Yeah. Pretty cool DVDs. There are some known issues though.

- Color timing is off in some sequences of films. Bond's reintroduction sequence in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" typically hasn't been as blue/purple as it appears in the Ultimate Editions (see here). The first 45 seconds or so of the title sequence of "Live and Let Die" is way too bright and orange (see here). There are other color timing differences between the new and old editions, but these two are the most jarring.

- "A View to a Kill" and "Goldeneye" have been cropped (see here and here).

Anyway, all the films look stunning, especially the Connery ones. The color timing issues on OHMSS and LALD don't really bother me, but some purists are pretty annoyed by it. They're even more upset with the cropping on AVTAK and Goldeneye, but nothing important seems to be missing in each shot. Still, it's not really about more or less image. It's a matter of the correct one.
