From Russia with Love
Film critic James Berardinelli cited this as his favourite Bond film, writing "Only "From Russia with Love" avoids slipping into the comic book realm of "Goldfinger" and its successors while giving us a sampling of the familiar Bond formula (action, gadgets, women, cars, etc.). "From Russia with Love" is effectively paced and plotted, features a gallery of detestable rogues (including the ultimate Bond villain, Blofeld), and offers countless thrills".
