The Bond series may just be the epitome of toxic masculinity in Hollywood, but damn if they aren't good movies sometimes. Dr No is exactly what you should expect a Bond movie to be. It's a well-cast, well-shot, well done film with some good action scenes, beautiful foreign locations, and plenty of sexism and racism. The women are all there to fulfill Bond's sexual fantasies and the minorities are all there to make Bond at least look good. These aspects of the films aren't great obviously, but in my opinion don't take too much away from the experience. This isn't a film about those people, it's about Bond, and he at least is respectful to these charicature characters that the writers chose to neglect. It's important to talk about these things when watching older films, even if I don't necessarily let it affect the final score. There are problems with writing your minority and female characters as just side pieces to Bond that go beyond the exclusivity. The film implies that the people around Bond aren't as important and often just get in the way. I'm okay if you surround the main hero with less-important allies, but these characters need to at least be important and fleshed out in their own way. The Bond series certainly isn't the best at that, especially in these older films. But Dr. No delivers exactly what it promises: an action-packed spy thriller with plenty of large setpieces and villains fighting against a dashing, woman-wooing Sean Connery. The film certainly isn't perfect especially by today's standards, but this is a solid film that is enjoyable to watch, and contains some classic 007 scenes that any fan should know about. ("You've had your six" is such a great line).
