  I know it's awful of me, but I can't watch these youtube videos of someone stumbling through a seemingly interminable discussion into a Webcam . . . if it's not one of those, I apologize, but I've tried to watch too many of these painful entries.
  
  On the claims you note here, no, I don't find the film boring at all. In fact, I think it's exceptionally well crafted. And I thought it did a great job in evoking a lot of what the book discussed, though it obviously changed details, such as how Dr. No is dispatched in the novel, and toned down somewhat Fleming's infamous racism.

  He makes a couple of decent points about Honey Ryder and Dr No being underdone in the film compared to the book as far as character is concerned. I don't agree with his conclusions though, and I think that Dr. No is a strong film, certainly not boring. And he claims Dr No is the weakest of Connery's original run of 5 films, which I certainly disagree with.

  The Youtube reviewer in the link, also commented on the radiation suits in the movie saying they were "silly" but I don't know what the guy wanted, I mean the radiation suits were probably of their time...Were Broccoli and Saltzman suppose to make a "cooler" batch of radiation suits for 1962 instead? Or something like that?

  Terence Young knew how to make a Bond film.
