James Bond: The Ultimate Collection (1962-2012) + Volume Collections

[Wade Wilson]

Welp, my black box set arrived yesterday, but the blue plastic spindle on the inside of one of the cases was broken, so the discs just kind of lay there. I'll be sending it back.

Not quite. Half of DAD sucked and the others were good.

I would be curious if any one who hasn’t redeemed their digital copies on VUdU could try today….. VUdU updated their James Bond 24 Film bundle to now be a 25 film bundle with No Time to Die.
I ordered this set but mine doesn’t arrive until early January… but I am worried that the updated VUdU bundle will prevent the digital code from being redeemable.
Please let me know if you try to redeem your digital codes over the next few days. Thanks

I just got mine today and was able to redeem them on Vudu without any issue.

I agree with you. There's no better way to celebrate the 60th Anniversary than to release the UHD set. The timeline certainly looks to be October-November as the music feature of the series documentary will be released on Apple TV+ in the US in October 2022.
I just hope that the set is not upscaled but native 4K with HDR and hopefully Dolby Atmos for a least all of the Brosnan and the Craig movies along with new documentaries while keeping the main docs that were on the old DVD's.

Are these redeeming in HDX only or will upgrade to UHD versions in Vudu?

That would be a goddamn abomination if the James Bond franchise (one of the greatest cinematic franchises of all time) wasn't given the best possible restoration and upgrade for each and every film. They need to meticulously restore the original camera negatives for each film, and then scan it with the best possible digital scanners, to give us the best possible 4K release. Anything less just wouldn't make since for a franchise like this.

I know they already did a restoration way back for the DVDs, but I'm sure they could do even better now that we're 15+ years later.

As for the music feature documentary you mentioned, I hope that will be included in the 60th anniversary set on a disc. That would be awesome.

On one hand, I hope so. I've been wishing for a complete 4K James Bond set since 4Ks were a thing. On the other, dammit, I just bought this set. Wouldn't that freaking figure.

It’s sad that the more modern bond films made before the Craig bond films are going to look awful because of the extremely dated cgi especially the most hated of that era of bond films die another day.

To be perfectly honest, as long as they make GoldenEye look top notch, I don't care a whole lot about TND, TWINE, or DAD. I've always hated those three movies.

I haven't seen any of the Pre-Craig Bonds since 2008 so they're a little fuzzy, but I don't recall a ton of bad CGI in GoldenEye. Not like the iceberg wave surfing nonsense in DAD.

Has there been any announcement of a complete set including No Time to Die?

Not yet.

A bit off topic but Goldeneye appears to be coming to Xbox:

No, but hope so. My OCD is kicking in with the new one outside the box lol. Hopefully sooner than later as it will be quite a while before we get a new movie.

Would you buy another blu-ray box just to satisfy your ocd? I'm thinking 4K set or bust (I'm short Spectre and No time to die and Skyfall is a separate white disc inside the 50 box)

You could just buy a five-disc Viva Elite case to replace the four-disc one that’s in the set and put NTTD in there with the other Craig films
