD in the package. They have fixed the video problems I complained about in the original DVD release. I'm glad they finally got the mastering right. It's a beautiful rendering of a beautiful film. Overpriced, though.

I got this set for Christmas and started watching Season 1 today--made it through ONE episode and the second one kept locking up at varioud places--difficult to turn off the DVD player or eject the disc--
I updated the software for the Sony BDP-S5100 blu-ray player earlier this week so it was up to date--
and it is not the model that is listed as non-compatible--
Anyone else have this problem since the dics are not blu-ray themselves???
I am going to be very frustrated if I cannot play these dvds on anything but a NON-blu-ray player since all mine ARE blu-ray...
Why isn't there more info about this problem on the info about the set???

Played four movies in the Vol. 1 set.  .One played fine, and three froze several times while playing. The scene would stop completely and in a few seconds begin playing, stop again, and skip.  Haven't played any of the movies in Vol. 2 and Vol. 3.  This Vol. 1 set should be replaced, and I don't know how to get this done.  I'm sure the first movie, "The Renegade Ranger" can be made to play completely without any problem, because I watched it on TCM several weeks back and it was OK.  I took into consideration my DVD cleaner might be old and not cleaning properly, so I drove to Wal Mart and bought a new one.  Cleaned the player and tried again.  The same movies froze in the same place.  Checked the disc and it looked clean. This is the first problem I've had with any Amazon DVD purchase.  I'm sure the set can be sent free of the hesitation problem.  Thank you,  Don Hill Roberts

I love the series, but the DVD quality is what you might expect from a bootlegged copy, not a studio release. My set had damage on all three disks, and some episodes could not be watched fully. I will be returning these tomorrow! Very frustrating. Shame on you, Universal Studios!

I had the DVD versions of all of these movies and "upgraded" to the Blu Ray versions and I have to say that I am shocked by the audio in this package.  The levels are so high that even at low volumes the audio clips out.

So much for the next generation in home entertainment...

BAD QUALITY TRANSFER AND DISGRACEFUL PACKAGING .

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR: AROUND $8.00 DOLLAR A DISC !

PLEASE NOTE:
TO MY OPINION , IT WILL BE BATTER TO PURCHASE ALL THIS DISCS APART , ONE BY ONE , OR EVEN WAIT UNTIL OTHER STUDIO WILL MAKE THEM IN A MUCH BATTER TRANSFER QUALITY .

MY ADVISE: GO TO VIDEO STORE NEAR YOUR HOME , AND SEE THIS ITEM , CHECK THE PACKAGE , SEE THE VIDEO QUALITY BEFORE YOU PURCHASE IT !

EXCEPT THE LAST TOW DISCS (QUANTUM OF SOLACE & CASINO ROYAL) , ALL THE REST OF THE DISCS , TO MY OPINION , HAS A DVD QUALITY !

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WAITED FOR BOND COMPLETE SERIES TO BE AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY FORMAT .
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE TRANSFER QUALITY !

THE PACKAGING IS DISGRACEFUL !

UNBELIEVABLE - MANY DISCS HAS A VERY BAD EDGE CUTTING !!!

THIS BLU-RAY DISC DOES NOT LOOKS LIKE A WELL MADE DISCS !

I HAVE AT HOME A COLLECTION OF MORE THEN 700 BLU-RAY , AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS DISCS WITH THE BAD CUTTING EDGE , LOOK LIKE THE WORST CHEEP DVD DISCS !

MY LAST PURCHASE FROM MGM WAS THE: BEN-HUR Ultimate Collector's Edition , AND IT WAS PERFECT , FANTASTIC , EXCELLENT DISC QUALITY AND EXCELLENT PACKAGING , BUT HERE IN THE JAMES BOND CASE IT

I AM USING WIREWORLD HDMI CABLES WHICH COST $350 PER 1 METER

I AM USING SONY BLU-RAY BDP-CX7000ES AND SONY BLU-RAY BDP-S5000ES

I AM USING SONY BRAVIA MULTY SYSTEM MULTY REGION EUROPEAN MODEL WHICH COST OUTSIDE US $8500 USD
KDL55-HX920

I HAVE AT HOME THE ERLYER BOND BOX SET WHICH IS MUCH BATTER THEN THIS SET:
James Bond 10-Pack [Blu-ray]
ASIN: B00220MDI8

THIS IS MY OPINION

THANK YOU

Very bad transfer.  I would suggest buying the DVD version that was released in the late 1990s which was not a DVD-R.  That one was an official release with crystal-clear picture and sound, unlike this cheap release. I can't believe Amazon and studios are now partnering and selling customers DVD-Rs at new prices.  Unbelievable.  Buy the prior release, until there is a Blu-ray, if that ever happens.

I couldn't get the "english subtitles" to work so I didn't watch the movies. The way the "Subtitle Section" is programed, I found it "IMPOSSIBLE" to use. I'd like to own these movies but I won't buy movies that aren't EASY To Program" and this box set really sucks. The "Holding Case" is Horrible also!!! It forces you to touch the DVD playing surface.

Set is typical goodness for this series of releases, except for one thing. On Episode 80, about 2/3 of the way through the episode the video gets shuffled around and becomes de-sncyed with the audio. The shots of Mercury and the other Guardians jumping out the window is placed before Mercury snaps from all the pressure. Both the Blu-ray AND DVD have this exact same error.
