Good conclusion to a good series
I was late getting into Mobile Suit Gundam. When Gundam Wing debuted on the Cartoon Network (with perhaps the best television show trailer ever!) the tagline was "From the Gundam Universe." So I set out to find out about this "Gundam Universe" and the original version of Mobile Suit Gundam. The show was a good one especially for the time period it was created in. It dealt with war and loss and issues that just don't show up in American cartoons. This movie brings the original series to a fitting conclusion. It is also better if you have seen the series to have a better understanding of what is happening in the movie. The movie just starts, there are no real character introductions and no plot developing. The filmmakers believe that if you're watching this movie then you already have a background in the material. So right off the bat, if you're not familiar with the story then you will be lost. The quality of the animation is so much better in the film than in the original series, but the movie still retains the basic look of the characters. I would highly recommend this movie to fans of the original series. I would recommend this to newcomers on the condition that they try to get a hold of the original Gundam movies (which summarize the series) before watching this. It's still a good watch if you don't have a background in the material, but it's so much better with the requisite knowledge.

Definitely the Ultimate Bond Collection (Vol. 2)
1 of 1 found this helpful If you are a James Bond fan, you can't do much better than these collections. MGM is re-releasing all 20 official James Bond movies (that's not counting Casino Royale) in 4 separate box sets. Each of the volumes contains 5 movies, each digitally remastered with a ton of extras. Now if you only want a certain movie then I suggest you either go to a store, search for that single movie on Ebay or pick out the collection that carries it. Now these collections aren't placing the movies in any particular order. You get a variety of Bonds in almost each collection. You get Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan in all 4 volumes. You get Timothy Dalton in Volumes 1 and 2. George Lazenby arrives in Volume 3. And for all those Daniel Craig fans you're left out in the cold until Casino Royale hits store shelves. Volume 2 contains Thunderball, The Spy Who Loved Me, A View to a Kill, Licence to Kill and Die Another Day. Now I'm not like some 007 fans, I didn't get into the character until Timothy Dalton played the role, and that's because I just knew Pierce Brosnan was going to be the next James Bond back in 1987. (What can I say, I was in the 7th grade and I was a big Remington Steele fan.) So this was a great way for me to see how the character had developed over the years. I had seen Licence to Kill and Die Another Day prior to getting this volume. The other 3 movies I vaguely remember watching. I don't like watching movies on broadcast television because so many things are cut out due to broadcast standards. I really enjoyed Die Another Day especially because of all the homages to previous Bond movies. Once you get these collections you appreciate those "easter eggs" even more. The theme song from Thunderball, I found myself singing it a couple of times after watching the movie. Unfortunately my least favorite Bond movie is also contained in this volume, A View to a Kill. I watched it because it was in the box, but that's probably the only time I'll watch it. Thanks to that movie, if The Spy Who Loved Me wasn't in this set, a person might think Roger Moore was the worse Bond ever. And to me that wasn't the case. I enjoyed all the other 007 movies in this volume. If you're a fan of 007 or just want to get an idea of what's behind this love of James Bond, then this is a perfect starting point. Even if, to you, Sean Connery is the first and only Bond or you think that Timothy Dalton should have had a chance to further his take on 007, you'll find something to like in this set. You'll be hard pressed to find a more complete collection of James Bond adventures.

Good show
I really enjoyed this series. It's a goood show with a good combination of comedy and action. The visuals are very crisp. I would have no problem recommending this title.
